Its a beautiful building with a great view of the lake. Unfortunately it was closed and I couldnt get inside. Definitely worth a drive by and pictures

Worth the stop. If youre a Wright fan this is a great building to check out. It was built off of his drawings in 2007.

We were married this past summer at the FLW Fontana Boathouse and had an incredible experience. First off, I would say this is one of the most beautiful locations in Buffalo as the building is perched right on the shore of Lake Erie and provides some incredible views and sunsets. When we were looking at wedding venues we looked at several nice spaces but when we scheduled our time to view the Boathouse we really fell in love with the space and location.This is not an all-inclusive, check the box package as many wedding venues are set-up these days. We picked our caterer, arranged the tent, tables, chairs and linens, and coordinated several other key logistics and requirements for our wedding day (e.g. liability insurance and liquor license). It was a bit of work on our end, however we were able to create a unique and one of a kind experience. My wife & I are avid sailors and love the water. When we realized that there was a floating dock; we decided to have our marriage ceremony on a sailboat alongside the Boathouse.The Boathouse is very simple and elegant, with clean lines and lots of light. It provided for a great architectural backdrop for our photos. The cost for renting the space is really affordable in comparison to many other venues. We were able to have the space (which includes the Boathouse and access to West Side Rowing Club) the whole weekend which made having the tent set-up/breakdown really convenient.The venue coordinator, Martha, has a laid back style and approach. She was very helpful and met all of our needs. My wife and I were able to meet with Martha several times beforehand to ensure all of our questions were answered about the space and give us confidence everything was in order. On our wedding day she arrived early to meet our wedding coordinator and was able to provide clear direction and full access and use of the space.If you are looking for an indoor/outdoor space to have a summer wedding, we would highly suggest the FLW Fontana Boat House. We really feel our wedding was a magical day and are truly blessed to have had such a special setting to celebrate with our friends and family.

Nice setting for medium size events, the terrace and main room gives a wonderful view of the water. The staff was very accommodating for our event.

If I could give this review a -5, I would in a heartbeat. The boathouse coordinator – Martha made me regret choosing this location to host my wedding ceremony. To summarize - Martha was absolute hell to work with; she was terrible with communication- returning my calls, and texts throughout the 5 months we were in contact. She attacked me my wedding day stating I did not pay her for the event and made it seem as though I couldn’t host it. When in fact, I paid her in person the day before. I had several witnesses and a checkbook to prove it. She continued to attack me to the point I cried before walking down the aisle. My father in law spoke up stating we have money and can pay her. After the ceremony she must have found her check and told my in-laws that she found it. SHE DIDN’T EVEN HAVE THE NERVE TO APOLOGIZE TO ME FOR HER ACCUSATION- NEVERTHELESS MAKING ME CRY BEFORE WALKING DONE THE AISLE.Now here is every reason why I shouldn’t have gone through with the boathouse.Before booking the location – Martha was a little odd in not meeting up with me to show the location and sign the contract. Stating she had personal matters to handle and driving out to FLWFB is more of a hassle during the winter months – despite my interest in having that done. I liked the location so I still booked it.From the beginning I told her I wanted to hold my rehearsal ceremony at the location and she told me she couldn’t give me an accurate date or time until 2 weeks before my wedding in case some other event that would give her more money wanted it but she would work with me. I told her I would give her some time and called 2 months prior- we confirmed over the phone the date and time for the rehearsal. I contacted her a week before the wedding to confirm everything was set and she had the audacity to tell me she had an event the day before my wedding and we could not do our rehearsal. She had forgotten completely over our conversation and just booked someone else and didn’t care to fix the issue in the beginning. When I had told her I was upset and unhappy she was very rude and rather attacked me. We eventually came to an agreement but I was not pleased at all with how she handled this.Another conflict was when Martha failed to give me instructions properly in getting the event insurance. She stated several times that I had to go through my home-owners and upon dealing with her insurance agent that was incorrect. I dealt with Dawn Martin who was also a witch over the phone. She was very nasty with me and very inpatient- yet I had all the wrong Information from her staff- Martha!Then came the day of the wedding - where Martha felt the need to attack me moments before I said I do- when she had my husband and both my parents that were lingering around for at least an hour before I arrived. Yet she waited to be the evil witch she is, until I arrived.Martha and her staff made me regret choosing this location. Be warned that if you plan to have your outdoor event here it can be super windy especially being so close to the water and highway.

Right on the water, very cool build from original Frank Lloyd Wright.

Sleek design

I know that the members work hard and training is intense! The boat house is historic and visitation is possible.

Beautiful location, great staff, very simple and elegant building. Was perfect for our wedding party.

The woodwork is beautiful! Far more than a utility building.

Charming intimate atmosphere.

This is a lovely place for a party. everything has been given attention, including the restrooms.

Awesome! Maybe not the most practical building but it it really cool.

Beutiful architecture, poor detaile such as ceramic key less light fixtured like you would find in your basement or garage.

Row row, row, your boats in famous Rowing Boathouse built by none other than Frank L Wright. If you are a architect student and/or fan, then you must visit this building wherever you are in this area.

Need to schedule tours thru Explore Buffalo

Anything flw is a treat

Looked great on the outside but it was closed. Made a special trip to see it. If you go call first, website sid it was open.

We were on an All Wright tour sponsored through Forest Lawn. This was one of the stops. We also enjoyed a catered luncheon here on our stop.

It was ok but not inspiring

FLW design. Not much to see from the outside.

Relaxing. Just those darn geese projectiles.

If youre lucky enough to visit when a crew team is practicing, you might be able to visit inside and see the details of Frank Lloyd Wrights genius up close.
