Hi Peter

Just to say a huge thank you for a great night. You put on a lovely selection of food and made the night excellent, please pass the thanks onto your staff and the DJ. I will be back in touch and hopefully can get my bosses to agree to Christmas on the barge.

Many Thanks

Thank you so much for hosting 'Musique Cirque' for Unicef. Lots of audience members commented on how lovely the venue was. The staff were amazingly helpful too!

Thanks again!

Hi Pete,

Just a quick note to say thank you again for another fantastic party on the Barge!

I have to say that I had an even better time than last year - and I really didn't think that would be possible.

I've had nothing but great feedback from everyone who attended and I was really impressed by the amount of people (and there really was a big crowd this year!) who were bowled over by the unique charms of the Barge. I think it's a pretty safe bet to say there is only one place that Paul and I would consider for the big 3-0 looming next year.

Thanks also to you personally and your bar staff for your charm and patience towards all our guests, it really impresses me every year how you're always one of the last standing, let alone how you manage to do it with a smile on your face!

Although I've not quite managed to get to grips with my new digital camera yet, someone else did manage to take one good picture with it and I've attached it for you. I promise by time next year comes round I will finally be able to take some good pictures which I will pass on!

All the very best, and now I've moved I hope to be able to visit a lot more regularly!!!!!

Yours,

Mike

Hi Peter

Well - thanks so much again for hosting us on the barge.

What can I say? It was absolutely fantastic. I've been inundated with messages from friends saying how much they loved the barge, the food, the atmosphere, the gentle sway of the water...etc!

I'm guessing that your status as one of London's best kept secrets is quickly being let out of the bag!

Can we book tickets for your play online? Or is it a pay on the door type of deal?

Thanks again for everything,

Paul and Cara

Hi Peter

I just wanted to drop you a little note to say thank you for a great evening last night. We got so many comments on how fantastic the food was, and I couldn't agree more. My only regret is not having gone for seconds! Everybody was also really impressed with the barge as a party venue. And thanks also to the chap who sorted out the problems with the sound system.

I hope we left the barge in a good state. The last hour is a bit of a blur to me... (though that didn't stop us continuing to party when we got home!).

Thanks again for everything. I hope we'll have another excuse to throw a party on the barge again soon. :-)

Best wishes

Hello Peter

Sorry this has taken so long to do but Cliff and I just wanted to say a big huge thank you for all your help and effort last week, and also of course all the "team". Everyone appeared (no DID!) have a wonderful time. I've never seen so many big grins on so many faces all at one time (oh maybe the last Queen concert at Wembley way back then!!). I know we always say it but it is such a wonderful venue with a great atmosphere and perfect for our quirky parties!

The food and service was great as usual. We know we can always rely on you and your staff to look after our guests. We hope you all enjoyed yourselves too even though it was work, and we do appreciate you accommodating our unusual entertainers!!

Anyway, no doubt will speak again soon....have a lovely holiday!!!

Best regards

Hi Peter and Aaron,

Sorry it's taken me a while to sit down and write this, but I just had to let you know how absolutely overjoyed we were with our wedding on the Battersea Barge.

Your staff were amazing; the food- unbelievable for the price, magnificent. In fact, the whole atmosphere and surroundings were stunning. I had imagined the day being perfect, and it was. Aaron, you were so helpful setting the whole thing up, and Peter, you are a marvelous and generous host. Everyone said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and I couldn't agree more. We will certainly have another party with you guys at some point!

Thanks again guys,

Love

I LOVE the Barge, it feels like coming home to me, the whole atmosphere, the food, the staff, the owner, all just right for a friendly and relaxing evening.

Excellent live music especially 3 Blind Mice and when Peter (the ownwer) gets up and plays piano for us! The barge rocks and not just because the tide is in!!

Dear Peter

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and all the staff for making my party such a success! Everyone seemed to have a great time (there were a few casualties the next day from over indulgence I fear) and thought the venue was just amazing, so I hope that will have a knock on effect for you.

Once again,
Many thanks

Dear Peter

We had the most perfect wedding day on the Battersea Barge. Everyone commented on the beautiful food, the stunning views in the evening and the gorgeous, intimate venue. It was great to have the ceremony and reception in the same place and, when most wedding venues kick you out at midnight, we had a fabulous party into the small hours. The staff were warm and down-to-earth and looked after us, and our guests beautifully. We couldn't have picked a more perfect place to get hitched.

Dear Pete,

Just a quick note from me to say thank you so much again for everything on Saturday night.

It really was the best party we’ve ever had – the barge was truly rocking all night!!!

I’m sorry my friend with the camera didn’t turn up as I’d hoped but he got called away to do a shoot for MTV and really couldn’t turn it down as he’s just starting out as a photographer.

I’m sure Paul and Cara will forward you anything decent from their camera if you want to update the pictures on the website.

I’m already looking forward to heading down to the Barge and the Leather Ex again when I’m back in the UK for further unique and unforgettable nights out!

All the very best,

Mike

Dear Peter,

Thank you very much to everyone at the barge, both management and staff, for helping us have such a magical and memorable wedding evening. We were impressed by the professionalism and warmth of all the staff, and the venue itself was ideally suited to such an event. Many of our guests commented on its very individual charm.

Thank you again for all that you did.

Magnus and Annalisa.

Dear Peter,

Sorry it has taken me so long to write this but I wanted to find the right words to thank you and your team for an amazing wedding at the Battersea Barge on 30 September.

Remembering my anxiety before the wedding, we couldn't have wished for better day! Everything worked out brilliantly. Nothing was too much for you, including proving much needed cups of tea and dispelling my anxiety during the preparations for the day. You have a team of staff to be truly proud of. They were absolutely fantastic. Please pass on my heartfelt thanks to all of them for being part of such a memorable day for the bride and groom, myself, family and all the guests. It was a wedding with a difference.

Once again, thank you.

Sincerely,

Jane (mother of the bride)

Hi there,

Just a note to thank you for a fantastic day yesterday. The wedding was perfect in everyway and nothing could have been done better. Peter you were extremely helpful during the evening - thank you for making it all so easy.

Aaron you were amazing it made the planning so much easier with your friendly help and guidance and I can honestly say that the whole experience from beginning to end - almost a year!!! - was extremely enjoyable.

If ever you need a reference for Parties on the barge then Alex, Simone and I would be more than happy to give you a truly glowing one.

Once again thank you for making it all such a totally unforgettable and thoroughly enjoyable wedding.

Celia.

Hi Peter, Aaron and co.

Thanks very much for the super time on Friday evening. All our guests, Rachel and I really enjoyed ourselves. Quite a few of us went out to a nightclub afterwards and it was very amusing to see the number of builders’ hats bobbing up and down across the dance floor there as well.

The barge was lovely. All your staff were fabulously helpful and accommodating, making our time there awesome. Incidentally more than a few guests indicated how much they enjoyed the venue and were considering using it in the future. I hope something materialises for you from this. Similarly, when I engaged you folk, I mentioned that I am in the process of starting a dating agency. Both my partners for this venture were at the party and we all look forward to using it again in the future.

Here’s one pic from the party which I like. There are several other cool pics, for which I shall send you a URL in due course, but in the meantime, enjoy this one. Please say thanks to all the crew. Wishing you all the best.

Until next time.

Dear Peter,

We are finally honeymooned and back in Malaysia, and it's been a while since 22nd July so thanks are long overdue.

Many, many thanks to you and the Barge gang for a wonderful day at the Battersea Barge. The canapes that you provided for our post ceremony reception were delicious and added the bit of class that we were looking for whilst our guests had drinks and photos.

The Barge is a great location with a unique view along the Thames and the atmosphere was everything we could have hoped for.... intimate, urban and very, very cool. The buffet was excellent with many compliments from our friends - the spread was amazing!

As for you Peter, you were helpful at every step of the way, and so relaxed that at times it made us worried!

We had a fantastic day (as I'm sure was very apparent) and can only apologise for having too much fun and making your life difficult when trying to get rid of us all!

Wishing the next people to have their wedding reception at the Barge as much fun as we had...

Lorna & Walid Omar
