    Amazing venue

    My daughter's wedding/reception at The Waterview 2/2024 was amazing! The venue itself is so beautiful. Due to good weather we were even able to take advantage of their gorgeous grounds to take outside pictures. The food was upscale and so delicious. Our guests were so impressed with the quantity and quality of all of the food. All of the staff were very friendly and professional. Kate was our wedding coordinator and she helped us plan a beautiful day. I highly recommend this venue!

    The Waterview is “The Place”

    The Waterview - What an amazing venue!!

    This venue was truly the best bridal friendly venue we found. From the moment we saw the venue we knew this was the place, it’s scenic beauty, openness, and seclusion was exactly what we were looking for. The Waterview staff confirmed our initial thoughts, as they were super friendly and pleasant. It was refreshing to have venue that displayed and delivered honest and transparent packages about what we can expect and what they would deliver. They never tried to upsell things we didn’t need or want, rather they listened to our vision and made it happen. Zuleika was our coordinator, and we couldn’t be any more grateful for her commitment and thoughtfulness to ensure our wedding was spectacular. During the process of planning (our numerous calls, emails, indecisiveness/uncertainty), we felt catered to as if we were the only wedding party Zuleika was taking care of. Zuleika and her team, never disappointed us but instead reassured us and kept the bride (me) calm. The level of attentiveness we received was consistent throughout the process, from day 1 we were assured we’d be able to integrate and enjoy our favorite Jamaican restaurant’s cuisine into our cocktail hour, to making sure the details of my vision/decor for the ceremony and reception we’re carried out, to ensuring we captured the sparkler send off before our photographer’s contract time ended. Right before the ceremony, a minor detail was out of place and Zuleika made sure it was corrected prior to the start of the ceremony. In addition, they worked with us to setup and break down decor items and it was neatly packed for next day pickup.
    By far, we were beyond blessed to have the Waterview as the venue our wedding. While there are a lot of venues out there, the Waterview is truly a top notice venue that’s easy to work with and has the best staff. Our guests (200+) have not stopped talking about our wedding. Our guest traveled from near and far (Canada, Florida, Jamaica, New York, Seattle, Houston) and raved about the beautiful views (lake and garden views), the food selection(s)/quality/taste, and staff’s genuine interest to ensure all guest were comfortable. Zuleika and her team even opened up the inside venue to several guests who arrived extra early so they didn’t wait outside in the heat. The natural beauty of the venue sitting on the water of Lake Zoar combined with the inside elegant charm is unmatched. Their ability to manage larger weddings seamlessly is phenomenal. The WATERVIEW is “THE PLACE!”

    A huge thank you The Waterview, Zuleika, and the whole Waterview staff team!

    Exceptional

    The team was amazing at the Waterview! Kat was particularly excellent and so kind. It rained the morning of the wedding and the outdoor garden flooded. The staff swept the water out to the drain so that we could have it outside. I am so grateful to our wedding planner for finding that venue for us.

    Amazing Venue

    What an awesome venue! From the start of planning to the day of the wedding, everything was perfect! Our coordinator was awesome, as well as every single person who helped! The venue itself was absolutely stunning - water views, ballroom and bridal suite. They made our daughter’s day perfect! If you're looking for your perfect wedding - this is the place!

    Amazing!

    I don't know where to begin. The Waterview was absolutley outstanding. I married into a massive family that has had many weddings over the past decade. They unanimously raved that the Waterview was the best venue they had ever been in. The service and staff were top notch, the price was AFFORDABLE (I couldn't believe how affordable relative to how good it was), the location was gorgeous. Even the food was amazing. I can't tell you how many times I heard people tell me: "I can't believe we actually got good wedding food." 10/10.

    Perfection.

    I have actually lived down the road from the Waterview since it opened but never imagined id get married there. It seems so grand and out of my reach.
    But I was told by my siblings who had worked for the Waterview and by multiple other people that I would love it. So we made an appointment to meet with April.
    Not only were we blown away by the venue but how affordable it was. We picked a Friday in the Winter so was off season.
    April was great to set everything up so when Kat took over it was seamless.
    I couldn’t count how many emails Kat had to answer from me but she always did without fail.
    The day of my bridal attendants were angels and the guests loved the food and venue space.
    The amount of care we felt from the team was astounding and we couldn’t have asked for more.
    Thank you so much for such a memorable day! ❤️❤️❤️

    Top Notch!

    I couldn't recommend a more perfect venue for my NYE wedding. Taylor or team took such good care of my guests throughout the night - the boxed up dinners for guests who needed to leave early, added dessert and late night stations last minute, made the most amazing birthday cake for my father-in-law and the list goes on. I'm so grateful for their monumental role in making my special night so magical!

    The perfect wedding venue!

    Everything about the Waterview was exactly what we wanted. The entire staff were true professionals and knew exactly how to get us ready for our special day, We didn't need to worry about a thing. The Beautiful Lake Zoar was breathtaking. The food and cake were delicious and we couldn't have asked for a bedding wedding. Thankyou to everyone involved!!!

    Dream wedding

    The waterview exceeded our expectations of a dream wedding! We got married 9.10 on the west side. From the moment we toured the venue to our wedding day, everyone at the venue was so helpful and nice. Thank you Taylor, our coordinator, for answering any question I had and for you and our attendants helping our wedding day go smoothly. All of our guests had nothing but great things to say about all the food, the bartender Kenny, and the venue in general. I would highly recommend choosing the waterview for both your ceremony and reception!

    Stunning Venue with Great People

    We had our hybrid South Asian ceremony at The Waterview and they were excellent and took the time to understand all the nuances. The venue was stunning, our wedding coordinator (Taylor) was so helpful, sweet and a star. Everyone raved about the food and how well organized everything was. Thank you team Waterview!

    Above and beyond my dreams

    The Waterview venue and Team made our wedding a dream come true! We were married on a Thursday and enjoyed every moment! The food was amazing, they decorated the venue exactly how we envisioned. Taylor made life full of ease! If any issues came up she took care of them. I was able to relax and enjoy the wedding. From being enthusiastic, sharing ideas and details to making sure that everything was packed up after. No detail was spared and I am so grateful for everything ! We loved it !

    Amazing venue, great staff/team, fairytale wedding!!

    My wedding was early June 2022. I fell in love with the west side outdoor ceremony space. We did an outdoor ceremony, and indoor reception. And honestly it was perfect. The team was great, extremely responsive especially during such a crazy, unsure time, coming fresh out of the pandemic. They were very accommodating and pretty easy to work with. The best part was during my ceremony a family of geese waddled by and it was perfect. My only tip would be girls, if you’re using a cathedral train veil… either test it out before hand or use a runner!!!

    The best venue ever !

    I always knew I wanted to have our wedding at the waterview and we are both so glad that we did. They did an amazing job! Our wedding guests loved the venue, loved the bar, loved the dance floor, loved the food! We had a really big wedding over 250 guests and the staff did a fantastic job ensuring everyone had a great time !

    I can’t thank our coordinator Kat enough for everything she did for us! She went above and beyond to ensure everything went just how we wanted! I highly recommend this venue to anyone getting married

    Absolutely Incredible

    We cannot thank The Waterview enough for creating an amazing wedding reception for us. From the moment we walked in the door, they made planning so easy. To say that our wedding reception was flawless would be an understatement. The Waterview was so incredibly professional and put great care into the details. Our coordinator worked so closely with all of our vendors to ensure that the entire event went without a hitch. The food was incredible, and easily better than fine dining restaurants we've been to. The Waterview offers so many fun options when it comes to food, and the ones we chose absolutely wowed our guests. The Viennese table was gorgeous, and was a fun focal point for guests. The facility and grounds are beautifully kept. We cant thank The Waterview enough for the truly perfect day they gave us!

    Exceeded all expectations!

    The Waterview was an absolutely amazing venue for our wedding. From start to finish, they exceeded all expectations! In terms of the actual facility, the grounds are gorgeous, the facility is beautiful and kept in excellent condition, and the location and views are perfect! The planning process was very straightforward and everything was very clearly outlined. They are very transparent with their pricing and what is included, and never tried to push or sell us anything additional or had any hidden fees, which I know a lot of places try to do. The wedding package includes SO MUCH food — and the food is phenomenal! Our guests talked so highly of the food — many of them were blown away by how excellent the food was! Kat was our wedding coordinator and I cannot speak more highly of her! She is laid back but professional, knowledgable, and so helpful. She never got tired of me emailing her 100 questions and was able to answer all of them and accommodate a few special requests we had. She is absolutely amazing to work with and made our wedding day perfect! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Perfect Venue

    This venue was so beautiful during the day with the big windows and at night with all the candles. Taylor was amazing and very responsive to emails. She was such a huge help the day of and made everything so seamless. The venue even put together the centerpieces. I got so many compliments about the venue and how good the food was :)

    Amazing experience

    Where do I even begin? There are no words to adequately describe the amount of gratitude my husband and I have for the Waterview and the entire amazing team. We booked our wedding in 2018, and we knew from the moment we walked through the doors, we had found our venue. It truly was the best decision we could have made. When COVID hit, April was extremely patient, understanding, and flexible. We ended up postponing three times and they made the difficult process so much easier for us. We finally got to celebrate our wedding on July 16, 2021. Thanks to the Waterview, it was absolutely worth the wait. Kat was are wedding coordinator and she made all of our dreams come true. She is a true professional and truly cares about her couples. I walked into the ballroom and immediately cried because of how amazing everything looked. Kat, Angela, and the entire Waterview staff did everything they could to make sure our day was nothing short of perfect. They are amazing. We are so glad that we chose the Waterview for our wedding day and highly recommend this wonderful venue to anyone

    This Venue Was Amazing!!!

    We worked with Colin and Kathleen during the planning process and they were both extremely helpful and responsive. They went above and beyond to accommodate all of our requests and no details were forgotten. During the wedding itself the service was absolutely amazing, and the food and drinks were delicious! In addition to all of that, the venue is BEAUTIFUL and everything was perfect. We would highly recommend The Waterview to anyone!
