The staff at the Waterview is absolutely wonderful. They took my wedding vision and made it come to life! They were so accommodating & helpful throughout the wedding process. Our coordinator, Kat, was fantastic and really helped to make our dream come true. The bridal attendant Lisa was very attentive to my needs the day of and knew exactly what I needed without me even asking. The venue is GORGEOUS and perfect for a wedding or event any time of year. Cant recommend it enough & everyone had so much fun! Reviewed on 29-10-2023

We were very pleased with our wedding! All of our guests were impressed by the professionalism, the food, and the service. The coordinator was wonderful and checked in with us throughout the day. All of the decorations were set up exactly how I specified in my directions. The bridal attendant was also very attentive. The bar staff was also very efficient and kind, serving my husband and I right when we got up to the bar, so we never had to wait for a drink. There was only one âhiccupâ during the day (we had requested cupcakes but they made a cake instead), but it was a blip that only I knew about/noticed. The coordinator also offered to discuss with management about a possible refund due to the mistake, which was good customer service. I havenât heard back yet so I am not sure if I will get reimbursed, but the offer was thoughtful anyway. Reviewed on 22-10-2023

The Waterview was absolutely phenomenal. They gave me the best wedding planner - Zuleika went above and beyond to make sure I had the perfect day. She steamed my wedding gown the day before, she hung up and displayed all my many many boxes of wedding supplies, and she had amazing attention to detail. My bridal attendants Lisa & Angela were also absolutely amazing. The food at the Waterview is amazing. The view and location is gorgeous. The attention to detail was so good, they did everything I asked for and more! Reviewed on 14-10-2023

We had both our wedding ceremony & reception here and it was the BEST day of our lives!!! Our wedding coordinator, Zulieka, was phenominal and walked us through all of the planning. As the bride, my family was putting a ton of pressure on me for my big dayâwith seating, who was invited, music, the ceremony, transportation, etc...However, everything came together beautifully on our wedding day and I am just so grateful for all the staff at The Waterview. It was truly the PERFECT day in every way. The location was beautiful, the weather was perfect, the food was excellent, and the staff were all so attentive and kind. I can't thank all the staff enough for all their hardwork, especially our Coordinator Zulieka. I totally recommend this wedding venue for your special day!! â¤ď¸ Reviewed on 05-10-2023

This venue truly took my husband and I's breath away. The second we saw it, we knew that this location is where we wanted get married. I could truly not have asked for a better experience with The Waterview. Every single question I asked was answered and every single possible issue that could arise during a wedding was planned for and accounted for in our timeline. The day of my wedding, it was expected to rain and naturally I was upset. My EXCEPTIONAL wedding coordinator Zuleika and her team were so patient and waited until 10 minutes before the ceremony to allow me to decide if I wanted the ceremony inside our outside. Luckily, the venue set up for both inside and out for me and we were able to do it outside. Zuleika was beyond accommodating, communicative, friendly, easy-going, and incredibly organized. She replied to my thousands of questions SO fast and was upbeat and positive the day of the wedding, often reassuring me that the rain will hold off and any issue that came up would be handled. And let me tell you, it was. I had some issues arise the morning of and Zuleika and the venue staff handled it immediately. This venue and the team that work there were the best staff I could have ever asked for. They executed the wedding exactly the way I asked, made sure all family, friends, and wedding party members were exactly where they needed to be and I was not even stressed once during the day. Zuleika handled absolutely everything exceptionally, my only job was to relax and get ready. I cannot believe how smoothly the day went, and how easygoing it was for me as the bride. I thought I would be starving, stressed, and running around LOL it was the complete opposite! I was able to eat my meal (food was SO SO SO good), drink at the bar, spend time with my family and friends, and most importantly, enjoy the best night of my life with my husband. I wish I could relive this day over and over because The Waterview made sure it was absolutely perfect. I could not have asked for a better experience. Zuleika was the absolute best coordinator I could have ever asked for, and I can not rave enough about her. I am so happy that I chose this venue. I cannot wait to go back and visit it over the years. The happiest memories of my life were made there, and I owe it all the to phenomenal staff . Reviewed on 05-09-2023

The Waterview This venue was truly the best bridal friendly venue we found. From the moment we saw the venue we knew this was the place, itâs 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 didnât need or want, rather they listened to our vision and made it happen. Zuleika was our coordinator, and we couldnât 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 weâd be able to integrate and enjoy our favorite Jamaican restaurantâs cuisine into our cocktail hour, to making sure the details of my vision/decor for the ceremony and reception weâre carried out, to ensuring we captured the sparkler send off before our photographerâs 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 thatâs 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 staffâs 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 didnât 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 âTHE PLACE!âA huge thank you The Waterview, Zuleika, and the whole Waterview staff team! Reviewed on 04-08-2023

Christina Clancy(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-11-2022 We looked at 5 venues in our early days of planning, and the Waterview was among the first, so it became the one to beat. I fell in love with the windows in the garden room instantly, and knew that THAT was the place we wanted to get married. We had a 2 1/2 year engagement, so the process was less stressful in general, but the Waterview (Joanna and Kat in particular) made it even less stressful. They were there when I needed them with small and big questions. They were supportive, and helped with the entire process of planning. Kat was assigned to be our venue coordinator and when we met with her 6 months before the wedding, we felt so relieved that everything was falling into place especially with her help. Now, THE FOOD.... usually when venues are all inclusive, the food can be hit or miss, but let me tell you - EVERYONE still mentions the food to us! There was SO MUCH of it. Plus our stations that we added (DO THE FRENCH FRY BAR!!) really kept our guests happy and full. Our bridal attendants were amazing - helping me get out of my dress into my second outfit was clutch! Oh and pro tip - if you book early enough, you can go to multiple showcases and sample food! Really helped us on our decisions for cocktail hour. We really could not have asked for a better venue to work with. Reviewed on 21-12-2022

Carly Dorman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-06-2021 Our wedding at The Waterview was basically a 2 year process having booked everything in late spring/ early summer 2019 for a June 2020 wedding that had to be postponed to June 2021 due to the pandemic. Everything had basically been planned already for our 2020 wedding before the need to postpone. We'd experienced the food and cake tastings and all the details were pretty much sorted thanks to April and Colin for being so communicative and accommodating. Making the decision to postpone was so heartbreaking because at the start of the pandemic no one knew what was going on or how long it would take to congregate safely again. April was one of the only people left in the office at that point, and she made it so easy to push our wedding out to the same exact weekend a year later. (We were also super lucky that all of our vendors were also available for the new date.) When The Waterview finally reopened and we were in the all clear to resume planning, we picked right back up with Colin where we'd left off. He was there to answer any questions we had, especially ones regarding the health and safety of our family and friends and The Waterview staff. The Waterview was with us every step of the way. They made everything very clear (payment due dates, how and when to drop off personal items for the wedding, the rehearsal, coordinating vendors, etc.) Our ceremony was in the West Side Garden which was so beautiful. It was important to us to be outdoors, especially near the water, and the pergola, garden, and fountains made it like a dream come true. The cocktail hour and reception in the West Side Ballroom which had huge bay windows brought all the beauty of the outdoors inside. Our guests loved the food and the space. Having looked at wedding venues outside of Connecticut, our eyes really opened to find that there are many venues where EVERYTHING is a la carte. It made things soooo easy to find a space as beautiful as The Waterview where everything is included: tables, chairs, linen, cocktail hour, multi-course dinner (by the way, everyone thought the Asian Short Rib Salad was the main course!...nope, more food was coming!), open bar, wedding cake, bridal suite, wedding coordinator, bridal attendants, and more! They were also there to accommodate dietary restrictions and other personal needs for some of our guests. At the end of the night, they helped us gather our belongings and pack everything up including much leftover food. Colin kept things running on schedule and checked in with my husband and I throughout the event to make sure we were okay. It was a night to remember and the entire experience was more than we could have ever asked for! Reviewed on 29-01-2022

After taking our initial tour we decided to book the Waterview because she was so accommodating to our needs and our budget. She was very helpful and professional throughout the entire wedding planning process and our wedding day! We loved working with her so much that we booked the Waterview for a large fundraising event in November 2021.

Melissa Amoroso-Mucci(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-07-2021 Beautiful venue both inside and out. Unfortunately we had our wedding inside (in the Garden Room) due to the rain, but the venue let us make the call as late as possible. Luckily we still got photos outside.*Colin (event coordinator) and Amy (bridal attendant) were phenomenal - I would give them more than 5 stars if I could. Working with the general manager to postpone our wedding (due to COVID) was a bad experience. She treated me like I was inconveniencing her. Also beware of the high service charge that seemed to come out of nowhere (probably raised due to COVID), but I am glad their staff makes good money because they are truly exceptional. I just wish they were more up front about it - I donât remember it being the same as the all in price we were quoted when we booked. Definitely make sure you book with the Garden Room as a backup in case of inclement weather - they really make it look beautiful if you have to do your ceremony in there.They also did the wrong design on the cake and I didnât like it. Not a huge deal but a small detail that shouldnât have been wrong. I was supposed to have 2 bridal attendants but 1 just introduced herself and I never saw her again. Amy was my only bridal attendant and again was phenomenal. Reviewed on 11-07-2021

Kat & the team at The Waterview go above and beyond in every single way. After a year postponement and struggling to deal with changing covid restrictions, Kat was always available to answer questions and help plan and adjust details as needed. On our wedding day from the second we arrived at the property the team was at our service, making sure we had everything we needed and that we could relax and enjoy the day. During pictures they brought us drinks & glasses of water, helped me carry my very heavy train and kept everyone on schedule and having fun. Many of our guests stopped us during the night to not only comment on the gorgeous venue but at the quality of the service, it really was like nothing I've ever experienced at any other wedding. We dropped off all of our \"stuff\" in advance and the team set everything up exactly how we wanted and then packed it all up at the ended of the night. We had a late night food station that had a lot of leftovers and the team packed all of that up to send back to the hotel with us along with my husband and I's leftover dinners and a TON of leftover wedding cake.

The building and grounds are GORGEOUS, and although we had to move our July 2019 wedding inside due to a heat wave, they coordinated everything so smoothly and it went off without a hitch. The food and drinks were fantastic, and the wedding cake they provided was both beautiful and delicious.

This is the first and biggest (as well as priciest) decision to kick off your wedding planning. The Waterview is a well oiled machine. Making sure your day is exactly how you envisioned. Marie and the entire team I've come into contact with have been extremely helpful throughout the entire process. These are the professionals here people! This beautifully decorated, spacious and clean, along with wonderful accommodations (food is exceptional and let's not forget the view of Lake!). My review is lengthy because I want to take the time to help guide those who may be considering. Long story short, BOOK IT! Longer story below :) My fiance and I viewed 3 total properties in-person. We were wowed by them all but we do have to say, The Waterview establishment was the first place we visited and THE PLACE for us to host the biggest day of our lives. The parking lot, is plenty. The million dollar view of Lake Zoar and panoramic view really excels this location. I wasn't looking for a water view in my reception location, but have to say, it was quite a 'wow' moment and gasp of well, now I NEED a lake to compliment my wedding venue. The chandeliers are extravagant as well as their tableware, chairs and flooring. I have to say I was also impressed by their beautiful wooden bar. Other than the dance floor, this is where a lot of friends and family gather to celebrate. At least my friends and family! The bar was spacious and very inviting. For all these reasons and more, we decided rather quickly, this was the spot for us. What really sealed the deal was their moderate pricing, which has so much value! It made this choice rather easy to make a confident decision. Marie Bedoya was my point of contact and 'unofficial wedding planner.' from the start of planning, to the next mile stone, to next steps Marie and team really kept us on schedule and organized. Marie was very flexible and had patience. I sent numerous emails and pictures along the way and she was very responsive through it all. I felt like she became family. To help execute and provide professional opinions to support our vision was really important to us. Marie and The Waterview team did just that. Reviewed on 12-06-2020

Sciarra Brandt(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-11-2019 The second you walk into the Waterview you will be blown away. The staff is absolutely incredible- from the front desk greeting you with an infectious smile to the wait staff treating you like royalty, to the bartenders signing your guest book. The moment I sat down with April to talk about plans and options, I knew this would be the location where I married my best friend. Planning a wedding was extremely stressful but thank god that I had Colin on my side. I probably messaged him 100 questions a week. Not only did he answer me immediately, he calmed my nerves. All I had to do was submit the names of my vendors and I never had to worry about anything for them. Colin took care of it all. Trust me, taking anything off of your plate is a blessing. The day before the wedding I handed everything over to Colin with full trust that he would make all my of decorations look beautiful. He exceeded all of my expectations, I had guests commenting \"I loved looking at all of your details\" and the \"dĂŠcor was absolutely beautiful\". The day of my wedding was even better than I could have imagined. I had Sara following me around to get my husband and I drinks, to fluff my dress and to make me feel like the most important person on the planet. Gus was there to take care of my entire bridal party-19 people! He was running drinks and making sure their bellies stayed full all night! Colin was there by our side the entire time, to make sure we didn't miss any big moments that we planned, to make sure we ate the amazing food we had selected- which included bringing out a hot steak when you are ready instead of having it sit on your table to turn to ice. Food was extremely important to us, and I had guests raving about the amazing appetizers, loving their meals, drooling over the gelato bar and running to grab a breakfast sandwich at the to go station. I can't say enough great things about this place. You will not regret booking the Waterview as your venue. Reviewed on 20-11-2019

Taryn Hallowell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-10-2019 We had looked at 12 venues before finding The Waterview on lucky number 13. We are from NJ but The Waterview popped up as an ad on google based on my previous searches. We were leaning towards a venue in PA when I saw the ad and I could not stop thinking about it. I decided to visit The Waterview myself to try to rule it out so I would not wonder if our wedding would have been better there if we chose another venue. I absolutely loved The Waterview and my fiance made the trip back up to CT with me the very next day to see it for himself. He agreed it was the perfect venue and exactly what we were looking for. We did have a vision for our day and we knew we wouldn't find another venue more in line with our vision than The Waterview. What we did not know at the time of our first visit is how incredible the staff would be. There are not enough words to describe how amazing the staff was, especially Kat- the wedding coordinator. I made several trips to The Waterview prior to our wedding to make sure that I had all the information I needed to ensure our wedding day ended up exactly how we had envisioned it. Each visit Kat and the other staff at The Waterview were so kind to me and never made me feel annoying or overbearing. The Wednesday Prior to our wedding day we brought most of our \"stuff\" to the venue and added some lights to the west garden area along with making sure the fabric I created for the arch was properly set up for the day of. It was HOT out. Kat helped us get the fabric on top of the 10 foot tall arch which for the first time was no small feat. We were and still are very appreciative because she did not have to do that at all. The day before the wedding at our rehearsal we were 40 minutes late due to some terrible traffic from NJ. Kat made sure everything went quickly and smoothly and got all of the information I didn't even realize we needed. She walked us through exactly what would happen and I felt confident that the day of it would be simple and easy. Our wedding day was the most perfect day and I truly believe that is thanks to the staff at The Waterview. Our vision really came to life and couldn't have been more in line with what we had envisioned. Our escort cards were in envelopes that the staff hung with mini clothes pins, each guest had a personalized menu and place card at their table, among countless other details planned for the day- all of which were executed perfectly by the staff. Amy and Erin were our amazing bridal attendants and they did not miss a beat. I did not travel to the bar even once as they got me everything I could possibly need and more! George, who was the coordinating assistant, was also amazing and helped to make sure everything ran smoothly. I received so many compliments on our wedding whether it was the amazing food, the intricate detail, the beauty of the venue, how smooth everything went and it is all thanks to The Waterview and their incredible staff. Quite a few people said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Do yourself a favor and book The Waterview- you will not regret it and they will help make it the best day of your life.

Michelle Morrell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-08-2018 We LOVED our experience at the Waterview. They were the most responsive venue right from the beginning and when other venues didn't respond to our e-mails or couldn't fit us in for tours, the Waterview responded quickly and scheduled us in ASAP.During the planning process, we loved the tasting/open house night where we could taste the various add-on stations for cocktail hour and dessert, and our planner Kathleen was always just a quick e-mail away and was great in answering any of my seemingly silly questions. She was also able to accommodate a guest with a food allergy with ease and we didn't have to worry about her meal that night at all.On the day of our wedding, the Waterview ran like a well-oiled machine. My two bridal attendants were absolutely wonderful and very sweet, and helped me out wherever they could, literally up until the second I walked out the door at the end of the night! Our bridal suite was always stocked with food and drinks, and Kat was a reassuring presence throughout the day and got everyone exactly where they needed to be. Even the bartenders knew me by name, though my glass never went un-filled as my attendants brought me whatever I needed all night without me even asking. The treatment that we received as bride and groom was just top notch.I can't say enough good thinks about Kat and the Waterview in general. The amount of \"extras\" that are included for the price can't be beat, and afterwards our guests raved about the food and the service which were both wonderful. Thank you for making our wedding so awesome! Reviewed on 02-10-2018
Krystal A(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-08-2018 We got married at the Waterview on 8/25/18 and it was PERFECT.

They made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, from our FaceTime tour with April (we were living in LA and planning the wedding from across the country, which sounds like a nightmare, but The Waterview made it so easy!) to the day of festivities with Colin.

The staff, especially Marie our coordinator and Christina who was one of our attendants on our big day, were beyond amazing! We had to change the location of the ceremony last minute due to rain, and Marie so effortlessly pulled everything together including decorating the arch with flowers! They were so efficient and calming that I, who am totally type-A, did not worry about a single thing the entire night! From the champagne when our bridal party first arrived to helping us load the limo at the end of the night everyone was amazing!! And the food!!! My husband and I didnât have a lot of time to eat between talking to everyone, but our guests raved about the food for weeks!! And Marie sent us home with our meals that we didnât touch because we were too busy talking...which was a wonderful thing to have at 2am when you finally have a chance to relax and are starving!
