A View West Shores was absolutely incredible. The staff, the scenery, and the overall vibe were just so elegant and exactly what I was envisioning. Being from MN, the lake is my happy place. Booking this venue for our wedding was one of the bes...t decisions we made during the planning process. The venue windows are facing West so the sunset hits the windows so perfectly right on the dance floor. We had our head table set up with the lake in the background and the pictures are breathtaking. Truthfully, I am not sure you’re going to find a more beautiful venue in Nebraska.
Expense-wise, it’s worth it. If it’s in your budget, this is your place to spend your money.
I was absolutely blown away by the communication, meetings, emails, and the overall comfortable feeling we had every time we walked through the doors. Katina, Lindsay, and Conner were absolutely incredible.
From a bride's perspective, A View West Shores is going to make you feel like royalty. They treat their brides, especially, so well. The suites downstairs, and the accommodations they had for our entire bridal party were so professional. Luckily, we were the only event booked that ENTIRE week in August so the wedding week was completely stress-free as Katina allowed me to set up that Wednesday prior to the Saturday wedding!
When booking a venue, I remember walking down to the lake at A View West Shores and instantly looking over to my fiance at the time. It was absolutely silent and he just hugged me. He knew. He knew this was where I would be the most happy on the best day of our lives. We booked the venue that night and still today are blown away by the scenery. I felt right back at home, and at some angles, it may have even been prettier ;)
After seeing some reviews, I do think a lot of couples expect vendors to completely read their minds and take care of everything. Unfortunately, if you want YOUR perfect day, the couple will have to meet in the middle with the effort. This venue especially where you can have multiple events in a night makes it even more important to communicate. I would say as long as you are organized and discuss exactly what you envision and give a timeline to follow, this venue will exceed your expectations. Not being afraid to ask questions and keeping active communication I believe is the reason that everything ran so smoothly throughout the entire process...( I even sent a final email the NIGHT before to confirm some untouched topics and they turned out to be the things we got complimented on the most!). S/O to Katina and Lindsay for allowing me to spam their inbox for months :)
Thank you @aviewvenues for giving me a place that felt like home. A place that my family from Minnesota even raved about the day of. There was nothing but smiles and sunshine overlooking the shore all day. It’s “A view” you just can’t top anywhere else in this state😌…See what I did there ;)
Will forever be recommending this place to couples!
All our love,
