My husband and I held our reception here on a Saturday, and it was wonderful! The staff were very friendly and made sure everything looked perfect. We hosted our guests in their recently renovated Reflections on the Lake room and everyone thought it was beautiful! The dusty blue walls, crystal chandelier, and gold accents perfectly complemented our color scheme and the beautiful view of Cheat Lake in the winter. (And in the summer, from what we could tell when we toured!)
We did a seated Romantic dinner. The food was delicious, though it could've been a bit warmer. Regardless, the culinary team at Lakeview was fantastic about accommodating our guests’ dietary restrictions! Some of our guests had celiac, diabetes, or both. They ensured that these guests would not only be able to safely enjoy dinner, but also, upon our request, acquired GF, NSA sorbets so they could enjoy a safe dessert too! The kitchen even cut and serve a dessert we brought in for one of our guests in the specific way we asked!
Lakeview was overall very easy to work with. At only one point we experienced a lapse in communication (the wedding sales coordinator Savannah was laid off, and our new point of contact became the manager), but I don’t believe that would occur for another couple booking now.
A few more points of interest:
Lakeview did a great job cutting and serving our cake! Once we cut it, Josh carefully carried it back to the kitchen. He seems very experienced and, again, was careful, but we might have felt more comfortable putting the cake on a cart instead of a table.
They were great about remembering to set aside the top tier of our cake! One can tell they put a lot of care into boxing it up. For this, we’re very thankful.
We had some leftover cake at the end of the night that we meant to pick up on Monday (Lakeview is closed on Sundays) when we came to clean up our decorations, but it unfortunately had been tossed. We just wish that they had put it in the fridge instead.
We used our own napkins, and the staff was great about this! They not only pressed and folded them in the way we asked, but they also laundered them for us after our reception!
They have a speaker and microphone available for events. Both were great and very intuitive to switch between AUX and Bluetooth. The speaker is definitely loud enough for the entire Reflections room.
They let us do a large cookie table display at no charge for the tables! This is a very meaningful tradition from where my husband and I are from, so we were very happy that they allowed our family/friends to bring all that they'd baked and were so accommodating.
Lakeview has very beautiful gold-beaded glass chargers for events. The dinner plates spin and slide around on these chargers, but we were able to completely solve this problem by cutting out 8.5” circles out of shelf liner and placing these between the charger and the plate.
Finally, they began renovations on their hotel while we were planning our wedding. Each contract comes with a block of 10 rooms and an additional complementary room for the groom and bride. Given that the hotel wasn't available on our date, the manager upgraded our block and complementary room to the condos Lakeview has on site. Our block had 10 condos and our own. They let us use our condo to get ready the morning of, and kept the rate for the other condos the same as it would be for the hotel rooms!
In total, we would absolutely recommend choosing Lakeview for a wedding reception.
BEWARE! Thousands of Dollars STOLEN!
Do Not Have Your Wedding or Event Here! My Fiancé and I were scheduled to have our wedding here in July of 2020. Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, this has to be postponed and eventually canceled. I tried to work with the events team and the manager to figure out how to proceed, but I kept getting switched to different people and then our calls were not answered at all. The contract promised a refund as they were not able to hold our event, and the manager confirmed this, but to this day I have not received any money back. I had to get a lawyer involved and have an order from the judge for us to be refunded, but have still not gotten any money 3 years later. This venue stole thousands of dollars from us without a care and have proceeded to dodge our attempts to reach them ever since. They apparently don't mind stealing from couples trying to celebrate what is supposed to be the best day of their lives. I Repeat: Do Not Have Your Event Here!
Had my wedding here in October. The ceremony was outside and reception followed inside. The people they had catering acted like they had know idea what they were doing. I had to ask for them to bring us a cutlery set for our cake. They almost started to cut the top of our cake when we wanted it reserved. One of our guests had to find the box and put it in the fridge at the front desk. I was told all of our decorations would be packed up in totes that we had brought them in and to pick them up the following week. Nothing was packed up. The night of the wedding my husband and I were supposed to have a suite to stay in but it wasn’t cleaned so they ended up taking us in a golf cart to a condo (which was nice but how do you not have a clean room for the couple)??? The next day we noticed that there were still things from the ceremony outside. We asked the front desk who was supposed to clean it up and she was clueless and told us we could take a golfcart down and get it ourselves. Luckily, it didn’t rain that night or literally ALL of our ceremony decorations (including a cord of three strands we tied) would have been ruined. Everything was still setup as it had been the day before down there. And to top it all off, several of our centerpieces and decor from the reception is missing. Two of which were from our head table and sweetheart table which we would have kept. I’m assuming they were stolen. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!
From the first day touring and everything in between Lakeview was a huge help in handling all the important details to make sure the day of ran smooth. I live out of state from this venue and can honestly say I felt comfort in their hands. !! Everything was in one location and they were very accommodating to my needs and wants for my dream wedding!
Lakeview was the only place we looked at for a wedding venue and it was the best choice. My husband and I are actually from Pa and wanted to do a close destination wedding. We went with all their recommended vendors and they all were great. I loved the fact that they did the wedding set up and supplied basic linens, centerpieces, tables and all the things that can really increase the wedding costs . The food was great and the staff was amazing! We also got to take advantage of the golf course, the lake, pool and restaurants nearby during our little mini wedding vacation. Great location!! Lakeview was perfect and made our wedding process stressful! I wouldn’t have changed a thing.
I had a hard time deciding on a venue. Now that the wedding is done and over with I have no regrets with choosing Lakeview! Rachel was very helpful every step of the way. She responds very quickly to emails and did everything I asked. The staff at Lakeview could not have been more accommodating either. I was a little nervous to have my wedding at Lakeview because, I thought it was a little run down but, everything was beautiful and the rooms were better than I expected. Yes, this resort could use some TLC but it was clean and the staff was very accommodating.
I had my wedding in May it couldn’t have went more perfect than it did. Rachel is amazing to work with. The food was awesome we did a dual plate option of a steak and chicken and every one of my guest complimented the food. They set up for you and clean up for you my guests and vendors loved my venue I highly recommend Lakeview
Booking with lakeview was the best decision i made... next to saying yes to my enagagement! Rachel and her assistant literally went above and beyond for me and my husband days before and the day of the wedding. I literally thought my wedding would be so plain and bland because my husband and I chose to not go over board with decoration expenditures, but when I walked in to my hall the day of the wedding i was speechless. It was beautiful and even more than I could had imagined. They went above and beyond everything I could have asked for. I only truly had one stressor for my whole wedding.... and Rachel took that away from me. Wouldn’t even dare let me think about dealing with it. I have to admit I’m a little bit of a control freak and was nervous about not setting up my own hall.. but in the end I was so glad bc it was perfect and more than I could dream of. Rachel was amazing! I know most brides and grooms never want to throw another wedding after they have theirs but my experience with Rachel and lakeview I would do it again in a heartbeat (with my husband of course lol).
We had an amazing ceremony and reception at Lakeview. Our original planned left a couple months prior to the wedding— but she was great and got us off to the right start. Rachel picked up where she left off and was super helpful through the entire thing. Ceremony was supposed to be outside at the gazebo, due to weather we had to move it inside. She catered to us the entire day! From the rehearsal, to getting ready (and bringing us duct tape), making sure the ceremony and reception went perfectly, to making sure our room was ready and gathering everything the following morning. Not only was Rachel helpful, but the entire staff all day made sure we were taken care of.
Jeremy and I can’t thank you enough!
Everything at Lakeview was more perfect than we could have imagined. When we started planning, Lauren B assisted us, naturally when she left months before our wedding we were nervous, but Rachel B picked up right where she left out. I told them my visions and they did all the work for me to make my wedding dreams come true. They pay great attention to detail, take care of your every need, and make you feel so special on your big day!
We recently had our wedding at Lakeview Resort, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Rachel was amazing to work with and made the whole process from planning to day of coordination as smooth as possible.
My wedding at Lakeview was an amazing day to remember! I absolutely could not have planned and orchestrated this whole day alone, which is why I was so excited to have my wedding planner, Rachel. She was there through the whole process and I contacted her about every detail. I tend to let myself stress out about the small things, so on the day of our wedding, I decided to sit back and leave it in Rachel’s hands and I’m so glad she was there. She and her staff took care of absolutely everything so that my only worry was how good my new Hubby was going to look in his tux. During the cocktail hour and reception, all of the staff members made sure we had everything we needed and that we were comfortable. They kept everything stocked up and running smoothly and I got to party the night away without a worry. Even though our day was overcast and chilly, it was the most perfect day ever and I have Lakeview to thank for that. Also, Ben McMillian did an AMAZING job with our photography and Paul McGrady made the dance floor rock all night long. The day went on without a hitch and I have perfect memories to last me a lifetime
My wife and I had our wedding here in September and felt so welcomed and safe starting day one. Rachel did a great job stepping in for the position and everything came together beautifully. It truly felt like all the staff at Lakeview were a part of the day and that they knew exactly who you were (which made it easy to ask anyone questions and to get the help you needed). I know they all do weddings all the time, so it's extra impressive to me that they all seemed so excited for us. It didn't feel fake or forced. I hope more same sex couples can rest assured that this is a safe place for them to get married and celebrate their love! Thanks for everything!
My husband and I had our wedding at Lakeview earlier in October, and thanks to Rachel and her staff, it was wonderful! We had our ceremony at the 10th golf tee and our reception was in the Reflections on the Lake Ballroom... it was gorgeous! Everything was decorated beautifully and well organized. And the food was delicious! Thank you so much for making our big day extra special!
My son and his beautiful bride were married at Lakeview in July. It was nothing short of perfect...better than we could have imagined...all because of Rachel and her staff. The setting was beautiful...the food (both rehearsal and reception) was fantastic! Our guests could not stop talking about it. But more than anything, Rachel, Lauren,and the Lakeview staff provided a professional personal touch to the entire process and attended to every detail....from the early planning until the party ended. Thank you Lakeview and Rachel for making the weekend so memorable.
My husband and I had our wedding at Lakeview earlier this month and it was absolutely amazing! Rachel was our wedding coordinator and the day of the wedding I was stunned at how beautiful she put everything together. I had a certain vision of how my wedding would look and Rachel and the Lakeview team went beyond that to make sure everything was perfect! Lakeview went above and beyond to make sure our special day was everything perfect! We also had our rehearsal dinner at Lakeview and the food for dinner as well as our wedding day was delicious! So many guest have complimented our wedding! Lakeview truly gave us our dream wedding.
We absolutely loved our wedding at Lakeview this past December. They were very easy to work with, the golf course has lots of great places to take photos, and everything was very customizable. One thing that made us feel comfortable choosing Lakeview as our venue was the fact that we were assigned a wedding coordinator who was there to help us plan, answer all of our questions, and would be there the day of the wedding. We learned about a month before our wedding that our previous wedding coordinator had left, and that’s when Lauren reached out to let us know she’d be taking care of us and making sure our day would be perfect. Lauren set up a meeting with us right away to get caught up on everything we had discussed with the previous wedding coordinator and to help us finalize our plans. She made sure to cover every last detail and was able to answer all of our questions, putting all of my nerves at ease. She assured me she would be on site the entire day to handle set-up, decorating, give direction to my vendors, guide us around the property to take photos, help my bridal party down the aisle, and make sure we stayed on schedule. During the rehearsal and the day of the wedding, Lauren was amazing and made us feel so comfortable that everything was taken care of and going according to plan. If a problem came up, she handled it calmly and resolved it immediately. She had no problem driving us around on a golf cart to take photos outside in the middle of December, or stand in the wind to hold my veil out for the perfect picture. As I was about to walk out to meet my husband for our first look, my heavy earring kept falling off due to a loose earring-back. Without a second thought she took the back off of her own earring and gave it to me. I greatly appreciated her and everything she did for us. The food was good and just as we expected, the staff made sure everything was set up exactly how we wanted it, and all of their vendor recommendations turned out to be great. We loved the suite that they provided for us to get ready in, and we loved that they had champagne and chocolates waiting for us in our room after our wedding. Our guests also really loved that the ceremony, reception, after party, and hotel were all in one place. The only complaint I had was that we knew Legends (the bar and restaurant on site) kitchen would close before our wedding was over, so our previous wedding coordinator spoke with the manager ahead of time and told us that they had agreed to keep the kitchen open for the large amount of people we planned to bring. Unfortunately, that did not happen and we were not able to order any late night food, which was minor compared to how wonderful the rest of our day was. Our wedding day was truly fantastic and I would definitely recommend Lakeview!
We just had our wedding at Lakeview in March 2018 and it was so perfect, thanks to all our vendors! I worked with Rachel at Lakeview and she was so accommodating and a complete pleasure to work with! Rachel had given my MOH her phone number the day of in case we needed anything, and I never felt the need to call anyone and was SO calm all day because I just knew that Rachel and her team would handle everything for me. My sisters who had extremely fancy weddings in big cities were even impressed with how smoothly Lakeview handled everything!
Lakeview was the only reception venue that I even looked at or considered when I first became engaged. They lived up to their reputation, and our night was magical thanks to their help. Not only is Lauren and Rachel wonderful at their jobs, but the entire staff at Lakeview is so friendly, accomadating, and interactive with the guests to assure everyone is having a wonderful time! I will say, I was a very particular bride. I had a vision of how I wanted every detail to be, and with my aunts artistic touch-we made all of our decor ourselves. At times, I worried if the staff would be able to set up everything as I envisioned it in my head, but to my surprise-IT WAS FLAWLESS! I walked into a breathtaking reception which was everything I imagined and MORE! It's safe to say, even when times get crazy throughout your planning, you can count on the staff at Lakeview to give you too-notch service! I'm so happy I was a Lakeview Bride.
Lauren is absolutely amazing! she pays attention to detail and is accepting and encouraging of all ideas, but is able to offer opinion respectfully. You can tell that she truly cares about her job and each wedding that she coordinates. Everyone that helped her were extremely helpful as well. Even during confusion at our reception when some of the other vendors had a mix up, Lauren and her team made sure everything went smoothly. My only advice would be to use vendors from their "preferred vendors" list so that confusion does not happen at all. I Learned that those vendors were on the preferred list for a reason! All in all, the planning process was as stress free as it could be, staff at Lakeview were very approachable and answered all questions, wedding packages were flexible, and prices were communicated clearly- there were no "surprise!" charges. I would definitely recommend.
Lakeview was beyond the perfect place to have a wedding. We had both our ceremony and reception there. The library was a cozy, intimate space for a ceremony, while Reflections on the Lake had plenty of space for dancing and food; not to mention the ah-mazing views. On top of excellent deals, they have a staff that is able to work with you every step of the way. Originally we started with Jillian Swartz, who was very positive and open and easy to communicate with. Jillian had to step down, though, about a month till our wedding to pursue her own dreams so we then met with Jolene. Jolene was a lifesaver. She was open, easy to communicate with, and did everything in her power to make sure we were on the same page and that everything went according to plan. She helped store things, provided a room for us to get ready in, and even gave out her personal cell phone number in case I needed to get into contact with her immediately. Jolene and Lakeview helped bring my wedding to life and made it better than I could ever imagine.
We couldn't have picked a better venue! Our wedding coordinator knew exactly what she was doing and made getting married so simple.
LakeView made my day go so smoothly! I didn't have to worry about a thing- Lauren was a gem throughout the entire planning experience and the day itself! It was a dream :)
My husband & I had our wedding a Lakeview Golf Resort & Spa back in May of this year & we had the BEST experience. Jillian was our wedding specialist, but Lauren, the other specialist had no problem stepping in & helping us when Jillian was out of the office. They are a great team! As a bride, I was constantly worried that we weren't going to get things done, or that I was forgetting something (especially on the day of our wedding) - but with the girls at Lakeview, we had the BEST, most organized day we could've hoped for. I literally didn't have to worry about anything. Jillian does not disappoint when it comes to making sure her brides are well taken care of. I cannot put into words how thankful we are that she handled our wedding, everything was absolutely perfect :) Our guests loved the outdoor venue on the 10th tee of the golf course - there was plenty of shade & everyone was comfortable! Everyone loved the food at our wedding as well! The staff at Lakeview was SO accomodating to all of our needs. Our wedding was an absolute dream for us. If you are looking for an all inclusive venue, Lakeview is the place to go!
I highly recommend Lauren and the wedding team at Lakeview Golf Resort & Spa! We held our reception in the Chestnut Ridge Ballroom, which has an amazing deck overlooking the lake! The girls and I got ready in the Governor's Suite, which was an excellent location for some pre-wedding photo-ops. Although there were two other weddings happening at the same time, you would never know it. There was always a staff member available to answer any questions or address any issues. Our guests had the best time and several ranked our wedding in their top 3 (which included their own, of course)! Lauren made sure every detail was perfect, even texting me pictures while I was getting my hair and makeup done. I can't say enough good things about her and the entire planning process with Lakeview!
Lakeview was an amazing place for our destination wedding and reception! Lauren brought everything together and created a beautiful ceremony and reception! We had very unexpected weather (tornadoes) and a loss of electricity for three hours, but Lakeview staff did not miss a beat! Our food, cake, bar service, and entertainment were AMAZING! Our guests said it was the best wedding and reception they have ever attended!
Our wedding at Lakeview was absolutely perfect. Our ceremony was held in the Library and the reception was in the Reflections on the Lake Ballroom. Everything was beautiful, and the entire event was first class. Jillian was our wedding planner, and she is AMAZING! She made the entire planning process easy and fun. She thought of EVERYTHING, and was incredibly helpful on the day of the wedding. She also accommodated all of our special requests without batting an eye. Our wedding day was a blast, stress-free, and amazing. That is thanks to the wonderful setting and wonderful people at Lakeview.
Lakeview was the perfect place for our wedding! I can not thank Jillian enough for all that she did and helped with to make our special day perfect. Everyone at Lakeview was very accommodating and helping in every way, and they all did it with a courteous smile! Jillian helped us think of things we never would have considered as she worked with us in planning our wedding. Would definitely recommend to any couple getting married in the Morgantown area - everything was spectacular!
Lakeview was amazing! We would not have been able to have a more perfect wedding if it weren't for Lauren and their wonderful event staff. Lauren was great throughout the whole process and promptly answered all of our questions. Someone was always there to make sure that everything was going smoothly at the wedding and reception so we did not have to worry about anything. Someone also made sure that we had all the drinks or anything we needed throughout the entire event. The food was absolutely delicious! All of our guests enjoyed it. We do wish that our food was left on the table a little longer at the reception! We got full quickly, so we took a break to say hi to some guests and our food was gone before we got back to it. We do also wish that we had been served a slice of our wedding cake or that a piece had been left at our table for us because we had been looking forward to it for months and only got the little bit that we fed to each other when we cut it. Overall though, we could not be happier with how it all turned out. It was truly perfect.
We are very glad we chose Lakeview for our wedding reception venue! Our wedding coordinator, Jillian, did a wonderful job ensuring that our special day went smoothly. We had several meetings and even more emails (all of which she answered happily!) figuring out details of the planning. Jillian made sure our planning was brought to life on our wedding day from decor to coordination of the day's events. Lakeview set up our decor and tore it down after, had beautiful areas to take photos, and allowed our guests to stay on site after our reception. It was a wonderful day and we thank Lakeview and our coordinator, Jillian, for playing such a large role.
I'm so glad we had our wedding at Lake View!! Our wedding specialist, Jillian, did an incredible job and was always so kind despite my countless emails! lol Everything was so beautiful and the staff was so awesome making sure we had everything we needed! Great venue, great food, and great service! We couldn't have asked for better! Thank you so much Lakeview for everything. Our wedding was beautiful and perfect!! 😊👌
From the day we had our initial consultation, to the wee hours of the night that were danced away, Lakeview was absolutely perfect! Lauren and her team at Lakeview were there for us every step of the way! The accommodations, the personal touches, and the hospitality that were given made the planning process and our wedding that much better. Our day could not have been more perfect! The golf course was stunning, the food was delicious, and the staff was very supportive. If you are looking for somewhere that will help you every step of the way, consider Lakeview! Thank you Lauren and Lakeview, from the bottom of our hearts!
We are so happy we got married at Lakeview! Everything was just perfect! Lauren and the Lakeview crew took care of every detail and made our wedding so special. Our planning process was very easy, and Lauren was able to take our vision and make it become real. We would highly recommend Lakeview to other couples planning their wedding!
Lakeview was an excellent venue for our wedding. Our guests were able to stay at the venue, catering is offered as well as a wonderful wedding planner. Our wedding planner, Lauren, was hands down the best thing about Lakeview. She is very sweet, organized and genuine. A real pleasure to work with. I can say I have no regrets about our choice in venues! Good luck to other couples planning their weddings! :)
We had our ceremony and reception at Lakeview. Everything was absolutely perfect. The food was amazing and Lauren Thomas (our wedding specialist) was absolutely incredible throughout our entire planning process. We were so thankful that they handled set up and clean up for both the ceremony and reception. We opted for the 3 hour open bar with call brand liquor. Bartenders and servers were incredibly polite and pleasant. Highly recommend.
My wedding day on May 6, 2017 was amazing thanks to Lauren, Jillian, and the rest of Lakeview Resort Staff!! From the very beginning Lauren helped me through everything and kept me on track with what all I needed to do. Lakeview has wedding vendor showcase events so it was a one stop shop for me to meet all of the cake bakers, DJ's, florist, photographers, etc. Also, many vendors offered specials for attending a Lakeview wedding showcase as well! So booking my vendors was a breeze! I didn't have to worry about a cater since Lakeview has an amazing chef! I booked Ooh La La as my cake baker and everyone is still talking about how great my cake tasted. Anytime I emailed Lauren or Jillian I got a fast response. The day of the wedding Lauren and Jillian made sure everything was running smoothly and I didn't have to worry about anything. Lakeview staff set up my reception and ceremony hall and I got to get ready with my bridesmaids and relax a little before the fun began. Throughout the night all of Lakeview staff made sure I had everything I needed! At the end of the night Lakeview cleans everything up so I could head back to my room and relax. Everyone told me they had a great time! I highly recommend Lakeview Resort for a wedding venue, or for any event, they are great!! Thank you so much Lauren, Jillian, and Lakeview Resort staff!!
Lakeview was perfect! My husband and I were married 4/22/17. From the very beginning Lauren Thomas was our coordinator and she was absolutely wonderful! I could email her at anytime of the day for anything and she would always have a quick response! She solved any problem or question with ease during the wedding planning process. On our wedding weeked Lauren immediately helped with everything from unloaded the car to calming down my nerves! She always knew the right thing to say to make me feel at ease! We had our rehearsal at Lakeview, Lauren ran it smoothly and we had a lovely dinner. On wedding day, Lauren was hard at work making sure everything was perfect! And it was!! We were supposed to have the ceremony at the 10th Tee but it rained that day, so we had it in the Library and the reception in the Reflections on the Lake ballroom. Everything turned out absolutely gorgeous! Lauren did a fantastic job making sure the day was flawless! The service and the food was great, and all of our guests said this was one of the best weddings they have ever been to! Overall Lakeview and Lauren did an amazing job and I would 100% highly recommend them!!

My husband and I got married October 22, 2016. Everything went smoothly. I am a very type A personality and like to have control of the situation. When it came to our wedding, I felt relieved putting the control in Lauren's hands. She was very thorough and helpful when I had questions. The wedding was supposed to be outside but there had been wet weather which caused it to be too cold to be outside. We were lucky enough to move the ceremony to the Library. I was so nervous because I didn't have many decorations because I was counting on the beautiful foliage. Thank goodness for the staff at Lakeview because they made what little I had, go a far way. It was gorgeous and the guests never knew any different.
Lakeview was amazing!!!!!!! I'm super late on this review, but had to share! We were married on October 29, 2016 and I have to say I had not one doubt it would be perfect! We worked with Lauren and if there were ever any worries, she immediately gave us the game plan for how everything would be! They catered to our every need. Our guests RAVED about the food and overall service! A lot of our guests stayed and they all had a blast! Our reception was in the Reflections on the Lake Ballroom and I will say that dropping off all the decorations and seeing how Lauren and the staff brought our vision to life was amazing! We had only one small problem with missing an add on for food, but Lakeview made sure the issue was resolved and we didn't even mind! Everyone is still telling us how beautiful the venue was and what a blast they had! We will never forget our special day and I definitely recommend Lakeview when anyone asks!
LAKEVIEW!!!!!!! All I can say was I was blown away. The professionalism in itself was amazing. Lauren was our wedding specialist and I can truly say that day would not have run as smoothly as it did without her. The level of communication through the process makes you feel confident in the hectic but wonderul day to come. The staff they had working the event were just as professional and amazing. I cant remember how many times I was checked on : ) They make everything so special! All of our guests enjoyed themselves and that wad a huge deal for us. We wanted our friends and family to be comfortable celebrating with us.Of course cost does come into play it is so worth every penny and you get more for you money with Lakeview because of the great people and knowing your day will be everything you dreamed of!!!! 100% 2 thumbs up!!! Thank you so much Lakeview!
I cannot praise the team at Lakeview enough! Jillian, our wedding coordinator was always quick to answer my endless questions and reassure me about anything and everything. The day of our wedding (March 18th), she checked in on me several times before the actual ceremony, making sure I had everything that I needed (including a mimosa), she made sure that the ceremony went on flawlessly and then followed myself and the groom around providing us with drinks and a helping hand throughout the whole picture taking process. Even after she left for the night, the rest of the staff made sure that anything and everything was taken care of, including leaving a bottle of sparkling wine and a plate of fruit in our bridal suite. If you are looking for top-notch service and a great location with a wonderful staff, look no further than Lakeview!
If you're looking for a stress-free, beautiful wedding venue, lakeview is the perfect place! They took care of everything the day of the wedding including setting up decorations just how I wanted them and took all of the gifts to our room afterwards. We worked with Jillian for about a year and she was always right there to answer all of my many questions. She was always sweet and had great suggestions. The food was also great and the macaroni martini bar was was a huge hit! The staff were all very nice and accommodating! It made for the perfect wedding!
Lakeview is an excellent choice for a wedding reception venue! We had our reception in the Reflections Ballroom in September and the view was absolutely beautiful! We worked with Lauren Thomas and she did an amazing job! She was very helpful and easy to work with. The day of the wedding went perfectly and everything was exactly what we wanted!
Our wedding was on Saturday, October 15, 2016 and it was a perfect day for us! We booked in the Chestnut ballroom for our reception and it was a beautiful backdrop to our special day. Lauren was endlessly positive no matter how many questions I had during the planning process and her and her coworker Jillian were always quick to respond. The ballroom was a beautiful backdrop for our big night and we continue to receive compliments about the venue, delicious food, and friendly efficient service from the bartenders. We were so happy to have chosen a venue that took care of the little details for us, accommodated our guest list, and had different package options to meet our budget needs. Lauren, Jillian, Toni, Steve, and Keegan were wonderful allies during my planning process and ensured that our planning process was stress free. They made sure that our wedding night was seamlessly flawless and we hope that our guests will remember to book with Lakeview in their future trips to Morgantown. There were other events going on the night of our wedding, but we were none the wiser with the privacy our ballroom offered. We will cherish the memories of our wedding day for years to come and are so grateful to the Lakeview staff for playing their big part in that!
Thanks to the staff here, especially Lauren, not a single thing went wrong and everything turned out beautifully. The food was fantastic as well as the options to choose from. My guests loved that everything was in one location, the ceremony, the reception, and the hotel. Our bartender was fantastic. I cannot say anything negative about this place at all. The price and packages will fit any budget. I literally cannot say enough positive things about Lakeview!! Do not hesitate on this place!!!!
I had my wedding at lake view in September. Overall, the whole thing went fine. Everyone had fun but there definable could've been improvements. First, there was one waitress working our reception dinner at their restaurant for about 30 people. Therefore, food never came, several were over-cooked, some were finishing up dinner when others hadn't even received anything at all. Next, my program board never made it to my ceremony outside, then after the ceremony we were not allowed to take photos at the gazebo decorated because they were stripping our decorations to set up for the next wedding (my ceremony wasn't unusually long or anything). I had a cute sign and Chinese lantern that I was excited to let off at dusk to make for cute photos.. I kept asking where they were and they were no where to be seen.. finally the girl in charge left and found them somewhere in the building at which point it was beyond dark.. we still let them off but was just a little disappointed.. when we went to pick up our decorations the next day in someone's office it appeared they were just thrown in the rooms and some of the decorations were never found.
Such a great experience. Lakeview is a little pricey but for what you get it's worth it. Our food was absolutely delicious and the convienence of not having to decorate and clean up was so relieving. I would 100% recommend lakeview for any event!!
Lakeview was so wonderful! Beautiful venue, great food, and amazing staff. My wedding was as stress free as possible and turned out even better than I could have imagined
April 30th was a special day and All was made possible by Lauren Thomas and the staff at the Lakeview. From the time we arrived until our event was completed it was Awesome. We could not ask for more helpful people and always trying their best to help. It was very comfortable. Seem Like they were part of our event, family.
Our Daughter's Fairytale Wedding (April 30, 2016)
A year and a half ago our daughter and her fiancé decided to have a "destination" wedding at Lakeview Golf Resort located on Cheat Lake near Morgantown, WV. They were both graduates of WVU and the area held a special place in their hearts. Having already coordinated a destination wedding for our oldest daughter only ten months earlier, we were a little overwhelmed to plan another.
We planned a visit to Lakeview and met with Lauren Thomas, the resort's wedding coordinator. Lauren immediately made us feel at ease. She answered all of our questions, was extremely accommodating, and our favorite answer was, "I'll take care of that, you need to enjoy the day"! She was right. From the front desk staff to the reception servers we could not have been more pleased. The wedding space, the food, and the accommodations were exceptional. All of our guest were able to stay on site. The bridal party had hair, makeup, and mani/ pedi's at the nearby salon,spa. The groomsmen and friends enjoyed golf at the onsite golf courses.
The rehearsal dinner was held onsite as well as the ceremony and reception. Guests were also treated to a Sunday morning breakfast. Lauren and the Lakeview staff coordinated everything. We did,indeed, "enjoy the day" as well as the weekend.
Thank you Lauren for making our daughter's wedding weekend memorable for all who attended. As John Denver sang, "Almost Heaven, West Virginia"!!

Lakeview was the most incredible experience, I couldn't have asked for better wedding coordinators! Lauren and Jillian went above and beyond my expectations and are solely to thank for my day being perfect.
We had both our ceremony and reception at lakeview and they both were amazing! Lauren and the staff were very helpful and accomidating. She was there for any questions we had through the planning process. Everything was so beautiful thanks to Lakeview and our chosen vendors!
Lakeview was the best choice in terms of venues. The grounds are beautiful, the food is delicious, and the staff is extremely dedicated to making your wedding a success. They worked with every request I had (and I had quite a lot). Jillian and Lauren are fantastic wedding specialists. They are so nice, smart, and always kept the line of communication open. The price is very fair for everything they offer: venue, set-up, tear-down, food, cake, drink. Lakeview was one of the best decisions I made about my wedding (besides, you know, the groom). :)
Lauren, our wedding planner, was amazing! The banquet room was perfect and everything was in order so I did not have to worry. We had the Honor Guard at our wedding and it was coordinated perfectly. Completely worth the cost!
Super professional. The wedding was an absolute gorgeous event! The staff and coordinators are top notch! I would highly recommend having a wedding at Lakeview Golf are sort and Spa.
Lakeview is amazing!!! Lauren Thomas helped my husband and I with our wedding there. She is AMAZING!!! I would email her at any hour of the day and night and always get a fast response. She is so helpful and creative with details and kept me sane on the wedding day. She truly helped make our day special with decorating and doing anything I needed to make sure our day was perfect. I highly recommend Lauren and Lakeview for your wedding! Lakeview itself is a beautiful venue. I was married in the Library and the Reflections on the Lake ballroom. It was gorgeous!! The staff is fabulous and friendly. They decorated the venue for me and it was stunning. I could not have been more happy with how it turned out. The service was wonderful, they were on their A-game all evening making sure all went smoothly and taking care of anything that needed done. A glass was broken on the dance floor and before I could turn around to find someone they were already out cleaning it up. The food was absolutely delicious and you got a ton! Overall an amazing, A++ experience at Lakeview!!
Everything the day of our wedding was above and beyond what we expected! The staff were wonderful, Jillian (our wedding coordinator) was amazing and the venue was gorgeous! If you're looking for a place to have a reception and a stress free day, this is the place!
Booked Lakeview for my wedding night because it was close to the reception venue. I stated that it was going to be the wedding night when booking but just asked for a king bed with nothing fancy as to not add cost. When we entered the room that they gave it sure was nothing fancy. There wasn't even a bed. The king bed was a pull out from the wall. Also very disappointed that there is no late night food options. We arrived shortly after 10 and there was no where to eat on property and no place that delivers.
Lakeview did an amazing job!!! Lauren our wedding planner was wonderful!! She prepared everything and took care of all details just the way I wanted them!!! The location was perfect for our ceremony and reception as it was an easy transition from one to the other!!! All of the staff was welcoming and helpful!! The day was so perfect and I couldn't be happier!!! I would highly recommend this location for any future bride!!!
Blair and Brandon Burns chose Lakeview Resort and Spa for their wedding and we couldn't be happier! From the first visit with wedding planner, Lauren Thomas, to the end of the reception, everything was perfect. The wedding outside on the golf course and the Reflections Room for the reception, provided the magical background for my Princess and her Prince Charming. All the guests are very complimentary, with one guest commenting on how Lakeview was 'more beautiful than Oakmont!'
We chose to use preferred vendors, which made the planning so much easier. Zia Flowers, Tim Ray Photography, Ooh-la-la bakery, and Alex O'Neil have all worked with Lakeview to coordinate efforts and With Lauren's help, we planned the entire wedding and details in less than 6 months! Attention to detail can make or break an event, and Lauren and all the Lakeview staff wen above and beyond to make the day perfect. We have not heard one negative comment- not one! And friends and family are still taking about how perfect the wedding was. It was a perfect day (no rain!), thanks to Lauren and the Lakeview staff. We truly cannot thank you enough for a job well done!
