It was so peaceful during the ceremony with a gentle breeze off the water and I have no regrets regarding my venue choice. This place is super elegant and made my wedding dreams come to life! All of the way staff was super kind to guests and took care of their needs. I couldn't be more thankful and grateful for this experience on the best day of my life. Thanks again!

Guests were so impressed that the 2 bartenders were able to handle the entire group with no lines. The Waterview truly lives up to their years of positive reviews!

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 alre...
ady 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!

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!

(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 don’t 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 didn’t like it. Not a huge deal but a small detail that shouldn’t 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.

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. Their attention to detail and level of service is completely unrivaled. You will not regret getting married here!

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.

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 "décor 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.

p 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!

date and complete our contract (and got a bottle of champagne, yay!). And Colin was our wedding coordinator. Colin was seriously the absolute best. I have an uncle that has religious based dietary restrictions that are pretty intense, and he worked with the chef to create a special Indian dish just for him. Any questions or concerns that I had leading up to the event were addressed quickly and efficiently. He worked with all of our vendors on the day of - I received not one call or text with any issue, which is exactly what you want on your wedding day! Just to paint a picture here, the moment I stepped off of the bus on our wedding day he was waiting with our two bridal attendants (Joe and Angela) and they immediately took my dress and all the things I had to carry to the bridal suite. They all made sure that we had every single thing that we needed while we were getting ready for the ceremony (including getting my brother in law who was upstairs something to eat!), and checked in often to make sure everyone was taken care of. I was delighted to see that all of the favors, picture frames, table cards, etc were exactly where they needed to be when they needed to be there. During the reception all three were always around to make sure that we had anything we needed, Colin actually helped bustle my dress! I really cannot say enough about how wonderful the venue and the staff are. The food was excellent, and we were treated like royalty the entire time. Thank you so much for making our day so special, we love you guys!

ho we worked with first on booking our date and getting all things started, she is so great! Friendly, helpful, attentive and made sure we had all the information we needed. The Waterview does "showcases" for booked brides and grooms where you get to taste all the food and see what different stations are like, when we went Joanna sought us out to say hello and talk with us for a while! As we got closer to our date we were assigned to Colin as our wedding coordinator. Thank god for Colin! :) He is calm, friendly, helpful and just down right really good at what he does! I must have emailed him a hundred times leading up to the wedding with questions, he always got back to me in a timely manner and always had an answer or solution for me! When we arrived the day of our wedding, he was waiting for us with champagne and quickly jumped into bustling my dress for me so I could get into cocktail hour! Throughout the night he was everywhere! Checking in on us, my parents, our guests, making sure everyone had what they needed. Truly, a rockstar! The service from the entire staff was wonderful, so attentive and helpful to all of our guests. The food was also amazing! We ended up adding many stations to cocktail hour, dessert and late night, and it was so worth it! Our guests are still raving about how great it all was and all those little touches really made the night! We are so happy with how everything went, thank you to all who made it happen at The Waterview! If you choose this venue, I promise it will not disappoint!

we could ask for. He was incredibly responsive to email, creative, attentive to detail, and got our vision within a few short meetings. His total control of the day really helped us to relax and enjoy it. Everyone that we came in contact with was very professional, very customer service oriented, and really seemed to enjoy their job. A few amazing surprises that grabbed my attention: Our bridal party was met with champagne flutes at the limo! They re-used my church pew bows and live plants to decorate the space (beautifully and autonomously, I might add)! They had a sewing kit on site to help when my bustle wouldn't stay! They knew my groom & I didn't eat and sent us home with a care package! I could say so many more wonderful things about them, but I will just let you find that out for yourself. We couldn't be happier with how the day turned out, and the Waterview was the perfect choice for us. I highly recommend that you consider them for your wedding.

and the staff responsive to our needs prior to the wedding during the planning process, the day of the wedding was simply magical. Colin made sure from the minute, I ( the bride) arrived that my bridal suite and everything would be all set up and meet and exceed all of our expectations. Right before the wedding, our bridal assistant Jason was amazing and made sure that we were all set and ready to go. The ceremony was perfect and ran incredibly smoothly. From the minute we walked down the aisle as a newly married couple, Colin was at the end of the aisle with a tray of champagne to hand out to the bridal party. It was such a sweet and genuine gesture. Colin was amazing, I cannot put into words how fantastic our day ran because of him and the staff at the Waterview. He made sure that we had all the cocktail hour appetizers and drinks brought outside to the bridal party taking pictures. He made sure that we had our drinks full and our plates full ( even though I- the bride- could hardly eat with all of the overwhelming love the day brought). If there was something wrong that day, we had NO idea because everything was perfect. We, alongside our families, are eternally grateful and appreciative of the Waterview and the entire staff especially Colin for making our day so perfect and special. It has been almost a month and a half since our wedding and people are still talking about how amazing the food, the room, the ceremony and the desserts were! ( Helpful Bride Tip: GET the Viennese table, it was to die for and the guests couldn't have enough!) This is the place to get married or have any large event.

k of everything possible the months prior to the wedding in order to ensure we had nothing to worry about the day of the wedding. Colin went above and beyond to specialize the wedding for us which truly meant the world to us. In addition, I was truly impressed with how he approached me (the bride) with the possible rain situation that was looking to occur during the wedding. He asked me what I wanted inside or out even if it was lightly raining and was tracking the radar up until the last hour to see exactly what we should do. At one point they had both options ready to go with a game time decision on how the weather was going to hold up. Luckily everything worked out and the rain waited till after the ceremony, but I was truly grateful on how I was approached on this topic as it could have been very overwhelming with the wrong approach. In addition to Colin, the day of the wedding we had Jason and Angela also helping us out and wow were they good. My dad's suit button ended up falling out and Jason was there with a needle and thread to fix it back to normal. While Angela was amazing making sure at every moment I had everything I could have needed through the night. Overall, I couldn't be happier with our decision to have the wedding at the Waterview. The Waterview is a beautiful venue with an amazing staff and would recommend this place without a doubt!
