We got married here and it could have not been a better day. It was truly the best day ever. Everything was so seamless, no stress whatsoever. Suzie and Emily were the dream team! The entire staff at Great River was amazing, so helpful, and kind. The food was delicious. All of our guests loved the venue. The French fry bar at the end of the night was a hit! From the first meeting, to the day after picking up our wedding supplies, everything was so easy and seamless. The staff at Great River decorated and set everything up with no questions asked on our side! We had complete faith that they would set everything up perfectly and they did. The food tasting was also amazing! It was so fun meeting with Chef Matt. We even did the custom chocolates for our favor and they were the perfect touch. Thank you to everyone at Great River for making our special day, that much more special. It was the most perfect day.

  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Tucked into the quiet shores of Lake Zoar in Monroe, Connecticut, the Waterview boasts an award-winning reputation for excellence and elegance in a very private setting. Our very private and meticulously landscaped facility is nestled between two distinctly romantic gardens, and comprises two private ballrooms for pampering guests.

Venue considerations

  • No in-house lighting and sound packages available
  • No on-premises lodging options
  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
This venue was truly the best bridal friendly venue we found. From the moment we saw the venue we knew this was the place, it’s scenic beauty, openness, and seclusion was exactly what we were looking for. The Waterview staff confirmed our initial thoughts, as they were super friendly and pleasant. It was refreshing to have venue that displayed and delivered honest and transparent packages about what we can expect and what they would deliver. They never tried to upsell things we didn’t need or want, rather they listened to our vision and made it happen. Zuleika was our coordinator, and we couldn’t be any more grateful for her commitment and thoughtfulness to ensure our wedding was spectacular. During the process of planning (our numerous calls, emails, indecisiveness/uncertainty), we felt catered to as if we were the only wedding party Zuleika was taking care of. Zuleika and her team, never disappointed us but instead reassured us and kept the bride (me) calm. The level of attentiveness we received was consistent throughout the process, from day 1 we were assured we’d be able to integrate and enjoy our favorite Jamaican restaurant’s cuisine into our cocktail hour, to making sure the details of my vision/decor for the ceremony and reception we’re carried out, to ensuring we captured the sparkler send off before our photographer’s contract time ended. Right before the ceremony, a minor detail was out of place and Zuleika made sure it was corrected prior to the start of the ceremony. In addition, they worked with us to setup and break down decor items and it was neatly packed for next day pickup. By far, we were beyond blessed to have the Waterview as the venue our wedding. While there are a lot of venues out there, the Waterview is truly a top notice venue that’s easy to work with and has the best staff. Our guests (200) have not stopped talking about our wedding. Our guest traveled from near and far (Canada, Florida, Jamaica, New York, Seattle, Houston) and raved about the beautiful views (lake and garden views), the food selection(s)/quality/taste, and staff’s genuine interest to ensure all guest were comfortable. Zuleika and her team even opened up the inside venue to several guests who arrived extra early so they didn’t wait outside in the heat. The natural beauty of the venue sitting on the water of Lake Zoar combined with the inside elegant charm is unmatched. Their ability to manage larger weddings seamlessly is phenomenal. The WATERVIEW is “THE PLACE!” A huge thank you The Waterview, Zuleika, and the whole Waterview staff team!

The coordinators were wonderful in helping us set up and organize everything. If I had one piece of constructive feedback, it would just be that the head coordinator, Lindsay, was sometimes tricky to get in contact with via telephone for things like making our deposit and final payment for the venue.

The venue had a few hiccups, but overall we had a lovely reception there. The outdoor space was the highlight - truly gorgeous for photos. Communication on coordination was a bit spotty at times, but the maître d', Sergio, was a god send and stepped in to ensure things flowed smoothly. The food was phenomenal, as well! So many of our guests shared it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. We did have both our bridal attendants provided by the venue disappear on us shortly after we arrived, which was inconvenient since we would have paid for our own attendants if we knew that would be the case. While parts of the indoor space is dated, it worked out beautifully with some creative decor. When weighing everything in, the Woodwinds was a spectacular venue!

We had the most magical experience at Bill Millers Castle. They made the day everything we could have dreamed and more. Every detail was perfect, the food was phenomenal, and they scheduled everything to run smoothly without making us feel like we were stuck to a schedule. We were able to relax and enjoy the day without worry that something was not done or would not be ready. We had every one of our guests tell us it was the best wedding they have ever been too. (and as we are not a young couple most of them have been to a lot of wedding's). Not only was the experience of the day the most amazing, the planning and communication leading up to the day was phenomenal. Victoria was very easy to reach, answered all of our questions, and helped guide us through the process always having tips for us to make sure we got what we wanted. Thank you to Bill Millers Castle for the most amazing day.

As a wedding photographer, The Barns is one of my favorite venues to photograph weddings at. The grounds are beautiful, and always make for print-worthy wedding photos. I always feel like I have plenty of options for backgrounds between the pond and weeping willow trees. And then the inside of the venue is just as picturesque. The contrast of the dark wood interior with the brightness of string lighting makes for dreamy reception photos, and works well with my bright and bold editing style.

Weeks later, we're still absolutely gushing over the Mansion! It was the perfect venue for our wedding. They had it all, from phenomenal staff to luxurious facilities, not to mention the stunning views. We had the pleasure of working with Alexandra(Alex) we could not have asked for a better person! Alex knew all of our family members and bridal party’s names, and was extremely personable. She went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of all night. She brought me a snack before the ceremony and continuously brought me my water all day and night (without me asking)They truly make you feel like a VIP throughout your entire day and their top notch team(along with our caterer David Alan) ensured that everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. In the early stages of planning we worked with Jessica Hess and she is extremely helpful and communicative. The mansion truly felt like home for the day. We hosted our ceremony on the vista , cocktail hour was on the terrace, and we had dinner in the East ballroom. Guests were in awe of the estate (we also lucked out with absolutely perfect weather), and how every detail was perfectly executed. Our special day was truly a dream and felt like it was out of a movie! We could not recommend the Wadsworth Mansion enough, and can't wait to return for future celebrations. It's definitely well-worth the investment and would 10/10 recommend hosting your special day here!
