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!

We had our daughter's wedding reception in October at the Patterson Club and I can't say enough about how wonderful it was. From start to finish the entire experience was terrific. Lindsey and Louise were amazing! They made our daughter's dream wedding a reality by listening to our ideas and offering suggestions based on their extensive experience. They were personable, professional and super easy to work with. The end result was a flawlessly executed reception with outstanding food and service. They guided us through menu planning, including tastings of hors-d'oeuvres, entrees and wine selections-no worries about people leaving hungry as portions were generous. Our guests were so impressed with the quality of the food, the friendliness and professionalism of the staff and the overall beauty of the venue. As the mother of the bride I am so grateful to The Patterson club for how easy they made the planning process for us; we were able to thoroughly enjoy the entire event without a worry, knowing all the details were being attended to. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Patterson club to anyone looking for a top notch wedding experience!
