The Basilica is a one-of-a-kind space. If you are trying to avoid having a cookie-cutter wedding, this is the place for you. The staff has seen this venue set up in MANY different ways and can make anything you imagine come to life. I was really worried about being able to turn a blank space into my dream night but they made it happen easily. I'll never forget the feeling of seeing it all set up for the first time. The best part is that there are zero time restrictions on the space. Which for us, meant an after-party until 3am :)

My husband and I got married at the Waterview on 9/2/23. From the moment we stepped foot into the Waterview on our tour, we knew we had to get married here and it was without a doubt the best choice we could make for our wedding. From pre planning to the day, the staff was kind, attentive, and organized. We felt very well taken care of and our day ran so smoothly thanks to our event coordinator, Zuleika. They take care of so many details for us and decreased wedding planning stress by 10 fold. Not to mention the place is stunning and the property is perfectly manicured and photo ready. We are so thankful!! Food was also a 10/10.

We had a beautiful wedding at the greenhouse of the Beardsley Zoo. The GlowWild light festival in the evening simply added to the magic of the event. 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.
