    The Waterview was an absolutely fantastic venue for our wedding! From the very beginning, their team was incredibly timely and enthusiastic about our ideas for the big day. We loved the beautiful garden room and the East Garden ceremony space! The staff went above and beyond to make all of our visions a reality, and we were so impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail. Our guests raved about the stunning venue and delicious food. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our marriage, and we highly recommend The Waterview to any couples looking for a truly special wedding experience.

    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.

    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!
