A truly perfect day!

My husband and I were married at The Waterview on 7/12/24. We could not recommend this venue enough! My coordinator, Zuleika, was incredibly kind and flexible throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, she always made sure my husband and I were enjoying our night and had enough food and drinks. My bridal suite was filled with water and snacks, and was even filled with food from cocktail hour when we returned from our ceremony. Amazing service overall.

The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with views of the garden and Lake Zoar. We were married on the West Side, which has more of the garden view, but both sides are beautiful!

We truly cannot thank The Waterview staff enough for the kindness, attention to detail, and overall amazing customer service. You can’t go wrong getting married here.

Amazing Experience (From contracting, day-of, and food!)

From our very first meeting at the Waterview, the entire staff was friendly, engaging, and professional. As a LGBTQ couple, My husband and I knew this would be the right venue for us. They had all of the right facilities, accommodating all of our needs, and flexibility with dates and costing.
The day of the event was seamless with no stress for my husband or I. Our families all enjoyed the Waterview from the ceremony through dinner and dancing. Our coordinator, Kat, was absolutely incredible. She was able to take our vision and make it a reality. We cannot say enough about the staff and facilities. The Garden Room and East room are simply amazing.

Highly recommend the breakfast sandwiches at the end of the night--people are still talking about them!

Zero Regrets

The Waterview team is the BEST. From the start, their number one priority was always making us happy. They were so flexible and worked with everything we asked of them. I had A LOT of questions and our coordinator Kat was always very fast and detailed with her responses.
We had our wedding the week after the terrible storm that hit Monroe. The sinkhole made it impossible to have the ceremony where it was originally intended. At first I was devastated but it ended up being a blessing in disguise. I HIGHLY recommend a ceremony in front of their fountain. I was absolutely blown away by how it was decorated, it felt like a fairytale. Everyone told us how great their food and cake was and we even went home with a bunch of leftovers.
Beyond reasonable pricing, good food, good staff, and a perfect wedding!!!

Amazing venue

My daughter's wedding/reception at The Waterview 2/2024 was amazing! The venue itself is so beautiful. Due to good weather we were even able to take advantage of their gorgeous grounds to take outside pictures. The food was upscale and so delicious. Our guests were so impressed with the quantity and quality of all of the food. All of the staff were very friendly and professional. Kate was our wedding coordinator and she helped us plan a beautiful day. I highly recommend this venue!

The Waterview is “The Place”

The Waterview - What an amazing venue!!

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!

Exceptional

The team was amazing at the Waterview! Kat was particularly excellent and so kind. It rained the morning of the wedding and the outdoor garden flooded. The staff swept the water out to the drain so that we could have it outside. I am so grateful to our wedding planner for finding that venue for us.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
