🇭🇹Boulin Love Wedding🇭🇹

From the moment we stepped foot in the Waterford my husband and I were in awe! We felt a sense of welcome from the smell, to the ambience, to the customer service. Pritesh Gandhi and Arvin Vincoy were OUTSTANDING at making sure we had the wedding of our dreams. With our vision and what this venue had to offer, our wedding weekend was absolutely epic. We loved the spacious cocktail hour hallway, the beautiful courtyard, which we also use during cocktail hour, the huge grand ballroom that easily accommodate our 370 guest, to the outstanding light affects that gave our bride and groom introduction that electrifying touch. Aside from the reception space the hotel accommodations were more than what we could imagine. Winston Griffin II at the front desk was absolutely amazing and kind. We reserved the honeymoon suite and the family suite for that weekend and it was the best decision ever. It was so convenient to have all of our family and friends staying at the hotel connected to the reception space and the customer service was just as great. The Clarion Inn hotel gave us the freedom to reunite with our families and friends we have not seen in years while still being safe and taking proper precautions post a pandemic. They were very welcoming and helpful and we all appreciated them so very much. I highly recommend the Waterford banquet and conference center and the clarion inn hotels. You won’t be disappointed.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
