My new husband and I chose Williams on the Lake as the venue for our wedding ceremony and reception, and we could not have been more thrilled with our choice! We had our wedding in Lakeside South, the larger of the two buildings, and it was absolutely beautiful. The outside patio where we had the ceremony had a lush backdrop of green trees, a vine arbor and a little gazebo. The reception hall had a nice high ceiling with skylights, and a spacious deck looking over the water. We went with the buffet dinner, and we got a huge variety of delicious food. All of my guests loved it! Even the pickiest and hardest-to-impress among our family and friends had rave reviews. The staff was accommodating and friendly, and were very professional without being stuffy or overbearing. We worked with Aly Williams as our coordinator. She was patient and easy to work with, and had lots of great suggestions. My family and I were always happy knowing the wedding was in such able and experienced hands! The price was very reasonable compared to the other venues we looked at, and they won't nickle and dime you with any extra fees like a "cake-cutting" charge. I was worried that planing a wedding would be a crazy, stressful experience, but working with Williams on the Lake made the experience fun and enjoyable! I highly reccomend Williams on the Lake to any newly engaged couples in the Cleveland/Akron area looking for a venue for their wedding.

I'm so glad we had our wedding at Williams on the Lake! The venue is so pretty- I loved being right on the water, and many of our guests took advantage of the patio throughout the night- perfect for a summer wedding! The food was excellent- we had steak and a baked potato bar, and not only did everyone think it was unique, but a lot of people said it was the best wedding food they've ever had! Aly was great to work with throughout the entire process- she answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly and made the planning process easy. She also stayed the entire reception to make sure everything ran smoothly. My husband and I could not have asked for a better reception!
