My wife and I had such a wonderful wedding reception here. It was worth every single penny that was spent in my opinion. Not only were the staff helping us plan the wedding kind and patient, they truly went above and beyond to help us plan out our day. On the day of the wedding, we were able to get ready in the reception before heading over to the church. They provided breakfast, someone to help my wife and I (separately) with whatever we needed, and had the room and space to host all 20+ of us to get ready. 10/10 would recommend.

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Waterloo Village and the incredible people who made our wedding day so special. ❤️ From the very beginning, Diane made such a lasting impression on us. She gave us our first tour of Waterloo, and at a time when we honestly didn’t think having our wedding there was possible, she found a way to make it happen. She believed in our vision and helped make our dream of celebrating at Waterloo a reality. We will always be grateful to her for that. Her kindness and professionalism are unmatched! And then there is Nic. We truly cannot imagine our wedding experience without him. From the beginning of planning through our wedding day, he made us feel completely seen, heard, and understood. He has an incredible ability to anticipate what you need, curate every detail, and bring calm and confidence to the entire experience. He knew what to do even when we didn’t, and always seemed to know exactly when to guide us and when to simply let us lead. When we knew where we wanted to go, he helped us get there and made our vision even better. He is an incredible professional, but even more importantly, he is an exceptionally kind person who became a friend to us. My bridal party kept saying “Nic for President”, we cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about Nic. If 20 stars was an option, he earned it. We also have to give a huge shoutout to the entire Jeffrey Miller Catering (JAM) team. From the beginning, they made us feel like family rather than clients. The warmth and genuine care they showed us made it feel like so much more than a business relationship. And the food was phenomenal! We loved the use of local ingredients, and even our tasting felt like a wedding in itself. Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious everything was. Waterloo Village itself is absolutely breathtaking. Every corner is beautiful, charming, and full of character. The bridal cottage is absolutely adorable and was such a beautiful, cozy, and thoughtful place to begin our wedding day. The loft for the Groom and his friends provided a fun space as well! Every detail throughout the property felt intentional and special. On our wedding day, the Waterloo and JAM teams went above and beyond to make everything seamless. We had a challenging weather day, and everyone responded with incredible kindness, flexibility, professionalism, and care. From providing tons of umbrellas to helping with transportation and constantly checking in on us and our guests, they made sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of. One of the greatest compliments is that our guests kept telling us how wonderful the staff were. We heard again and again how helpful, communicative, attentive, and composed everyone was. Our guests noticed the genuine care just as much as we did. From our very first tour with Diane, through planning with Nic, our tasting with JAM, and our wedding day, we never felt like just another wedding. We felt genuinely cared for, supported, and celebrated. Diane, Nic, and the entire Waterloo and JAM teams — thank you for taking our vision and making it even more beautiful than we imagined. You made an already breathtaking venue feel absolutely perfect for us. And if we ever somehow get the chance to get married again… we would pick Waterloo. Over and over and over again. ❤️ Five stars will never feel like enough. Look not further, schedule the tour. It’s perfect.

Our wedding at Felina was nothing short of amazing! From our very first meeting with Carissa, Felina’s event coordinator, every step of the planning process was seamless, stress-free, and enjoyable. My husband and I knew we wanted to get married at Felina even before we were engaged, but even in our wildest dreams, we couldn’t have imagined what an absolutely perfect day it would turn out to be. We had 80 guests, and the space was perfect for our intimate wedding. The architecture and lighting are stunning, the food is exceptional, and the staff is incredibly kind, detail-oriented, and attentive. We truly can’t say enough wonderful things about Amalia, my bridal attendant, and Riccardo, the maître d’. Along with Carissa, they were the dream team! I think it’s rare for a bride to be able to say that she genuinely wasn’t stressed for a single moment on her wedding day, but thanks to the Felina team, I was able to relax and enjoy every single second. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful the venue was and how incredible the food was. We are so grateful to the entire Felina team for making our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be, and more. We can’t thank you enough and would HIGHLY recommend Felina to anyone considering it for their wedding!

We held our reception at the Maplewood Woman's Club, and it was a perfect venue for us. It's a large open space with beautiful high ceilings, and this allowed us to really create the look we wanted. There were few restrictions, so we were able to bring in all of our rentals (as well as food and alcohol). One thing to note: there is a stage in the space that has curtains. We weren't too bothered by the curtains, and the stage was perfect for our band. There is a decent amount of parking at the venue, and also on the surrounding streets. There is no one on hand to help with wedding planning or coordinating, but that didn't bother us. We were able to bring our caterer one night to look at the space, which was very helpful. Overall, we were very pleased with the venue, the location, and the price!

We used the Colonial Inn for our lodging for family and wedding party, as well as some of our guests. Andrea and the staff were wonderful. All were very helpful. When I realized during my reception that I forgot to check in to my own suite for the night, The Smithville and Colonial Inns worked to make sure I was checked in and had a key. The breakfast baskets were a hit with guests and it was so nice to be able to eat outside with my mom and bridesmaids that morning before getting ready.

Excellent venue, great price and convenience location, beautiful place. The person who help us is very nice, but I little intense in my opinion, She needs to be informed, everyone is different and we like and do things differently from others people. Also she needs to wait until the event is over before she starts cleaning, that is kind of rude. I do appreciate all her help do not understand me wrong, but you will see what i mean.
