“We typically work at the Waterview several times a year as we are local full-time wedding photographers. It is one of our favorite venues in Connecticut - or anywhere! We love the beautiful location along the Housatonic/Lake Zoar, the well-kept and photogenic grounds, the spacious and elegant interior, and the attentive, friendly, easy-going staff. It is always a pleasure to book a wedding here, and I know it will go absolutely seamlessly in heat or cold, rain or shine. The west or east sides both have charming and unique looks if your wedding is small or 300+ people. Even when there are two events occurring you’d never know it. The food is sensational whenever we’ve had time to eat. There are so many ways to capture the space, and we are always finding new ones despite being here a few times each spring and fall. As a FAA Part 107 licensed drone pilot, I always appreciate the views afforded in the skies, too. The Waterview’s bright spaces and enormous windows let us play with natural light as much as possible. If you work in this industry you know every wedding has a mishap or two from something forgotten at home, a sudden change in the weather, the party being stuck in traffic, etc. Everyone at the Waterview rolls with the punches so well, and the venue allows us all to collectively handle this turbulence with grace. You can shift a part of the itinerary, find a place to shoot and hide before the ceremony behind the building, or spend more time being waited on in the amazing bridal suite. Even the restrooms are clean and the parking is ample/easy. While this is written from the perspective of a small business owner, this is an unbiased and unsponsored review. I/we simple appreciate the perfect days we’ve enjoyed there. A huge thanks to the wonderful staff for all their help over the years, and here’s to timeless memories for dozens of weddings to come!

“We had a phenomenal experience with Pizza Pie Wagon! The service and food offerings exceeded our expectations. They will definitely be our first call for our next event and we will be recommending them to everyone we know! Thank you for helping us make it a special day for our son!“

“For our most recent Barnum Day in Shelton, we partnered once again with David Grant Catering for our firm’s annual Thanksgiving celebration — and they delivered another exceptional experience. This lunch has become one of our most talked-about traditions, and everyone looks forward to the beautifully prepared, and most delicious Thanksgiving meal. Will, who serves each year, is the kindest and always makes the experience even better. We’re constantly asked, “Who catered this?” because it’s that good. Easy to work with and wonderfully accommodating, David Grant Catering makes November’s Barnum Day memorable and truly special. Thank you!“

“Great food and service. Recommend highly“

“Seasonal catering helped make our wedding everything we hoped for and more. The food was delicious (and almost entirely vegan/gluten free per our request). Michelle was incredibly helpful, attentive and supportive throughout the process of planning as well as day-of. All the staff was superb and made this the LGBTQ+ wedding of our dreams.“

“Our company has been using Cafe 4 catering for years, each month for lunch. Everything we have ever ordered is always fresh & delicious. Our all time favorite is the Malin salad with grilled chicken. The balsamic vinaigrette is to die for. Also they have the best chicken salad wraps & turkey club wrap with chipotle mayo. All their sandwiches are great! Do yourself a favor & stop in for lunch, you will not be disappointed!“

“We did the millwork at this deli about 6 years ago, since Creative Kitchen and catering has taken over I cannot stress enough how absolutely delicious it is. Their daily specials are always phenomenal! Highly recommend !“

“Had Christine (and her husband Pete) cater my wedding on 10/10/25. From the moment we went for the tasting we were excited to have them prepare dinner for our guests. They did not disappoint. Appetizers were soo good I could have eaten them for dinner alone. Food was cooked perfectly and plates were visually satisfying down to the rosemary garnish. They even went above and beyond to do a few special requests! Amazing couple and amazing company. I would highly recommend their services.“

“Excellent experience at Vazzy's at the 19th hole. Well-manicured grounds, exceptional food/service, and a skilled bartender enhanced the ambiance. I highly recommend this venue for any event, especially after a memorable 50th celebration.“

“I first used Graze & Co for my wedding in 2022 and I recently went back to visit my in laws and ordered a grazing board for the weekend and it was great to have to snack on during the day. Ordering was easy and efficient, I can't recommend them enough. It really was not only is a crowd pleaser but also very delicious. I will continue to order from them anytime I go back east.“

“Omg!!! Absolutely wonderful!!! I was so nervous because 1- I’m not from Connecticut so I had no idea where to cater from and 2- I’ve never catered before (I always do my own cooking), I was not disappointed!!! Everyone raved how good everything was. Yezzy was wonderful to work with and delivery was exceptional😄Everything was beyond my expectations!“

“Highly Recommend Executive Chef! They catered a 60th birthday party for my husband. The food was excellent and the servers were so professional and helpful. Chef Ron did an amazing job and Robin was a pleasure to work with. All our guests couldn't stop complimenting the food and service.“

“This review is long overdue, I’ve been going to Mattei’s for a long time now. Their food is outstanding. If you like eggplant this place has the best eggplant I’ve ever had. Not to mention unlike a lot of other places, Mattei’s loads up their sandwiches and gives you PLENTY! The employees are also very polite and happy to help. All of their food is delicious, I highly recommend coming here and trying it.“

“We just had Ernie and his crew this weekend for a huge party. We had multiple food trucks and stationary bites. Everything was exceptional - from the friendly staff, wonderful service, to the delicious food. I cannot recommend them more highly! Truly made our party a fabulous event.“

“Fortuna’s Catering was so incredible to work with. They helped me craft the perfect summer pool party menu for my mom’s 60th birthday! We had lobster rolls, crab cake, shrimp cocktail, and more for very reasonable prices! They were kind, accommodating, and the food was DELICIOUS! Everyone was raving about it. I can’t wait to use them again for another special gathering. Oh, and they delivered it all to us!!“

“We had our wedding at The Spinning Wheel on 6.28.25. I couldn’t be happier with how the day went. Katelyn was wonderful! The venue was so perfect! Highly Recommend!!!“

“I went around 10:45 and I was the only one there since it was an odd time. Regardless, the staff were very kind and my food was prepared quickly and exactly how I ordered it. It tasted just as good as my other experiences in Fairfield (which is very good).“
