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 just had our wedding at The Waterview and it was the most incredible experience. Every single person that we worked with at the venue was kind, helpful, and professional. Our coordinator Zuleika made sure everything went according to plan and helped to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. Our bridal suite was stocked with food and drinks, our bridal attendant Angela made sure we had everything we needed, and the food was incredible. I highly recommend using The Waterview for your wedding.

The Waterview was an absolutely fantastic venue for our wedding! From the very beginning, their team was incredibly timely and enthusiastic about our ideas for the big day. We loved the beautiful garden room and the East Garden ceremony space! The staff went above and beyond to make all of our visions a reality, and we were so impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail. Our guests raved about the stunning venue and delicious food. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our marriage, and we highly recommend The Waterview to any couples looking for a truly special wedding experience.
Kat was our coordinator and she was absolutely perfect! She has an answer for everything and made the day so smooth and flawless!

Zuleika and the event staff where so helpful throughout the entire process of planning our event. After the storms where the flooding occurred, they remained calm and engaged and assured us everything would be ok. It was great! the venue is stunning and our friends and family are still raving about the food!
