The Waterview Wedding Venue in Monroe, CT
The Waterview on Lake Zoar is one of the most popular venues in CT. They’ve been around since 2004 and the venue is conveniently located within a short drive from New Haven, Hartford, and Stamford, for example. It wouldn’t even be out of the question for NY or Boston couples to consider this venue.
The main attraction for many couples is of course to be close to the lake, in addition to all the amazing spots for pictures. If you’ve read a few of my blogs, you’d know that I am a huge advocate for venues that have great indoor and outdoor options. Not only for photos but for plan b and c when weather happens.
Their guest capacity is listed at 300 guests but they have multiple options for smaller and mid-size weddings as well.
How much does it cost?
The starting price for a ceremony and reception starts around $10,000. Typically though, couples spend around $13,000 to $17,000 on their wedding there. That includes a full day rental, ceremony, and reception. Their most popular package also includes a lot. Here are a few of the highlights.
