The moment we stepped into the door at Lakeview Pavilion, we knew it was the perfect place for us. Lakeview Pavilion is BREATHTAKING! It was truly love at first sight! 3 LVP was the first and ONLY venue we toured. It was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process! There is not one flaw in our experience with LVP! The moment we stepped in the door we were greeted by Katelyn’s sweet and warm smile. She made sure all our initial questions and planning details were taken care of. From there we were ready to book the remainder of our vendors and knew we were in good hands with LVP’s staff. Anastasia provided us with reassurance. Her attention to detail and dedication to our event alleviated all our concerns. We could not ask for a better experience when it came to the planning of our wedding day. Their communication, professionalism, and organization is UNMATCHED! Kelly, Michelle, and Patty were ready to go the week of our wedding to assist us with whatever we needed. From rehearsal, decor set up, and coordination day of the event, LVP’s staff was ready to provide us with their unwavering support. Because of them, we were able take a breath and truly enjoy every moment of our day. Our guests still talk about the food! It’s rare to find a venue where their staff is able to serve a large amount of guests and have a consistent experience. All of our guests loved the hors d'oeuvres, entrees, and raved about the bartender service! Our wedding day was truly magical! We cannot thank the LVP staff enough for beautiful our wedding day! LVP will forever be in our hearts! Love, Chris & Mimi

We honestly could not recommend this venue more!! The planning process was amazing and smooth, so easy, they kept us informed and in the loop throughout the entire process, we felt so at ease knowing everything was taken care off. On our actual day we had an incident with our photographer which had nothing to do with the venue. Our amazing day of coordinator Lauren swooped in and seamlessly took care of the problem and was so amazing during the day, she took care of us so well and made us feel amazing throughout. Also massive shout to Meghan who was there on the day as well who took over photography for us the rest of the night. This was so amazingly kind from them both Lauren and Meghan and a step that they did not have to do. We could not be more grateful to them both, they made our wedding day unforgettable. The Food was also amazing! many of our guests saying how good the food was after and finally our DJ Alex was fantastic as well, the app where we could pick what songs we wanted was such a good experience and his video meetings before the day were very helpful and he was amazing on the night! We highly highly recommend this venue!

I recently hosted two events at Rachel’s with the exceptional help from their manager Sophia! One was a 40th anniversary celebration of the Friends of the Westport COA with 125 attending! Sophia helped plan, organize and execute an amazing night! Rave reviews by all who attended. My second event was a family Christmas party of 50. Several have life- threatening allergies which was no problem because Sophia addressed it and provided a safe buffet for all. The venue was ideal for my family and abrupt changes were made without problems due to unforeseen traffic issues causing one hour delays. It was definitely the best Christmas get together we have had and plan to celebrate it again next year at Rachel’s and their exceptional manager Sophia! I highly recommend this venue for any event you are planning. There will be no stress and you will be able to enjoy it too!

From day 1, Tyler has been very responsive and efficient in working with us. We booked our wedding during a busy season, and Tyler still made us feel like we had his full attention. The entire staff at the Waypoint were very professional, but most importantly, friendly and kind. I can tell this place is a great work environment just from all the people we had the pleasure of working with. The venue itself is just so beautiful. The interior is so open and bright, and really adds to the atmosphere of a wedding day. It's located near the docks, and makes for a great photo opportunity. The hotel attached to the venue was an extremely comfortable stay, and made things a breeze when getting ready for the big day. I wouldn't change a thing, because these guys know exactly how to do weddings!
