    Wonderful to work with

    They responded to every question in a timely manner and genuinely cared about making our day special, which meant the world to us. The space itself is exactly what we were looking for—clean, spacious, and honestly worth every penny. The setting provided the perfect backdrop for celebrating with the people we love most. The staff's helpfulness made planning pretty stress-free, and on the day of our wedding, everything ran as smooth as could be on their part. Due to rain, our wedding that was supposed to be out back got pushed inside, but the staff was so accommodating and helpful that it honestly didn’t add any stress to the day. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend WAVP to any couple looking for a venue.

    Thanks, Mariah!! We appreciate you trusting us with your wedding & reception!! Cheers to happily ever after!! Angie

Summer & Fall weddings are the most popular due to our outdoor ceremony option. June, August, September & October months are usually the first to book up!
