FAQs

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

We have only invited guests/families whose names formally appear on your wedding invitation & save the date. If you received a plus one, that will be addressed on the envelope. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Can I bring my children?

Answer

We love your little ones! If your children were invited, they will appear as "family" on your wedding invitation & save the date. We have limited this type of invite because we are keeping our wedding as primarily adults only. We encourage you to use this evening as a date night!

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We would love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day, so please dress in semi-formal attire. For those who want to wear stilettos, the ceremony area is mostly concrete with the exception of some grass at the seating area. Please refrain from wearing dark green/emerald as that color is reserved for the wedding party.

Question

Can we take photos and videos during the ceremony?

Answer

We would kindly ask you to put away phones, cameras and other recording devices during our ceremony. We have hired professional photographers and videographers to capture this moment. Feel free to use these devices before and after our ceremony!

Question

What is parking like at the venue?

Answer

If you choose to drive to the venue instead of taking the shuttle, there is a large parking lot directly on the property for you to park anywhere you'd like unless otherwise directed by Waterview staff.

Question

Will this event be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Both! The pre ceremony refreshments and the ceremony itself will be outdoors overlooking Lake Zoar. It could be chilly with the breeze coming off of the lake, so keep that in mind. The cocktail hour and reception will primarily be inside with access to an outdoor courtyard and balconies.

Question

What is the weather like in the area?

Answer

In southwest Connecticut, the weather in October tends to range from 50-70 degrees Fahrenheit. Weather permitting, the ceremony will be outdoors at sunset.

Question

What type of food and drinks will be served?

Please come ready to eat and drink! There will be a great variety of food and options for everyone. In terms of drinks, you can expect an open bar all evening.
