Conference

““My event supervisor the day of the event was amazing. She has worked with us both years that we have had this event and she is one of the best I have worked with.  The nature of my job is that I get to work a lot of conference staff and she is at the top.”

Wedding Reception

“My husband and I looked at several venues and Waterford far exceeded all the other possibilities.  We appreciated having the list of suggested vendors; that helped a lot.  Many of our guests commented on how nice the room was and how very, very good the food was.  Kevin DeLange was patient, helpful, and professional.  Our captain (can't recall her name) was also very professional and helpful.  We were both very happy with all aspects.”

The food was delicious and your staff was exceptional. Thank you, also, for all the help you gave me during the planning and I hope to have the opportunity to utilize your facilities in the future.”

Wedding Reception

“Holy cow, where do I even begin? We called you less than 80 days to the wedding date as stressed as I have ever been. From the moment we met with you the stress level went DOWN. THANK YOU!!!!!! Everything was wonderful! You took care of so many things that my mother and I were actually able to enjoy the rest of the wedding planning. My husband was also pleased. He thought the venue was beautiful! And the way you set up our ceremony space was both creative and perfect. I truly loved what you did with the chairs. It made the isle longer (something I appreciate more than words). The food was fantastic. Everyone was really pleased with it. I was told the hors d'eurves hour was wonderful. Overall I am THRILLED with the Waterford. Everyone on your staff was very helpful. You should all get a massage for your hard work! Really, thank you! I do not for one minute regret my decision to get married at your venue. You helped make my wedding the wedding of my dreams.”

On behalf of Virginia Cancer Specialists, I would like to thank you and your wonderful Banquet Captain, Jose Vasquez, for a job very well done. The tables were inviting and pretty, the food was absolutely delicious, the room glitzy and lent itself nicely to the Casino atmosphere we were looking for. Wait staff were lovely and very helpful and the bar tenders were super. In all, it was a very successful evening all around. Everyone had a ball – our best party to date. Please consider Virginia Cancer Specialists a very happy client who will surely be back again.”

Military Holiday Event

“On behalf of our company president and all the Team Sub Alumni, thank you so much for making our holiday event such a success last Friday. The Waterford's staff was superb and you accommodated our every preference, even the last minute requests. Our group has traditionally held its annual luncheon at the Army and Navy Country Club since we all worked for the U.S. Navy, but many of the attendees this year are now telling me that they liked being at Waterford better. Some of people's comments were: "Everyone at our table all thought that this was a nicer place and better food than the Army Navy CC." "Friday was a great day.  It greatly exceeded my expectations." "Everything was special with the seasonal seating at the Waterford, the video set with the fireplace in the background, and the great food." Sandra Hernandez and her team were wonderfully responsive to all our special requests, from providing water and coffee in the video suite, finding additional centerpieces for the main dining room, and just making our guests feel welcome. Again, thank you for your exceptional hospitality; you truly made this luncheon a memorable experience for all of us and we hope for future opportunities to return to Waterford.”

Rehearsal Dinner

“I just wanted to thank you for a beautiful evening at the Waterford for our son's rehearsal dinner. The food was delicious and everything went very smoothly. Jose Vasquez was awesome and made sure that everything happened just as we wanted, including surprising the groom's brother with candles on his cheesecake to celebrate his birthday. Everyone serving was very polite and professional. The setting was a perfect environment for a very relaxing gathering of everyone involved in the wedding. All our guests had a wonderful time. We will definitely recommend you to our friends. The wedding planner who came to the dinner with us was very impressed and took all your information so that she can recommend you to her clients.”

Retirement Party

“Just a note of 'thanks' to you and the entire Waterford staff for making my husband's party a success. Our guests raved about the food and overall accommodations. Daniel, our captain for the evening, was truly a professional. In addition to Daniel, there was another woman -whose name I've forgotten - who also helped throughout the evening. Please let them know that I truly appreciate their help and all they did to make our guests feel welcomed.”

Conference and Reception

“Thank you and everyone at Waterford for making our N*STAR Contract Kick-off Meeting and Reception a success. We received many compliments on the venue, professionalism of the staff, and the excellent quality of the food. I particularly want to thank you for assigning Sharmila as captain of the event. She accommodated all of our requests graciously and swiftly. From the very first phone call to hanging our banner to clearing the last glass, Waterford did an outstanding job.”
