    Veranda as seen from just outside the ballroom doors.
    Alexandra S.

    We just attended a wedding here and I was impressed by how pretty this venue was. I'm picky about weddings and places to have them. I'm bored at this point with the typical banquet hall with a cookie-cutter feel. Lake View Pavilion is in a lovely spot by, you guessed it, a lake and a pretty one at that surrounded by woods. There are beautiful outdoor options for the ceremony including an area with a nice gazebo. From most vantage points, you're in view of the surrounding woods and lake. The building itself has a lovely veranda surrounding it, so if the weather cooperates it's a great place to have cocktails outdoors. There is also an indoor cocktail reception area with great big expanses of windows also with lovely views. The main ballroom wasn't particularly to my taste but then again I'm not a traditional ballroom type gal. This one had overwrought chandeliers and weird draping over the rafters which would have looked much prettier and more natural if left unadorened. What helped things though was that this was a daytime wedding and the wall of sliding glass doors gave the room a bit of an indoor/outdoor feel which made a big difference. We didn't feel closed in. I happen to be a fan of the daytime wedding and I don't think people consider them enough. I like being in beautiful natural surroundings and having the option of being able to be outside or at least to see outside. This was a noon wedding on a picture perfect day. The wooded surroundings really made all the difference for me. The service was excellent. Things flowed seamlessly and the staff was where you needed them when you needed them without being intrusive. The food was okay. Others liked it more than I did but since I don't eat much of the type of food that was served, I can't be a fair judge. While I prefer more untraditional venues for weddings and parties in general, I would recommend Lake View as a place to consider primarily because of the wooded surroundings and the pretty lake. The views will be a moot point if you're planning an evening wedding, in which case, I'd probably look elsewhere.

    Beautiful wedding venue!!! I attended a wedding here this past Saturday and the place is absolutely stunning. Recently rebuilt, the design and craftsmanship are top notch. The service was fantastic, everyone was very polite and attentive. The food was delicious as well, definitely a great place to have a wedding or formal party!

    They posted this October 14th and removed it after I commented on it. Unfair how they put this up but told us no before.

    Horrible. My wife and I had planned to get married here November 1, 2020. We started planning since November of 2019. Covid 19 hit in March. Planning stopped since we didn't know what was going to happen. July came and we finally were able to have a meeting to see what was going to happen with our wedding which we had made several payments already. We pretty much walked into a meeting not knowing what was going to happen or be said. In that hour and a half we pretty much planned the whole thing. Not prepared, no time to decide. We werent told that the meeting was going to be to actually plan our wedding. The whole thing was just rushed and we felt under pressure. We also talked about having a smaller wedding due to covid 19 but we were told by Anastasia that they didn't want to host any events under 100 guests. Also mentioned about doing it outside and that was rejected too. They didn't want to help us out in any way or work something out for us. At the end, we were told mid august that they couldn't host our wedding and neither our back up date which was for January 2021 due to covid 19 and MA regulations. Worse part is that they kept 30% of the payment we had made. It was mentioned in the contract but we thought we could negotiate it to Atleast be 15% since we didn't do food tasting, didn't do any formal planning, pretty much didn't do anything besides have a rushed meeting. Also thought they would be fine with it knowing how covid 19 has affected so much. But no, they rejected that too. They told us That the 30% " is not intended to be hourly compensation for time spent to date planning your event". We lost 30% and Lakeview Pavilion didn't even do anything for us or honestly didn't care about our wedding. They did offer us a voucher to use towards another event but when am I going to do another event there after this?? The voucher also has restrictions and we would still need there approval too. We would probably have to waste $3,000-$5,000 to even be able to use that voucher. The voucher is useless and pointless. I wouldn't even gift it to anyone either. So if you plan on getting married here I'd think twice. They don't care about your wedding, they only care about your money. To top it off, 2 weeks before our original wedding date, November 1st, they post on Instagram that they are now doing micro events and weddings. That was a slap right to my wife and I's face. They told us no to doing that for us in august and now they come out with that. Other venues were already doing smaller events in august and in July. They should have known to change things but no, all they cared about was the money and as soon as they saw that many people were cancelling and no one was booking anything there, that's when they changed. I commented on that post but they have taken down that post. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Horrible.

    I just might get married to have the CHOCOLATE FOUNTAINS at Lake View. Best wedding I've been to in awhile. As maid of honor in a wedding this past weekend, I had my hand in a few different aspects, both behind the scenes and enjoying the wedding. It all started with the tasting my friends had over a year ago. Holy cow. I think it was about $40 per person, but I probably ate triple that in food. They had a cocktail hour with pretty much every appetizer they have, from fish to meat to sushi and free cocktails! The tasting was buffet style and they had several florists, cake makers, and DJ selections in attendance. VERY well put together. This place is beautiful in my opinion. Lovely little lights everywhere and very spacious. They even rigged a light snowfall thingy for the couple when they did their first dance. It was really adorable and I didn't throw up in my mouth at all. I had some dealings with Patty, the general manager and John (I'm assuming one of the head wedding people). Patty was pretty much the general. I got the feeling she's done a million weddings and seen a million different scenarios go down, so she has that confidence about her. I will admit, some people said she rubbed them the wrong way, but our group was made up of a bunch of jokers and laid back people. If she didn't scoot us along during the rehearsal and the day of, it all would have taken much longer, so I really appreciated her presence. John was really awesome. Super nice, he also seemed very experienced and he actually saved my arse. I had no idea I was giving my toast so early on in the evening and had left it in a bag the back room. I wouldn't be able to get into the back room until 10-20 minutes after I had already given my toast due to the other goings on at the reception. Awesome. I told John and after the bridal party was introduced, one of the waitresses slickly handed me my speech very CIA/superstar-like. And when I got the wrong dish (asked for vegetarian and got chicken because I wasn't at my seat at the time), John hand delivered it (clearly not in his job description). The food was impeccable. They even set out a spread of appetizers in the back room for the bridal party while we took pictures. Have I mentioned how much I love these people? From the chowder to the bread to my vegetarian dish to the CHOCOLATE FOUNTAINS! Blueberries, melon, rice krispie treats, pretzels, cookies, anything you could possibly want to dip in chocolate.. OH MAN... still salivating. One of the most organized wedding venue/reception places I've ever encountered. And I've been in more weddings than.. well let's just say I'm on my way to 27 Dresses status. PS - I took off my shoes ASAP to dance and afterwards they weren't even that dirty! They've got some really clean floors! ;) PPS - I forgot to mention the bathrooms! Not only are they incredibly clean, they have toiletry baskets with EVERYTHING.. female products, stockings, toothpaste, mouthwash, hand santizer, lotion, etc etc!

    Attended a wedding on 7-29-2017. The venue was beautiful, the food was great. But $12 for a drink. That is absurd.

    We hosted a party here on Oct 13, 2019. We booked our engagement party on short notice (about 5…read moreweeks before) and Kaitlyn was so easy to work with from the start. We fell in love with her, the house, everything including the murder-by-mail story behind the house from the 1800s. About 2 weeks before the party we called Kaitlyn and told her it was going to turn into our surprise wedding! She continued to be so helpful and excited, giving recommendations for all kinds of vendors we'd need. The day of the party she was professional and hands-on, making sure everything got done on a quick timeline. She calmed nerves and had great suggestions on where things should go to make sure everything flowed just right. Our rental price included some tables and linens she had available, and some glassware too. It was so perfect from the start and we couldn't be happier!!

Beautiful historic building who's tour guides added in a true life murder mystery of the lady of the houses death. This really added to the event as it was so my scene and absolutely fun. They also had a whiskey tasting since she was poisoned with whiskey which is ironically amazing. I would def host an event here because unlike the Newport mansions I could touch things and see things in the midst of being historically preserved since they're still restoring the house. Open Doors RI has found a new regular customer :)

    This place is disgusting and should be condemned. The parking it is desolate and looks abandoned…read more We drove around twice to make sure it was actually open. We saw some people hanging around the back the evidently were staying there. The lobby area has had a small remodel and is promising when you walk in. The hotel was empty but my co-worker and I were at opposite ends of the convention style hotel. My first room was bottom floor facing outside. While walking to my room someone in an employee laundry room area was getting high and ran when I walked by. The weed smell didn't stop there. It smelled like someone had just gotten high in my room, wall paper was peeling and was just gross. I almost packed up and left then but called the front desk and asked to move. I told her the issues and I don't think she cared. She at least put me on the second floor a few halls away from my co-worker. It was slightly better I thought. We went to dinner and came back. I walked her to her room because she's younger and pregnant. The halls were filled with pot smell and we are pretty sure a section was dedicated to people living there. I get to my room and when I pulled back the covers the one bed was heavily stained. I thought gross but there's two beds. Well the second one was stained and the pillows too. It was too late to leave so we stayed. Her room was bad but not that bad. I don't believe my room was cleaned/changed after the last stay. Hair was everywhere in the bathroom. Just awful! I've stayed in some shady places but this one ranks up there maybe at the top. Also, I'd expect more out of HI. It may be a while before I can trust to stay with IGH again.

Finally, we landed in room 264 where the heater fan would not shut off all night, but we were too tired to change our room again. We checked out the next morning and found a competitors hotel. I will contact Mansfield health department with photos of mold in 224 (gross) and 244 (moderate) and ask them to inspect the property. Mansfield Public Health Department Email Physical Address Town Hall, 1st floor 6 Park Row Mansfield, MA 02048 Phone: 508-261-7366 Fax: 508-261-7343 Please note my reviews on YELP are good and bad. I question the other reviewers that give holiday inn Mansfield 4-5 stars. It does not make sense. I have travelled to China 50 times in the last 10 years, staying many times in the Beijing holiday inn. Mansfield building is old and decrepit and a joke. Other holiday inns are fine. Being an IHG member for 15 years, I now think award points are a waste of time. From now on, my wife and I will book the hotel we can afford based on reviews. Points save 10% over time, but holiday inn would only give me 2 out of 3 days points back after 4 emails to hotel management and 40 min. on call with out-of-US IHG customer service. If you really want to have fun, calculate the "standard deviation" of the reviews on this property. There is no homogeneous pattern in the reviews.... and easy to figure out what is going on here. I urge YELP to investigate holiday inn is lower case of course.
