Lakeview Golf Resort & Spa Named Winner in the Knot Best of Weddings 2016 and Receives a WeddingWire Couples’s Choice Award® 2016


MORGANTOWN, W. Va., Feb. 23, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lakeview Golf Resort & Spa is pleased to announce that it has been selected as a 2016 winner in The Knot Best of Weddings. This award represents the highest-rated wedding professionals as reviewed by real couples, their families and wedding guests on The Knot, the #1 wedding resource. WeddingWire, another leading global online wedding marketplace, has also named Lakeview Golf Resort & Spa as a winner of the prestigious WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards® 2016 for Ceremony & Reception Venue in Morgantown.

In 2016, only 2% of the 250,000 local wedding professionals listed on TheKnot.com have received the distinguished accolade above. In its tenth annual year, The Knot continues its long-standing tradition of supporting local wedding vendors with The Knot Best of Weddings 2016, an annual by-couples, for-couples guide to the top wedding professionals across the country. To determine the winners, The Knot assessed almost one million reviews from real couples across the various vendor categories—venues, musicians, florists, photographers, caterers and more. These winners represent the best of the best for wedding planning professionals that a bride or groom would want to consider in order to inspire, plan and pull off their own unique wedding.

The WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards® 2016 recognizes the top five percent of wedding professionals in the WeddingWire Network who demonstrate excellence in quality, service, responsiveness and professionalism. The esteemed awards are given to the top local wedding vendors in more than 20 service categories, from wedding venues to wedding florists, based on their professional achievements from the previous year. While many industry award winners are selected by the host organization, the WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards® winners are determined solely based on reviews from real newlyweds and their experiences working with Lakeview Golf Resort & Spa. Award-winning vendors are distinguished for the quality, quantity, consistency and timeliness of the reviews they have received from their past clients.

“Winning Best of Weddings from the Knot and a WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award® shows how much dedication our Wedding Team puts into each wedding that we host at Lakeview Golf Resort & Spa,” Steve Sharkey, Lakeview Golf Resort & Spa’s General Manager, stated. “Both of these awards validate what Lakeview is all about when it comes to service and hospitality—we pride ourselves on making sure the experience is extraordinary.”

“We would like to thank our newlyweds for taking the time to review their experience with us,” added Wedding Specialists Lauren Thomas and Jillian Swartz. “We love what we do and pride ourselves in being the premier wedding venue in the area. It's hearing that we were able to be a part of making our couples’ special days perfect and memorable that makes it all worthwhile.”
