September sunflowers themed wedding
Our September wedding at the Cotton Exchange was absolutely beautiful and better than we could have imagined! Jenna was wonderful to work with, she was professional, personable, and very responsive. Anything that we requested, she did her best to make it happen. We were in the Cotton Patch room and the space was perfect for our small wedding ceremony as well as reception. Kenny, who was serving food and drinks for our dinner was courteous and attentive. All of our guests commented that the food was delicious and the price was unbeatable! -

Love the Cotton Exchange and Coordinator Jenna
We got married at the Cotton Exchange about 2 weeks ago and it was awesome! We had the best experience working with them and event coordinator Jenna. She was so responsive to our questions and we were able to come in multiple times before the wedding and sort out details. We thought the packages they offered were of great value. Everyone raved about the food and how great the staff was. Jenna and the staff made sure to keep everything on time during our wedding and they were awesome with handling set up and tear down. Couldn't recommend them enough!! We also loved having a classy ceremony/reception feel but getting pictures of the barn aesthetic outside. It was just the perfect balance of everything and they went above and beyond to make sure all the little details were just right. -

Amazing experience
All I can say is wow. The Cotton Exchange was absolutely amazing for our wedding venue. It is such a beautiful and classy space. The owners are kind, the wait staff is professional, and Jenna, their event coordinator is so sweet, considerate, and helpful! Jenna made sure our planning process was easy and stress-free. She was always available through email, text, or in person, whenever we needed. I cannot believe everything was so easy. Not only are the people great, but the food is amazing too. Some of our guests said the food was the best wedding food they've had. I would definitely recommend booking with the Cotton Exchange for your next event. -

We (and everyone) loved it!
A classy place tucked in farmland. Don't let the silo fool you. The event space was recently remodeled, with outstanding food from the attached restaurant. Works for both ceremony and reception, they turn it around seamlessly. Plus room for a live band! Speaker system can even play music from your phone with great quality (we used that for the ceremony music). Jenna, the coordinator, is a rockstar. She can answer any question, or find the answer quickly. Worked with us to make our ideas a reality. She will be an advocate to make your day the best it can be. So many compliments from our guests who had no idea about this hidden gem in Waterford! -

Our wedding and reception were exactly the way we imagined they would be. Robert was so easy to work with and was very accommodating to our needs. We cannot recommend this venue enough. We wish we could rate 6 stars! -

Robert is amazing to work with. So knowledgeable about the profession and all vendors. We felt he truly cared about each individual detail that was important to us. It was great to have the rehearsal dinner there as well..very flexible and beautiful site. We couldn't be happier with our reception! -

The Cotton Exchange was absolutely, without a doubt, the best aspect of our wedding planning process. From day one their event planner was beyond helpful - he sat with us for a long time to brainstorm ideas and answer all of our detailed questions. The event planner helped us with so many aspects of our reception and he made us feel very at ease; he was very detail-oriented so we knew all along that the appearance and timing would be perfect. I recommend the Cotton Exchange to everyone in the area. There are a lot of options and ways to modify your event, from room size to decor to meal options to...the list is endless. We were so happy to work with this business, looking back I am so thankful we decided to have our reception there. The food was excellent too - they have a restaurant if you'd ever want to give them a test-run. There is a hotel nearby so guests don't have to get very far at the end of the night. This venue has 2 buildings attached to each other - the main restaurant, which is an updated barn complete with a silo; and the banquet hall which has several spaces availble, each with a bar area. I could go on forever about all the great aspects of this place - so you should really just check it out yourself. You will be impressed! -

Our reception was wonderful and worry-free. We used their services for the reception, dinner, and also the gift opening the following day. The food and service were both great. I've had many compliments from the guests and the event coordinator was very helpful and knowledgable. It couldn't have gone better. -

Canceled our Wedding Date
We booked our Oct 11 2025 wedding back in March of 2024. I went to make the second payment only to be avoided at every turn. After almost a full week of being avoided I was finally called by the event coordinator to be informed that due to the event space being "inoperable" we couldn't have our wedding on the 11th anymore. She wouldn't give me any other reasoning. Back in March we had even signed a contract. We could've chosen another day with them but we are backing out of the whole mess and chose a new venue and are now left picking up all the pieces and scrambling to find vendors to cover portions of our wedding they were supposed to. Contracts with them mean nothing and you can't trust a word they tell you. -
