Beautiful Summer Wedding

My husband and I got married at Water's Edge Resort & Spa on July 22, 2023. The entire wedding weekend was truly unbelievable and we would not change a thing! We are so grateful that we had our wedding (rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) at such a beautiful venue. All of our guests absolutely loved the whole weekend - we are still talking about it weeks later!
We are so grateful for the team at WER&S - Kara, Melody, Hailey - for all of their help and support in pulling together such a special weekend. They worked so well with all of our vendors to ensure the day was truly magical from start to finish. James was kind and attentive during the reception to ensure my husband and I, as well as our families, always had an extra level of care.
We really are so blown away with everything that Water's Edge provided and highly recommend this venue for your special day/event!

11/5/2023 Wedding

I got married here 11/5/23, everything went absolutely PERFECT! Melody was our wedding coordinator she made sure everything went smooth and was on top of everything. Melody checked in with us constantly, was so patient with all of our constant changes just overall sweet and caring. If you’re getting married at the Waters Edge which I highly recommend you should also request Melody!
Thank you to Melody and all the staff at the Waters Edge everything was perfect

WOW best venue

Absolutely blown away by the team from start to finish! We had mostly out of town guests and Flo was so accommodating in helping secure rooms. Melody and Haleigh were fantastic and very responsive with all of my questions to make my dream wedding come true. Couldn’t recommend Waters Edge enough from the stunning venue to the A+ team!
