Truly Amazing Venue!

We absolutely LOVED working with the Water’s Edge team! Harper was our coordinator and was on top of everything (the day of we also had a couple other ladies helping Harper and apologize for not remembering their names but you know who you are!). From helping with last minute target runs, to set up (they literally took boxes of things and got EVERYTHING set up for us), to clean/pack up. They were always on top of everything. So thank you all of you ladies for making our day so perfect!
The venue being all inclusive and the planning process being already laid out was the best case scenario for us as we live out of state. From the food to the cake to the florals, to the DJ, they all killed it. Everything came together so beautifully and my husband and I had such an incredible night.

I would recommend WatersEdge to every single bride looking to get married in the central Ohio area. From the first meeting to the final touch, the staff at WatersEdge was incredible. Kayla and Jenn were two of the most professional, responsive and accommodating individuals we had the pleasure of working with throughout the entire wedding planning process. The facility is gorgeous, boasting beautiful views of the lake in natural light. The brunch menu was INCREDIBLE and we still have compliments rolling in from our guests (especially from the waffle bar, and the bacon :)) Every question was met with a prompt answer, and every idea was turned into a beautiful reality by the staff. The process couldn't have been easier, and our day would not have been as special as it was without WatersEdge, Jenn & Kayla.

Brides. It's worth it. Trust me.

Being a bride during a pandemic was not high on my list of things to do, but it still happened. I am so unbelievably grateful to have booked with a venue as established and prepared as Watersedge during a time where so many things were up in the air. I never felt flustered with them, I never questioned anything. This team checked on me, laughed with me, encouraged me, and reminded me what the wedding was all about regularly. My parents helped with a lot of the wedding and the fact that all the vendors were included in a simple to read payment system, it took a huge weight off my chest and I never had to worry about forgetting anything. Not to mention, just the people. Between Kayla and Hannah and Joanna we were crying laughing at meetings, and going over our time by like...a lot just because we enjoyed hanging out with them so much. What I didn't know I needed during my wedding planning was the stability, guidance, and community that Watersedge provides. They walk you through every step and TRUST me that makes a huge difference. I even had a couple catastrophic moments (no batteries for roughly 80 flameless candles) that I never even found out about until my mom told me later. They just handled it and I didn't even miss a beat. If you want your dream wedding, but you crave organization..this is your venue. Not to mention it's gorgeous, warm, still upscale but very inviting. Trust me, and message them. Tour the venue and see for yourself.

Seamless and great value!

This venue is gorgeous. Kayla really goes above and beyond to make your day special and perfect. It was an amazing value, and so seamless. I loved how well all the vendors worked with the venue and I didn't have to think about any of the details on the big day.

Amazing! Everything was beautiful!

We just had our wedding at WatersEdge about a week ago and it was nothing but amazing. We have received so many compliments on how nice the ceremony and reception was and how great the food was! Kayla was awesome with helping us through our rehearsal and day of the wedding in coordinating when everyone was to walk out to the pergola by the pond. She also helped us take down our decorations at the end to save us some time. DJ Patrick was also great on keeping us on time and making sure we do all of the special dances and speeches we wanted. We did a nontraditional wedding song for the ceremony and I was worried about how the timing would work out and he was able to time it up perfectly so the end of the song was right as I reached the aisle way. We did the buffet option for food. Everything was amazing and we were able to take home the leftovers which was really nice for the next day when we were all tired and didn't want to cook! WatersEdge is a great venue, they made everything with planning super easy, I would recommend it in a heartbeat.

Stress Free Venue that goes above and beyond for you

This venue was beyond amazing! The best part of this venue is you do not have to do a thing! Everything but the photographer was included which made planning our wedding so much less stressful. They had payment options so we did not feel like we had to pay everything upfront or worry about getting everything organized and timed out correctly. From the first moment we walked in we were greeted with care and excitement for our big day. Kayla was who we worked first hand with. She was always there to quickly respond to a call or email. She made time to let us come visit the venue a few times to either show people or to get ideas for our bid day. She helped us make the day about us and plan everything to our dreams! The day of the wedding was so smooth and we did not have to lift a finger. From the time we arrived until we departed the staff was so helpful we hardly knew they were there. They all treated me and my wife with so much excitement and went above and beyond to make sure we were the center of attention. I also can not say enough good things about the food. So many people approached us saying that the burban flank steak was the best they have ever had and most admitted they went for seconds! The staff was so sweet they even packed us a togo box of all our food and cake that we could have the next day! I have no regrets about the venue and would recommend having your wedding there without hesitation! Not one guest told us a negative comment about the venue, staff, food, bartenders, cake or music. Hands down was more than I ever imagined!

Perfect wedding day

Our wedding was a day we'll never forget, and that's all thanks to the team at Watersedge. In the midst of a rough year, we weren't sure what to expect for our September wedding. However, the staff made sure our day was perfect. All of the vendors were wonderful to work with and the day was even better than I imagined. Highly recommend checking out this venue, you won't be disappointed.

We can't thank WatersEdge enough for making our day absolutely perfect. The venue is undeniably gorgeous and the staff did anything and everything to make our day go smoothly. If only they could have kept the rain away ;). The venue is totally customizable and affordable. They walk you through every step of the wedding planning process and will answer any questions or requests in an insanely timely manner. We loved that almost everything was included in our price; food, drinks, cake, dj, flowers etc. It makes it easier on those couples that get overwhelmed easily. Everything is at the tip of your fingers from the beginning and there isn’t a hassle of calling 800 different vendors. If we could we would get married there every day. You even get an option to make a donation to a charity. We have no complaints whatsoever!

WatersEdge made our wedding day flawless! When we were looking at venues, no place compared to WatersEdge. The fact that all of the major parts of your wedding day are included, Dinner, Cake/Dessert, Flowers, DJ, Staff to make things go off without a hitch, chairs and set-up crew for an outdoor wedding and indoor ceremony if you choose, the amazing space, and so much more, no other venue could beat it. From communication all the way through the planning process, every email answered, and all of the extremely kind people, we felt truly fortunate and cared for, to have the celebration of our union and covenant with God established, at this location! WE WOULD TELL YOU, STOP LOOKING WHEN YOU FIND AN OPEN DATE AT WATERSEDGE! It will be the best decision in your wedding planning process to book here. I can't say enough good and positive things about WatersEdge! When you book, you will work with Kayla, and she will make you feel at home at take such good care of you, she's truly wonderful!!! Thank you guys so much for making our wedding day, storybook-perfect!!
Love Always, Mr. & Mrs. Ryan and Jordyn Sabin!
