Amazing! Book now!

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about our wedding at Waterworks. The venue was so beautiful and perfect for our event. Our ceremony was on the patio, and the reception was in the River House event space, where the combination of exposed brick and beautiful natural light lent an elegance to the whole event that we really loved. The food was INCREDIBLE as well- we were thrilled, as were our guests. This set the stage for a fantastic wedding - and then the staff at Waterworks just put it over the top. Lindsay was a tremendous event planner for us. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, from start to finish. We couldn’t have made this happen without her, and she made our vision come true. She worked so hard and was such a lovely person - we were so lucky! Sarah was also extremely helpful for our wedding. David, the owner, was so accommodating, thoughtful and kind, and really made us feel special and at home. James, who supported my husband and I throughout our whole wedding day was incredible and truly the sweetest person. Lucia also made sure that we always had everything we needed. There were so many wonderful staff throughout the wedding day, too - all of our guests commented on how helpful, kind, and attentive everyone from Waterworks was. And they had the best time - everyone said it was the best wedding ever! Literally everyone we worked with was great!! They still make us feel special whenever we go back for dinner. I cannot imagine a more perfect wedding, and highly recommend this venue, you won’t be disappointed. Book it now! 10 out of 10 and more. Thank you Waterworks!!

The best day!

My husband and I recently hosted our wedding at Waterworks for about 70 people, specifically in the River House room. It was everything we imagined and stress-free.

Venue: The River House room is a hidden gem - but it will definitely rise in popularity quickly!. It has great natural lighting and is filled with many house plants so it is stunning before anything is added. There are so many great places outside the venue as well for your photography team as well.

Exceptional Service: Ben, our event coordinator, was amazing and made the planning process a breeze! From start to finish, Ben was attentive, organized, and incredibly helpful. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in creating our special day.

Delicious Food: Guests raved about the food all night long. We served hot & cold passed apps that were a huge hit! A plated dinner service with assigned seats - the staff was excellent and made sure to confirm everyone's meal choice before serving. And the cheesecake dessert... no words. No one left hungry, that’s for sure.

Attentive Staff: The Waterworks team went above and beyond. They checked in with us, the wedding party, and even our guests. Whether it was a plate of apps or a refreshing drink, they made sure we had everything we needed.

Do not sleep on Waterworks for your wedding day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
