  Absolutely stunning venue

  This was the first venue my husband and I looked at and as soon as I stepped inside the ballroom, I knew this was the place I was going to get married. The setting is perfect for a rustic charm wedding. The twinkle lights are a gorgeous addition. The views at this location are truly breathtaking. We were allowed to go down by the water and take pictures overlooking Smith mountain Lake. The staff was so accommodating and helpful. My guests talked about how great the staff was the whole evening. Thank you all!

  I recently got married at The Water's Edge Country Club in Penhook, VA. From the moment that I stepped foot onto the golf course and saw the beautiful restored chapel, I knew that this is where I wanted to get married. My husband and I had always talked about a Fall wedding, and loved the concept of having the wedding outdoors. With a mid-October wedding, there were definitely the "what-ifs" for weather, foliage, etc. The team at The Water's Edge Country Club worked diligently to make sure that no matter if it rained or shined, I would have the most beautiful wedding day imaginable; which I did. Robert Lambert, the General Manager, and Jodi, the Assistant Manager, worked incredibly hard to make sure that all of the requests of not only myself, the bride, but my mother, my now mother-in-law, and my wedding planner were heard and fulfilled. The head chef, John Hanek, created the most delicious Surf-and-Turf plate for my guests that everyone STILL compliments as the best food they have ever had at a wedding, two months later. The staff that they provided to man the open bars in the reception hall were very personable and friendly. The reception hall was elegantly draped with gorgeous lights already, which made our decorating that much easier. The club provided the linens, plates, silverware, etc. to adorn all 15 of our tables, including our Head Table which seated 14. The stage was the perfect place for our DJ to set up his equipment, and the bars fit perfectly on both sides of the stage. Getting ready at the Water's Edge was not typical for most weddings, but Robert Lambert and Ron Willard were very accommodating in giving myself and my bridesmaids our own private area at 9am to dress and get ready for a 4pm wedding. They also let the groom and his groomsmen use the Men's Lounge, which they all thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, my experience at The Water's Edge was great, and I have nothing but the utmost gratitude for the staff.

  We found the Water's Edge Country Club to be very willing to work with us during the wedding and the reception. They are hard working and very pleasant to work with. It was so nice having a place for the bride and groom to dress in different areas of the club. The walk to the chapel to the club was gorgeous. Everyone was amazed by the setting off of the golf course and on the water's edge with spectacular views of the mountains. Thank you for doing such a spectacular job for my son's wedding.

  Incredible location for weddings and parties. Robert Lambert, the manager, is great to work with and we found the prices very reasonable for such a beautiful venue. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and attentive.

  Once my fiance and I visited The Water's Edge and saw the small chapel we knew it was the place we wanted to have our ceremony. It was like an angel opened their wings when Robert opened the chapel doors for the first time. The chapel is perfect for small weddings of under 50 guest. Our guest and outside vendors could not stop complementing how beautiful the venue was and how well the food and beverages tasted.
  Calling would probably be the best method of contact if there is something urgent as it may take a while for a response via email. Venue also closes at 10:00 pm Eastern Time so if you are wanting to stay longer I would talk to the manager prior to booking.
