My husband and I got married at the Lakeview at WatersEdge in October 2024 and the moment we toured the venue we knew it was the one!! Having an all inclusive package made the wedding planning process much less stressful and the vendors the venue works with were absolutely amazing!! Alexa was our coordinator and our day would not have gone as smoothly without her! She really outdid herself and really brought our vision to life! ❤️

We had a few venues lined up for viewing, but upon viewing Lakeview and meeting the team, we enthusiastically chose this venue for our winter wedding! The massive fireplace is a beautiful cozy centerpiece in the venue, it has a lovely loft and spacious bridal suite! Many areas inside and outside for photo opportunities. They coordinated the DJ, food, florals and cake, with recommendations for just about anything you need, they communicated well throughout the process helping us plan the linens and layout and so much more, and supported us on the big day!
We had an emergency right before the ceremony started and they were so kind in working with us and the family to make sure everything was okay and delayed our start for us so no one would miss it.
If anything happened behind the scenes, we had no idea about it! Stress free is the way to be! The only thing we had to do was get officiant and photographer which really helped take the pressure of planning a wedding of. Any decor we brought, they set up and tore down which was so helpful.
The pamper package was great! It allowed a few hours ahead of the normal arrival with drinks and snacks which helped us ease into the evening without rushing.
All in all, we’re so happy we chose watersedge and got to work with Harper, Alexa, Emily, and so many other fantastic team members! Thank you for helping us make our wedding day so memorable!! 💕❤️🤵♂️💍👰♀️

The all-inclusive aspect was amazing! The coordinators were very friendly and organized. They also adapted well to when we got off schedule. Everyone was so impressed with the venue and the staff. The only area for improvement was that the catering staff cleared the plates too early (people left to view the events happening and came back to missing plates).

We had a wonderful experience organizing our wedding at Lakeview. We looked at several of the highest rated all inclusive venues in the Columbus area and ultimately decided on Lakeview for the versatile indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces with a beautiful reception area. Lakeview has a cozy, rustic, and elegant setting, and this is one of the more affordable places for an all inclusive venue. It was 20K cheaper than a similar venue we toured.
Alexa helped us plan the event. She coordinated the decorations, florals, cake, catering, DJ, and bar. She was easy to reach, answered all of our questions quickly, and made sure everything ran as smooth as possible. There are different packages you can choose, and we added the photo booth where they hung up a sequin curtain backdrop and the photos of guests are stored online and shared after the wedding. We also added the cigar bar which our family and friends really enjoyed. Matt was our DJ and he did such a great job helping us prepare our playlist and organized the shoe game for us during the reception. We opted for an open bar, which our guests loved. The caterer, Gourmet Fresh, prepared an elegant and delicious meal including three appetizers, a salad, and an entrée preselected by our guests. We were allowed to sample and approve the food beforehand, and everything tasted great. Fiori Florals created the perfect combination of colors in the flowers. Our cake by Alice's Piece of Cake was beautiful and delicious. The only vendors we were responsible for coordinating included our photographer (Hailey Lauren Photography), officiant (John Stuber at Columbus Wedding Officiants), macaron baker (Anne Made Sweets), and group transportation (Cardinal Transportation Ltd). I gave Alexa the information of the added vendors and she made sure everything was tied together for the big day. Alexa and my officiant helped me organize the rehearsal the day before which made everything so much easier. After the ceremony, the staff helped us clean up and box everything.
On the day of our wedding, I was very worried because I wanted to have the ceremony outside, and the weather was showing a lot of intermittent storms. Alexa watched the weather all day, and somehow she was able to prepare the ceremony outside between heavy showers. Despite the bad weather, everything turned out wonderful. One of the best things about this venue is that it has beautiful options inside and outside for the ceremony in case of rain. And it's so nice to have the reception at the same location as the ceremony. I really loved the spacious area for the girls dressing room downstairs. There is also a nice loft area for the guys to enjoy upstairs. We did not do a first look, so having separate areas for the guys and girls worked out perfect. There was a lot of space outside for parking and we had enough room to park our bus for group transportation to and from the venue for the evening.
The staff here all are professional, kind, and courteous. I couldn't have had a easier wedding day, and I am so grateful to all the staff at Lakeview for celebrating with us and making our day perfect.

We had an absolutely PERFECT wedding day at WatersEdge! We chose Lakeview at WatersEdge because of how naturally beautiful the venue is, and their professionalism and ease of planning was the icing on the cake for us. About 6 months before our big day, we were able to attend a first look event to try some food options and get some ideas on how we could decorate the space and make it our own. We were paired with a day of coordinator who met with us one on one multiple times to help us plan our day exactly as we wanted. Through WatersEdge, we were able to work with other amazing vendors who all met with us individually while also staying in contact with our day of coordinator to make sure everything was taken care of and run smoothly. Our amazing day-of coordinator, Rylie, was always able to answer questions big and small leading up to the day and on our wedding day. We truly did not have to lift a finger on the day of as Rylie and the WatersEdge team took care of all decor set up and tear down, all while making sure we had drinks in our hands and delicious food all evening. We had multiple guests reach out to us after the wedding to let us know that the food was the best they've ever had at a wedding. Having our wedding at WatersEdge was truly a dream!!

Everything was beautiful, seamless, and low stress from the very start with Watersedge. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with them. The planning process was easy with them. We had a phone call, scheduled a time to see it and fell in love and booked a date on the spot. We got connected with a coordinator, Alexa, who was amazing, early on and she walked us through the entire process. We got a welcome email with details, attended a “first look” with tastings, samples, and day of details/looks on display about 9 months before the big day. We got connected with affiliated flower, cake, and DJ early on and had individual meetings with them 3-6 months out to lock in those details — also all wonderful, accommodating, friendly vendors. We had a “detail” meeting with Alexa to discuss wedding day details concerning the venue that walked us through everything about 6 months out as well. Alexa was responsive via email any time we had a question, and we had a final meeting 1 month out to finalize our choices, numbers, etc. This is also when we made our final payment. Rehearsal was the day before the wedding at 11am-12pm and staff helped answer some questions, but our officiant ran the rehearsal. We had a beautiful wedding day where staff took care of literally every single detail we needed that day — down to Alexa running to grab safety pins when a button broke on my dress’ bustle. They kept us on time, organized and enjoying the day rather than running it. We highly recommend this venue if you’re looking to have a beautiful, stress-free wedding!

My wedding at WatersEdge was amazing! The venue is absolutely gorgeous. The atmosphere was so warm and romantic. My coordinator, Rylie, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure I had the best wedding day. She gives fabulous input and suggestions. I had a lot of obstacles come up with the planning and she really worked with me. The venders are all very professional and I enjoyed all of their services. The food ended up being fabulous (people are still talking about it!), the florals and decor were stunning, and the cake looked so beautiful and tasted good. The DJ , Andrew, was very professional and checked in with me all night making sure everything was in order and to see if I was ready for dances, speeches, etc. Everyone is awesome! I highly recommend Waters Edge!!

My wife and I got married at WatersEdge in December 2023 and absolutely loved it. The cozy lodge type feel of the venue was perfect for our early December wedding. For us, the model of having many of the usual vendors already included in the package was great. It limited the amount of research and decision making that we had to do during an already crazy/stressful year and we were satisfied with all of the vendors. The open house event which allows you to meet with the vendors before locking in any wedding day choices is also a great idea as it lets you see some ideas/inspiration and some different options in the space itself.
For our planning details and day of coordination we worked with Kamryn and could not have been happier to do so! From the start she was proactive with communication, flexible with timing for our meetings, and very responsive to all of our questions. She made us feel extremely comfortable through the whole process, whether it was the broad plans months in advance, or the little details the day of. For a day where so much is going on, she and the WatersEdge team helped keep our minds at ease that everything with the venue would be taken care of.
All in all we loved having our wedding at WatersEdge. Everyone we worked with was so nice and caring about our special day and the event went so smoothly. We couldn't have asked for much more.

My wife and I got married at WatersEdge in March 2024, and it was truly one of the most wonderful experiences. We were looking for a venue that would be an intimate and warm space, and WaterEdge was perfect. We also wanted to go with someone that took the stress out of the wedding-planning process and we couldn't have been happier with our selection. All the vendors were amazing and super responsive, and everything looked great on our wedding day. Our wedding coordinator was Rylie and she went above and beyond throughout the planning process to make the wedding reception we envisioned. During the wedding, Rylie was extremely helpful and did so many little things that went a long way to making the evening all that more special. Would highly recommend WatersEdge to anyone! Also, would highly recommend going with Chris Bowman Photography if you choose WatersEdge. Chris and Jess are not only amazing photographers that know the space really well, but they are just the most amazing people!

My husband and I loved having our wedding at WatersEdge. We fell in love with the fireplace when we first toured the venue and knew it was the perfect spot to hold our winter wedding! Having an all-inclusive venue really simplified the planning process. The WatersEdge staff is experienced and totally on top of things! We worked with Rylie, and she was incredible. She really understood our wedding vision and helped make it come to life! We could not have been happier with how our day turned out!

My husband and I were both looking for an all-inclusive venue for our winter wedding and WatersEdge was the PERFECT solution. From our first meeting with Rylie, we knew we wanted to hold our special day here. Rylie was so organized, easy to communicate with, and knew her way around wedding planning. We were very nervous to begin the planning process but she kept everything easy via Google Drive. When we had questions she was there for us (and even helped throw together a last minute hot chocolate bar!) The venue itself was beautiful, and we love the lights and fireplace, which fit our winter wedding vision perfectly. Could not have been happier with the outcome!

This is such a great venue with good package options. We got married in front of the fireplace it was our rain plan but ended up having an extra cozy vibe and wouldn’t have changed a thing! If you are looking to have your wedding planning simplified but still able to customize and look special this is it. No calling around trying to figure out which caterer, dj, florist, or cake vendor you want. They are professionals and every vendor was on top of it!! Prior to finding this venue we hated early wedding planning and felt overwhelmed with options but the way the packages are set up made it easy.
Watersedge staff was professional, friendly and easy to reach. They are all very knowledgeable and experienced you can tell they have done many weddings. During the wedding day they brought us apps and drinks since we were getting photos. Take down was easy the staff packaged everything up nicely for us and family helped take it out to the cars. They moved things along even in areas where we probably didn’t give much guidance. Alexa and Kamryn were our main contacts they were both incredibly nice and did a very good job, highly recommend them!!

Absolutely loved working with the team at WatersEdge. Alexa was amazing and so sweet! WatersEdge made wedding planning as stress free as it can get! They were no issues day of and there was so much conversation leading up to the day that we felt confident in everything. I could not have handpicked a better team to work with! Everyone at my wedding was impressed with the venue and some of my sisters expressed interest in going through WatersEdge when they get married. I highly recommend WatersEdge and can’t express how great they are enough!!

I absolutely loved our experience with Watersedge, they made the wedding planning process extremely easy and enjoyable. Everything went so smoothly, they were professional and extremely communicative. I can’t recommend them enough! It’s definitely a bit more expensive, but in my experience, worth every penny. They take so much of the stress of organizing vendors out of the wedding planning process.

We booked our wedding 2 years after our engagement, and through the whole process the staff at WatersEdge was incredibly attentive and helped make our vision a reality! We planned our wedding from out of town, so WatersEdge made it incredibly convenient to have a venue that has space available for getting ready, a ceremony and reception, and their packages include dinner service, drink service, a pastry chef, florist, and DJ. WatersEdge allowed us to customize our wedding day completely and add/change our package as we went along. All of which were delicious and beautifully created. Our coordinator, Kamryn, was very helpful when it came to setting a timeline, organizing our ideas, and providing additional contacts for things like bouquet preservation, tuxedo rentals, and “get away” cars. WatersEdge is the perfect venue to customize everything about your wedding day to truly make it whatever you dream.

I had built up planning a wedding so much in my head and when it came down to the details, Watersedge made everything so smooth and easy! Rylie IS THEE ABSOLUTE BEST. From day one, she understood my vision as if it was her own, and executed perfectly. I had lost my dog ‘Riley’ whom I always imagined apart of my wedding day - so Rylie was extra special for me. She made sure we had drinks at all times, got to try all of our food with all the chaos that is a wedding, and found special shot glasses for our unity shot. She brought such a relaxing and soothing vibe. I can’t hype her up enough. If you are looking for someone you can TRUST to coordinate your big day, pick Watersedge!

These guys made my wedding as enchanting and magical as it gets! From the way we could place decor on the fire place to the 3 wooden arches were we had our ceremony and everything in between everything was perfect!
And even with the couple of dressing hiccups (purely on the bride and groom) time of for everything was flawless! Kylie and Riley did such an amazing job on everything they did and where beyond wonderful to work with. ( always stayed kind and understanding and never had to wait long for a reply!)
The catering team was splendid if the guest weren’t gushing over the outfits and wedding party they where raving about how delicious the food was! (Only complaint is they couldn’t get any boxes to take food home and even that Kylie was so kind and paient in telling them why)
Then there was Dj James himself
He honestly worked with me (the bride) and my now husband all the way up until the rehearsal day on the music and was kind and quick to make any changes we asked for! He got the party started and kept it going until the last guest walked out and it was beautiful!
All in all I spent more then I thought I would (but I added a bunch of extras to the main package like extra time to get ready, extra food, those wonderful late night bites pretzels!) And if I had to do it all over again (as long as I got my now husband and the same crew) Id do it all again!
Every dollar, quarter, penny was so worth it!!!

She was quick to respond via my email inquiry and find a day and time that worked for us to come to tour the space. The tour was very informative and she even went as far as helping us picture the space! Thank you for being awesome, Hannah!

WOW! My now husband and I loved WatersEdge from the moment we visited. We worked with Kayla and Rylie specifically and we cannot think of anything negative to say. They were upfront about prices, flexible with package customization, and genuinely kind and understanding every time we interacted with them (even when I had questions about pricing and other things that can be sensitive).
We tried to take full advantage of the vendor connections they have. We used Fiori Florals, Aiden & Grace for furniture, DJ Andrew, and the in-house catering/linens/decor.
There was a linen and decor event where Kayla assisted us in planning our style and a first look where we got to see some of the add-on options and taste some food! I will say the food at the first look was good but WAY better on our actual wedding day.
This is the smallest critique but there is a built in 20% gratuity when booking the venue, so I was a bit surprised the bar still put out a tip jar at the reception. If that gratuity charge doesn’t include all day-of staff, it should be made abundantly clear how that money is being distributed.
Finally, Rylie and another employee (I wish I remembered her name, sorry!) closed our reception out for us and I was swept off my feet by how easy they made it. Everything we brought was packed up in the containers we brought and were placed neatly by the doors for us. Our day was already so perfect and to have them prevent that from being a stressor was so appreciated. On top of that, my husband and my ride was a little late and Rylie and the other person patiently waited with us inside so we could stay warm until the ride got there.
THANK YOU!

We had the BEST day, and are so thankful to the WaterEdge's team for everything they did to make our day a huge success. We had so many compliments from all of our guests, the main one being the food!! Our guests were raving about the food, all agreeing that we had some of the best wedding food they had ever tasted. We also received many compliments around the staff that were working that night. Everyone commented that they were so kind and incredibly attentive. The atmosphere was incredible, and the entire night was so much fun. Everyone had a blast, and no one had any negative feedback.
Special shout out to our DJ, Patrick, who was INCREDIBLE and kept the party going all night, and to our DOC, Amy, who executed my vision perfectly! She helped ensure that my day was completely stress free, and I would have been a mess without her! Riley and Hannah were both a huge help leading up to our day, and quickly answered every question we threw their way.
The team ensured that everything went smoothly throughout the entire process, were incredibly flexible and kind, and helped us execute our day perfectly. We are so happy we went with an all inclusive vendor, and HIGHLY recommend WatersEdge.

I had THE BEST EXPERIENCE at WatersEdge for my wedding. The entire staff was friendly, punctual, and accommodating. My wedding coordinator, Riley, and manager, Hannah, were fantastic to work with. The Floral vendor (Fiori Florals) was so fun to design and plan my day with as well. My flowers were beautiful and the fireplace looked elegant with the Smilax. THE FOOD is still being raved about at family events, I kid you not. All in all, I couldn't have asked for a more magical wedding day. I highly recommend getting married at this venue :)

Watersedge went above and beyond for our wedding! Starting with the planning process, Hannah and Rylie couldn’t have been more helpful. Always so quick to respond to my (many) emails, and doing everything they could to accommodate our requests. Rylie was our day of coordinator but she was so much more than that. She was so nice, calm and professional, she truly made our day perfect! The entire wedding day was so smooth and stress free thanks to her, she always communicated everything going on and never let us have an empty glass. She was truly better than any outside coordinator we could have hired.
GourmetFresh catering - was absolutely amazing. All of our guests raved about the food!
We can not thank Watersedge enough - it is truly the perfect venue that has it all in one spot!!

I had a great experience with WatersEdge. They as a venue were always quick to respond and being all inclusive is a major stress reducer when planning a wedding.

I’m not even sure where I should start! From the very beginning everyone at WatersEdge was the sweetest, most understanding, and helpful group of people. They made the wedding planning process SOO easy guys! They made everything so easy that I wasn’t stressed as most brides are. All of our guests won’t stop talking about the amazing bar, their amazing champagne, the yummy food, and the fireplace! Everything about WatersEdge is breathing taking as well. Guys with them you can seriously sit back and let the process happen. My ceremony and reception was absolutely beautiful with what they came up with. I’m still in Awh and will 10000x recommend WaterEdge :)

When I was looking for a wedding venue, I went with an all-inclusive venue to help alleviate the stress. Unfortunately with WatersEdge, it felt like a nightmare leading up to the big day.
I booked WatersEdge in 2019 for a prime 2020 date. When we had to reschedule due to CoVid, we rescheduled for a non-prime date in April for the same cost. They told us if we wanted to have the wedding we already paid for on the day of, we could only have 50 guests (we paid for 125), and we would have to pay MORE money since we were putting their staff at risk, and everyone would have to stay in their seats the whole time. When we had to reschedule AGAIN due to a deployment, (we couldn’t get our money back and had already paid for everything) they up-charged us for the prime date almost $2,000. They will also charge you extra for anything you can think of, including over $200 just to turn on the string lights they already have hanging above the dance floor.
When emailing them with questions, they would blatantly disregard my husbands emails and only respond to me.
They charged me extra for rock candy on cake and didn’t even use it. The cake also looked nothing like the picture I had sent them.
Didn’t use the centerpieces I picked out, instead just put flowers in vases when we had discussed using a geometric design (pictures below for reference)
The only reason they aren’t getting 1-star is because Libby was amazing the day of. I have had no issues with her and feel it’s important to say what a fantastic job she did on the wedding day, making everything stress-free. Patrick, the DJ was also incredible, and the food was amazing. I just wish we had a better experience leading up to the big day.

Watersedge higher up staff is very helpful in the beginning stages. Communication dropped off as we got closer to the date and the day of of the wedding there were a lot of things that left me very disappointed — they tore down a special appetizer table that we paid extra for before we (the bride and groom) even got to see it and they did not help make the cookie table look complete or organized at all as promised. They took all of our leftovers (including the outside food we paid extra for!!) away and never even gave us the option to package it up for our guests or us to take home!! Still to this day we have no idea where $200 worth of appetizers ended up and not to mention all of the leftover entree and dessert food — they fed the staff and threw the rest away without telling us?? Idk. Also, they were super hard to get ahold of days before the wedding — for example, I was trying to drop off decorations and I showed up on the day and time we agreed to but was left having to repeatedly call their office for them to come meet me and retrieve the items. Email reply takes at least 3-5 business days so just be patient and give yourself plenty of time before the big day to nail down details. It seems they have a lot of turnover with wedding coordinators so that may be the root of the issue.
I even emailed after the wedding and it’s been TWO months with no reply.
On a positive note — It is really nice to have the patio for cocktail hour and the venue at sunset was gorgeous. The indoor space is fun place to have everyone gather and feel very homey. And most of the other decorations I advised about were set up properly.
And besides the wedding coordinators the vendors themselves (ie. Dj, etc.) are really easy to work with and friendly.

My day couldn’t have turned out more perfectly! From the staff, the food, my docorations, and flowers! It was everything I asked for and more. I also want to shout out to Rylie my amazing day of coordinator! Everything was perfect and smooth all because of her. Also to our Dj Patrick, he made sure everything was to my liking and checked in with my throughout the entire night.

WatersEdge was the perfect venue for my husband & I's wedding! It is perfect for couples looking for a rustic, outdoorsy, but still classy venue. We loved how there are so many things included in booking with them including catering, cake, centerpieces, DJ and so much more! They made the wedding planning process so easy and fun by keeping us involved in our perfect day.

LOVED this venue! I am so glad we chose to use WatersEdge - the all inclusive package made it so much easier to plan and prepare. So much less stress & much easier communication with vendors! The only vendor we booked on our own was our photographer - everything else was included. You still get to make decisions without having to search around for vendors and keep so many of them straight. The staff were all so friendly from our first meeting to the wedding day - we had not one complaint. Our day of coordinator Riley was awesome as well as our DJ Andrew. There were more that helped us but those are the two that stood out for our big day! It is a beautiful venue, multiple options for ceremony spot, & beautiful spots for pictures. All of the food was so good and our guests complimented the bar also! We loved the photo booth - worth the splurge! Another thing our guests complimented and loved. The outdoor patio is so nice and pretty - the 360 fireplace doesn’t even need extra decor its so pretty on its own. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue, easy planning, and great staff look no further! There’s also many hotels near by for ease of out of town guests. I know they own a few other venues in Ohio and I can only imagine that the service + ease is the same! BOOK IT :)

I am so glad I chose Watersedge to have our wedding. Everyone from Joanna, Libby, to Patrick were all so wonderful to work with. I never had to stress about anything because they were always there to answer any questions I had. Flowers were so beautiful from Fiori Florals, and the cake was Delicious from Michelle Sauer. Thank you for making my dream wedding come true.

We had a great experience with WatersEdge and received many compliments from our guests. They did a beautiful job setting everything up, the food was fantastic and the bartender did a great job. We were a little disappointed because the DJ didn't play quite a few of the songs we had on our must play list and deviated significantly from the recommended song list he had us put together. Overall the staff at WatersEdge did a wonderful job.

We had a great experience at WatersEdge. It was so great that they coordinated vendors for us - Cake, DJ, Florist, etc. - as well as allowed us to bring in outside vendors we really wanted. It made the planning process so much easier. Planning in the last 30 days went smoothly because of the great staff at WatersEdge. I would highly recommend them for anyone in the Columbus area!

Overall we loved our experience with WatersEdge. All of the vendors we needed for our day was already provided and included in our package which made the planning process a lot easier. On our special day everything was as we had imagined aside from the cake. The cake appeared nice and tasted great, but it was not what we envisioned. However, due to COVID most communication took place over email so that could have resulted in the altered appearance of our cake. The florist company was great to work with and altered our bill as we determined what was in our budget and what was not (the centerpieces were included, but anything else was an additional charge). The venue constantly communicated with us, and they were there every step of the way to answer any and all questions we had. What truly made our experience was the DJ. Patrick went above and beyond to help our vision for our wedding day come to life and was willing to do out of the box ideas to help make our wedding unique. During the wedding he was constantly available and present to discuss logistics as the day unfolded or timing issues were arising (as they do for every wedding). We could not have done it without him!

Absolutely perfect and GORGEOUS. Watersedge was so organized, helpful, responsive, and made everything look so stunning. The floral company who works with them I was Blown away with. We worked with Hannah Trad as our wedding planner and she couldn’t have been more awesome. Thanks to Watersedge I never Felt stressed during the 7 month engagement!! We will always remember this special date with a great company!

Watersedge made the wedding planning very easy. They basically ask what you want and get it all organized for you. We planned our wedding during the COVID scenario which caused us to have to reschedule. This is the only reason I give 3 stars instead of 5 stars. Rescheduling was a fight with the venue since we had already set a date. Understandable, but if all the rsvps came back no like ours did due to COVID, I’m sure anybody else would want to reschedule too. Especially since they put a minimum guest count on their venue sizes. If it were not for COVID, I think our experience would have been a 5/5.

Watersedge did an amazing job hosting our ceremony and reception! Everything was inclusive and we didn’t have to get any outside vendors. They are always checking in on you and making everything as smooth as possible. I was so stress free that our wedding day snuck up so fast. 10/10 recommend this venue!

My (now:) ) husband and I are SO HAPPY we decided to have our wedding at WatersEdge. They made this process stress free, simple and smooth from start to finish. All of our family is from the Cleveland area and 90% of our friends are out of town too, so we knew it would be difficult to plan, decorate, clean up, etc. Also, we just wanted to enjoy our night and have our families/friends to have a nice get away weekend as well. WatersEdge did exactly that for us. From the beginning, all of the breakdown of costs were clear, they handled the initial communication with their vendors and all of the WatersEdge crew and their vendors were extremely professional, helpful and responsive. This venue offers several events to literally have you pick everything you want. Each vendor will reach out to schedule a meeting with you on what your expectations are. All expectations were exceeded too! Hannah was our day of coordinator and she did everything exactly how I imagined. I also realized I forgot several things after our week before meeting and she was still extremely responsive and accommodating. If she was not available, her team stepped in to help. All extremely friendly and go-getters. Cindy was the baker who was perfect. All I had to do is pick my favors and show her inspiration photos - the cake came the day of perfect! Patrick was our DJ and he was the best DJ I have ever witnessed (I know I’m bias lol). He played exactly the styles we were looking for - practically read our minds. Even when he made a mistake (we are all human), he totally made up for it! Our guests were humored and/or he never skipped a beat! Patrick was just so easy to talk to and totally down to earth. Fiori was the florist and they are SO TALENTED. They did my centerpieces, alter and fireplace flowers. The roses were absolutely gorgeous and huge - the centerpieces were included in the venue price too! I just brought my inspiration pictures to them and they made all the dreams come alive. The venue itself is just beautiful too. It has back up plans and spaces. The only little downside was there are no elevators, just a chair lift outside. We did have a few older guests and did our wedding outside downstairs, but we let our families know and they took their time getting there down the stairs. For those who could not do the stairs, the WatersEdge venue staff jumped right on it and helped them on the lift. I seriously can’t say enough of how amazing bc this entire process was. I can’t emphasize that they do the set up and tear down, you just have to load/unload your car. I have been in many weddings where we have to get on the ladder and take down decor at midnight - not necessary here! It made wedding planning and the wedding day itself fun and exciting - even my husband loved every bit of it!

If you are looking for excellent execution and convenience, this is the best venue for you in the Hilliard/Columbus area! Being an all-inclusive venue the stress of finding a caterer, florist, dj, pastry chef and venue all for the same date is NOT an issue. They take on organizing your wedding timeline for you, reaching out when the time comes to plan and schedule each detail of your wedding. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful with indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces and a ballroom where my boho wedding dreams came true! They took the time to understand the specific details I wanted to my wedding unique and helped execute them the day of! They're constantly upgrading their wedding options to meeting the latest wedding trends too!

The best venue in Columbus! We enjoyed our experience with the entire team at Watersedge. My husband and I loved that the entire wedding planning process was so simple! After hearing horror stories of how stressful planning a wedding is, we knew the all-inclusive package was the way to go. We wouldn't change a thing!

From start to finish the WaterEdge staff was easy and such a joy to work with. They returned our calls promptly, guided us with professionalism and patience and made us feel like each and every detail was just as important to them as it was to us. The attention to details allowed for a stress free wedding day! We received so many compliments on the food as well as the perfectly designed flowers that complimented the beauty of the venue itself. I would highly recommend WatersEdge!

Watersedge is a beautiful location with a very helpful staff. They made the wedding planning process much easier, especially since I was living in Pennsylvania while planning the Columbus wedding. Their vendors that carry out the included services (cake, catering, centerpieces, DJ) were all excellent and easy to work with. We especially loved our DJ Patrick! Overall, Watersedge is a wonderful venue and I highly recommend it!
