We had the most incredible wedding day, and we are so grateful we chose The Cove at WatersEdge as our venue. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, stress-free, ...
and even better than we imagined.
Working with the coordination team was wonderful. Every question we had throughout the planning process was answered quickly and with so much care. Choosing an all-inclusive venue was one of the best decisions we made! It took so much pressure off planning, while still allowing us to make everything feel personal and true to our style. We’ve already been recommending it to everyone we know who is engaged.
On top of everything, the value was unbeatable. The Cove was one of the most affordable venues we toured, yet it stood out as our favorite regardless of price. The fact that it was so budget-friendly was just icing on the cake for an already perfect experience.
The staff on our wedding day was exceptional. The bartenders and dining team were kind, efficient, and went above and beyond. One of our favorite moments was when a server noticed my sister hadn’t eaten because she was nervous for her speech. During her speech, the server actually warmed her dinner back up right before she finished speaking so it would taste fresh. It was such a thoughtful and memorable act of kindness.
Our guests are still raving about the food, and it was one of the most talked-about parts of the evening!
Patrick, our DJ, was absolutely amazing. The music was spot-on for the entire night. One guest joked, “I wish he’d play at least one bad song so I could leave the dance floor to go to the bathroom!” He captured the exact vibe we envisioned.
The venue itself looked stunning! Everything from the florals to the linens exceeded our expectations and truly brought our vision to life.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Cove and would choose it again a thousand times over. If you’re considering getting married here, do it!

tersEdge for your wedding day. It means so much to hear that your planning process was smooth, stress‑free, and supported by our team.
We’re thrilled that the all‑inclusive experience helped bring your vision to life while keeping everything personal and within budget. Your kind words about our staff—and especially the thoughtful moment with your sister’s dinner—mean the world to us. We’re also so glad your guests loved the food!
Patrick will be delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the music and energy throughout the night. And knowing the décor, florals, and overall atmosphere exceeded your expectations is the best compliment we could receive.
Thank you for recommending us and for sharing such a heartfelt reflection. We’re grateful to have been part of your day and wish you both a lifetime of joy! 💙

Wow wow WOW! We had our wedding at WatersEdge (Lakeview location) two weeks ago and it was absolutely PERFECT! Everything ran so smoothly, not a single thing went wrong. Our coordi...
nator, Mia, was such a delight to work with. She was so on top of everything, very organized, and did an incredible job keeping our timeline moving along.
The space itself is breathtaking - and once you add florals, decor, drapery, and other personal touches, oh my gosh. It truly felt like a fairytale and perfectly matched the whimsical garden party vision that I had in my mind.
The fact that it's all inclusive is SUCH A BONUS! And the vendors they are partnered with are incredible. Food was great, alcohol selection was top tier, cake was beautiful and delicious, DJ kept the party going, and the florist did a wonderful job on the centerpieces. They also have amazing add-ons that are totally worth the extra spend. Having a day-of coordinator is also such a game changer - I don't know how anyone does a big wedding without one!
Our wedding day was everything we could have dreamed of and more. WatersEdge truly brought our vision to life and made it look so effortless! I cannot recommend them enough :)

We’re so glad the all‑inclusive experience, amazing vendor team, and those fun add‑ons helped bring your fairytale garden‑party vision to life. From the florals to the food to the nonstop dance floor, it sounds like the day was pure magic.
Thank you for recommending us—we loved being part of your story! 💙✨

ordinator. She was so attentive, helpful, thoughtful, and most of all kind throughout everything. Gianna was also amazing - helping us get the venue locked down and assisting Jennah day off. Really, could not recommend this venue & team enough. The venue was absolutely gorgeous and our vision came together perfectly. The team assisting with cocktail hour/dinner/etc. was also AMAZING!!! The servers were so polite, kind, and just all around incredible. Don’t even get me started on the DJ - we had so many people come up to us and tell us that DJ James was killing it all night! Everything from entrances, song choice, etc. was on point. The cake and cupcakes from Alice were also beautiful and most importantly DELICIOUS! Once again, cannot recommend enough. I don’t think our day would’ve been as perfect as it was without Jennah + whole team.

od it was. The DJ really helped plan out the entire night with a detailed schedule to make the night go smoothly. I am rating this a 4 because there were a lot of amazing enhancements to choose from and add onto your package but the cost added up very quickly. Also we could not meet in person to choose our floral arrangements so we had a Zoom call and was sent a proposal for the arrangements we chose with pictures of what they would look like. My bouquet was a lot smaller than what the proposal had suggested. Because of the price I believe it should have been much larger.

venue is very willing to work budgets and we never felt pressured to go above the Minimum. On our wedding day, Jennah made sure everything was perfect, and when we had to last minute change to our rain plan, she was able to communicate with us quick and effective, and help us to make sure we could get the best case scenario. The venue itself is stunning, and the vendors through them were amazing. We would recommend the venue and Jennah to anyone.

the entire process. Our day of coordinator, Jennah, was always positive and patient even as we slid into wedding week and had lots of questions. She always answered in a timely manner and assured us everything would fall into place beautifully- and it did, even when we had to move the ceremony inside due to the weather. Their in-house vendors for the flowers, cake and food were great to work with. Flowers were gorgeous and the food was very good!! We were very happy with our experience!

one thing that did bother me was it being all inclusive to a point. Florals are included, but only the center pieces. If you want bouquets, it was an upcharge. Stuff like that. However, the food was great, the DJ was lit, and our day-of coordinator was perfect. Jennah was our coordinator, and she was just perfect. She made our day seamless, stress-free, and her communication was perfect. She got back to us right away. I would re-do my wedding here all over again. I loved it!

Our wedding coordinator, Jennah Yost, was very professional, helpful, and readily available through this process if my husband and I ever had questions, comments, changes, or conce...
rns. It was very easy to discuss budget with her and she never made me feel like I had to or needed to spend more money in order to have the wedding of our dreams.
The overall venue was more spacious than I had thought (guest count of 107) and everyone fit perfectly and had plenty of elbow room :) the florist, Fiori Florals, did an amazing job bringing my whimsical visions to life. Loved the candelabra option!
Plenty of linen options, as well as add-ons (ex. gold flatware, textured table cloths) that didn’t break the bank!
The food was so delicious and my husband and I received complements on our selections all night. This also goes for the bar; we opted for the open beer + wine option, and made the liquor part a “cash” bar for guests. The signature cocktails tasted so yummy :)
Our DJ, Patrick, was also like Jennah; quick to respond to emails, readily available, and SUPER helpful. I wanted to edit songs included in our ceremony and first dances; cutting out certain lyrics, making instrumental parts longer, wanting the song to start or finish sooner, and Patrick had no issues doing that. He also video called my husband and I to walk us through how to use the online planning tool, which was way easier to use after he explained how to use it.
The outdoor patio had just been redone so it was very nice to utilize that during cocktail hour for sunset photos and overall ambiance.
We had our ceremony in the garden section of the venue and my favorite features from that area are definitely the three, wooden, triangle arches above the ceremony space and the long, wooden benches to match for the guests. It felt very high fantasy/fae/whimisical <3
The reception space has this HUGE, floor to ceiling fireplace that sets such a mood later in the evening. I know they offer the option to rent furniture and while my husband and I opted out of that, I could definitely picture big, vintage chairs and chaise lounges around the fireplace.
I would highly recommend this venue, and its sister venues (my older sister was married at one of them!), to anyone looking for a very well rounded, all-inclusive experience.

d it was a great size, the ceremony space is what we fell in love with. the buffet was good and we upgraded our alcohol, no signature drink, though the drinks could have been better but no bad reviews. Our Dj was awesome, cake was alright, I thought the inspiration photo I showed her and the details we gave her it would be more detailed, flavor was good. Florist was great, any normal centerpieces with flowers and candles is included in the price for the venue. We spent anther 2k on flowers for other tables, fireplace, aisle flowers, and bouquets and boutonnieres. We worked with Alexa and Harper as our coordinators and they were great I asked them questions in the months leading up to the day, always helpful, they were on top of the ceremony processional, food and getting us drinks! Thanks again Harper and Alexa.

autiful 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!! 💕❤️🤵♂️💍👰♀️

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 Lake...
view 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.

ing 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 wa...
s 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 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 mode...
l 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.

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!

o 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!!

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!!!

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 upfron...
t 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!

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.

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!!

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 b...
ig 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.
