We recently had our wedding at The WatersEdge Event & Conference Center (Lakeview), and we truly couldn't have asked for a better experience!
From the very beginning, Emma was abs...
olutely wonderful. She was always quick to answer our questions, helped us work through any obstacles during the planning process, and made us feel confident every step of the way. Her professionalism, organization, and kindness made wedding planning so much less stressful.
On our wedding day, everything ran incredibly smoothly. The staff was attentive, organized, and always one step ahead. Every detail was executed beautifully, and seeing everything come together exactly how I had envisioned was such a special moment. We were able to relax and truly enjoy our day because we knew everything was in great hands.
The only small piece of feedback we have is regarding the DJ. He did an excellent job keeping everything on schedule and making announcements at the appropriate times, but during the dancing portion of the evening, several songs from our requested playlist were not played, and a couple of songs that weren't on our playlist were included instead. While it wasn't exactly what we had hoped for, it didn't take away from how incredible the overall experience was.
We are so grateful to Emma and the entire WatersEdge team for helping make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. We received so many compliments from our guests about the venue and how seamlessly everything flowed. We would absolutely recommend The WatersEdge to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with an amazing team that truly cares about making your day unforgettable.
Our wedding day turned out beautiful thanks to the staff! We were able to celebrate with our family and friends without worrying about anything!
Everything was beautiful and went so smoothly! Kira was awesome and kept us all on track to have a great day.
Great communication from all the whole way through. They let us know what to expect and when through each phase and made the wedding planning process so much easier. All inclusive ...
is the way to go! Such a beautiful venue especially when it’s nice enough to use the outdoor patio.
Everything about The Cove was just perfect. It’s such a beautiful and versatile venue. Harper was amazing to work with and was so helpful any time we had a question. The staff was ...
phenomenal and food was absurdly good! I can’t recommend The Cove enough!! Thank you for hosting our perfect wedding!
The Cove did everything to make our wedding day so perfect and run so smoothly! We have no idea what we would've done without Kamryn! She was the most kind and helpful in what coul...
d've been a stressful process but she made it all go so smoothly. All the vendors there are the absolute best and so kind!
We had both our ceremony and reception at The Cove on New Years Eve. Everything went absolutely perfectly and it was truly our dream wedding!! Kamryn was very responsive and was a ...
great partner in helping my abstract vision come to life. It was so convenient to use the all-inclusive vendors to make sure everything was seamlessly coordinated to stay on the necessary timeline for decision-making and arrive on time and be set up day-of. The space is gorgeous and laid out well to smoothly transition between the different events of the day. We got so many compliments and our photos turned out amazing. We would highly recommend this venue to everyone!
Kamryn was our coordinator and she was amazing. Would recommend using this venue for the super convenience of the all in one aspect.
From beginning to end our experience with WatersEdge Events was nothing short of amazing!
My husband and I had looked at several venues and nothing really stood out to us. I had co...
me across a Facebook ad for The Cove that would be coming soon and I booked a tour. We met Hannah, who gave us a tour of the space that was very much under construction. She showed us the design plans and we fell in love with the vibe! We decided on a date and made the down payment that same day with only 8 months to plan. Planning a wedding in 8 months would have been nearly impossible if it weren’t for WatersEdge being all inclusive! Within days of booking, the vendors started reaching out to us making the entire process super easy and relieved a lot of stress. We were paired with Kamryn as our coordinator and there aren’t enough words to describe how amazing she is! It’s obvious how passionate Kamryn is about her job and helping couples throughout the planning process. Every aspect about the planning and design was extremely organized and user friendly. Kamryn really understood my vision and made it come to life. Walking in the venue the day of my wedding and seeing the space all set up brought me to tears because it was truly a dream come true! I worked so hard on several DIY projects for my wedding and everything was set up perfectly and also packed up and ready at the end of the night! I cannot recommend The Cove and WatersEdge Events enough. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect in every way thanks to them :)
We can’t say enough good things about The Cove! Our coordinator, Kamryn, was so pleasant and helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process. The venue was still being built ...
when we put down our deposit but Kamryn gave us multiple walk-throughs so we could see the progress being made. The venue itself is beautiful and had everything we wanted for our special day – outdoor wedding space w/ an option for an indoor ceremony if the weather didn’t cooperate, a beautiful bar, and the bride/groom suites are impeccable. The all-inclusive nature of the Watersedge venues was super appealing and all the vendors were incredible to work with.
One word...OBSESSED!! I wish I could marry my husband every year to have an event at the Cove. The whole team, but most importantly Kamryn, was amazinggg. From answering any questi...
ons I had immediately, to grabbing us a drink during all the craziness, or grabbing a clorox wipe to help scrub red wine off my dress when my uncle bumped into me. The venue is so beautiful and was right up our alley of being able to customize it to our vision. Its modern and timeless. We can't thank the team enough for helping us with our biggest day. Would seriously recommend this place to anyone!
Also they do a great payment plan which really helped with allocating our costs :)
When we booked The Cove, the venue was in the early stages of construction. We only knew what it looked like through pictures, but Kamryn and the rest of the team had us so excited...
for what was to come. The completed venue is more beautiful than we could have imagined. The bridal suite is so girly and delicate with everything I needed Kamryn is such an incredible coordinator, for a year she answered my daily emails full of questions and requests and responded quickly every time. She made sure our wedding was perfect and constantly adapted to my needs. Having included vendors is a huge relief, especially when they are as amazing as Fiori Florals and Alice’s Piece of Cake. We had an external photo booth vendor, and had no issues at all with communication and set up between them and The Cove. Every detail from our champagne toast to our late night bites was perfect. So many of our guests have said our wedding was one of the best they’ve ever been to and that’s largely thanks The Cove and WatersEdge!
To begin, I'd like to express my admiration for The Cove's exquisite beauty. Our quest for the perfect wedding venue was remarkably effortless. We began by browsing The Knot and sh...
ortlisting several venues, with The Cove at WatersEdge swiftly rising to the top of our preferences. Remarkably, when we visited the location, it was still in the midst of construction, and we had primarily formed our impressions based on photographs.
In a mere two minutes, I was completely captivated. Kamryn Brown, our dedicated event coordinator, was an absolute marvel. She flawlessly executed our vision, ensuring every detail was handled with utmost elegance. Kamryn's presence on our team alleviated our stress, and her commitment to excellence was evident from the very start until the very end. As a jest, my spouse and I now jest that we require Kamryn in our daily lives. lol
Furthermore, we continue to receive messages from our guests, praising the venue's elegance and ample space. The exceptional food and impeccable presentation have also left a lasting impression.
In any case, if you're in search of an all-inclusive venue for your splendid wedding in the Columbus, Ohio area, there's no doubt that The Cove at WatersEdge is the ultimate choice.
Cheers

My fiance and I saw The Cove and WatersEdge at the same time with Hannah. Both spaces are so gorgeous. They may be close to one another, but they definitely have a difference in lo...
ok, feel, and vibes depending on what you're looking for. Although this isn't the venue we decided to go with, Hannah was an absolute pleasure to work with! I'm already jealous of the couples that will get a chance to work with her! Thank you, Hannah!
Choosing The Cove to host our wedding and reception was easily the best decision we made in our planning process. We went into it somewhat sight unseen, as The Cove was just being ...
built when we made the decision to have our wedding there. However, Kamryn and the team made us feel so comfortable by keeping up communication throughout and giving us constant updates. Working with all of their vendors (florals, caterers, cake, DJ) was a dream too. Our day turned out so much better than I could have ever imagined. The venue was BEAUTIFUL and I didn’t have a stress in the world thanks to Kamryn. Whether we had a last minute change or one of our bridesmaids wanted a prop for the reception entrance, Kamryn was on top of it without hesitation. Our guests had so many compliments about every aspect of the day too. At the end of the night, before I even had my personal bag packed and ready to go, all of our decor was boxed up and loaded into our families’ cars. If I had to plan the day all over again, I would hands down pick The Cove again. They made wedding planning so much simpler than I ever thought it could be!!
Every aspect of our wedding was wonderful. Outdoor ceremony space and cocktail patio worked beautifully. Flowers, from bouquets to centerpieces, were gorgeous. Tables for reception...
were amazing, and the food was seriously delicious, including the cake! DJ kept everyone dancing all night long. Staff was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend!
I recently was a bridesmaid at the Cove at WatersEdge and had the best experience. I was so impressed by the coordinator’s genuine hospitality and knowledge. The venue itself was b...
eautiful - We especially loved the spacious and bright bridal suite and sleek bar. The venue also included food and flowers, both of which were incredible. Overall, we had a fantastic night at the Cove!
We were lucky to hold our daughter's wedding at WatersEdge recently. The facility, food and staff, including Rylie our coordinator, were all fantastic! Everyone commented on how ...
beautiful everything was thanks to the hard work that Rylie and the whole team did to make our daughter's vision a reality. Throughout the day, Rylie checked in and made sure that all of our needs were met. The discussions and communication throughout the entire process answered all of our questions and made it easy for our daugther to plan all aspects of her wedding while currently living out of state. The family style meal we selected was delicious, as were the cupcakes, and the DJ did a great job keeping the party going! We could not have been happier with our decision to use WatersEdge!
The renderings were all we needed to book at The Cove! The sleek, mid-century modern vibes are working seamlessly with the wedding style we've envisioned. Plus, there's a great tea...
m to work with! The venue has all you need included- Fiori Florals, Gourmet Fresh Catering, D&M DJ, along with Hannah and Kamryn who are wonderful to help guide us through the process! It's been stress free and we can't wait for May 20th!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
