Water’s edge is an incredible venue!

We got married at Water’s Edge October 2024 and we couldn’t have asked for a better team to look after us and our guests. We were looking at various venues for a while but when we came across Water’s Edge and met some of the team during our visit, we knew this venue was the one for us. The venue is stunning but we also loved their attention to detail, bubbly nature and they just made us feel at ease. Will, Emma, Steve and the rest of the team were awesome. They were so attentive from the start, they were super clear in their communications, answered all our many questions and they made the whole process feel easy from start to finish. Will did an outstanding job coordinating the day and everything went so smoothly. It was also so lovely that Will checked in on us throughout the day to check if we needed anything. The venue and the grounds are gorgeous and the food was AMAZING. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our wedding day, so a massive thank you to everyone at Water’s Edge! Highly recommended!

A day that was truly perfect in every way!

We recently had the absolute pleasure of celebrating our wedding at Water’s Edge at Ewen, and from start to finish, the experience was beyond anything we could have imagined! From our first visit, we knew this venue was special. It combines a stunning location with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made us feel completely at home. The attention to detail and care shown by the staff made us feel not only comfortable but truly valued and looked after. A huge part of this experience was thanks to Will, our incredible wedding coordinator. From the moment we met him, Will made us feel like our wedding was as important to him as it was to us. His organisation, kindness, and genuine excitement made the planning process a breeze. He guided us every step of the way, from answering countless questions to helping us finalise all the details, and it was clear he cared deeply about making our day perfect. On the day itself, Will worked tirelessly behind the scenes, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and allowing us to relax and fully enjoy each moment with our loved ones. The entire team at Water’s Edge was also fantastic. They anticipated our needs, and the day ran like clockwork thanks to their seamless coordination and professionalism. Every staff member we encountered was kind, warm, and genuinely happy to be part of our celebration, creating an atmosphere of joy that resonated with all our guests. From the small touches to the big moments, it was evident that everyone cared deeply about making our wedding unforgettable. Water’s Edge at Ewen didn’t just provide a venue; they created an experience that exceeded our wildest dreams. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the setting, the thoughtfulness of the staff, and the smooth, flawless flow of the day. We feel so fortunate to have had our wedding here and are forever grateful to Will and the entire team for giving us a day that was truly perfect in every way!

Our guests said it’s comfortably the best wedding breakfast they have ever had!

Will, Steve, Emma, and the rest of the team at Water’s Edge are second to none. We had a fantastic wedding at the end of September 2024 and we could not have asked for more. Nothing was too much to ask, the Hewer family are so accommodating and did so much proactive work for us that the event went off without a hitch. The accommodation is gorgeous, the lake is beautifully serene and our guests said it’s comfortably the best wedding breakfast they have ever had! Thank you so much to Will and the team for giving us the day of our dreams.

Everything was honestly, so so amazing...

My (now husband!) Ian and I got married here in September 2024. When we started looking at wedding venues around a year and a half prior, we were disappointed because we just didn’t feel like anywhere we visited was special enough for our day, and we ended up putting a halt to our search. We then decided a few months later to let look again and thought we would look for venues in the Cotswolds. We saw this new venue Water’s Edge and called up, and were invited only a few days later to come and have a personal visit with the owner. We were so taken by the venue, it is so beautiful and we really fell in love with it. We really loved also that it is a family business rather than a big chain, so the personal feel and attention to detail was obvious to us from the outset. We were well communicated with from reserving our date, to planning beforehand with Will, and then over our wedding weekend, everything was just taken care of. Everything was honestly, so so amazing, the staff, the food, the views, the decor, just everything was so perfect, and we really do feel that our special day was made so much more special because we were in such a beautiful venue. Thank you Water’s Edge for making our day so lovely and for being so welcoming from start to finish.

Stunning backdrop, great service!

What a fabulous day for our son Tony and his beautiful wife Charli. Stunning backdrop great service . Well done to all the team

I have visited Water's Edge a few times now to photograph and video surprise proposals with The Cotswold Proposal Planners. I really do love this venue! It's nestled away in a beautifully peaceful location, surrounded by beautifully clear water and lush greenery. The photo opportunities are endless as there is so much space to walk around and you are more than welcome to venture out around the lakes. The actual building itself has been finished to perfection, with beautifully curated interior design and room for over 100 guests. There is a gorgeous big fireplace, comfy seating areas and outdoor heaters too. The staff are always so welcoming and friendly and have everything planned down to the very last detail. I do love photographing here and always recommend Water's Edge to all my potential clients!

The whole team were incredible from start to finish

We got married on the 30th May 2024 at Waters Edge. The whole team were incredible from start to finish. They allowed us to be ourselves and show off their incredible venue in our own way. It was roughly 18 months from booking the venue to the day of the wedding and throughout that time we had many conversations with Emma and Steve, bombarding them with questions and ideas. Everyone says ‘things will always go wrong on your wedding day, just don’t worry’. We can honestly say the entire day went perfectly, and this was down to the Waters Edge team. Making sure everyone and everything was where it should be at the right time. We can’t thank them enough for everything they did. As for the venue itself, we don’t need to say a word. Look at the photos, it says it all. Perfection! Thank you so much for giving us the most wonderful day! Adam and Ellen x

Beautiful venue and excellent service!

The best day ever...

We truly had the best day and it would never have been possible without the professional yet friendly service every one of you offered to us. We had so many compliments from family and guests not only about the venue but also the food and service too. Everything ran seamlessly and you took care of everything and everyone for us. We are also grateful for you being so accommodating of all the children, we appreciate it isn’t usual to have so many at a wedding so again so grateful to you for your flexibility and understanding.

Just perfection

My husband and I had the pleasure of getting married at Water’s Edge on the 25th July 2024 and I am still living on that Wedding high! This venue honestly speaks for itself, the beauty you see in the photos is real, just totally unbelievable and utterly breathtaking. The day was better than we could ever have imagined and I feel very lucky to have been able to get married here! Will was amazing the entire three days we were there and throughout the lead up. Making sure we were okay, helping where needed and accommodating any of our requests. The chefs were fantastic, taking on board our requests and creating the most delicious food! If you’re looking at getting married somewhere beautiful, surrounded by nature, somewhere tranquil and special, get married here. You won’t regret it!
