Beautiful Venue – Plan Ahead and Hire a Planner
•Verified review
•Tina R.•Jun 29, 2025
We recently had our wedding at Water’s Edge Resort and Spa, and overall, it was a beautiful and memorable day. The setting is absolutely stunning, with a gorgeous waterfront backdrop that sets the tone for a romantic, coastal celebration. The Venue: The venue itself is the real star. The ceremony space overlooking the water is breathtaking, and our guests were wowed. The Royal Ballroom was elegant and clean, though it felt a bit tight for our 200-person guest count and had a small dance floor. The staff did a great job setting up. One of the biggest positives was their effort to keep our ceremony outside despite some tricky weather. Plan B changed multiple times throughout the day, but they were flexible and made a call two hours before—allowing us to have a lovely outdoor ceremony on the patio. The Coordination Team: This is where things fell short. The onsite wedding coordinators did their jobs but offered little more. They operate within a narrow set of rules, and most non-standard requests were met with a “no.” If you want anything custom, you’ll need to go to the head of sales. We strongly recommend hiring an independent wedding planner. The coordinators are not substitutes for a full-service planner and do not assist with day-of timelines. Don’t expect personalized guidance—you’ll need to advocate for yourself throughout. Tasting & Food: The tasting experience was one of the low points. The food was poorly executed, and it left us anxious. That said, the kitchen completely redeemed itself on the big day. The wedding food was delicious, well-presented, and received many compliments from our guests. We’re grateful they delivered when it mattered most. Pricing & Contracts: Expect extra charges for nearly everything. Review your contract closely—Water’s Edge adheres strictly to what’s written, even when verbal communication during planning differs. This added stress and confusion. Their team is extremely contract-focused, so nothing should be assumed unless it’s clearly in writing. Hotel & Room Block: The hotel is beautiful but expensive. Managing the room block was more difficult than anticipated, and we were quoted one rate, but our final contract reflected another. This required a lot of back-and-forth to sort out and added unnecessary friction to the planning process. Final Thoughts: Despite the challenges, we had a truly wonderful wedding day. The venue was stunning, our guests had an amazing time, and everything ran smoothly thanks to their structured operation. Water’s Edge is definitely a “wedding factory”—they’re efficient, but not especially flexible or tailored. If you go in with clear expectations, a strong outside planner, and a willingness to advocate for what you want, you can absolutely have the wedding of your dreams here. We’re grateful for the memories and happy with how everything turned out in the end.
The perfect day at the perfect place!

We had the most incredible experience working with the team at Water's Edge Resort and Spa for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, they were open, professional, and genuinely excited to help make our day perfect. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with an open and airy atmosphere and breathtaking views that created the ideal backdrop for our wedding. The staff, we worked with Melody, was incredibly organized and went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our wedding day ran smoothly. The guests loved the bartenders and we appreciated everyone’s enthusiasm for us!We loved everything about Water's Edge and our day was everything we could've asked for and more!

From the moment we inquired about hosting our wedding at Water's Edge Resort and Spa, the staff was incredibly responsive and on time with all of their communications. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring our special day was evident in every interaction. They were always available, even after hours, to address any questions or concerns we had. The venue itself was stunning, and the culinary team delivered an unforgettable dining experience for our guests. Many people are still asking us about our cake! We are so grateful to the entire Water's Edge team for making our wedding day truly magical. Especially Melody who was so easygoing and very detail oriented throughout the entire process.

Melody and the entire team at Water’s Edge was amazing to work with. Our day was perfect and we wouldn’t have changed a thing. James was wonderful to work with on the day of and made sure everything went smoothly during our reception. We cannot recommend Water’s Edge and Melody enough!!
