Begin your forever beside the water
Water’s Edge is one of the most romantic wedding ceremony venues in the Cotswolds, with two beautiful spaces to say “I do”.
At Water’s Edge, you can choose to exchange your vows outside on our covered island beside the water, or inside in our elegant wood-panelled ceremony room.
Your dream lakeside ceremony
Say your vows on our covered island beside the water, surrounded by mature trees and the picturesque Cotswold countryside. With an open-sided canopy, festoon lighting, fire-style heaters, and seating for up to 180 guests, it’s a beautiful place to begin your forever in every season.
Your elegant indoor ceremony
If you’d prefer to tie the knot indoors, our elegant indoor ceremony room offers a warm and intimate setting for up to 130 guests, with large bi-fold doors, traditional wood panelling, and a roaring fireplace. You can also extend into our tent canopy to welcome up to 50 additional guests (180 guests total).
Your ceremony, your way
Whether you’re planning a civil ceremony, celebrant-led celebration, humanist wedding, or vow renewal, Water’s Edge gives you the freedom to mark the moment in a way that feels true to you. You can shape your ceremony around your story, your values, and the promises you want to make to each other.
What our happy couples say
Your day, just as you always imagined
Our experienced wedding coordinators will be on hand to guide you through every detail, from ceremony timings and supplier recommendations to those all-important finishing touches. You can arrive and dress the venue the day before, so everything is just as it should be before your ceremony begins.
There’s no rushing to set tables, no last-minute styling, and no unnecessary stress on the day itself. Instead, you can enjoy a calm and relaxed start to your celebration, with plenty of time to get ready, take it all in, and enjoy every moment before your guests arrive.
