COTSWOLD WEDDING CEREMONY VENUE

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.

What our happy couples say

  • We had our wedding at Water’s Edge and it was a truly amazing day!

    The grounds and outdoor area are absolutely stunning. The outdoor ceremony area by the lakes with the swans is so beautiful and getting married surrounded by all this makes it feel really magical.

    Valentina & Rob

  • The most beautiful setting and a team that thought of every detail.

    Will and his team on the day were so smooth with their service, from drinks and canapés, food and tidying up too – they were all like a well oiled machine and everything just ran so nicely.

    Francesca & Daniel

  • We cannot recommend Water’s Edge at Ewen highly enough!

    So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and several told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended.

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.
