    Perfect!

    Waterstone is the perfect intimate venue! We had just over 90 guests and it was the perfect setting! The team at Waterstone was so professional and accommodating! Throughout the planning process we had lots of fun and we’re able to make everything come to fruition! Overall so thrilled with our venue and the team for making our day so special!

    Overall a great experience!

    Wedding planning can have its stressors and we had a few hiccups a long the way. Though - that did not stop us from having a great day at Waterstone. The guests loved the venue, our photos are incredible, and the food is exceptional.

    My best advice for any bride looking to get married here would be to ask as many questions as you can. Waterstone staff were always responsive to email and the meetings along the way helped make sure everything fell into place.

    If you’re lucky to have Meaghan as a coordinator, she’ll stand up for you if things aren’t right and she’s extremely flexible. Thank you for a beautiful day.

    Waterstone Estate and Farms's reply:

    We were happy we could help you out with all the issues you had with your florist and other vendors. Sometimes there is only so much we can do, but we're always happy to try. After you had to change your date twice, we're glad it all worked out in the end!

    Amazing experience!

    The venue itself is so beautiful, and then the team is such an added bonus. I was definitely lost in planning and the help from our coordinator at Waterstone helped us so much (included in cost of venue).

    The food was spectacular and our family and friends are still talking about it. The grounds are breathtaking for photos and the inside is so warm and inviting.

    If I had to do everything all over again, I would still choose Waterstone.

    Thank you for everything!!!

    Waterstone Estate and Farms's reply:

    Thank you very much for your kind words! It was such a pleasure working with you and Ross. Your flower wall and LOVE marquee letters were beautiful and we especially loved the "kissing bell" on each table. We wish you many more years of love and happiness!

    Waterstone Estate and Farms's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words. It was such a pleasure working with you and Ben to help put together the wedding of your dreams. Everything was beautiful with such gorgeous flowers and decor in the Heritage Barn and the Clubhouse. It came together so wonderfully with your cute table numbers, the arbour decor, and your amazing showcase of photos on the fireplace.

    We wish you and Ben many more years of love and happiness.

    Absolute Dream Venue

    I had my wedding on June 24, 2022 at Waterstone Estate and Farms. I worked with Brittany for months leading up to the event. Brittany was outrageously helpful making sure we stayed on our timelines and answering all my emails right away. On the day she kept in contact with me letting me know everything was going great and keeping me in the know if where I needed to be throughout the day. I couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator.

    The food!! The food was so so good, all of our guests said how great the food was.

    The venue; this venue has everything you could want! It has a gorgeous barn that has church like vibes which is perfect for a ceremony. In between the ceremony and reception the venue had outdoor games for my guests to partake in during cocktails. Everybody said how much they loved the venue and the grounds. I was lucky and had a perfect sunset. The reception area was perfect for us. It fit everybody so well and the fireplace really ad to the charm. We also liked this venue because we were able to purchase our own booze with the liquor license.

    I could not have asked for a better day. The entire day was a dream!

    Waterstone Estate and Farms's reply:

    It was an absolutely pleasure to work with you to create your perfect day! Everything was beautiful, your lawn games cocktail hour looked like so much fun, and yes the perfect sunset was spectacular!!

    Rustic Meets Elegance

    We lost track of the amount of compliments we received for this venue! Everything turned out so whimsical, it was like a dream.

    Brittany was a huge lifesaver!! I cannot give her more praise: she truly went above and beyond to accommodate us and our needs. She was professional, extremely quick to respond, and a true joy to communicate with! Everything went so incredibly well, and a huge part of that was due to her help and attention to detail.

    The venue itself is stunning: from the barn, chapel / gazebo and main building to the grounds, everything was pure magic! Waterstone is close to guest accommodations, the in-house caterer prepared the most delicious food(!!), and the opportunity to stock your own bar was incredibly appreciated and helped make the day more cost-effective!
    The one hassle was having to have all our décor and items out of the venue by 1am, but the staff were very willing to help our bridesmaids and groomsmen gather all our belongings at the end of the night. So overall, totally worth it!!

    Love that there are multiple options to have your ceremony on site, but we couldn't resist the heritage barn! Our photos don't do it justice!!

    It was a pleasure to work with you to create your beautiful event. Your day was gorgeous and everyone looked like they were having a wonderful time!

    Beautiful spot, amazing staff.

    Cannot say enough good things about Waterstone. What a beautiful venue. I was able to ride in on a horse at the ceremony (a personal dream of mine!). The reception was beautiful. The coordinators were there for our every question leading up to the event and guided us during the day of the wedding. The grounds are magical, and all of our guests loved the venue as well. 10/10

    Waterstone Estate and Farms's reply:

    Jamie, your wedding was stunning and your ride on Scout was magical! We thoroughly enjoyed working with you towards creating your day and we'll miss you at the riding arena as well as the venue! Thanks for your really kind words and keep in touch.

    The perfect day.

    We can’t thank everyone at Waterstone enough for everything they did to make our day so special. The venue is beyond perfect, the caterers, wait staff and the bartender were incredible and the coordinating staff are absolute lifesavers. We worked closely with Brittany and she is an absolute gem and a true joy to work with. Thank you!!! ♥️

    Easily a 10/10 venue!

    We had to change our original plans for our February 2022 wedding and found WaterStone at the very last minute (a month before our date). We needed a place that would accommodate a ceremony and a reception. The transition between the ceremony and the meal was seamless, speedy, and neat!

    Cynthia was a DREAM to work with. She helped us every step of the way - stayed late to accommodate our work hours and fit us with the tasting that had to be done so last minute. She helped with decor ideas, and even helped me walk to where I had to go to walk down the aisle. ALL of the staff is super friendly and seem like they genuinely care about you and care to make your day as special as possible.

    To top it all off, the chef was amazing to deal with as well. When we went for our tasting, he was very personable and easy to talk to, and explained everything about the meals. Every single person at our event raved about the food.

    If you are planning a wedding, you will not go wrong with WaterStone!!!

    Waterstone Estate and Farms's reply:

    It was a pleasure working with you and Kyle from the moment you toured WaterStone! Your winter wedding was beautiful and all your attention to detail made the transition from ceremony to reception seamless. Thank you for your kind words and we wish you many years of love and happiness!
