Water’s Edge at Ewen offers couples a stylish, unique Cotswold location to celebrate their big day. In the words of manager Will Hewer, “our stunning outdoor spaces are a huge stand-out feature, from our spring-fed lakes and rivers to centuries-old oak trees nestled amongst the nature and endless lawns and woodlands”. Plus, unlike most other venues, you can settle into the venue the afternoon before your wedding, so you can invite your bridal party in for food and drinks and get the celebrations started earlier.

The team at Water’s Edge at Ewen are proud award winners and sustainability heroes too, and identify as LGBTQIA+ friendly and as Asian Experts (specialising in both Asian catering generally and also Halal catering).

Enchanting spaces and experiences

Water’s Edge unfolds across two impressive storeys, showcasing a charming L-shaped barn design. On the ground floor, the main party space awaits, featuring a gorgeous dining room with an inviting open fireplace. Adjacent to this room, a spacious bar and lounge area set the stage for mingling and creating memories. To add to the magical ambience, guests can enjoy the culinary artistry of the in-house chef team in the open theatre-style kitchen. Outdoors, spring-fed lakes provide an exquisite backdrop for leisurely the sipping of cocktails, setting the scene for an enchanting celebration like no other.

Reception spaces and facilities

The festivities commence in the barn’s bar area, where a meticulously crafted panelled bar serves as the room’s focal point. Guests can enjoy a selection of fine locally-sourced Cotswold ales, traditional champagne and signature cocktails tailored to satisfy every taste. A panelled dining room accommodates up to 110 seated guests, with the option to add a marquee for additional guests. As the sun sets and twilight descends, the dining room transforms into an inviting dancefloor, ensuring the celebrations continue in style.

Culinary delights and delicacies

Prepare your taste buds for a one-of-a-kind culinary journey expertly crafted by Water’s Edge’s accomplished in-house chef team in their theatre-style kitchen. The menus are thoughtfully designed around each couple’s unique preferences, using locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients. From sumptuous sharing platters and delectable grilled feasts to indulgent feasting menus, the options are tailored to create a culinary experience that reflects each couple’s individual style. After nightfall, a delightful and super fun ‘Munchies’ menu awaits, featuring luxurious cheese toasties, stone-baked pizzas and locally-sourced gourmet hot dogs.

Luxurious accommodation and bedrooms

Water’s Edge offers three beautifully appointed bedrooms, including an exquisite couple suite. Complete with a charming roll-top bath, a separate dressing room, a contemporary en-suite and a lavish super-king-size luxury padded bed, the accommodation provides a luxurious retreat for both you and your guests.

Meet the venue’s manager

Will Hewer has worked in hospitality since the tender age of 15, and has always been hooked working on events. Moving into the wedding industry was, for him, always a natural progression, given that Water’s Edge is a family business, previously managed and operated by both his parents.

When asked to share his most memorable wedding, he declares, “There are too many to mention. At Water’s Edge at Ewen we provide a blank canvas for couples to create their own, unique and magical wedding.” His advice to engaged couples planning their wedding is simple. “Enjoy the process. It will be over so quickly! Also don’t be afraid to speak to venues – we have a wealth of information and wisdom – when looking at other suppliers and top tips.”
