Don’t think that this venue is ONLY for larger receptions. The Veranda Ballroom can hold smaller weddings (about 120 guests) with a great overall look that Bridgewater is known for.

Having a reception during a home football weekend might be crowded at times, but if you want to combine OSU football with your reception, this would probably be the best venue for that. You are close enough to the campus, while still being away from it.
If the weather is nice, consider having your reception outside. This venue has a cool patio area that is perfect for ceremonies.
One of the really unique things for this new venue is the the hotel, and its salt water pool. I am not sure of how many salt water pools there are in Central Ohio.

If its available, make sure you get the presidential suite. It is complimentary the night of the wedding, as long as it is available. If you also reserved it the night before your reception it will also give the wedding party a place to get ready the day of the wedding. Once again its these sort of items that makes things easier for you and your wedding party.
There's a range of places for people to hang out while still being part of your reception.

Insider Information About WatersEdge
They do have a lovely lakeside ceremony spot. But with I-270 right there, it can be very noisy, especially for since ceremonies tend to be quieter events. You should have microphones to make your vows heard. Most DJs can supply this for you, but we are not sure if the one that is supplied by the venue can.
The venue does supply a lot of the needed items for your special day. So it makes it easy to ‘check off multiple boxes’ like your wedding cake and entertainment. While this does tend to be a bit ‘cookie cutter’ it does make it easy. If you have a vendor that you really want to bring into this venue you are allowed to do with a very small credit applied to your balance.
The fireplace is the focal point of the room. It looks great if you add some decor lighting to it.
