While nobody can deny the beauty of lush and green outdoor ceremonies, especially here at WatersEdge, there is something so intimate and cozy about indoor ceremonies. Having a wedding venue with great options for an indoor ceremony is ideal for any couple planning a wedding, whether inside is a backup for your outdoor plans, or your preferred location for fall or winter weddings. Indoor options allow couples to have the flexibility of having a secure and guaranteed backup plan for whatever weather is thrown their way.
Luckily for WatersEdge couples, both The Cove and Lakeside have fantastic indoor ceremony spaces- leaving no couple having to worry about what their alternative option is, ensuring their day stays beautiful no matter where they are.
Continue reading below to learn more about the indoor spaces available to couples at WatersEdge and why it’s so important to have a venue where the inside is just as beautiful.
Indoor Ceremony Spaces at Lakeview
With its cozy wood tones and abundant natural lighting, Lakeview has two beautiful spaces for bringing your ceremony indoors.

Ballroom- Fireplace
Lakeview’s ballroom boasts a floor to ceiling fireplace that acts as a perfect backdrop for an inside ceremony. Additionally, the whole room is lined with windows with full views out onto the water and outdoor scenery. Our team’s favorite thing about fireplace ceremonies is how golden hour hits the fireplace at the perfect spot, creating a dreamy sunlit moment for your ceremony. Even more so, the fireplace always looks stunning when complimented by custom Fiori Florals pieces draped across it.
For ceremonies in the Ballroom, our team will take the chairs from the ceremony space and move them quickly and efficiently

Cedar Room
Lakeview’s second option for an inside ceremony space is the intimate Cedar Room downstairs- complete with bright textured wood and sliding doors that make grand entrances into this space an added bonus. The Cedar Room can host up to 160 guests seated for a ceremony.
Indoor Ceremony Options at The Cove
Lakeview’s sister venue, The Cove, also has flexible indoor accommodation for couples looking for the reliability of an inside space.

Ballroom
Our main ballroom space can seat up to 175 people for a ceremony, either California style, where guests are already seated at their tables enjoying the ceremony, or traditional aisle style facing the floor to ceiling windows! The ballroom’s abundant natural lighting allows couples to enjoy the warmth and comfort of an inside celebration while still enjoying the natural light and gorgeous views through the windows.

The Nook
The Nook is our separate event space room just down the hallway from the main ballroom. Couples really enjoy the The Nook if they are looking for a separate ceremony space that will not be flipped and transitioned before reception, as guests can just walk back down the hallway to ballroom to enjoy Cocktail Hour and the rest of the night!
The Nook’s bright walls and lighting are complemented well with bright florals detailed arches or ceremony backdrops.
No Matter the Weather, Your Day Will Be Perfect
With these wonderful indoor options at both Lakeview and The Cove, no couple should have to worry about what kind of experience they will have at a fully indoor wedding. For in-season weddings, couples who are planning on having an outdoor ceremony will have the opportunity to firmly decide on whether they want to move forward with bringing their ceremony inside up to 24 hours before the ceremony. Additionally, rain plans for your ceremony florals are available as add-ons to your wedding package through our in-house florist, Fiori Florals. By adding this rain plan package on, it ensures that someone from Fiori will be there onsite to move your florals inside on wedding day if the weather calls for an inside ceremony!
If you have any questions about what a backup weather plan or the logistics on an inside ceremony in general are, our Coordinator Team is always willing to discuss ideas and answer questions in your planning meetings to help leave you feeling confident and prepared for your wedding at WatersEdge.
