Dana Horwitz
Proprietor
Choosing your venue will be the biggest decision you make in your wedding day planning. It will also be the largest expense you will incur in your wedding budget. Careful
consideration should be made to not only the time of year you want to get married but also to your anticipated guest count, budget and personal style of the wedding you envision.
Dana's experience in taking a dilapidated church and turning it into one of Windsor's premier event centres will give you great insight into what you should look for when making
the ultimate decision of choosing your wedding location.
Dana Horwitz is a transplanted Manhattanite who has living and raising five children in Windsor
for over 20 years. Her husband Larry has re-purposed numerous buildings in Windsor and when he purchased the Holy Rosary Church he had a vision he knew Dana could fulfill
in creating The Water's Edge Event Centre. Now the Water's Edge is Windsor's only award winning family owned boutique venue offering 3 unique spaces to host weddings & events.
