Offutt dropped the ball
There is zero excuse from offutt for the absolute shit show that is the shuttle system. They were expecting 200,000 people but thought to do 1 bus at a time and eventually turning people away. Then leaving, they don’t mark the stops clearly and put up zero shade to help prevent…

"I recently had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at The Waters, and I'm always blown away by how stunning the space is. The staff were incredibly welcoming and organized, not only did they check in with the wedding party but with the wedding vendors that were also there setting up, which made the entire day run smoothly.

"I recently just got married at the Waters and it was the most beautiful day. The venue was gorgeous and fit our whole nautical wedding theme. The staff at The Waters was excellent and very fun to work with. I worked alongside Abby, she was organized, answered any question we might have had, and made our day one to remember! Thank you to everyone one else we worked with as well. I highly recommend this venue for a wedding! We can’t wait to come back and visit!"
Isley Justinger
"There are not enough words to describe how perfect The Waters was for our wedding day. The lake views, stunning interior, and timeless elegance created the atmosphere we had always envisioned. From the initial tour to the last song of the night, the team at The Waters was attentive, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day unforgettable. Our event coordinator, Audrey, went above and beyond to make our day perfect. (She even let us practice our first dance on a random Thursday before the wedding!) The flow of the space allowed for a seamless transition from cocktail hour to dinner to dancing, and every detail was beautifully executed. We couldn’t have asked for a more stunning and meaningful place to celebrate our love."
