WATERMILL CATERERS

for a fall wedding. Watermill checked every box. Brian Fingerman was our consultant. He was thorough, so accessible and wonderful to work with. The staff the day of was impeccable. Katelyn was my bridal attendant, Nick was our maitre'd, and Trevor was our captain. They made sure the entire night went seamlessly. They were so attentive to everything we needed. The entire day was absolutely perfect. Thank you, Watermill!

the Watermill, Tom provided us with a very in-depth presentation on the food options, and explained the layout of the room and all the details very precisely. Great personality and truly was willing to make our special day all about making us and our guests happy. We couldn’t have been happier with working with him!

t gorgeous! The new outdoor ceremony space made for a ceremony out of a DREAM!! We loved that they had an indoor chapel in case of bad weather (thankfully we didn't need it). The gardens are beautiful and the indoor/ outdoor cocktail hour space is great! The staff had everything on point! Tom Wright our banquet manager was excellent!! So responsive and helpful with all my questions and emails. He made choosing the Watermill as our venue easy! Our Maitre D, Nick, was also excellent. We felt like there wasn't enough flowers in the ceremony space so they grabbed from the indoor space right away at our request and really made sure the night ran smoothly. I also gave a relatively detailed set up list and everything was set up perfectly. The coktail hour was spectacular and all our guests are still raving about the food. Bridal attendant (Jessica) and Captain (Vinny D)made sure we were taken care of the entire night. We couldn't be happier with our choice and if Watermill is your future venue know that you are in great hands.

l hour blew us away! Tom L, Sean, Kaitlyn and their team couldn’t have been more helpful or nice. We had a beautiful day! Definitely recommend!

ir food was amazing which is what drew us there in the first place - and it was. Tom Wright was our go to at Watermill and he was excellent, he came down to our wedding to spend some time with us too! The meetings went very smoothly and they took all our requests to heart. The cocktail hour was GORGEOUS! You could tell our guests were eating well and having fun in the beautiful room. Our Maitre'D was Sean and he was FANTASTIC. We loved talking to him, and he was very friendly. Kaitlyn was our bridal attendant and you can tell she takes a lot of pride in her job. She was unbelievable. Every 5 minutes giving us fresh drinks and making sure we were happy. Antonio was our Captain and he made sure every moving part was working correctly - and if it wasn't, we had no idea! The service was incredible, I had many family and friends also telling me that. The Vanderbilt ballroom is flawless and our guests loved it as much as we did. I HIGHLY recommend Watermill for any and every party!

re the captain and Maitre'D. We didn't need to ask for a thing, they were on top of it all! My manager was Tom Wright who was amazing and so helpful, while he was out I worked with the other Tom and Brian who also went above and beyond to make my wedding a dream come true. The outdoor area here is something out of a wedding magazine, there are definitely not enough pictures of it online, you'll just have to see for yourself. We were worried we would hear traffic noise during the ceremony outside but not one car was heard! We used the upstairs Astor room which worked out amazing, the flow from the inside ballroom to the outside deck and lounge area made it feel like an outdoor backyard wedding, string lights and all. It was a dream come true!!

the time of your life! I highly recommend!

uch a beautiful place.

as extremely impressed with the service, the beauty of the venue and the taste of the food. It was definitely a memorable evening.

ed and hard work in making my day so special. The service at the Watermill is one of the kind. My wedding was at 5:30PM, and we had a crazy thunderstorm that passed through 2 hrs before my ceremony that was at 5:30 PM. The storm didn't change anything from my out door ceremony, I was prepared to have an inside ceremony. The staff at the watermill cleared the outside space and dried the chairs in perfect timing that I could have my dream outdoor ceremony. It was perfect and my guest raved about how amazing the cocktail hour and dinner selections. If you a bride that wants a variety of food choices the Watermill is the place to get married at. We had 7 choices on our wedding dinner reception. My Matri'D was Nick-Amazing, he made sure everything ran smoothly through the who ceremony and reception. Kaitlyn my bridal attendant was such a sweet and amazing and always attending my husband & I, Vinny was amazing Captain and was Awesome! Everyone was spectacular, and what I loved most about my wedding was that the Watermill followed my instructions, I'm a planner and very detailed and they did everything exactly how I planned. I wish I could relive this day again because it truly was the best day ever! And I'm so blessed that the Watermill and their Phenomenal Team made My Husband & I's dreams come true!

me true. Throughout the planning process he helped make my vision come to life. The food was exquisite. The cocktail hour ( Which I made sure to eat at, was comparable to Epcot Center's Wine and Food festival, we had a taste of Italy, China, NY ( Carnegie Deli station) Japan and so on! JUST MAGICAL. The Watermill's new Executive Chef's dinner presentation was just as beautiful as any Michelin Star Rated restaurant. My Bridal Attendant, Caitlin catered to my every need and was there for my family too! The new outdoor space was so beautiful, it was a perfect mix of rustic and elegant. Exactly what I was going for. My vendors were unbelievable talented from Studio 27 DJ Entertainment ( I literally danced on a cloud) to our amazing Photographer Vinnie from Patken. Thank you Watermill Caterers for everything!

attendants Kaitlyn & Bella for helping myself and the girls with anything and everything we needed! Maitre D, Sean and Captain, Johnny we’re enthusiastic, personable and kept the party moving smoothly, we loved them. The support staff EXCEEDED our expectations!!! The grounds looked absolutely stunning and we utilized the outside for our ceremony and pictures. The food was to die for. Thank you to the Watermill for our amazing wedding that our guests can not stop talking about!

ony was perfect. But the best part of this whole place is the staff. All of the decorations were set up perfectly. From the minute the bridal party stepped out of the limo, we had several staff around us for whatever we needed. Need a drink? Hungry? They had us. The groomsmen said they were served food the minute they arrived. From tacos to sliders to strombolis to lambchops, the food was nonstop. The staff came around to the groom and groomsmen taking drink orders. Unfortunately the bridesmaids and bride didnt get to enjoy that part, only because the guys ran late which set back the limo getting the girls. By the time we arrived, the wedding needed to start right away. When we got to the bridal suite, there was a tray of cold meat wraps for a quick snack before the wedding started (which was perfect because the bride didnt eat much all day). The staff got us all lined up and ready to walk down. After the ceremony the bridal party stayed to take pictures then we actually got to go to the cocktail hour along with the bride and groom for a short time. The food was amazing and plentiful. When we went back to the bridal suite, there was another tray of food for all of us. Then came our entrance into the wedding. We were all so pumped up in the hallway screaming and dancing. We all made our entrance and there was a staff member telling us where to stand. The bride and groom entered under the arch of our hands. Once we were seated, our table waitress greeted us. I only remember her name because it matched her personality. Grace. She took our drink order one time. Thats all that was needed apparently because every time we got up to dance, we came back to refilled drinks at our table. I didnt need to go to the bar once. Grace came back several times to see if we needed anything. Then dinner was served. I ordered filet mignon and shrimp, and my boyfriend ordered chicken and shrimp. We each cut our meat in half and traded. everything was so juicy and flavorful. My brother said that he and his bride got to eat 3 different things off the menu and everything was wonderful. We danced all night to the music from the amazing dj. When the wedding was over, we called Grace over to thank her for everything. She gave us hugs and we headed out the door. Staff were there waiting to give us our bouquets and to make sure we had everything. It truly was a magical night and we couldnt have asked for anything more.

the wedding planning process and he was always quick to answer all emails and any questions that we had. The entire staff at the Watermill was so easy to work with. Sean was our maitre d and he was so accommodating and had us laughing all night. He really made sure our night was perfect down to every detail. Kaitlyn was my bridal attendant and I have never met someone so patient and kind. She went above and beyond for the entire bridal party with a smile on her face the whole time. I cannot thank the entire staff at the Watermill enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!

we had food and drinks and anything we needed. She also helped fix my dress after a drink spill. Our guests keep saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to. From the cocktail hour through dessert we got compliment after compliment on the food. One of our guests said he had been to 8 weddings this year and this was by far the best venue he had been to. Also, have to point out that for almost 200 people, the dinners came out so quickly. No table was sitting waiting for food while another table was already finished. We would do it all again in a second and pick the watermill over and over. THANK YOU WATERMILL!!!!

The scenery is beautiful, the staff was SO accommodating. We loved working with them. From the day we booked to the morning after our wedding when they gave us our stuff back everyone was so kind and attentive. Yes, there are two events at the same time but the staff never let's you be aware of that, they make sure you are their priority. My husband and I just keep saying that someone else we know needs to get married there so we can experience it all over again.

drinks for us and even bustled my dress for me. She made it so easy to let go and have a great night. Nick was the matrie-d. He was outstanding too. Any question we had was answered. He made all of the guest feel taken care of. Whatever needed to be done nick knew and got us to where we needed to be. Even the captain we had was so great. He wanted to make sure we never needed anything. The food was OUTSTANDING. you get so much for the cocktail hour and then the dinner was a big selection. The dessert was amazing too. It was from our local bakery, dortonis, who the watermill uses for their cakes. Our cake was amazing and so pretty. We had so many add ons and each one made the night that much better. We had churros and pretzels to exit the wedding. I just can’t say enough good things about the night or them.

a wedding. All of our guests loved the food, and still talk about how amazing the place is. Our day was so perfect - especially thanks to Sean and Kaitlyn , who were so attentive the entire night. They made sure that everything went off without a hitch, and luckily to say, that the day was pretty perfect!

g our DJ to lower the music the day of the event but there was one person that was very helpful bringing food to our room and making sure me and my husband were fine, unfortunately I do not remember her name....at the end of the night she put our stuff in the car, she was very helpful I wish I could remember her name and wish the review was directly about her. I think the tip we gave the maitre d was well earned by her...but I guess it was never shared with her.

and the overall flow of the night. We had a Christmas wedding and the Watermill was decorated so beautifully that we barely had to do anything to add to the magic of the night. My bridal assistant Katelyn needs a solo shout out because she absolutely went above and beyond. When I tell you she knew what I needed before I even knew I needed it I am being serious - she was an absolute godsend. We worked with Samantha for our invitations and also she helped guide us with other details - she was really an amazing resource as well. I can’t recommended the Watermill highly enough - you will have the wedding of your dreams!

i couldn’t have had a better experience. I am so thankful for the beautiful day at the watermill. Nick you were a doll!!!! By the way

very way! As for the food, cocktail hour was amazing (BACON BAR!) from what my guests have told us, 9 choices on the menu for the main course which is unheard of and the desserts served were excellent. We are extremely happy that we had our reception there!

orations that projected a new middle eastern theme and decor. It made my parents(yes both of them) uneasy. Unnecessary draping and gourdy mix of flowers that was NOT CLASSY at all. Are they catering to an middle eastern following. The food seemed different also. It used to have an Italian American feel now it was cold and felt like a middle eastern restaurant. I was turned off immediately I spoke to a few other brides and grooms and they cut their visit short. They also had heard it may be sold as everything has turned asian and looked very cold in decor. The vendors showed a middle eastern preference also with chairs and drape that was not not suppossed to be watermill. So GOURDY and mpore over UGLY.

uest could not stop talking about the Food and Service they received. Special shout out to Katelyn, Nick, and Jonathan. They really when above and beyond for my Husband and I, they made us feel like royalty.

he ceremony in the chapel to the final song in the Vanderbilt Room, it was everything we could have ever imagined and then some. To those fortunate enough to be searching for a wedding venue, The Watermill is a must to tour at the very least. Five stars, can't thank you all enough.

The Watermill blows away all the other venues we saw. And it smells great too! The lighting, the champagne tree, and the food were spectacular! I feel I need to write more... 20 appetizers, 5 stations for cocktail hour, 10 choices for dinner!! Open bar, specialty drinks, and chocolate shot glasses with dessert. They added mint chocolate chip ice cream at the dessert bar just at my request. We had our own personal chef, waiter, and a bridal attendant. They were all so nice and accommodating. People said it was the best wedding they had ever been to! Thank you so much Watermill!

knew this was our venue. 2 years of planning flew and the day went with ZERO issues! Kaitlyn was our bridal attendant (highly recommend!, she was absolutely amazing), Sean was our Maitre d and Danielle our captain. They all went above and beyond. Our guests are still calling from our December 1 wedding ranting and raving about the food and service. One thing that is consistent that we keep hearing is how amazing the bacon bar was, it was so different and delicious! All the staff went above and beyond for us and our guests. Thank you all for making our wedding one we will never forget. Those who are thinking about booking, this should be a new brainer for you because you don’t have to worry your entire night and enjoy your wedding. Thank you again Tom L and the entire watermill staff! Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

t with Tom L and he was so helpful throughout our entire process, always answered any questions we had and was so accommodating. Kaitlyn and Sean our bridal attendant and Matri’d were nothing short of amazing, helped us with everything I never knew I needed help with from bustling my dress for me to making sure we always had a full drink at our table. Our day was perfect and I would recommend the watermill over and over again!

d. My bridal attendant Kaitlyn was beyond excellent and made myself and my family so comfortable. I would 100 times over recommend the Watermill for your next event!

ss, design and atmosphere. No other venue we had seen even came close to comparing! We booked with Tom, who made us feel so welcome and always greeted us (and every little question we had) with a smile. My husband and I had our wedding reception in the Vanderbilt room this past July 2018, and the entire day was a dream come true. Almost three months later, we are still getting compliments about the fantastic food and cocktail hour! We love the Watermill for the variety of food they offer, as well as the exceptional quality. Our guests cannot stop raving about how delicious everything was, how beautiful the venue is, and what a great time they had. Our bridal attendant, Jessica, was absolutely phenomenal. Every time I turned around, she was never far behind for anything I might need – from so quickly bustling my dress before our entrance (and re-bustling after some dancing!), to getting down on her hands and knees to help me bandage my slightly sore toe so I could keep dancing! Jessica would gracefully and effortlessly sweep in before *I* even knew I needed anything – for example, when my husband and I were introduced and entered the room, she swiftly reached out and took my bouquet so my hands would be free for our first dance (avoiding the often-awkward look around from the bride as if to say “Where can I put these?!”). She was extremely professional, friendly, and there to help with anything my husband, our families, and I needed to make sure we enjoyed our wedding day. Jessica was such a joy, and has a true gift for the hospitality industry. I wouldn’t be surprised if she is running her own place someday! Our maitre’d, Rich B, helped the evening run so smoothly. He was waiting right at our limo door when we arrived at the Watermill to introduce himself, show us to the bridal suite, and make sure we were taken care of from start to finish. He ensured that my husband and I were walked through the cocktail hour and reception room before the guests (a request by my husband and me, so we could enjoy and appreciate every detail of the room). Rich kept us aware of everything going on, made sure our glasses were never empty, and coordinated with our great captain (Anthoni) to make sure the entire evening ran smoothly, and make sure we did not have to worry about anything. Our guests all had such wonderful praise to share for the immense courtesy, attentiveness, and accommodating natures of the wait staff during the reception. Everyone we worked with at the Watermill throughout wedding planning was a pleasure! Samantha is a wonderful and knowledgeable resource, and was so helpful in helping us choose our invitations and in taking care of all the small details. Every staff member made us feel at home when we visited for wedding appointments throughout our planning period. My husband and I are now hoping to be guests at a Watermill wedding in the future, so we can enjoy the incredible venue again! We cannot express strongly enough how much we would recommend the Watermill. For a wedding, or any event, the Watermill team’s level of service, attention to detail, professionalism, compassion, and care is above and beyond.

on her wedding day we had the best experience. The bridal attendant, Devon, and the Maitre d, Sean, met us at the door and were with us for the entire event! They took care of every detail and were so attentive. The food and service were superb! We couldn't have asked for a better day!!! I highly recommend the Watermill for any event!!

etting the tour and sitting with Tom Lauterborn my fiancé and I fell in love with the venue. We were shocked with all of the cocktail hour and dinner food choices. We also loved the fact that if our outside plan of a ceremony were to fall through because of weather the inside chapel room was still pretty perfect. We had learned looking at other venues that most will pull down a curtain in the reception room and we loved how the Watermill had a separate room. We were given a few fall dates to work with so we were so happy all the pieces were coming together. My husband and I decided to take a few days and look at some other venues but ultimately we knew the Watermill was the place for us. The planning process went pretty well over the next year. Whenever I had a question or concern I would email Tom and would very quickly get a response back. The actual day of the wedding went amazing. My husband, me ,our immediate family and bridal party were first greeted by the matre d Sean and bridal attendant Kaitlin both who were amazing. Sean was fabulous and attended to every need and kept such great order. I can not say enough about Kaitlin. Immediately once I arrived after a few hours of pictures at another site of course I had to use the bathroom. She helped me in and out of the dress then and all night. I felt awful having her have to help me but all night she did and offered so much through the night .She had wine when I needed it, my lipgloss, held my very heavy bouquet, and just anything myself or anyone else needed was right on top of it. I cannot even begin to say enough about her. So much so I went back the next morning to tip her more. I couldn’t have had a better day and I know that if it wasn’t all planned at the Watermill I don’t think my day would have went as smooth!

everything I requested and promised was executed, and my bridal attendant, Kaitlyn, was an absolute doll who was there at every turn to help and offer me anything I may have needed throughout the evening. We were overwhelmed with genuine amazing feedback by our guests and were told by many that it was the best wedding they had ever been to! My husband and I would highly recommend Watermill Caterers for booking your wedding (or any other type of event - it's a beautiful space and everyone is a pleasure to work with)!

Johnny was great and was on top of everything during the reception. Devon my bridal attendant was amazing!! She truly took care of both of us from the moment we stepped into the Watermill until the very end of the night. Everyone in our bridal party loved her! The entire staff worked together like a well-oiled machine – we can’t thank them enough! As for the venue itself the renovations are absolutely gorgeous and fit our style completely- we knew it was the perfect place for us! Everything feels so modern and romantic and classy. The gardens are beautiful and we thankfully had perfect weather to have the ceremony outside (they do have an indoor chapel as well in case of bad weather, which is also gorgeous). The food is outstanding and that is really hard to come by. The cocktail hour options are all delicious and our guests were provided a menu that had 10 options to choose from for dinner. We had so many guests coming up to us saying they were blown away by all the food and how delicious everything was! We were not only incredibly happy with how Watermill treated us, our bridal party, and our guests but also how well they worked with ALL of our vendors to make the amazing night come together. The staff was such a pleasure to work with on all levels and if we had to go through the process again we would pick Watermill every time. We highly recommend using Watermill - and if you are on the fence about making the choice, trying the food at one of their showcases should put you over.

delicious it was - something that doesn't always happen when cooking for a large amount of people. The new ballroom is stunning and we barely needed any directions. And most of all, the staff were very helpful and helped make our day perfect! If you're looking for a beautiful Long Island venue, I highly recommend the Watermill!

sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish made this most important event in our lives a truly spectacular evening to remember and treasure. We’re still getting calls from guests saying it was the best wedding ever! We wholeheartedly agree! If you’re planning a wedding or special occasion, call Brian at the Watermill!

s fingerprints and attention to detail are all over the Watermill. The gardens are breathtaking, and we were fortunate that after a week of rain, we were able to have the ceremony outside. It's absolutely beautiful. Guests were welcomed with a champagne tree, and following the amazing ceremony, they were treated to an unbelievable cocktail hour. The food, stations and presentation were all fantastic. Several people came up to compliment us on it, and said they "couldn't possibly eat all this wonderful food." I realized they didn't know there was a sit down dinner following, and I suggested that they pace themselves. The dinner was incredible. Five entree choices - all wonderful. The Watermill offers a passing dessert presentation - the waitstaff just keeps bringing out breathtaking desserts! We also had a cappuccino/cordial bar. Everything was superb, and a big hit. As guests were leaving, there was a donut wall with some really amazing donuts. There were toppings on these donuts you won't see at Dunkin or Krispy Kreme! A word about the staff: from the maitre D to the banquet captain, to all of the servers, and especially Kaitlyn, who was my daughter's bridal attendant - and who doubled as our waitress - they were all so accommodating, polite, profession and anticipated our every need. I felt that with Kaitlyn at our table, I had a personal concierge the whole evening. I can't recommend Brian Fingerman and the Watermill highly enough. A friend of mine whose family is in the wedding business called a couple of days afterward to say that she was blown away by the affair: she said everything was flawless. And it was.

hank Watermill's whole staff for everything!

dealt mostly with Tom Latimore as our banquet manager and we can just tell he was so genuinely excited for us to take this new step. He always had a smile on his face and never made us feel like we were asking silly questions or too many questions. His door was always open and phone line never busy for us. I believe he makes all his brides and grooms feel this way. Our Maitre D was Nick and he was great. If anything went wrong on our wedding day, we didn't even know it. My bridal attendant was Jessica and she was phenomenal!! This girl was on her hands and knees to fix my bustle that broke, she was even on her hands and knees to help change me out of my heels to my sneakers because I could not bend down in my dress! She took care of our families and they loved her! Jessica made sure my little ring boy with terrible food allergies, was taken care of. Everything was made special for him and she made sure to tell him what on the table he could or could not eat. She was truly a rockstar and we loved her. Our entire event was absolutely wonderful and it's thanks to the staff at Watermill Caterers. If we could do it all again, we wouldn't hesitate to choose them. All brides, I promise you're in amazing hands with them!!

e when we needed something! Rich was our captain and ensured we were always taken care of! The entire group was fantastic. Our guests cannot stop talking about how beautiful the entire reception was and how great the food was! It was endless, phenomenal food!! Not a detail was left forgotten. The entire day was perfect and the Watermill and their staff played a huge role in that!

f you are looking for a full-service venue with a modern aesthetic and amazing food (and lots of it!) this is it. They are truly experts at what they do. THANK YOU, WATERMILL!!

2/18 the Watermill provided us with the best night of our lives. Our maitr'd, bridal attendant, captain,and the rest of the staff treated us with such care, respect, and made sure we were HAPPY. Not only us, but also made sure our guests had everything they needed...guests are still raving about the cocktail hour a month later!! Thank you Watermill. -

away by how gorgeous it was. Our day was absolutely perfect. I cannot say enough about how amazing our entire experience was with The Watermill. Our wedding day was as perfect as it can possibly get. Everything was phenomenal; the service, the staff, the food and drink. Our guests continue to rave about how great everything was. I would absolutely recommend this venue. They made my dream wedding a reality and my husband and I are so happy with our decision. This venue was everything we could have hoped for.

us! Everything just got better from there, everyone we worked with were so professional and so caring of what we wanted. They made anything we had to take care of so easy to get done and so organized. They also let us add personal touches throughout the entire reception! Coming from big Italian families, food was very important to us, and there are only positive things to be said! From the creative cocktail hour selections, to the long list of dinner choices and the beautiful Viennese hour, people are still telling us how amazing everything was! The night of the reception, we were so lucky to have the amazing bridal attendant, maitre'd, captain and servers all making the night seamless and special for everyone there!

day was stress free for the both of us. Kaitlyn, my bridal attendant was phenomenal. She made sure I was never thirsty or hungry and even helped me change out of my heels when my feet were starting to hurt! The bustle on my dress broke at one point and she was ready to fix it with white safety pins! Sean, our maitre'd was great! He made sure the entire day went off without a hitch, and kept everything running so smoothly. All of the food was amazing, and it just kept coming. Some of the guests thought that the cocktail hour was the main dinner since there was so much food and so many options. The bacon bar was a huge hit! Dinner was great and Antonio, the captain made sure everyone was taken care of. The best decision we made while wedding planning was choosing the Watermill. I wish we could do it all over again and we really hope some of our friends get married here so we can come back!

Nick. Our ceremony and reception went seamlessly. And after, we received many compliments from our guests about the venue, food, and the service. We can't thank the Watermill team for making our dream wedding a reality. We highly recommend the Watermill!

he was so sweet, very attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly!!!. Our Bridal attendant went above and beyond as well!!! Some people are turned off by venues with more than one wedding at a time, but i hardly even knew another wedding was there. Thank you to the Watermill for making our Happily Ever After one we will never forget!!! i have nothing but great things to say!!!

r pictures and then hung out in the bridal suite during the cocktail hour where we were served large platters of the cocktail food, drinks and were able to relax. During the wedding, we were catered to like a Queen and King. The food was outstanding. The room was gorgeous. I highly reccomend the Watermill if you are looking for a classy place with good food and

he day, i found it very difficult and stressful to coordinate and plan with the senior business "sales" staff. Unfortunately, i felt like i was buying a car and they constantly tried to upsale me.

either seen before or were very willing to figure out. Even when I was acting like a nervous bride, calling and emailing, they answered all my questions and put me at ease. That said, the venue itself is BEAUTIFUL. It even rained on my day and there were plenty of gorgeous areas to take shots that weren't in their gardens. Got TONS of praise on the great food and drink (which it really is - major props to the bacon bar). As the bride, while I got to sample things I was running around so much I didn't get to go too crazy during the cocktail hour (if possible I would suggest going to one of the Watermill's quarterly Showcases where you can try all the cocktail hour food). 2 weeks later everything is STILL talking about this great food and venue. Thank you!! A++

e would argue that their extensive wedding experience is one of their greatest strengths. Let's face the facts, we won't be the first or the last people getting married so why not go with a place with people that are well experienced in putting on a wedding. Our first meeting with a representative of The Watermill was with Tom, one of the sales managers. His tour coupled with his candor and helpfulness in answering our questions helped seal the deal in choosing our wedding venue. They offer reasonable quarterly payments up until the final payment due shortly before the wedding day. Their professionalism was highly appreciated throughout the whole process. While The Watermill doesn’t allow tastings of the food specific to your wedding, they do offer complimentary tickets to their wedding showcases (usually one per quarter) where you can try their food. I was never able to go but one of the most frequent comments from our guests on our wedding day was how amazing the food was. We also dealt with Brian, director of sales, as our wedding got closer. Brian helped us finalize the details and was extremely communicative and interactive to our many last minute unforeseen needs. And finally, the day of. Our Maitre’d was Sean, with Caitlin assisting as bridal attendant and unfortunately I must apologize for forgetting the name of our wonderful captain. The entire staff at the Watermill was so accommodating to our every need. From Caitlin offering us glasses of water as we were taking pictures, to constantly helping with my wife’s dress, the staff really did think of everything we could possibly need. As with most other couples, we did not have a chance to eat that much during cocktail hour but Sean and his staff ensured that there was a smorgasbord of food waiting for us in the bridal suite once we were done with pictures. Sean was also very accommodating to our day-of timeline which was very specific. I would not hesitate in recommending Watermill Caterers to any couples looking for a venue to celebrate their wedding day. Their price is reasonable, their service impeccable, and their food delicious. I am a very discerning customer and can be quite picky with where I spend my money. I can confidently say that Watermill Caterers met all of my expectations and more! Thanks to Brian, Tom, Sean, Caitlin and everyone else who helped plan and execute our special day.

ill raving about our cocktail hour! The grounds and recent renovation look spectacular and are well maintained. Highly recommend!

ut how much fun they had and how beautiful the Watermill is. Brian, Tom, & Samantha were the absolute best and I'm so happy we chose the Watermill to host our wedding.

ue to make our wedding the best day of our lives!

away by a friendly receptionist. We mainly worked with Tom Wright, who was nothing but professional, accommodating, and friendly throughout the entire process from beginning to end. The day of the wedding, everything was set up perfectly and the entire staff was excellent. Always on point, accommodating to every guest, and as nice as can be. Sean was our maitre d. He was excellent! He helped me carry my dress while walking around to take pictures, offered us drinks, and made sure we had everything we needed or wanted almost immediately upon asking. Kaitlyn was our bridal attendant who was also amazing. She not only helped my husband and I, but also the entire wedding party throughout the whole night. She was the best!!! On top of amazing service, the food was top notch. Everything from cocktail hour, to dinner (10 choices!!!) to dessert was delicious. We continue to hear compliments about the decor, service, and food from all of our guests. Honestly there isn't a thing we would have changed. The place and the staff are absolute perfection! We will be recommending the Watermill for years to come!!

o go, whether it was the bathroom, the outside area to take pictures with my photographer, Sean held the bottom of my dress for me, and Jackie was right there to ask if myself or anyone in my family or immediate bridal party needed a drink. In my bridal suite there were appetizers so we didn't go hungry before the cocktail hour/reception started. The flow of everything was absolutely perfect. The set up of everything was perfect. I wouldn't have changed one thing about the way they organized the personal things I dropped off to the venue. The food at the dinner was so tasteful and the presentation was incredible. The captain, my personal waitress at the wedding, Danielle, was so friendly and quick if I needed anything. Tom Wright is a rockstar! He is a superstar manager and returns every phone call immediately, answers every email, and every question, provides great advice, and makes you feel so welcome and that this is the perfect venue choice for you. I couldn't have chosen a more perfect venue for my wedding and will keep raving about The Watermill for anyone who asks!!!

nd interior are fantastic and made for pleasant inside/outside affair. If you have any thoughts of booking The Watermill, run there because I'm sure they're going to have trouble finding an opening for you.

r budget. He was also very responsive to emails and phone calls and willing to answer all of our questions as they came up. Fast forward to the day of and everything was gorgeous. They walked us through each room prior to opening it to our guests and it was above and beyond what we expected. I've heard from everyone that the food was exceptional and the staff was extremely attentive. Our bridal attendent (Jackie) and our Maitre D (Rich) were amazing and made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. I had high expectations for the venue and I must say they definitely exceeded them.

event during the planning and I wish I'd put my stress aside and believed him. On the day, the food was spectacular, the decor beautiful, and the service provided by every one of their staff exceptional. In particular, the Bridal Attendant (Kaitlin), Maitre D' (Monika), and Captain (Danielle) provided by them to manage my wedding party and the event were incredible. They did everything possible to give us a lavish and smooth event. I feel that we got back 3x what we paid them. As we chose to have our event on a Sunday afternoon, we paid a slightly lower fee than at a peak time, yet they treated us like we were their most important clients. The food, ceremony space, cocktail hour space, reception space, furnishings, silverware, and cake were all included in the price, which made planning so much easier. They were respectful and genuine on the day, sharing in our joy and helping us through our important day. They also did a great job working with us over email and Skype, as we live in China and flew in for the wedding. I will say that it made it easier that we didn't have any major special requests or deviations from their set menu or planning. I think if we had big changes, it would have been less easy to organize everything. I recommend capitalizing on their expertise and going with their suggestions- they are excellent and your wedding will go wonderfully.

nswer questions we had along the way. He helped us select a package that fit our overall needs. The packages were completely customizable (e.g.: we created a Caribbean station for cocktail hour) and there were options for many exquisite additions (e.g.: ice sculptures, chocolate fountain and to-go station of cookies and brownies). Along the way we worked with other members of Watermill staff (Samantha and Tom) who were equally helpful and accommodating. The day of our wedding Richard and Jen ( our Maitre,D and Bridal Attendant) did not leave our sides. They made sure not only the groom and I, but our entire bridal party (approx 30 people!) were fed and well taken care of. Their service was speedy and efficient throughout the night. We received many compliments about the food and how good it was. It was truly a night to remember. I highly recommend the Watermill for anyone who wants an exceptional venue with exceptional service and food.

it's marble floor and everything looks so new and clean. Brian gave us a tour of the rooms and the beautiful garden/cocktail area. I was already imagining how perfect it would be to take photos at the different areas. My family was also fortunate enough to attend their Bridal Showcase which was hands down one of the best cocktail spreads i've ever had. They had a sushi station (with soft shell crab!), FRESH mozzerella station where it's literally still warm from just being made, the delicious brisket carving station (i would have chosen this + my obligatory lechon option), and of course the desserts. My siblings and I LOVED the chocolate shot/cordial bar which I will make sure I have at my wedding. When I asked for a cotton candy machine (i know, im an adult asking for a kids station- but hey, it's my day! lol), he really assured me that he'd take care of it. I have no doubt that if I chose Watermill as my venue, Brian and his staff would have been so accommodating and professional. This weekend, we decided to choose another venue which only allowed 1 event the whole day which I didn't realize would play such an important factor in my decision in picking my venue, but it did. Thank you Brian for your very reasonable offer and I hope that I can come by again for future parties!

g my complicated dress to fixing a rip in my dress. She was amazing! I asked the Watermill before hand to please not have Christmas decorations in our ceremony & reception room and they removed it all for the day of our wedding and never even hesitated. The whole staff was so pleasant and they made booking with them the easiest part of my wedding. The venetian table display was even a surprise to me and my husband. I've never seen anything like it! They rolled out all the tables at once on the dance floor with shooting sparklers all around it. I would recommend the Watermill for any bride. The decor is so chic and beautiful. We also got married in the Chapel on site, it was gorgeous and the whole event was seamless. The Maitre' D was on top of making sure every vendor was there on time. Overall I could not have asked for anything more from them! Amazing!

ing we could need and we were a lucky couple that we got to enjoy the delicious food at our wedding. The Watermill is newly renovated with absolutely gorgeous ballrooms, the food is outstanding (we got SO many compliments on the Bacon Bar!), and the staff makes sure that you have the best day of your lives.

ause I could really envision myself getting married there and that I was really getting married to the love of my life!) There were so many ways the Watermill helped us out even months before the wedding with Bridal Showcases and even assisting me with the creation of the wedding invitations. Their staff is top notch and they go out of their way to ensure that everything is taken care of--the chef called wedding guests who had specific dietary needs prior to the wedding to see what they would like to have. On the day of the wedding, the staff was so attentive and on top of their game. People raved about how delicious the food was in the cocktail hour (honorable mentions--the bacon bar and mashed potato bar) and the reception (the 10, count them 10 standard entrees). Thank you so much for helping our wedding come to life, it was the best day of our lives!!

g!! The food was outrageous and we kept getting compliments all night about how amazing everything was and fun! You're in great hands if this is your venue!

during our wedding planning process and he was always available to answer any questions we had. The venue is beautiful and he food was delicious as well! I would definitely recommend the Watermill to any bride getting married!

the day of staff that we worked with were truly wonderful. Richard (maitre' d) and Jenn (our bridal attendant) kept the whole day running smoothly. I felt so taken care of and they were a pleasure to have alongside us. As well as all the other staff members who I sadly don't remember all their names - from the bartenders, captain of the wait staff, the wait staff, the parking attendants - everyone was simply fabulous. I am so happy we decided to have our wedding at the Watermill!

not have been happier. Tom was amazing and I highly highly recommend him. He went above and beyond for us. I believe I’m a perfectionist and he met every dream I ever had and beyond that. Tom is an absolute pleasure and I just can’t say enough about him. Also Samantha was amazing as well!! She helped with our wedding invitations which were stunning. She is the sweetest! Our wedding was right after all the renovations and let me tell you the Watermill is insanely gorgeous. Our cocktail hour was outside and it was incredible, everyone is still talking about it and how can I forget the BACON BAR. The bacon bar was such a hit at our wedding! Also our cake came out just how we dreamt. The staff was incredible and words can’t describe how truly great they were. Paul and I had the pleasure of working with Dave, Rich, and Kaitlyn. Let me tell you, nothing short of perfection. They went above and beyond for us. I can’t tell you enough how incredible the Watermill is. Not only is it a GORGEOUS venue the staff is UNBELIEVABLE. The menu as well is amazing! Your guest will have so many choices, perfect for all types of eaters. Paul and I would love love love to relive this day again. I felt like a princess the whole day, our fairytale began at the Watermill. Love, The Pfeifers

mix reviews and was nothing like what we tried during the trial dinner. My real issue was leading up to the wedding they were slow to respond to emails never contacted me when the person we were dealing with left for good. I know at the end of the day this is a business where they make money but the least they can do is have better customer care leading up to the wedding. I kept getting different answers for everything. No you can't have this then someone else would say we can or vise versa. Everything ended up working out but communication from management was frustrating.
