WATERMILL CATERERS

e D, the bridal attendants and Maria were all incredible from every email, tour, drop off and day especially the day of our wedding. The food was absolutely incredible people keep talking about how great the cocktail hour was. We had our party in the Astor room and the staff set everything up beautifully for us. Thanks to the Watermill for making our special day magical!!

ne was so sweet and constantly checked in on me to make sure I had everything I needed. Sean, the maître d’, was both funny and extremely professional and made sure everything ran smoothly all night. Vlad was also incredible and paid close attention to every detail. A huge shoutout to the chefs — the food was phenomenal and our guests are still talking about it! Thank you to the entire Watermill team for making our wedding day so special and unforgettable. - Maria Guevara

to the Watermill, planning for it to be the first venue we toured. After our meeting with Rob and seeing the property, we instantly knew it would also be the last. Rob made our initial visit unforgettable. He’s personable, professional, and genuinely made an effort to connect with us. We booked our wedding that very same day, and before we knew it, the big day was here. Our cocktail hour and reception were nothing short of magical. The Watermill is an absolute masterpiece in every sense—stunning atmosphere, exceptional service, and the best food we’ve ever had at a wedding (and we’re not just saying that because it was ours!). Our guests have been raving about the food ever since. From the endless cocktail hour options to the nine entrée choices during dinner, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Beyond the food, the staff truly made the night unforgettable. I felt cared for every step of the way. Christina and Francesca, my incredible bridal attendants, made sure I always had a drink in hand, food on my plate, and even helped me change my shoes when my feet started to hurt. Our maître d’ was equally amazing—attentive, organized, and ensured the entire evening ran seamlessly. To the entire Watermill team, thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams. Every detail was perfect, and we will cherish this day forever. If you’re looking for a venue that goes above and beyond in every possible way, look no further than the Watermill.

on the Donut wall as the exit station last minute. They were always available to answer any questions and had a great response time. They also did a first responder discount for us they took off some per head, which was amazing. The day of 10000/10: We worked with Nick as the Maitre D, then 2 bridal assistants, Christina and Shannon. They were all amazing, we were not used to being treated like royalty, because that is really what it was. During the pictures at the venue, Christina was literally holding our drinks, going you need a sip and holding the drink with the straw for us to sip from. Their service and attention to detail are like no other!

our reception, there was some miscommunication about our arrival time and where we were able to take photos. Maria and Nick helped us feel at ease when we voiced our concerns. Overall, we had an amazing wedding thanks to them!

n Dom were all incredible. We can't wait to attend another event at the Watermill.

with Watermill before, and highly suggested I look at it. I feel in love! Absolutely stunning grounds and everyone we talked to was very sweet and treated us like family. The week of the wedding, the staff and our Maitre d', Nick, were so accommodating. Everything from when we arrived to when we left Watermill went smoothly and perfectly. It was truly a night to remember all thanks to Watermill. Everyone raved about the food and the service. The only negative is time flew!

nation of the entire morning to evening. The service was flawles, staff were attentive, friendly, and seemed to anticipate guests’ needs before we even had to ask. Drinks were never empty, and plates were cleared with grace and timing that didn’t interrupt the flow of conversation or celebration. The food was, without exaggeration, phenomenal. Each course felt like it came from a five-star restaurant, elevated comfort with bold flavors, beautifully plated, and perfectly cooked. Whether guests were enjoying the signature filet mignon, the delicate lamb shank, or the vegetable option, everyone was raving at their tables. Even the stations during cocktail hour had people talking especially the candied bacon strips and the fall off the bone oxtail. The atmosphere tied everything together. The space was magical, romantic subtle lighting, lush floral centerpieces and a gorgeous chandelier that struck the perfect balance between elegance and warmth. The DJ had everyone on the dance floor from the first song, and the energy never let up. It felt less like an event and more like a celebration of love that we were all genuinely honored to witness. By the end of the night, every guest I spoke to said the same thing: “This is one of the best weddings I’ve ever been to.” And I couldn’t agree more. A perfect blend of heart, hospitality, and unforgettable moments. Thank you!

taff. From sitting with Rob who was amazing every step of the way in planning to working with Johnny, Christina and Elaine on our day of the entire staff went above and beyond for our special day. We toured 13 other venues before we found what we were looking for and we wish we found Watermill sooner. We did the gatsby dinner which is basically an extended cocktail hour. BEST DECISION EVER!! The stations were incredible, and our guests raved about not having to stop dancing for dinner. We also did “the works” which was amazing! An extra hour, a sea food boat, a Viennese dessert set up AND the cigar bar gave us upgrades we could only dream of. We are going to remember this night forever and we thank the Watermill for surpassing our expectations!!

ests come up to me saying that it was the best wedding food they have ever had. I am so grateful to the Watermill for giving me a smooth, easy, and wonderful wedding!!!!

nd beautifully maintained with gorgeous indoor and outdoor spaces. Our guests were blown away by the breathtaking gardens and luxurious reception areas. The team at Watermill went above and beyond to make our day flawless, handling every detail with professionalism and care. The food was exceptional, the service was top-notch, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. If you want a wedding that will be remembered forever, Watermill Caterers is the place to make it happen. Five stars all the way!

the Captain were truly so attentive and kind. Our day was perfect! Everyone raved about the delicious food and beautiful indoor and outdoor versatility of the venue. Thanks to all the staff who made our dream come true!

an absolutely flawless day! They took such great care of us, making sure we were where we needed to be...but also giving us room to enjoy ourselves and our guests. They were also incredibly accommodating when we changed our ceremony from inside to outside less than an hour before. Everyone shared with us, how much they loved the venue...and especially, the food! We would recommend The Watermill to anyone looking for a top-notch wedding experience.

if I missed spelled their names). They made our entourage feel comfortable and at ease by ensuring all our needs were met. They made my wife and I feel truly special throughout our ceremony, and they pivoted quickly to resolve any issues we encountered. An example of this is when Ericka was able to fix our cake that was delivered incorrectly by the bakery and it was not to my wife's liking. She was able to quickly remedy the situation and put a smile on my wife's face, which as a husband that is all that matters! Then there was the reception where "Captain Vlad" setup a spectacular room for us and our guests. Everything was beautiful and meticulous, and all of our guests were very impressed on how everything was so detailed. We want to also send a special thanks to Rob our Salesman, who we originally met before covid, who worked with us on rescheduling many times due to the shutdown and through illnesses our families had experienced that prohibited us to coordinate the event the last 4 years. Thank you Rob, and your special team for making or our celebration so very special and memorable with our family and friends. Thank you so much Rob, Johnny, Ericka, and Vlad for creating such a memorable moment for my bride, family, friends, and myself. We hope to see you all again on our 10-year anniversary!! Insincerely, Hugh & Tamara Morrison

venue. After booking our date, Brian was so responsive and helpful along the way with all of our questions. We then met with Nick once we got closer to solidify our menu choices and go through all other details, and anything and everything that we could've wanted was accommodated for. The day of our wedding was INCREDIBLE! Nick and his team truly made us feel like the most special people in the world. When we arrived for pictures, the staff made sure our family and bridal party were taken care for in the bridal suite and with food and drinks. They were with us throughout all our pictures and made sure we had everything we could've wanted. The service and food during cocktail hour and the reception were unbelievable. It was extra special for us to have an entire sampling of our cocktail hour put to the side for us to try since we were busy with guests during that time. There wasn't one point in the night where we didn't have drinks in our hand or weren't being cared for, and the same went for our families. Our guests are still raving about how amazing the food was - I can't wait to get invited to another Watermill wedding as a guest so we can enjoy everything all over again! We have nothing but amazing things to say and would recommend this venue to anyone. Having our wedding at the Watermill made it the most perfect day we could've imagined.

bottom, went above and beyond to be generous, accommodating, and exceed high expectations. Robert and Sean’s efforts as manager and maitre’d were absolute top tier; they acted as if it were their own children celebrating their wedding. We have also conferred with guests at every table, all of whom state the service was exceptional and everyone was satisfied every moment from start to finish. The bartenders easily managed our very many guests with ease, at no point was there a line of guests waiting to be served. Our bridal attendant, Christina, was truly phenomenal. As a busy bride and groom, she sought after all of our needs and catered to every request. She absolutely deserves all of our praise. We have been to many weddings as a couple, many at renowned venues stemming across multiple parts of the country. Absolutely nobody could match the service and food that The Watermill provides. The cocktail hour and dinner was of a superior class; our guests could not believe how delicious and well prepared the food was. From the hors d’oeuvres to the dessert and everything in between, we could not be more impressed. My wife and I will recommend The Watermill for the rest of our lives. It is a beautiful establishment with a hardworking and friendly staff. We are so incredibly grateful for The Watermill and making our dream wedding come true. Vinny M

e grounds/venue, we were treated like family. Robert, the banquet manager, was amazing and I knew from our first meeting with him that I could trust him and the Watermill with our special day. With this being said, our wedding day was even grander and more spectacular than either of us could have ever imaged. We wanted for nothing. The staff are AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. Robert, Sean and Christina are THE BEST!!!!!!!!!! We are still raving to one another about how amazing our experience with them was. On top of that, the food and drinks NEVER stopped flowing. Our family and friends are raving about the amazing food, the spectacular service, and how beautiful the grounds are. Our friends & family repeatedly tell us (and one another) that it was the BEST wedding they have EVER been to. Our day was everything and more and that was all thanks to Robert, Sean, Christina & the Watermill staff. We will recommend this venue over and over again to anyone we know tying the knot. Thank you a million times to Robert, Sean, Christina and the Watermill for the wedding of our dreams!!!!!!! We cannot thank you enough!!!! We wish we could do it over and over again until the end of time! -Lauren & Vinny Maietta

ons and more. We shortly followed in her footsteps in April 2024. Watermill is white glove service venue. The food is amazing. The endless cocktail hour options and nine entrees to choose from. Our guests are still talking about the food we were told they have never seen this much food at a wedding. We were so lucky we got married outside. The outside venue is stunning. Nick was our maitre 'D and he is amazing. My sister had him as well and he is the best of the best. Make sure to request him because you are in the best hands with him at the Watermill. We had an issue with our florist and Nick and Dom (our captain ) were on ladders 30 minutes before the ceremony started fixing the chuppah we had. Bella was my bridal attendant and she was so attentive and amazing. I can't say one bad thing about this venue. It was the most magical day as corny as that sounds. It exceeded all of our expectations and more. Watermill hands down when looking for a wedding venue.

f set up all of our decorations perfectly and worked well with our other vendors Studio 27 and Lindenhurst Village Florists. Nick our Maitre'd ensure that we did a quick procession rehearsal before the guests arrived. We had our ceremony outside and the set up was incredible. All of our guests were able to see us getting married with no visual barriers. The grounds were well maintained and full of flowers. We extended our cocktail hour by 30 minutes. The stations we selected were the bacon bar, Italian, taco and fajita, sushi and carving stations. Our guests raved about all of the food and could not get enough of it. Everything was fresh, hot and nothing ever ran out. The bar tenders were quick and made our signature cocktails perfectly. Our bridal attendant Christina was more than phenomenal. She assisted my wife with her dress, getting us drink and food refills and checked in on us throughout the day. Nick made sure everything ran smoothly and ensured our special requests were honored to the fullest extent. Our reception room was the Astor room. It was set up wonderfully and the servers were courteous to all of our guests. Dinners arrived in a timely manner and tasted great. Our cake was included with the vendor Dortoni and the cake was served with an assortment of Italian pastries coffee, tea and cappuccino. We used the donut wall as our exit station. They work with Duck Donuts and we asked them to add our personalized stickers on the to go boxes. They ensured all of our guests received one as they left. The next morning, we went back to Watermill and the staff packed up all of our decorations neatly and provided us with leftovers to take home as well as our cake top and an assortment of pastries. The staff at Watermill caterers are truly miracle workers and you will be in the best of hands if you choose to get married here.

erything went perfectly as planned. Brian worked with us to fine tune all of the specifics for our special day and made himself available at all times to answer our thousands of questions. On the day of the wedding, we were introduced to Johnny (Matre D), Erika (Bridal Attendant) & Nelson (Captain) and they truly went above and beyond to make everything perfect. We have never felt so special/been surrounded with such amazing service. They were always five steps ahead of us ensuring everything was running smoothly and most of all, that we were happy – which we were for the entire day. We are so thrilled that we decided to go with the Watermill as they made our special day absolutely amazing. We cannot recommend this venue enough! Thank you to the entire team – we will never forget you all! Kurt & Eileen

ng but amazing. All questions were answered quickly and Brian was extremely helpful. Nick was our maître D and I have to say he went above and beyond our expectations. He was extremely helpful, had our wedding extremely organized and on time. I can’t thank Nick enough! we had Christina and Dominic as our bridal attendees. Christina was absolutely fantastic! She made sure everyone was taking care of and it just blew my mind how much she was involved with making sure everything ran smoothly. She even bustled my dress! Dominic was great as well he made sure the drinks were flowing! The food was outstanding! Till this day my guests are still raving about the food and are stating that it was the best wedding they have ever been to! That is all thanks to the Watermill and the wonderful staff! I’m so happy we decided with this venue because it was perfect! Thank you Watermill!!!

g!! Christina, Bella & Nick were absolutely incredible!!! They were all professional, organized & attentive. They didn’t miss a beat. Christina & Bella were amazing with the bridal party. We all loved them!! Especially me, the MOB as I am handicapped & I was so touched by their sincere warmth, kindness much so I was not stressed out in the least. It didn’t feel like they were just doing a job it felt more like they were in the bridal party. My husband, FOB, FOG, the groom & groomsmen said Nick was outstanding. So professional, very cool, gave perfect instructions & so easy to work with. The food at the Watermill was delicious!!! I had the filet mignon, perfect medium rare!! So tender. The short ribs, sea bass, lamb, absolutely delicious!!! Best venue, best food & absolutely the best staff ever!!! Thank you Christina, Bella & Nick!!! You guys rocked it!!! XOXO Angie & Louie

as Christina and they were both amazing. Christina was at my side every second i needed something. Nick was making sure to keep everything so smooth if there was any minor issue Nick took care of it before i knew anything was wrong. From the second we booked watermill we were treated with the upmost care. I cannot recommend this venue enough

lism. He flawlessly executed every detail, ensuring that our wedding day was nothing short of perfect. It felt as if we had known Rob for years. Rob's attentiveness and willingness to go the extra mile truly set him apart. He anticipated our needs and handled every request with grace and efficiency. (Trust me when I say he was there for the many requests and second guesses) It felt like he could read our minds!And let's talk about the food! The Watermill Caterers exceeded all expectations. From the delectable cocktail hour food ( to have Haitian and Caribbean food taste like home is no small feat) to the mouthwatering main course, every bite was a culinary delight. The flavors were exquisite, leaving our guests raving about the food whenever they get a chance. The Watermill Caterers truly know how to create a memorable dining experience.We can't stress enough how Rob's expertise and attention to detail made the entire planning process a breeze. Despite the tight timeline of less than a year, he flawlessly coordinated everything, ensuring a seamless and stress-free wedding day. It rained on our special day and Rob already had a plan before we even had a chance to ask! Rob's professionalism and genuine care for our happiness were evident throughout the entire journey. We love you Rob! Our wedding day, on August 24, 2023, was a dream come true, thanks to Rob and the incredible team at the Watermill Caterers. We highly recommend them to anyone seeking a top-notch wedding experience. Trust us, you won't be disappointed!

happy we chose this venue. They did not disappoint!

was. But it all started with one phone call, I spoke with Brian, who is one of the nicest people ever. I told him that my finance and I were searching for a venue, but we were on a budget. He chuckled and said he completely understood and would love to meet us. So, we made an appointment to meet with him. At the moment that I was walking in, a bride was walking out and stopped me in my tracks to tell me how great her wedding was and how much I would love it if I had my wedding there. We continued with our appointment and was walked around by Brian through the beautiful cocktail hour room and then he showed us outside where people can get married. It was breath taking, the watermill, the gazebo, the grounds really are beautiful. Then we went back inside with Brian who showed us the menu options for the reception and the cocktail hour menu. He offered us a great deal and said, “now go on and think about it.” He truly treated us like family because he wanted us to decide together calmly, not just in the heat of the moment. Obviously, we said YES! We went through all the steps and planned our wedding with Brian who also got us our DJ. Who was fantastic as well! Amanda from in the mood DJ was such a sweetheart and so supportive of all of our wishes for our wedding. I couldn’t be more thankful for Brian introducing us, they worked together to make our special day one that we can remember for the rest of our lives. When our day came, we had Bella as a bridal attendant and Sean as a Matre’d. Bella met me at the door of the watermill to take me into my room. She was so sweet, she literally became my best friend that day, she walked us around all day before and after the ceremony. And Sean was probably the most “on point” person I’ve ever met. Sean has worked at the watermill for 26 years and literally could run my wedding in his sleep. He was beyond professional and gave our wedding his full attention all day. He even made it his job to make sure our parents had everything they needed the entire night. He was so sweet and made us feel like we had nothing to worry about all day. He made sure my finance was calm and ready to get his wife before the ceremony and truly became our friend in no time. I could keep going, but lastly, as a professional chef, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention how amazing the food was. Every family member we spoke to couldn’t stop bragging about how great cocktail hour was. I even told Brian, “Aren’t 9 menu items a lot for a reception menu” and he said, “trust me”. That’s all we needed to hear. We trusted each other and couldn’t be happier. Every menu item was cooked excellently. We loved it. Today, Thursday, I had to go and get everything that we dropped off for the wedding; Brian met us at the door with Sean and gave us a big hug and hello and helped us fill up our car and continued to thank us and tell us how much they loved working with us. So, this is my thank you to them. Brian, Sean, Bella, all the staff at the Watermill and In the Mood DJ; thank you for our day a day that exceeded our expectations and dreams of what our wedding could have been! We love you all!

w it right away. In May, while my now husband was on his bachelor trip I stopped into the Watermill unannounced to book the bourbon bar for cocktail hour- which would be a surprise to my husband on the day of. I was greeted right away by Rob and worked with him for that station, the wraps for the cigars and then the final details with my wedding. My parents also went down unannounced to see the floor plan, Rob was there and helped them with what the room would look like, where they would be sitting, where the photo booth would go, etc. Rob was extremely professional from the moment I met him, he was kind, patient and you could see the passion he had for his job. I truly felt like I was his family member. The day of our wedding Rob told my husband, our parents and myself that he will be attending another wedding that he was a guest at, can you believe that he stayed later at work to say hello and congratulations to us?! We were completely blown away! We also made a special request for Nick and Christina who are the definition of the "Dynamic Duo". There was NEVER a moment our drinks were empty, my dress got bustled right when I needed it to be, my vail was taken out without destroying my updo (I had my hair up in a bun), they brought us cocktail hour food so we had a chance to breathe, they were such a huge help and made everything perfect. When you book with The Watermill it is so much more than a wedding venue, it's a whole experience that I wish we could re-do all over again. Thank you so much to Rob, Brian, Christina, Nick and the whole rest of the staff for making our wedding night the best night of our lives!

w exactly what was going to happen during the day and made sure we were always taken care of. The property looked incredible and the food was delicious! I would recommend the watermill to anyone for events. We can’t thank Johnny and Bella enough, truly the best of the best. Both were beyond kind and helpful all night long, keeping my husband and I so happy. They basically felt like family by the end of the night. Thank you Watermill!!!

d willing to make our dream day a reality. After we booked, the same followed. They were always receptive and answered our questions right away. We worked with Nick for our wedding and I'm SO glad we did. He worked with us on our pre-wedding appointments, drop offs, walk throughs and was our Maitre D' the night of. REQUEST NICK AS YOUR MAITRE D'!!!! He perfectly executed the entire night, was SO attentive to myself and my husband, always made sure our drinks were never empty and made sure the night went without a hitch. If there were any problems that night, we have no idea because he handled them with grace and without worrying us. The cocktail hour, dinner, drinks, decor, gardens, atmosphere and environment were so perfect. I really have nothing bad to say. The captain, bridal attendant (Jessica), wait staff, valet, bartenders, and everyone in between were truly incredible. We had the time of our lives Thanks to the incredible staff at the Watermill!! I would have our wedding at the Watermill 10x over if I could!

of our wedding day. The manager who handled our organization of the wedding with them was Brian. He was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, making an appearance on our wedding day and treating us like family! Even the chefs, Joe and many others. The attendants were phenomenal in how they kept checking on us and offering us anything and everything. We stayed very on schedule and it was all thanks to them. And the food…. So many people left saying they could not believe how much food there was and how TASTY it was. I tried to explain to people that the cocktail hour is no joke! It was so warm and welcoming. Everyone had a blast and once again we could NOT have imagined a more perfect day nor anywhere else but the Watermill with these wonderful people and beautiful atmosphere. A huge thank you to all of them and I will gladly be referring anyone I know looking to get married and needing a venue. There’s no one else like them.
