A flawless and truly amazing experience

We recently celebrated our daughter's wedding at The Watermill, and we were absolutely thrilled with the entire experience. It was a flawless day from start to finish, and the credit goes entirely to their exceptional team.
Our journey began with Rob Drago, who helped us plan the event. Rob was professional, knowledgeable, and guided us with such ease—he made the entire planning process simple and stress-free.
On the day itself, our Maitre d', Sean, was truly masterful. He ran the event with polished expertise and an incredible calm. Sean, along with our wonderful attendants, Jessica and Antonia, addressed every single one of our needs with such subtlety. They were always one step ahead, making sure not just our family, but every single guest, felt welcomed and perfectly cared for.
And we must rave about the food! It was truly outstanding. From the cocktail hour to the main course, everything was prepared and presented beautifully, drawing constant praise from all our guests.
If you are looking for an elegant, all-inclusive venue with world-class service and a phenomenal team, we highly recommend The Watermill. They gave our daughter the perfect wedding day!
Thank you!!

Best wedding ever

From the moment we walked into the Watermill, we knew it was the right place for our wedding. We got married 1/11/19 and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Planning with Tom Wright was always easy and entertaining! He was an absolute delight and felt like part of the family. On the big day, my bridal attendant Kaitlyn and maitre’d Shawn were phenomenal. I can’t say enough about them! They made our day seamless and stress free from the ceremony to our exit, and were simply wonderful. I just loved them! It’s been 2 weeks and everyone we talk to is still raving about the food. Everything from cocktail hour to the dessert bar and donut wall was outstanding. The rooms looked absolutely beautiful and captivating. It was truly the best day of our lives thanks to the exceptional and superior service at the Watermill!
