We had our wedding on 6/1/24 and look back on this day with so much joy, fondness, and gratitude. Working with Mary, George, and Susan was a true pleasure and we felt so comfortable with them and trusted them fully. Our ceremony was beautiful and held outdoors. The landscape and vibrant colors are truly stunning. A peacock even made an appearance during the first look outdoors! The grounds are absolutely stunning (especially in late Spring) and provide so many opportunities for amazing photos (fountain, bridge, stairs, courtyard). The venue itself is beautiful and spacious. The Victorian aesthetic enhances the beauty and romantic charm. The dance floor was a great size and the room fit our 120 guests very comfortably. The reception room is beautifully decorated, as well as the tables. The windows (with option to close curtains) provide great natural light you are having a daytime wedding. The service at Westbury Manor was outstanding from the day 1. All of our guests raved about the food at cocktail hour and could not believe they could choose among seven options for dinner. People kept saying how this was the best food they have had at a wedding and we can attest to this. Westbury Manor and their amazing staff helped make our day perfect and unforgettable. We highly recommend having your wedding here without reservation!

One of Long Island's best-kept secrets, our sprawling estate is nestled in the heart of Suffolk County and is surrounded by manicured landscapes, winding pathways and historic architecture.

For more than 25 years, the Watermill has fostered joy and thousands of lasting memories through an unyielding commitment to providing unparalleled service, award-winning cuisine, and an unforgettable experience for each and every guest who walks through our doors.

This venue was amazing from start to finish. We met with Brian during the planning process and he was extremely helpful and generous the whole time. When planning, since it was both our second weddings, I said I didn’t want a hall. We saw a few places but when we stepped into The Watermill we fell in love with it!! We loved the relaxed feeling, the amazing aromas, the gorgeous gardens, the spacious feeling, the friendly staff, the endless amount of food!!!! We still have people raving about the food! We had several add ons and even the staff commented that they never saw so much food served at a wedding! When arriving we were greeted by our Maitre’d Sean and Bridal Attendant Morgan. They never left our side all night. They helped with every little detail and made sure our drinks were always full, our napkins were on our laps, made sure our kids and family were happy and that we were having a great time!! Morgan even helped my Mom with her shoe and found tape to put on it so it would stop rubbing. They were amazing! We took pictures outside before the ceremony and they brought out a ton of food for the bridal party and family! They were all starving so this was great!! There was also food and champagne in our bridal suite! We did a run through rehearsal and Sean whisked us away so we wouldn’t be seen by anyone. We had amazing weather so were able to enjoy our beautiful ceremony and cocktail hour outside. The amount of food at cocktail hour was insane! We didn’t get to walk around much as we were greeting guests but from what I saw and pictures people took, the food just didn’t stop! It was the best mix of everything and the stations were set up in such a fun way! The guests loved it. They were all full already!! But more food was waiting!! Next came the reception in the Vanderbilt Room. We had 200 people and still had plenty of space to move around. That was important to me. The bar was never packed as they had several people working it. I didn’t eat much that night but they did pack it up for me to eat later and it was delicious. Our guests could not get over the amount of choices they had for their dinner. They’ve never seen anything like that before. Everyone said it was great. We chose the Viennese hour for dessert and wow!!!! My husband and I sat at our table and enjoyed watching everyone go around picking dessert. I can’t even explain all the amazing choices they provided! It was beyond what we could have imagined!! The whole dance floor was surrounded by tables of amazing desserts!! And let’s not forget the donut wall and hot pretzels on the way out!! I cannot rave enough about The Watermill and the staff!! If you are getting married here you are in excellent hands. They are experts at what they do. From booking, to drop off, to the day of, everything was flawless and I couldn’t have asked for anything better!! It was without a doubt the best wedding!!!

We had our wedding at Bourne Mansion on Saturday and the venue exceeded all of our expectations. The rooms are stunning, the staff are incredible, and the food was outstanding. I cannot imagine a better place for our wedding. Miriam was amazing throughout the whole planning process and was so easily accessible for any questions or concerns. Steve Melita was unbelievably helpful and kept the night on track while still having fun! You will not regret getting married here!
