“We got married 1/5/25 but had been working with Miriam for probably a year and a half before our big day. She was always so personable with us a treated us like family. Words cannot describe the love and care we felt from Jake, our maître D and Samantha, our bridal attendant, on our wedding day. We were cared for tediously and effortlessly. We felt like at ease, happy and totally relaxed. I needed Samantha and didn’t even know it, I am forever indebted to her - she could not have been more attentive and wonderful. Comforting me, assuring me, getting me where I need to be and when. So friendly, kind and amazing. Thank god for Jake. He is so special and we’re so lucky we got him as our maître D. He deems himself as a “yes man” and he is not lying. Anything you could have ever wanted from him, he’d deliver. We wanted for nothing, had wonderful direction from him all night and he took care of EVERYTHING!  The night was flawless, amazing, perfect and all we could have ever hoped for. The staff at Bourne is unmatched, we made the right choice with this venue. Guests will be in awe of the venue and talk about the food for years to come. I wish I could do it all again. Thank you Bourne mansion & staff for the best night of our lives! I don’t have all my pics back yet!”

“I just got married at this venue on 8/31/25. I was the second wedding after all the renovations made, and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Mirian and Meg. If i can rate them & their staff alone it would be 10 stars. They were so attentive, helpful, professional, and kind. They didn’t only treat me (the bride) or the groom this way, they treated everyone with the utmost respect and amazing service. Sofia was in my care, who was the sweetest person and did everything for me that day. Meg was my maître d and she was so attentive and fun to be around. She pulled strings to make sure i got the most insane pictures and i couldn’t be more grateful that i had someone as great as her attending to me and my new husband! Mirian was the head person in charge before the wedding and she made everything so easy! She dealt with my vendors and made everything possible. she made sure my vision came to life and i really appreciate everything she did for me and my fiance as she made it possible. We met with her two weeks before the wedding, she helped me organize everything and even gave me very cute last minute ideas!! Meg and Mirian were the best two people to deal with i recommend anyone getting married here to push for them for their wedding day too. You know you have amazing staff too when your whole wedding and wedding party know them by name and mention that they loved them. The food was TO DIE FOR!! at one point after pictures, meg and sofia made sure me and my husband sat down for a moment to eat, which was super helpful and thoughtful. The food was amazing, everyone complimented it. Everyone raved about how good the meat carving station, seafood and pasta stations were. Everyone raved about the entrees and dessert as well. I cannot wait to go back and visit this place. It was so special, the vibe, overlooking the water. it made my fairytale wedding come to life. It wasn’t only the venue, it was definitely the people who worked there. Mirian and Meg, thank you so very much for making my wedding so memorable for me, my husband, and our whole family.”

“From the moment we saw the outdoor ceremony space, we knew The Watermill made the top of our list. We got so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the venue was and on how good the food was. In particular, the cocktail hour food got the most compliments. The team was great to work with, though there were some miscommunications as we got passed along from person to person getting closer to our wedding. One person would say they had frames for our signature drinks sign so we didn't need to get any while the next person said they didn't supply that. We were also of the understanding that we wouldn't be seeing any other party when we arrived, but there was another group out on the patio when we went to do our first look. I found out after that there was another party that was supposed to have left, but they didn't yet. Still, the team made sure to usher everyone away so we could have our space for our first look and we didn't see anyone other than our own party for the rest of the night. I have to give kudos to the team for stepping up when we had a medical emergency. Someone in my family needed medical attention during the reception (he was okay!) and even though my husband and most of his wedding party were medics, the staff was very attentive and made sure everyone was taken care of. Once we knew everyone was okay, Nick was very helpful in getting us back on track and getting us back in party mode. I appreciate him staying calm in that situation and making sure everything else kept running smoothly. Elaine was amazing. Every time I turned around she was there asking if I needed anything to drink, making sure I had food and was a huge comfort. I've heard that most couples don't get to eat at their own weddings and we had the complete opposite experience. Between her and my day-of coordinator, I felt so taken care of and truly appreciated everything. A DIY girl, I also made our centerpieces which did require some assembly. Shout out to the team for setting everything up the way I imagined and for helping us to have our nerdy wedding. I also appreciated that Nick got in on the fun with a Harry Potter tie clip to go with some of our centerpieces. Overall it was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend Watermill Caterers. I would just advise taking notes and staying on top of communication leading up to the big day.”

“Let me start by saying it’s been almost 2 weeks since our wedding at Stonebridge and Matt and I are still on a high! What made us love Stonebridge was the openness of the ballroom with all the beautiful windows. It didn’t feel like your typical ballroom, it felt open and airy. We started the planning process with the lovely Diana who made us feel so comfortable. Whether it was planning details or asking questions, we always left conversations with Diana feeling so excited! She really brings the energy and makes you feel so special. She has an eye for what works, what doesn’t and gives you the best tips and tricks. We are so grateful we had Diana throughout this process!! I HIGHLY recommend getting ready at Stonebridge’s beautiful, gigantic bridal suite the morning of the wedding. My mom, bridesmaids, flower girls and I were so obsessed with all the space to get ready, multiple bathrooms, bedrooms and the windows (they brought in so much light the pictures are amaaaaazing!) I had 3 girls doing our hair and 4 girls doing makeup, my mom and I, 14 bridesmaids, 1 MOH, and 2 flowers girls and we had more than enough room to get ready. Since we had an army of girls I loved that we were able to get there early. We were greeted by Dee the bridal attendant who made sure we had a smooth, fun morning. She was very attentive to us girls and ready with champagne whenever! Terrence is the MAN! Best maitre d hands down. He made sure everything ran smoothly with timing and always kept us hydrated with drinks and water on the dance floor. He truly brings the energy and makes sure you have the best day! We had so much fun with him! Diana, Terrence, Dee and the wait staff truly made our day feel like a dream! They went above and beyond and made sure every detail no matter how big or small was cared for. We are forever grateful for the most perfect day. Our family and friends raveddddd about the delicious food, cocktail room, ballroom and just overall how warm and beautiful Stonebridge was. THANK YOU STONEBRIDGE!”
