The Venue

Weddings at
Watermill Caterers

Watermill Caterers is one of Long Island's most photogenic wedding venues, a sprawling Scotto family estate on the North Shore in Smithtown, surrounded by manicured gardens, cascading waterfalls, stone footbridges, and a domed gazebo. From the marble staircase to the chandelier-lit ballrooms, it is a property built for pictures.

George Pompilio photographs one wedding per day and personally leads every wedding. At Watermill that means a photographer who knows the photography gardens, where the light falls at golden hour, and how to use off-camera flash so the ballroom feels as rich on your wall as it did in the room.

The Photography Gardens

Lush private gardens with arbors, a domed gazebo, stone footbridges, and cascading waterfalls. One of the most photogenic outdoor settings on Long Island, beautiful in every season.

The Chapels & Ceremony Spaces

Indoor and outdoor on-site chapels let you hold your ceremony and reception in one place. The outdoor pergola and garden ceremony sites photograph especially well in soft late-day light.

The Ballrooms

Newly renovated ballrooms including the Astor and Vanderbilt rooms, with Brazilian cherry dance floors, integrated lighting, fireplaces, and warm chandelier light made for dramatic flash portraits.
