The Watermill Center
Wedding venue in Water Mill, New York
About The Watermill Center
The Watermill Center is an arts and humanities center on more than ten wooded and landscaped acres on Long Island’s East End. Its rental program lists intimate weddings and engagement parties. The Center is used year-round for artistic and educational programming, so only a limited selection of rental dates is available in June and September; rental proceeds support its artist residency and education programs. Indoor options include the Summer Office, a 2,970-square-foot gallery opening onto the South Lawn, with capacity for 150, and the 2,373-square-foot Main Studio, also with capacity for 150. The Dining Room overlooks a stone courtyard and seats 16–40. Outdoor options include dining tables for 100, the South Lawn for weddings and tented events, and a graveled West Terrace suited to larger events, tents, and additional parking. Two tree-lined outdoor stages seat 50-plus and 20. The grassy, apple-tree-lined terrace at the Clementine Hunter House is suited to receptions and ceremonies. Tenting is available in some areas and unavailable in others; the rental descriptions also identify accessibility limitations by space. The main building is accessible by a ramp from the north-side parking lot. With advance notice, the Center can provide ASL interpretation, large-print materials, and scalable PDFs.
