Of the two I've only ever been to Leaonard's, and I thought it was pretty nice. Can't comment on the Watermill though.
I am a Leonards bride so naturally I am going to choose Leonards. I was to a wedding there in July and it was the nicest wedding I have been to. I have been to JT and was the worst food and experience I have had at a wedding. HOWEVER, I am sure there are people that have had wonderful experiences at JT and bad experiences at Leonards. No matter how many reviews you look at, you are going to find mixed reviews on everything. No place is going to have spotless record, because we live in a world where nothing is perfect. Now comparing the Watermill to Leonards is like comparing apples and bananas. The only similarity they have is that they are both catering halls. They are both beautiful places, but totally different. I have been reading the boards for a long time now, as I have been engaged since last September. I don't always comment but in this case I felt compelled to. I am not sure why the original posted brought up this topic to begin with. I am pretty sure she is booked at Leonards, so unless she is thinking about changing halls, what would be the point? In my opinion, we've all picked the halls that we did because we fell in love with them. You should not pick a hall because of what other people think, it should be something that you know in your heart is right. That's the reason I picked Leonards. I love it there, others might not. And that is ok, but there is no reason to slam one hall because you favor one more than the other. That will only contribute to a war of words in here and I really don't think that anyone wants that.

I got married at Leonard's and I loved it. The food is amazing there. As far as being guidoish I tend to disagree. l think the appropriate name would be elegant and classy.
As far as Watermill I heard it is a beautiful place but I also heard that the food is not too good!
I think people have different taste on here about what is good and not good, what is classy and what is tacky. I guess the best thing to do is to go with your gut when you are searching for a reception hall! goodluck!!
I've never been to Leonard's, and I had an amazing wedding, so I'd have to say....Watermill!
I am saying watermill hands down...I am biased though... I am getting married there. Honestly it is all up to personal preference! I have been treated awesomely...is that a word...great by all the BM's there. I have had nothing but a pleasant experience thus far...

actually I went to a wedding there a few weeks back.. and the food was horrible. I had to go to mcdonalds to eat after the wedding. the guests were all standing in the lobby just loitering waiting for the place to open up the ceremony room.

You would think I would bc my one and only sibling got married there (Leonards) but......naaaaah
And yes, in Fact Leonards was featured in the Sopranos...... last season the character Johnny Sac's daughter got married and there were several scenes with Tony and fam attending the over-the-top typical godfather-esque wedding at....low and behold....Leonards of Great Neck!!!!!
Id say Watermill. I went for a food tasting at leonards and the guy who was in charge ignored us because there was a couple that was potentially booking that day..We asked to taste a piece of proscuitto that was displayed and they wouldnt let us!! I know people who have been to leonards and said it was good....It all depends on the chef sometimes
