Which room do you like better and why? I booked the Vanderbilt but was told I could change to the Astor if nobody else books it. I can't decide which one I like better.

Re: Watermill Brides - which room?
I am in the Vanderbuilt room only cause I have 240 people and the Aster does not hold that many. Either room is beautiful but I prefered the downstairs room cause I like the colums.

Re: Watermill Brides - which room?
Both rooms are beautiful....I'm having my cocktail hour either outside on in Astor...my reception is in Vanderbilt....we are having a big wedding and Astor wouldn't hold everyone

Re: Watermill Brides - which room?
We couldn't fit in the Astor, and I liked how the Vanderbilt was separate from the rest of the facility...we had our bathroom, etc.
They are both beautiful...you can definitely not go wrong with Watermill!

Re: Watermill Brides - which room?
We booked the Astor Room, mainly because that was all that was left available for my wedding date and also we are having under 200 people so it fits our needs perfectly.

We booked the Astor room, since we have having less then 200 people and having our CH outside. But both rooms are beautiful

Re: Watermill Brides - which room?
not a watermill bride here, but went to see it.
this is my opinion only so please no one take offense.......
.......i loved the room on the main floor (which is the smaller room) moreso than the room on the lower level (the larger room) primarily because it didn't have those large columns and didnt feel like a basement.

Re: Watermill Brides - which room?
I was mainly worried about the columns. I wasn't sure if they would be in the way or would look bad in photos. Thanks for the input.

Re: Watermill Brides - which room?
The columns do not get in the way..nor block photo opps....two good friends of ours got married there (seperate times)....both weddings were downstairs....everything was great!

Re: Watermill Brides - which room?
i think the columns just end up being a personal preference. for me, i did not prefer them.

Re: Watermill Brides - which room?
You can't go wrong! But I'm partial to the Astor, cause that's where our reception was!
one slight drawback to the Vanderbilt is that some ppl have told me that you feel a little claustrophobic in there, cause there are no windows. (Astor has windows) If you are having a big party....Vanderbilt might be better for the size of the room. Astor hold up to about 186 I think, but that is if you squeeeze like 14 ppl at each table.
For comfort I think 10 to a table is great, and 12 is tight.

Re: Watermill Brides - which room?
I am in the Vanderbilt room - I just loved it in there - the Astor room would have been too small for me.

Re: Watermill Brides - which room?
We had the Astor Room with 150 guests. I loved this room because every table got a great view of the dance floor. It was cozy and the perfect size for us.
