ok..i think we've narrowed it down between the 2... i'm torn between the 2... i like everything that watermill has to offer execpt that we won't be able to use the outside chapel due to the larger party having their outside cocktail which is right next to the chapel.. we've been able to talk them down from 125 min down to 100 which is a bonus..we've gone to 2 open houses and tasted the cocktail food which was tasty and abundant ...the inside chapel is gorgeous..the grounds are great for pics and cocktail hour...the wedding cake is basic and not much variations unless extra....
Fox Hollow ..i like the outside chapel..but is close to the main road..we were able to get them to give us an outside cocktail hour...the inside cocktail room is ok..reminds me of a hunting lodge theme...the reception room WGP is stunning(love the sky lights)and would be used as the chapel if the weather is not so good..the only complaint about the room is the bar is attached to the dance floor..the other complaint about them is the small about of passed food at cocktail compared to watermill...i've tired to negotiate with them but are very firm on their offerings .but i do like that their hotel is right next door and there's a couple of others down the road for OOT guest..i have not tasted any of their food yet either...
so i'm torn about weather to get married outside and stick with fox hollow or go to watermill and just enjoy the outside cocktail ...
opinions are welcomed.... and tks for letting me vent...lol

Re: Watermill vs Fox Hollow...
How does the food compare at these places? My FH is a big foodie, and wants table service. Has anyone had their tastings at either place?

The Fox Hollow. You will be spending the majority of your time at the reception... and it sounds like you love the reception space there.

Re: Watermill vs Fox Hollow...
The food tasting at the Watermill was very good. They gave us a decent amount of food and I tried everything even if it didn't appeal to me and everything was delish! Also, you can go to a showcase there. They have food at the event, mostly cocktail hour stuff, but it gives you a good idea of how they are.

was it a professional video or a guest? because i think that I would then talk to them and the maitre d and just get that bartender completely out of there.
It was a professional .. And it looked so weird watching someone's first dance.. If it was video I would have been pissed
I wouldn't let that be the judge of me choosing a venue for my wedding. You can easily, as others are saying, tell someone at Fox Hollow to have the bartender stay off to the side for a few minutes. No one should be getting drinks at this point.
I am booked in the WGP room and we love it. It has a romantic feel to it which is exactly what I wanted. I don't think the bar is going to get in the way, especially since they do bring drinks to the table.
I am also not worried about the amount of passed food at cocktail hour. They offer 9 passed foods and ANY 10 of their 45 stations. I don't want my guests filling up on cocktail hour!
HTH
Editttt.... congrats on picking Watermill. My sisters SIL got married there and they had nothing but good things to say. I've never been there though :)
