Watermans Cafe & Tasting Barn - Apalachin (NY)

5 /5 Heather Sanderhoff: We had our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding at Waterman’s and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish! The owners Amy and Bill are just the sweetest and truly went above and beyond to make sure every detail was just right. From the planning stages to the big day, they were incredibly helpful, organized, and genuinely cared about making the wedding special. The venue itself is adorable — rustic yet elegant, with such a warm, inviting atmosphere. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how great everything was and how delicious and fun the drinks were, they loved the drinks served in the mason jars! They made sure everything ran smoothly, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you Waterman’s for making the day unforgettable. If you’re looking for the perfect cozy or intimate wedding venue with amazing service and a one-of-a-kind charm, this is it! Would also be the perfect location for a birthday party, graduation celebration , baby or wedding shower or even a retirement party. And did I mention the food? The food was incredible — our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! The mac & cheese, in particular, was out of this world — creamy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Looking forward to trying brunch very soon!

5 /5 Tiffany Harrington: A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of being able to have our wedding at Watermens Cafe & Tasting Barn. The great hospitality and warm welcome that we received on our special day is something I will never forget. The attention to detail and ability to above and beyond was truly appreciated. The barn holds a special place in my heart from when it was used for storage before being renovated. I am glad to have been able to experience the renovations while being able to preserve memories from the past. The food and drinks were excellent! The mac and cheese is a must try!! Thanks again for making our day special!

5 /5 Elaine Bozeat: Excellent. Just right for our size family. Plenty of sitting room. Workers very friendly. Easy to get to. They kept up on hors d’oeuvres, plenty variety of drinks. Alcohol if you drink. We had a 100 th birthday there. Snow was cleaned so walking from cars was easy.

5 /5 Taylor Sanderhoff: We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful or special place to celebrate our wedding than Waterman’s! From the moment we walked in, we fell in love with the rustic barn charm, cozy atmosphere, and the warmth that radiates through every corner of this space. It’s not your typical “venue” it’s a locally owned cafe and tasting barn that feels both elegant and down to earth, with so much character and heart to offer. The owners, Amy & Bill, are absolutely incredible. You can tell they pour their hearts into everything they do here! From the delicious food to the thoughtful touches that make the place feel so inviting. They went above and beyond to make our wedding seamless and stress free, and we felt genuinely cared for every step of the way. Amy was constantly in touch with me and was incredibly attentive to detail. She was truly so caring and sweet. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how unique and beautiful the setting was from the twinkle lights and wood beams to the open, airy feel that perfectly blended rustic charm with a modern twist. It’s such a versatile space too they host brunches, trivia nights, and private events, and you can feel the love and community energy that surrounds it. If you’re looking for a one of a kind venue that’s full of charm, heart, and the kind of hospitality you just don’t find everywhere or a place to stop for brunch, dinner, or trivia look no further. Waterman’s will always hold a special place in our hearts! ❤️
