    This was the first place we looked at, and that was our last! We booked days later with the OMI.
    Marien was our maitre d and was AMAZZZZZIIIINNNGGGG.
    Everything I could have ever dreamed of and more !!


    THANK YOU OMI FOR SUPPORTING OUR MILITARY. Our date had to be changed due to the groom's upcoming deployment training and they moved our wedding to another available date with no additional charges.

    Amazing Wedding at the Grain House

    My husband and I got married at the Grain House April 6 and I cannot recommend it enough! Everything about the experience was positive and easy, from the moment we met with Lea, until we gave John a big hug at the end of the night. My guests were blown away by the amount and quality of the food! John was more than I could ask for in a maitre d'! He took care of us like family, and made the ceremony run smoothly and the reception room look absolutely beautiful. It was the best day! My hairstylist told me she got married at Grain House over 20 years ago, and John was her maitre 'd as well! So he's been doing this awhile! Everything was just perfect, and having the hotel right next door was a huge advantage. Cannot recommend highly enough.

    Seamless Micro-Wedding

    My husband and I had the pleasure of hosting our micro-wedding at the Old Mill Inn in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, on October 19th, and I can't emphasize enough just how perfect our day was. From start to finish, it was an extraordinary experience.

    First and foremost, finding a venue that offered a perfect setting for micro-weddings (under 50 people) at such an affordable price was a dream come true. The per-plate prices were exceptionally reasonable, and the fact that they included an open bar was a fantastic bonus. The venue itself was nothing short of magical.

    We chose to hold both our ceremony and reception at the Old Mill Inn, and it was a fantastic decision. The outdoor setup for the ceremony, by the gazebo and near the river, was absolutely perfect. The serene backdrop of the river also provided stunning opportunities for our wedding photos. The attention to detail and the accommodations provided for the ceremony setup exceeded our expectations.

    For our reception, we opted for an indoor setting, and the setup was impeccable. The dance floor and bar area created a lively atmosphere, and the Old Mill Inn had thoughtfully taken care of every detail, from table arrangements to centerpieces, if desired. The food was delicious, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it.

    One feature that stood out was the availability of two rooms above the reception area for parties to get ready in. My bridesmaids and I spent the entire day there, from hair and makeup preparations to the moment our ceremony began. The convenience and comfort of these rooms were unparalleled.

    Planning a New Jersey wedding all the way from California made us a bit nervous, but the Old Mill Inn made it incredibly easy for us. They were responsive and accommodating every step of the way.

    Now, I must give special recognition to our Matre D, Reda. From the very beginning of the planning process, he stayed in close communication with us, addressing our questions and ensuring he had all the necessary details. On top of all that, he took our guest book, card box, centerpieces the day prior and with little to no instruction was able to create a beautiful ambiance using our stuff. Reda's updates throughout the day kept us informed and stress-free, as he took care of all vendor communication, allowing us to focus on getting ready and savoring the moment.

    Our wedding day at the Old Mill Inn was nothing short of perfect and seamless. I couldn't stop talking about how wonderful everything was. If we ever find ourselves on the East Coast again, planning another event, the Old Mill Inn will undoubtedly be our first choice. Our heartfelt thanks go to the entire team, and especially to Reda, for making our special day an unforgettable, picture-perfect experience. Reda truly went above and beyond, and his attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our day was flawless was nothing short of remarkable. He was not just a Matre D; he was an indispensable part of making our wedding day unforgettable.

    Phenomenal

    We just had our wedding here and I am actually overwhelmed by all of our guests reaching out to tell us how amazing everything was. From the pure beauty of the venue to the amazing cocktail hour to the outstanding service from the staff. John was our maitre d and he completely hit it out of the park, paying not only close attention to my husband and I but to both of our families. Both of our parents kept repeating “John is so good, John is too good”. I am completely in awe of how everything came together.

    Wonderful Experience!

    We had a 93-person wedding at the Grain House Restaurant (at the Olde Mill Inn) and could not be happier with how the night went! The gazebo was gorgeous! We had the Fox & Hounds Room for our cocktail hour and the Hunts Room for our reception, both were very classy and well decorated (not by us). Lots of early communication by our Maitre D David, who was fantastic and really helped to make our day go smoothly. He even went out of his way to get the gluten free pasta that we liked for cocktail hour!

    Unforgettable Experience!

    There is nothing I'm more sure of than recommending the Olde Mill Inn for your wedding. From the moment I visited to my wedding day it was truly an easy and beautiful process. For starters it was important for us to have hotel accommodations close as majority of our guests traveling for our wedding and nothing is closer than inside the venue. The room block prices were very affordable, the rooms are beautiful, and OMI are flexible with you if you need more rooms for your block. Communication throughout the planning process was amazing, any question I had my sales person and Matire'd answered within hours (shoutout John and Lea)! The food is incredible and their packages and add-ons offer a variety of different types of foods. Leading up to the wedding (when anxiety levels are at the highest), John (my matire'd) worked with me to accommodate any and all decor drop off, changes, and questions. The day of was perfect from start to finish. The room where the bride and bridesmaids get ready is so big with a bathroom within steps. There are two stations with mirrors and chairs for hair and make-up, but we were actually able to set up three with the amount of room and stylists we had. The entire day John was attentive to me while handling all of the different vendors coming in and out. He also made sure my husband and I and our families constantly had food and drinks in our hands. We also had our wedding in September which enabled us to utilize the courtyard directly outside our cocktail and reception area. The ballroom was set up exactly how I imagined and the service throughout the wedding was impeccable. I truly could not recommend the Olde Mill Inn more if I tried.

    Highly Recommend!

    If you are thinking about having your wedding at the Olde Mill Inn, do it! We had our ceremony and reception in the ballroom in September and everyone is still raving about it! From the initial tour to our wedding day, Lindsey was super responsive, answered all my questions and made the whole process seamless. After we decided on the Olde Mill Inn, we attended one of the Wedding Shows they hold, and that was a nice way for us to see the space set up and meet some vendors!
    For our food tasting we opted to bring our fathers along, and it was great decision, they gave us so much food that it was nice to have other opinions on it! It also allowed our dads to feel apart of our planning process! During the food tasting all the maître ’ds walk around and interact with you, immediately David stuck out to us, so we requested to have him as our Maitre’ d. We are so happy we did that as he went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect! At our meeting with him, he was so thorough and answered all our questions, he didn’t rush us to make any decisions and gave us an opinion when we were stuck! During our rehearsal, he went over all our décor and ensured that he understood exactly what we would like! He was so thorough with the rehearsal and he made sure the whole party understood what was needed! Day of, he was there bright and early, checked in on us throughout the day, made sure all our vendors were okay and organized our chaotic crew! He made sure my husband and I ate, were hydrated and was there for all our needs! He set all our decorations up exactly how we envisioned! David continually checked in on all our immediate family members and got them whatever they needed! At the end of the night, he packed all our stuff up and brought it to our suite! He even had the suite cleaned after the guys got ready in it! David truly made our day so special and took so much stress off of us! David has also kept in touch with us post wedding!
    Now for the food, everything was delicious! We got a sandwich platter during the day for both the bridesmaids and groomsmen to eat and there was so many different options and all were delicious! During cocktail hour, everywhere you looked there was food! They are super conscience of allergies and make sure those with allergies are aware and taken care of! As for dinner, the servings were a nice size and everyone is raving about it! We did a super simple cake from Calandra’s and it was delicious! At the end of the night most of the cocktail hour food, entrees and a cake were put into our suite, which was super thoughtful!
    All in all we are so happy we chose the Olde Mill Inn and would highly recommend them to everyone!

    The loveliest venue for the best day!!

    I always knew that when I got married, I wanted a very specific 'family reunion' feeling for my wedding: I wanted the hotel and ballroom in the same location so guests could check in, get ready, celebrate with us, go back to their rooms, and have breakfast the next day all in one place, all together. There are surprisingly not that many venues in NJ to offer these type of accommodations, and I found recommendations for the Olde Mill Inn quickly when researching venues with hotel rooms attached. We went to tour and fell in love with the feeling we got there: the OMI is quaint, charming, and warm. The staff: Lea, our booking coordinator, and Reda, our maitre'd, were extremely responsive to every question and request we had throughout the entire planning process. We met with Reda a few months before our big day and really appreciated his concern and attentiveness to the food allergies and restrictions of some of our guests, something that was extremely important to us. On the day of our wedding, he was so attentive and made sure we were never without food or a drink. Even though we had plenty to eat during our cocktail hour thanks to him, he made sure to wrap extra food up for us to enjoy in our honeymoon suite that night after the party was over. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and what a great experience they had. Our wedding was absolutely perfect, and I can't imagine having had it anywhere else! The Olde Mill Inn gave us the exact feeling we wanted for our wedding day: a place where family and friends could be together and feel surrounded by warmth and love!

    Fantastic!

    John L. was our maitre’D and he did an amazing job! The venue itself is naturally beautiful, but John was able to set up an amazing reception for us! He and his staff were very helpful. John was in constant communication and always listened to to what had to say. His suggestions truly reflected how well versed he is as a maitre’d.

    Perfect wedding venue!

    The Olde Mill Inn was the PERFECT wedding venue for us! It is a cozy space and has everything you need for a seamless wedding. We worked closely with Lindsay, who gave us the first tour of the entire venue and helped us book our contract. She was incredibly kind and was always there to answer any and all questions that we had. Closer to the wedding day, we worked with our Maître D, David, who was outstanding! David took the time to go over every single detail of our wedding day and made sure that the day ran smoothly and that all of our ideas came to life. Not only was he extremely helpful to my husband and I, but he also made sure that all of our family, friends and wedding vendors were happy and comfortable throughout the day. He was so patient with us and we truly appreciate all of his guidance and expertise. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that is cozy, has DELICIOUS food and wonderful staff members: this is the place for you!

    A dream wedding!

    The Olde Mill Inn made our wedding day everything we'd ever want and more. Especially our amazing Maitre D John, who is literally Superman! He made us feel so comfortable and took care of us like family. He even got us late night pizza at 2am 😂

    We got married at the Grain House with the ceremony outside, cocktail hour upstairs inside/out, dinner downstairs, and dancing outside under the tent. Not only is the venue beautiful, but they know what they are doing. This is evident in the fact that every couple gets a Maitre D and the planning process is smooth and professional from start to finish. This is one point that sold us. The other point was the food and the value for your money. The food was great and there are so many options to choose from.

    Our wedding suite was HUGE, like a whole apartment, and had everything you could ever need. The hotel is pretty small but they have great service and the area is also very nice. I could go on and on about all of the amazing things that the OMI offers!

    I highly recommend this venue and if possible, get John as your guy ;)

    One point for improvement: more signs, especially in the parking lot. Because there are two locations for weddings, some of the guests got confused and went to the wrong place! This also applies to our cocktail hour and reception - it was not clear for guests that there were other rooms available to them. Because of this some things were not as visited as they should have been.

    THANK YOU Teresa and Reda! :)

    If you are looking for a venue that sincerely cares about your events and celebrations, please look no further than the Olde Mill Inn! My husband and I have family from all over the country, so we knew we needed a venue with hotel accommodations nearby. We viewed 10 different venues, and no other location offered the same level of sincerity, support, and kindness.

    Teresa (our sales coordinator) did everything possible to make us feel welcome and supported from the booking to the actual event itself. As we did our initial walkthrough, a few events were setting up. People kept pulling us aside, saying "Definitely book this place!" and "Teresa is amazing!" It left an incredible impression that so many people wanted to tell us about their positive experience.

    Those people were 100% right. Teresa would regularly check in on us, invite us to their engagement events and expos, and she would always find time to say hello to us when we'd stop by. Unlike other venues that try to force you into giant packages using sneaky tactics, Teresa is very upfront about the pricing options and where your money is going, and she provides clear and easy-to-read documentation. This transparency further reinforced our selection.

    We used the "Simply Elegant" package at the Grain House for roughly 100 guests, with a few additional add-ons (jumbo shrimp at the cocktail hour & an intermezzo lemon sorbet during the reception). Because of the rain, the ceremony was held under the tent outside, which ended up feeling so much more personal and intimate. When the cocktail hour was underway, that area transformed into the outdoor dance floor. For the cocktail hour, we highly suggest the mashtini bar. People still haven't stopped talking about it! The food was delicious and there was so much variety for our guests.

    Reda (our wonderful Maitre'D) was excellent & supportive during the stress of wedding planning. He was patient, kind, and thoughtful leading up to the event, and he made sure to keep everything on time and on track. During the ceremony & reception, I didn't have to think about anything other than celebrating my wedding!

    A great example of Reda's kindness: my husband and I skipped our cocktail hour because we were too tired after the long day. Rather than missing all of that delicious food, Reda fixed two assorted plates for us. :) He also had a plate of chocolate covered strawberries & champagne brought to our bridal suite at the end of the night.

    I could keep going on about how much we love this venue and the people that work here. I hope everyone (newly engaged brides especially) consider this beautiful venue and wonderful experience. Thank you all so much for being a part of our magical day! -Noelle and Daniel :)

    Fantastic wedding venue!

    We had our wedding here a week ago and it’s was absolutely perfect! We had Leah as our sales contact and John was our Maitre D. We could have asked for a better team. They both kept in very close contact with us at all times throughout the whole process. From the first signing of the contract to food tastings and rehearsal and rehearsal dinner to the actual day of and the day after our wedding. John made us feel like his top priority all the time. It was an excellent experience and I would highly Recommend The Olde Mill Inn to all of my friends and family.

    Incredible, from start to finish

    From the moment we stepped foot at the Olde Mill Inn we were welcomed as if we were family. Lea welcomed us and fully explained everything that would be included and available dates and made the process so simple. She walked us through and kept in touch with us and introduced us to our Maitre d' (David). David was a dream to work with, he kept in close contact all the way until our wedding day. he went above and beyond, especially on the actual wedding day. He made our experience extraordinary and took care of our parents and grandparents throughout the whole night inclulding us. He made our wedding day a dream!! I will forever be grateful to Lea,. Dave, .and the Olde Mill Inn for going above and beyond to make our dream come true.

    Excellent Venue!

My husband and I were planning our wedding from out of state and OMI was always very flexible, professional and accommodating, they made things so easy and were always there with a solution or alternative if needed. The food was top notch, coordination day of went flawlessly, and we always felt taken care of. Our Maitre' D John was superb. If you're considering OMI, go for it and your day will be perfect!

    A charming wedding at the Grain House

    We had our wedding reception at the Grain House in October 2022, and it was lovely! The Olde Mill Inn team is very professional and organized; we especially appreciated the support and enthusiasm from David, our Maitre D. We chose the Olde Mill Inn and Grain House not only because it is an absolutely charming venue with a great reputation for weddings, but most importantly because the wedding package is very comprehensive, with most of the major to-do's (venue, food & drink, vendor recommendations, etc.) were included. They were also very flexible when it came to bringing our own customized decorations. Our only critical comments are that our bridesmaids complained that at one point, their bouquets were taken from them and never returned (they were unable to find them), and that we felt a bit rushed to leave toward the end of our afterparty.
    Overall, it was a great wedding. Thanks again to David!

    Perfect day!

    The Olde Mill Inn was exactly the perfect place for us. We had our reception at The Grain House. It is cozy and romantic. The grounds are beautiful. We were blessed with perfect weather that day and it was lovely to be able to use the outside deck during the cocktail hour. Our maitre d’ was Reda and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. The entire staff at the Olde Mill Inn is fantastic. They are very professional and personable. They were also very accommodating. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was.! We had a couple of special dietary requests for some of our guests (gluten allergy) which was no problem at all. They also added ramps for us wherever the stairs were to accommodate our handicapped guests. Our cake was from Palermo’s and was included with our wedding package. It was so beautiful and delicious. A lot of our guests also stayed at the hotel and the rooms were all very comfortable and clean. They were also a very reasonable rate and included breakfast the next morning. We really cannot say enough good things about this venue and would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Thank you Olde Mill Inn!

    Superb venue!

    Olde Mill was our second venue tour and immediately became our top pick! It had both the historical charm look (but with modern upgraded facilities) and garden elements that we wanted. Better yet, it was reasonably priced and we were so pleased accommodations and the reception would be in the same location. John, our maitre'd, was absolutely great! He kept a calm, friendly, professional demeanor throughout the whole process, not even batting an eye with the last minute details. He saved my bouquet (after I left it on a windowsill and didn't remember about it until an hour later) and his team took my basic decor idea and made the ballroom into a magical soft-lit summer garden scene!

    Olde Mill Inn for the Win!!!

    This is going to be a long review - because everything was exceptional! I looked into over 150 venues in NJ and PA. I probably have more info for NJ venues saved on my computer than wedding wire has in their database at this point. I compared locations, prices, reviews, aesthetic, menus.  You name it, I covered it. The FIRST place I looked into was Olde Mill Inn. I went to see it and I walked into the lobby and cried. I have no idea what came over me because I hadn't even seen the ceremony or reception space but I just knew it was 100% for me and that this is where we were going to get married. I chose the Grain House versus the Olde Mill Inn because it is more my style! It was around Christmas time and the place was so beautifully decorated. I added a picture so you can get a sense of my first impression!! Immediately I struck up a conversation with the mother of a bride that was getting married that day and she was over the moon that I was going to choose this venue - she had nothing but incredible things to say - all the great things they say in those reviews you read are 100% true. They should probably start a training company for wedding venues.

    I'm from the mountains in NY and I LOVE gardens, gazebos, rivers, forests - this place has it all and it was SO easy to get to - right off the exit!! The entire process was smooth - I initially was in contact with Lindsay who was really great at helping me figure things out and giving me information that I needed to assist with my decision. I think there's an 80-email chain somewhere with her in my inbox - she was so helpful!!! During the first tour visit I had all of my questions answered. Although I looked into other venues, I never actually went to see any others. I saw the space in the dead of winter and it was still beautiful - I knew it would be perfect for my Summer wedding and I was right!

    The one thing I absolutely loved was what you get for the cost. Affordable luxury is definitely the term I would use. None of the other places I looked into offered what OMI offered. If they did - their reviews were not that great. I read reviews on every site even on sites where they are more harsh and still was met with nothing but positivity.

    My main focus for my wedding aside from the ceremony itself, was food. It was extremely important to us that we feed our guests, a way to give back in a sense, as a thank you for coming but also as a thank you for all the christmases and thanksgivings etc. I can't tell you how many of my guests came up to me and said the food was incredible. A very picky guest of ours said it was the BEST wedding food he's ever had and he's been to many weddings, so for me that was one of the highlights! Other people dubbed it the "best" food as well! We are all Italians and we are used to big meals and can eat a lot of food and they really DELIVERED!!! It was all delicious!!!

    David was our Maitre D' and let me tell you they couldn't have chosen a better fit for us. I wanted David from the start after reading so many reviews about him and was ecstatic they chose him for us. I had so much to do and he was so great at 1) being there when you needed him(how is he in so many places at once?) and 2) calming down the frantic bride who was so late to everything. I remember the one thing that stood out to me the most is when I showed up late to drop off last minute decor (4 hrs before the wedding) and I still hadn't gotten to hair and makeup (meanwhile everyone else was done), I said to him "please tell me other brides are like this and I'm not the only one" and his response was so nonchalantly, "what are you talking about? Everything is fine." I can't tell you how quiet the world got when he said that haha I was able to take a second and breathe and it really really helped to be met with a calm demeanor when I felt so much pressure from the time. Below, you'll notice a photo I added of my husband and I about to do our first dance and you can see David RIGHT THERE hand out to grab my bouquet for me!! I feel like it's such a great example of how accommodating and on top of everything he was.

    He handled everything from start to finish and told us to remember to really soak it all in. This was really important as all of my married friends told me this too - it goes fast so just don't forget to take a moment to take it all in. David even pulled us aside to make sure we did which was extremely thoughtful.

    At the end of the night we thought we had forgotten some things - but no, David had already packed it all back up and delivered it to our room!! He was on top of everything and anticipated our needs - made sure we had food and everything for cocktail hour during photos and all of our food was brought to the room after so we could eat after the wedding!

    The reception setup was perfect!!! We had a polaroid guestbook and I wanted to keep it true to the aesthetic and I added some props and David did an excellent job setting it up -as well as setting the photo and memorial sections up for us!! I have included pictures of everything mentioned in this review! If we ever decide to renew our vows we will be seeking David out at the OMI again for sure! The food at the Grain House Restaurant is exceptional as well - so it's nice to know we can always go back there for a meal.

    The honeymoon suite was also fantastic - it was so great that after we left and went on honeymoon to the Sagamore in Lake George - we missed our 3-room OMI Honeymoon suite and continued to talk about it. I highly recommend it. I also absolutely loved the get ready rooms in the Grain House - I'm a huge Period piece fan - Pride & Prejudice is my favorite and everything about the Grain House gave off Pride & Prejudice vibes. I also love History and the history of the Grain House is SO COOL!! I touched a 260-year old beam. This place has been around since the Revolutionary War!!! George Washington has ties here. I invite you to look into the history if you're a history lover, it was really a bonus on top of all of the other awesome things OMI has to offer. My wedding was everything I could have hoped for and more. The gardens were beautiful! I couldn't wait to take a photo there with my husband and as expected they came out perfect!! Such a romantic space/vibe! I will relive this day in my head over and over and remember it forever.

    A huge shout out to the servers and bartenders and everyone else involved in setting everything up and keeping us fed! No one was without for even a second the entire night. We appreciate every single one of you and always will!!!!!

    Could not have asked for more!

    Best day of our lives. We truly can't say enough good things about the Olde Mill.

    If you're lucky enough to work with Lindsay (sales) or David (maitre d'), you are in the best of hands. Both were excellent at communication, responding to emails and calls right away, and took care of every last detail. Planning was a breeze and on the day of, David made sure that not a thing was out of place. The ballroom looked stunning, all of our personal items were set up exactly as we'd hoped, and on our 100 degree wedding day, David was somehow everywhere we needed with an ice cold water. The little things made us feel really special too - David brought us and our parents special plates of the cocktail hour food (since we were so busy talking with our guests), and even had food waiting for us in our hotel room for after the reception, (as we were having too much fun to eat our dinners)!

    Speaking of - the food was delicious. We received so many compliments from guests and the staff were so friendly and attentive.

    In terms of the venue, the whole place is beautiful and we LOVED having accommodations for our guests right there with no need for transportation. It also worked out great for guests to grab continental breakfast the next morning too.

    We are not people who usually write reviews, but we would not have changed a single thing about out wedding day and can't recommend the Olde Mill Inn enough.

    Bonus - we had our rehearsal dinner at the Grain House, which was also perfect. Wishing we could hit repeat on the whole weekend!

    OMI-best decision ever!

    OMI went above and beyond to make our perfect wedding day. It was so nice to have everything all under one roof and we could make sure that our guests were comfortable and well taken care of. Lindsay was our person of contact and she was available at any time to answer any questions big or small. John was our maitre d and he went above and beyond. He even handled a situation with one of our vendors the day of. The staff is all helpful and made us feel okay not having a day of coordinator. The food and ambiance were all spectacular. Our family and friends are all still talking about what a great venue this was! You will not go wrong having your special day here!
