The best wedding venue

There truly are not enough words to express how grateful we are to Stone Mill Inn, Erica, Ken, Karen, and the entire team for giving us the wedding of our dreams.

From the very beginning, Ken and Karen made us feel so incredibly special. You can tell that Stone Mill Inn is so much more than just a wedding venue to them—it is something they genuinely love and pour their hearts into. Every interaction felt personal, thoughtful, and sincere, and they made us feel like our wedding was just as important to them as it was to us.

And Erica… where do we even begin? She was absolutely incredible. She made our wedding day completely seamless and allowed us to actually be present and enjoy every single moment. We genuinely did not have to worry about a thing. Every detail was handled, every question was answered, and everything seemed to happen effortlessly behind the scenes. Knowing Erica was there allowed us to relax, celebrate, and soak in the day with our family and friends. That is something we will forever be grateful for.

The entire staff was phenomenal. Everyone was kind, attentive, professional, and genuinely seemed happy to be part of our day. And the food was UNREAL. We received compliment after compliment from our guests about how incredible everything tasted. We have joked that Stone Mill Inn needs to open its own restaurant during the week when there aren’t weddings because we would genuinely be there all the time. It was THAT good.

Then there is the venue itself. Stone Mill Inn is simply magical. From the beautiful gardens and the woodlands to the Abbey and every little corner of the property, it truly feels like stepping into a fairy tale. There are so many breathtaking spaces that somehow make the entire day feel intimate, romantic, and completely unique. Our wedding felt like something out of a dream.

Looking back, we could not imagine having gotten married anywhere else. Stone Mill Inn gave us more than a beautiful venue—they gave us an experience and memories that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives.

To Erica, Ken, Karen, and every single member of the Stone Mill Inn team: thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for caring about us, for making us feel special, for taking care of every detail, and for giving us a wedding day that exceeded everything we could have imagined.

If you are considering Stone Mill Inn for your wedding, we truly cannot recommend them enough. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we would choose them again a thousand times over.

We will forever be grateful to the entire Stone Mill Inn family for making our wedding day so incredibly magical. 🤍

Stone Mill Inn

AMAZING! From the moment we arrived for our initial tour, we knew Stone Mill Inn was our venue. The entire team was phenomenal to work with and made wedding planning easy and fun! They were responsive, organized, and guided us throughout the entire process.

The venue is absolutely beautiful, the food was delicious, and our wedding day went so smoothly. We received so many compliments from guests and family about how seamlessly everything came together. Most importantly, the team truly made us feel special throughout the entire experience.

We worked primarily with Erica, who was absolutely wonderful! She helped bring our vision to life, worked through logistics with us, and genuinely made us feel that she had our best interests at heart. We couldn't have imagined a better venue or team for our wedding day!

Best Wedding Ever!

Stone Mill Inn is the most wonderful place to have a wedding. The venue is absolutely beautiful and I can't overstate how absolutely incredible everyone that works there is. We felt so at ease throughout the planning process, and our day went so smoothly. We met Ken at our first visit to the venue and he seemed so genuinely interested in us, our relationship and what we wanted for our wedding. Ken and Karen do an amazing job running SMI and are constantly making improvements to the grounds. It's truly a beautiful place. Everyone we worked with between our first meeting and our wedding day was so helpful and kind. We had Amber as our wedding day coordinator and she was amazing. She helped make sure we had all of the details, and helped coordinate some last minute changes we had to make. She's a genuinely lovely person and it was a joy working with her. I thought I would be stressed on the wedding day, but the moment we got to SMI all of my stress went away. We knew no matter what, it would all work out. We were able to spend the whole day just relaxing and having the best time with our friends and family. Throughout the day all of the staff were very attentive and helped with whatever we needed. Right after the ceremony they had drinks and snacks for us on the way to photos, which was a great touch. Someone also made sure all of our cocktail hour snacks got brought out to us during family photos so we could eat them too. Every detail was prepared for. And the FOOD is so good! Every bite was delicious. We loved the event they had in the winter where we could go with other couples getting married that year and try food. It was a great way to try everything, and it was all so delicious. Overall, we had the most incredible wedding day and there's not a single thing I would change. Stone Mill Inn is the perfect venue and we are so grateful for the experience we had.

Best Venue No Joke

If you’re looking for a wedding venue, stop right now & book the stone mill inn. This is the best venue in York/Lancaster County. We would know, it was the 10th venue we toured. Ken and Karen welcome you & instantly make you feel like family. The entire team is outstanding, you literally feel like royalty. Corinne is the absolute best. She is with you every step of the way & executes her role flawlessly.If you’re a foodie, this is hands down your venue. With Ken’s background & the executive chef by his side, your food will taste better than any restaurant around. The grounds are absolutely stunning, pictures do not do it justice. The team overall loves what they do & it shows. Beyond grateful to be apart of the SMI family. Thank you so much for the tender, love, & care throughout the most special day of lives. Not only us, but our family & friends will be raving about it for years to come.

The best venue EVER

We cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue and the entire team! They went above and beyond our expectations and truly helped make our wedding day everything we had dreamed it would be and more!! From the very beginning, our coordinator, Amber, was an absolute Godsend. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and reassuring throughout the entire planning process, always willing to answer questions, talk through details, and help us iron out any hiccups along the way. The communication was consistently excellent, and we always felt like we were in good hands. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking and offers so many beautiful options for ceremony locations. One of my favorite things about it was that it is a private venue, meaning the entire property was ours for the day. It made the experience feel so personal and intimate, and our guests could truly enjoy the beautiful grounds without sharing the space with another event. We received endless compliments from our guests about the venue, but just as many about the food! The fact that the food is prepared in-house really shows. We had multiple guests tell us it was the best wedding food — or even some of the best food, period — that they had ever had. Everyone was so impressed, and that was something that meant so much to us. The bridal suite was also absolutely stunning. It has so much charm and was such a beautiful and comfortable space to get ready and spend the morning with our bridal party. Every little detail of the property made the day feel incredibly special. Of course, our wedding day threw us an unexpected curveball when a nor’easter rolled through, requiring some last-minute changes to our plans. Thankfully, we had already discussed backup weather plans, and the entire team handled the changes with such professionalism, flexibility, and calmness. They truly made the best of the situation and never let the weather take away from our celebration. One of the things that stood out to us most was how kind and genuinely caring every staff member was. We had several guests specifically comment on how friendly and helpful the staff were. You can truly tell that the people who work here care about what they do, take pride in their jobs, and genuinely want their couples and guests to have an amazing experience. We are so incredibly grateful that we chose this venue for our wedding. From the gorgeous property and incredible food to the wonderful staff and exceptional coordination, they made us feel supported every step of the way. We truly cannot recommend this venue and its team enough! Our wedding day was absolutely unforgettable, and we will always be grateful to everyone who helped make it so special!

Best Wedding Venue Ever!

From the first day we walked onto Stone Mill Inn’s property we felt like we were home. The owner’s Ken and Karen were so sweet and made us feel like family and you can really see how much care and time they place into their wedding venue as soon as you get there! The whole staff was so attentive the entire day (as well as the months leading up) and made us feel well taken care of especially our Day Of Coordinator Missy who really made the day feel at-ease and shoutout to Jimmy as well! The food was amazing and we are still having guests come to us saying it was the best wedding food they have ever had before! Another HUGE plus with their venue is that it is all inclusive and they set-up and tear down all of the decor for you so that’s another stress off your plate. As if that wasn’t enough, they also package everything in the cars for you at the end of the night so all you have to do is go right to your after party! We could not say enough amazing things about Stone Mill Inn but are so happy that we trusted them with our wedding day because we could not imagine having it anywhere else!

Why look anywhere else?? Stone Mill Inn is the only option in our opinion if you want to have the best wedding you could ever imagine! 💕

The Perfect Venue for Our Special Day

Our experience with Stone Mill Inn went beyond our expectations, and we are so grateful we chose it for our wedding day. From the beginning, the owners made us feel welcomed and like part of the family. Their genuine care, flexibility, and willingness to go above and beyond made the entire experience so special.

Our wedding coordinator, Erica, was absolutely wonderful. She was organized, attentive, and on top of everything leading up to our wedding, throughout the day, and afterward. She was always available to answer questions and offer guidance, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our day.

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. The gardens and grounds were stunning, and everything was clean and beautifully maintained. Our guests could not stop talking about how gorgeous the venue was—and the food was AMAZING!

Most importantly, we felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire experience. Stone Mill Inn gave us the wedding day we dreamed of, and we will always be grateful for the memories we made there. We truly could not recommend them more!

The Smiths - 8/1/2026

The very first time we toured the Stone Mill Inn, I knew it was our venue before I even got out of the car. There’s no doubt that the property is absolutely gorgeous, but it’s the people who make the experience truly unforgettable.

From our very first tour, to our tasting, rehearsal, and finally our wedding day, the Stone Mill Inn team was there with us every step of the way. Our coordinator, Amber, was simply the best. She made sure every single detail was thought of and was such an incredible help throughout the planning process, especially during the moments when we felt overwhelmed or weren’t quite sure what we wanted. She was always patient, attentive, and willing to help bring our ideas to life.

One of the things we appreciated most was how well the entire staff took care of everything on our wedding day. We never had to worry about the little details or wonder whether things were getting done. They handled everything behind the scenes so that we could simply be present and enjoy our day with our family and friends. That allowed us to truly soak in every moment of our wedding instead of spending the day worrying about logistics, and that is something we will always be grateful for.

The owners, Karen and Ken, make you feel like family from the moment you meet them. They went above and beyond to accommodate us and do everything in their power to make our vision for our wedding come to life. You can truly tell how much they care about their couples and the experience they create for them.

And the rest of the staff was just as wonderful. Everyone we interacted with was so kind, helpful, and genuinely happy for us. We had so many of our guests tell us that our wedding was one of the most beautiful weddings they had ever attended. They absolutely raved about the food, and I have to agree — everything was delicious!

Our wedding day was everything we could have hoped for, and we are so incredibly grateful that we chose the Stone Mill Inn. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or a better team to be part of such an important chapter in our lives. We will always look back on the Stone Mill Inn with so much love and gratitude, and we are truly honored to be part of the Stone Mill Inn family.
