The Frungillos are simply the best!

I cannot put into words what the Frungillo family did for us for our wedding day. We booked the Inn at Millrace Pond when the barn house was still a concrete slab - just to show the trust we have in them. From the walkthrough and planning process with Michelle and Robert, to the day of with Gerry and Linda, everything was spectacular. Upon entering, our guests were greeting with espresso martini or champagne shooters which were delicious. Not only that, our guests could not stop raving about the food. The fresh mozz station was a hit, and our pasta and Tuscan stations were top notch. To top it all off, everyone’s filet (their top dish) was cooked to perfection. Some people even ate their table’s leftovers it was that good! We even had an afterparty at the gristmill… and you already know by this point how that went. All of our guests stayed at the venue in the multiple rooms they have to offer and we were able to have a brunch the next day to recap all the memories from the night before. I wouldn’t have booked my wedding with anyone else but the Frungillo’s. They’re not just your friends, they’re family. Thank you thank you!!

Phenomenal venue and people!

Tracey and her assistant, Lia, were absolutely amazing! They made our special day as smooth as possible and they were extremely accommodating! Anything we needed, they got us immediately. Also, they continued to check in on us and our guests throughout the night. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day at this gorgeous venue!!

Our Wedding at The Inn

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience at The Inn at Millrace Pond!! My husband and I enjoyed every moment of our day, beginning from getting ready in the bridal suite and speakeasy, to taking photographs on the grounds, to our breathtaking outdoor ceremony, to our reception in the astounding ballroom, and ending with staying overnight in the cozy bridal loft! The grounds are beautiful and give off a tranquil vibe that made our day so calm and pleasant! The food was delicious and our guests raved about every item from cocktail hour down to dessert. The staff made sure that although we were busy, we had time set aside to eat and enjoy!

It was our absolute pleasure working with all of the staff at The Inn. Tracey, our maitre d, took a personal interest in getting to know us and ensuring that every single detail was accounted for. She spent hours with us discussing the steps of our wedding day and allowing us to ask questions in order to be fully prepared. Tracey was amazing the day of the wedding as well, ensuring that every moment ran smoothly and that my husband and I were happy! We LOVE her!!!

The captain- Lia, also did an amazing job keeping our day smooth and checking in with us often in order to help and support us with everything we needed! She was so sweet and continued making our experience great the following morning at the breakfast!

My bridal attendant for the day, Kerri, was a joy to work with! She helped me to be comfortable and ready for my day and even made sure I kept drinking water since it was such a hot August day! I was so thankful to have her with me.

Tricia the inn keeper went above and beyond to ensure all rooms were adequately prepared for our guests and especially for us. She even took us around the grounds prior to the wedding so we could have another look!

We are so thankful for all the staff at The Inn and will always cherish the beautiful day they have given us!! We so highly recommend this venue for a wedding!!

Dream Come True

We got married about 2 months ago...here's how it went.
From the moment we stepped on to the grounds of The Inn at Millrace Pond, we knew it was something special. It wasn't just the charm of the property- though historic, beautiful maintained grounds, and vintage, cottage-core worth inn rooms definitely set the scene - it was the people who made this venue and experience incredible!
Maria was the first person we met, when I reached out online she got back to me in less than 24hrs to do a tour! She truly made us feel seen, welcomed and excited! She painted the vision of our day so effortlessly, and it only got better from there! Michelle was an absolute gem throughout the entire planning process. She responded to every email and question asked (there were a lot), and handled every little change with patience, clarity and kindness. Having her support made the planning process smooth and stress free.
And then there's Tracey- our Maître D and wedding day superhero. Tracey and her team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect! Starting a week before thee wedding she called me and we had an hour and a half long chat and she asked questions i didn't even think about, sent me pictures and ideas for ceremony placement, inside rain placement, etc. She was everywhere at once, always one step ahead, and truly made our day a dream come true! We felt so cared for and supported - we didn't have to work about a thing, and that peace of mind is priceless on your wedding day. She took so many behind the scenes videos and pictures for me, I view them to this very day!
And let's talk about the food. Weeks later our guests are still raving about it! Every dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and served with care. The bartenders were fantastic - friendly, fun, and they made amazing drinks all night long!
The entire experience at the Inn at Millrace Pond was filled with warmth, charm, and exceptional service. It felt personal, magical, and so "us." If you're looking for a venue that combines beauty and character, and a team that truly cares- this is it.

The Day of My Dreams

I cannot say enough good things about the Inn at Millrace Pond! From the moment we booked until the final send-off, everything was flawless. The venue itself is stunning—charming, rustic, and romantic in all the right ways—but what truly made our day unforgettable was the incredible team behind it.

Tracey and her assistant Lia were absolutely amazing. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. They were always one step ahead, making sure every moment of our day ran smoothly. I felt so supported and calm knowing they were by my side. I am truly beyond lucky to have had them there with me on such an important day.

If you're considering the Inn at Millrace Pond for your wedding, don't hesitate. It was the best decision we made, and I would choose it again in a heartbeat.

Perfect Wedding Setting

My wedding was at the Inn on 4/19/25. Having our wedding at the Inn was above and beyond all my expectations. It is clear the property is beautiful! We loved how unique the setting is and the history. There are not many properties that offer you multiple building locations for your day plus the ability to stay onsite with around 40 guests! What really blew me away was the entire staff and how good the food is! Tracey was our Maitre De, wow from the calls prior to the wedding to the day of I knew I was in such good hands. Tracey was like having another friend there the day of making sure me and my family were taken care of and making everything happen, I literally did not have to worry about a thing. I cannot express my gratitude to have wonderful this team is. Tracey had a captain Lia with her all day who was so kind and also was there for anything we needed, checking in all throughout the day! When I tell you the food is so good, I have never been to a wedding where so many guests were raving about cocktail hour AND the dinner meals. We were blown away at our tasting and the day of at how good everything was. Tricia the inn keeper, is so lovely. She was so helpful working with us and our guests. Truly a world class staff all around. If you are looking for a charming, boho, rustic venue. This is it, you will not be disappointed.

August 2024 wedding

Had the most wonderful experience with Inn at Millrace last August at our wedding. Cannot say enough about the service and care and attention to detail everyone gave us. Very responsive, really helped us stay on top of planning everything and we really felt like they put in the work to help make our day so special. Tracey is the absolute best at what she does! Kept everything running smoothly, got everyone where they needed to be, an hour out when we had a bit of a rain scare with an outdoor ceremony planned she walked us through all the possible options so we could make the best decision (ended up chancing it and rain held off!). She checked in on us enough without being overbearing, helped our very large bridal party from morning/getting ready time until the very end. She also took a bunch of pictures herself on her phone, so in addition to our professional photography we also have hundreds of additional photos to look back on! We ended up forgetting a bunch of stuff like decor and our guest book and she kept everything safe in her own home until we were able to drive out and get it!! Maria who helped us book the venue was also so helpful, listened to what we were looking for and laid out everything very clearly for us. Food was really good, especially cocktail hour!! Outdoor space was beautiful and big and very wooded, felt like we were in the middle of a forest. Cocktail area and reception room were beautiful and the setup was nice, being attached but still separate. The millrace team helped make a stressful planning process that much less so and we highly recommend!

Beautiful venue for a Winter Wedding

We got married at the Inn at Millrace Pond in February 2025. It was the best wedding weekend we could ask for! The grounds are beautiful and historical. The bridal suite and inn rooms were great. It was so nice to stay on property with friends and family. The reception barn was the perfect set up for our 115 guests. The Tavern on property was a great atmosphere for our after party.

Michelle was helpful through out the planning process. Tracey was my maitre’d. She was incredible. She spent time talking with my husband and I on the phone and through text the week prior to our wedding. She had great advice and was so helpful. Everything ran smoothly because of her and our bridal attendant, Lia. Tracey also took photos and videos throughout the night that captured so many great moments.

Even though we didn’t get a chance to eat, our guests shared that the food was delicious. We had the Millrace salad, rigatoni vodka pasta, and a choice of filet mignon, salmon, caprese chicken and vegetarian option. It was plated beautifully. It came out hot, was a good portion size, and did not taste mass made. Everyone liked their meal options. I heard the most compliments about the filet mignon.

I couldn’t be happier with our decision to have our wedding at the Inn at Millrace Pond. It was a dream come true.

Magical Wedding!

I absolutely adore this wedding venue—the staff, the grounds, the food! We literally just had to show up, and everything else was taken care of. Tracey made sure everything ran smoothly, and my guests still rave about how this was the best wedding they'd been to. The food was amazing, and I just appreciate the rustic historical charm that this venue brings. Your VIP guest can even stay on the premises with you. It's like having your own private small town for the night. I wish I could relive this moment!
