There are not enough positive words in this world to explain how amazing The Mill, their coordinators, chefs, waiters/waitresses, and rest of the staff are! If you want your wedding day to go off without a hitch, this venue will 1000% make it happen. We got engaged in April 2021 and for over a year looked at over 20 venues between Massachusetts and New Jersey (where each of our families are from.) I was also very torn because we initially wanted a venue right on the ocean, but was also big enough to accommodate our guest list number. Amongst all the states between Jersey and Mass, no venue checked as many boxes as The Mill, which ultimately was the reason we chose to have our 240 guest list wedding here. Your guests will be blown away from the minute they walk in, until the minute they leave.

I can promise that you will not be able to find a venue that offers as many cocktail hour passed horderves, food stations, drink options, first course, main course, and dessert options as The Mill. It is so evident that unlike a lot of venues we looked at, The Mill works hard to maintain, update, and actually puts money back into their outside ceremony space, landscaping, cocktail hour room, and ballroom to make it better each year. Every time we visited between 2021-2023, the property got more and more beautiful and more and more food options were offered!
What also makes The Mill stand out from all other venues we considered was the communication, friendly staff, and awesome resources they offer you before you book, while you’re planning, and on the day of your wedding. Susan, Racquel, Jackie, and Richard were all so helpful in the entire planning process and on the day of our wedding. You are always guaranteed a wedding coordinator for the day of your wedding and a bridal attendant to assist you, which I promise you won’t get at most venues! The staff is always willing to go above and beyond for their bride and grooms and will answer your endless amounts of late night questions/concerns, very promptly!

Not to mention, the amount of items that are included when you book your wedding are endless! From floral table centerpieces, to table numbers, table cloths, plate options, generations of love signs, signature drink signs, card boxes, the list goes on and on and on! Not only do they offer you all these items to use, but they have different options that you can choose from that fit your theme. I still am amazed at the amount of things we did not have to purchase because The Mill literally offers and has everything you need at no added cost!
We were so impressed with how smoothly everything went from the start of our planning to the end of our wedding. This absolutely could not be done without all the staff members at The Mill. Our guests are still raving about our wedding and how beautiful it was. We are so happy that we were able to accommodate so many guests comfortably at a beautiful venue near the Jersey shore. We are actually sad that we won’t be communicating with the great staff on a weekly basis anymore, but we are excited to attend their “Alumni Bride and Groom” events that they host each year! What more could you ask for?!

We toured two venues, this one first - and INSTANTLY fell in love and booked it the next day. The team at The Mill are all amazing to work with and will make it the most perfect day for you. They are so kind, helpful, and answer any and all questions you have during the entire planning process. You can’t beat how beautiful the grounds are, the spacious areas for cocktail hour & reception, and how they have both a bridal and a groom suite to hang in! I could go on and on about this venue, but I’ll end with what everyone raved about: THE FOOD! If you are overwhelmed looking at venues, look no further and book at The Mill - 100% you will be so happy and have an amazing wedding day!!

We had our wedding here on April 16th. It was literally the best day of our life. My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better venue. Their attention to detail was EVERYTHING! Anything that we needed we got.

Before the day even occured we had lots of communication with our coordinator at The Mill, Susan. She was always available to help with any questions we may have had. They were very welcoming anytime that we came in to tour the venue with bridal party members that wanted to see the venue. It felt like home!

The venue is decorated beautifully to the point that I didn't even feel the need to bring my own centerpieces, theirs were gorgeous and would complement any palette.

We had our ceremony outside in the gazebo/pergola. Everything was beautiful there with the dock and the ambiance that is provided. And where else can you be in two towns at the same time for the same event??

We had a dedicated attendant all night. She made sure that if we needed food or a drink we had it. Richard, the maitre'd knew his stuff and the wedding went off without any huge hiccups. The bartenders and the staf were all amazing. They made sure that all of our guests had something to eat whether it be vegetarian to even the little ones in the bridal party.

Cocktail hour was AMAZING, the amount of food offered between cocktail hour and dinner is incomparable. People are still RAVING about the food from the wedding almost 5 months later!! Everyone tells us that this was the best wedding that they have ever been to!

The hangover prevention station as a favor was an amazing thing to have. It was so much easier than having to do our own favors, they had it all taken care of. And I mean come on you leave a wedding with a pork roll, egg and cheese and a pretzel for a snack, who doesn't love that??

We couldn't recommend The Mill Lakeside Manor enough. Anyone that I know getting married will get a recommendation to use The Mill from us!!
