The Stone Mill at NYBG is a stunning and beautiful wedding venue with a natural setting and a gorgeous building. The food is amazing, and many guests mentioned it was the best they've had at a wedding. The venue hire includes many bonuses, such as catering, cake, linens, and tableware, which cuts down on the number of vendors needed. The staff, including the coordinator, catering staff, and bridal attendant, are all great and provide excellent service. Although there can be challenges with transport within the garden and the venue coordinator may seem overwhelmed at times, overall, the Stone Mill is highly recommended for couples looking for a transportive experience in NYC.

Book them today!

I am a wedding planner who just worked my first wedding at the Stone Mill building in the NYBG. This venue offers the best of the best. The team will move mountains for their couples. Nina, the director of catering at the Garden is absolute top tier. Both empathetic and extremely professional. Victoria, the maitre d was the absolute best. Medardo the couple's attendant was the sweetest most attentive person you've ever met. Only great things to say about this team.

Tears of joy for this amazing experience

WHAT A VENUE! I do not have enough positive feedback to give to NYBG and I couldn’t be happier to have had my wedding here. Everything was a dream. The gorgeous ambiance speaks volumes for itself. But what truly made the wedding spectacular was the level of service.
Let me start by addressing the catering manager, Chantal. When I met Chantal, I was immediately sold. Her calm demeanor, chill personality and sweet soul made me love her and want to work with her. There was not one thing she didn’t do for me. From getting the tequila I like to drink, to sourcing a parmesean wheel for cocktail hour, and tying the napkins on the table the way I liked them, she did it all. She answered every phone call, every text and email and never told me that there was something she couldn’t do. Even when things went wrong, she was there to make sure it was made right. I truly consider her family now. She went above and beyond for me for two years and even more throughout my wedding night. I cannot thank her enough.
My bridal attendant, Sasha was a pure treasure. She was with me the whole day and constantly made sure I was drinking, eating, and happy. She came to all of our photos and was so sweet to take some of her own just to send me the next day. She’s an amazing person and I was so lucky to have her.
The food was out of sight!! My family is Italian so we added A LOT to the menu and there wasn’t one bad thing I had. I honestly wish I ate more but I heard it was incredible.
I could cry from all of the gratitude I feel for this incredible company. My wedding day was everything I wanted and I am so glad I chose NYBG. this place will forever hold the most special place in my heart. I can’t wait to come back every year, and reminisce about the time we had.

Chantal was the MVP of our wedding!

We just had our wedding at the NYBG in the Garden Terrace room. We worked with Chantal who could not have been more helpful and enjoyable to work with. She helped us curate our dream day and worked with us every step of the way to personalize the tiniest details. She was responsive, patient, and overall had an incredibly positive attitude. We have nothing to say but overwhelmingly positive things about working with her. Truly a delight.
