Jasmine Sent on 03/24/2026Best Wedding Venue with Amazing Food
Our wedding at The Mill was absolutely incredible. The staff made sure that the day went flawlessly. They were so attentive to detail and helpful in every way imaginable. For example, I somehow managed to spill something yellow on my dress right before heading out for our reception and first dance. The staff noticed the stain right away and helped remove it before our grand appearance! I feel like for anything that could possibly go wrong, they had a solution for it which helped alleviate stress and worry on our big day. Susan and Tyler were amazing wedding coordinators who helped capture our vision through various pre-wedding meetings. They were always available for questions and very helpful in the overall planning process. Their expertise made planning our day so much easier. We cannot say enough wonderful things about The Mill… from the venue atmosphere/ landscaping, to the amazing cocktail hour, to the delicious reception food, and the wonderful staff- we truly cannot express how AMAZING this venue was and we are BEYOND HAPPY we got married here! 10/10 recommend having your wedding here.The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:

The Most Amazing Night Of Our Lives
Having our wedding at The Mill Lakeside Manor was truly amazing. It was the best day of our lives. The entire wedding process was so seamless from the minute we signed our contract to the end. Sue, our wedding coordinator, couldn't have been more kind and amazing and helpful. The staff was beyond amazing and so attentive. My guests are STILL raving about it and about how well they were taken care of the entire night. They're also raving about how DELICIOUS the food was!! There is NO way anyone goes home hungry between the cocktail hour, the meal, and the hangover station food. We LOVE everyone at The Mill Lakeside Manor and will recommend them to anyone who is looking at venues! Now we're so excited for the alumni events so we can go back!!The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Hi Sarah,
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such an honor to be part of your special day. We’re thrilled to hear that everything — from the food to the service — exceeded your expectations and that your guests had such a wonderful experience. Your happiness means the world to us, and we can’t wait to see you both again at our alumni events!

Casey Sent on 02/11/2026We love The Mill!
My husband and I started researching wedding venues in January 2025 and stumbled upon The Mill. We had never attended a wedding there but had heard positive reviews from others who had been there before. They were responsive and flexible with our schedule to come and tour the venue. We met Racquel, who answered our many questions and we left the tour being so impressed with the beauty, warmth, and all that’s included when you elect The Mill for your wedding venue. We booked shortly after and from that point forward, The Mill was first-class treatment all the way. The cake and food tastings were incredible. Our parents joined us at the food tasting and we left stuffed and excited for our options! In weeks leading up to the wedding, our coordinator changed to Mya, who was quickly in touch with us and caught up on all the details surrounding our wedding. On our wedding day, Angela was my bridal attendant who was with me every step of the way throughout the day. She bustled my dress and even helped me change my shoes from heels to sneakers! Tyler was our maitre'd and kept all of us on track and organized through the entire day. We had three young flower girls in our wedding party- even they were taken care of by everyone from the kitchen to the event staff. We cannot say enough positive things about our entire day- and our guests are still raving about the food six weeks later! You will not have a single regret if you choose to get married at The Mill!

Katie Sent on 02/02/2026Best Night of my LIFE!!!
THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! I can't say enough good things about the venue. Everyone from the event coordinator to all the staff was so professional, polite and so hardworking. The Mill provided an outstanding night to not only me but every one of my guests. The number of texts I received about the delicious food (there is so much food your guests will be amazed - even offers a second dinner is a one kind experience), incredible service, and how well run of an organization you are proves why they are always booked for weddings. Tyler and the rest of the bridal assistants were fantastic and didn't complain once about going outside in 12-degree weather to hold my dress/belongings. It was the happiest and best nights I will remember forever. I am begging my friends to get married there so I can be a guest. If you are looking for a venue that is a one stop shop for EVERYTHING (decor included) you need to book this venue.The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Hi Katie,
Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review! We’re beyond happy to hear how much you and your guests loved your day—from the food to the service to our amazing team will love reading this! Even 12-degree weather can’t stop us from making your day amazing!
Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness—and we hope to welcome you back as a guest one day!
Best always,

Jenna Sent on 12/28/2025Best day of our lives!
The Mill Lakeside Manor was the very first venue my husband and I toured, and before we even walked out of the building, we were ready to book it. There is something special about The Mill, we got that feeling immediately and knew it was the one. Our wedding was the best day of our lives, and every part of it was perfect. That wasn’t by fate or coincidence — every member of The Mill’s team goes above and beyond to thoughtfully curate an unforgettable experience. Throughout the planning process, we worked with our wedding coordinator, Christopher, who was kind, helpful, and informative. His clear communication made our 1.5 years of wedding planning smooth and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. For a full circle moment, Christopher was there to greet us on our wedding day and ensure our day started smoothly. Alongside Christopher was our maitre'd, Tyler. Tyler was unbelievable. His calm demeanor, clear communication, and composed approach made our wedding day feel effortless. His presence and guidance was much appreciated not only by my husband and me, but also our parents and our bridal party. Tyler made sure they were all taken care of throughout the day. Devon was my bridal attendant and another standout member of The Mill. She was incredibly patient and attentive, anticipated every need, and was always there to help without hesitation. Almost two months later, our guests are STILL raving about their experience at our wedding. Our parents’ friends are saying it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever attended, and our friends keep sharing their favorite foods from cocktail hour (all different from each other!). On top of that, we received endless compliments about the beautiful venue, the stunning outdoor ceremony space, and the kind, attentive staff who helped make the night extra special. The Mill Lakeside Manor is without a doubt, the best place to have your wedding. My husband and I so desperately want someone we know to get married here so we can experience it as a guest!! Thank you to The Mill and all your staff for helping create such a special, and unforgettable day for us :)The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Hi Jenna,
Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review. We’re so honored that The Mill felt right from the very first visit and that your wedding day lived up to everything you hoped for. Hearing how much you and your guests enjoyed every part of the experience truly means the world to us.
Your kind words about Christopher, Tyler, and Devon will absolutely be shared — they take so much pride in what they do, and they’ll be so touched to read this. Knowing your guests are still talking about the food, the service, and the atmosphere is the best compliment we could receive.
Thank you for trusting The Mill with such an important day. We’d love nothing more than to welcome you back again — hopefully next time on the guest side or at our alumni events!
Best wishes,
The Mill Lakeside Manor Family

Christina Sent on 11/23/2025Book it, now!
Having our wedding at the Mill was the best decision we could've made and will be thankful for that entire staff for the rest of our lives. Our 18 month engagement was filled with tons of back and forth with Sue - the GREATEST coordinator - who answered every email, phone call, and silly question with true and genuine care.
The day itself was beyond perfect thanks to Sue, Tyler, Ang, and the rest of the Mill staff. Their professionalism made us feel at ease immediately and they all became fast friends quickly! A month later and we still bring up how much we love Ang.
The Mill itself is stunning, the fall foliage & landscaping is so perfect and made a flawless backdrop for our ceremony and photos - elevating every picture. The extras touches and services they provided to our guests left a lasting impression. Not exaggerating, every person that's reached out has confidently said that we had the best wedding they've ever been to in their lives.
THE FOOD is not to be believed. The cocktail hour is not only outrageous (positive) in what they offer but also in the quality of the food. The dinner, and offering seconds also had guests in awe!! Everything was delicious.
The love and effort that the team put into our wedding, and I'm sure every wedding, is so special and helps elevate the happiness and positivity in the air. Our next mission is to get invited to a wedding at the Mill so we can experience it all again as guests!
Thank you all so so much!

Christina & Steve,
Thank you so much for this beautiful review. It truly means the world to us. It was an absolute joy being part of your 18-month journey, and hearing how special your day felt fills us with so much gratitude.
Your kind words about Sue, Tyler, Ang, and our entire team touched all of us. We’re thrilled that you felt cared for and supported every step of the way — and that your guests are still talking about the food, service, and stunning fall setting!
Thank you again for choosing The Mill for such an important moment in your lives. You’ll always be part of our Mill family, and we hope we get to welcome you back as guests one day!
Best wishes always,

Jordan Sent on 10/30/2025Don't think twice - book The Mill!
There are truly no words to capture how we felt about The Mill! Don't think twice - book The Mill as your wedding venue!! We got married a few weeks ago on 10/10/25, and are still obsessing over how perfect the day was - and so much of that credit goes to The Mill's incredible staff, exceptional service, and beautiful venue.
For starters, the venue is stunning - it is purpose built and they have thought of everything. It is so beautiful having the lake as the backdrop and with the deck off of the cocktail hour room. The cocktail hour room is spacious with ample room with seating and space for mingling. Even the foyer is stunning! My all time favorite is the stunning landscaping which is always looking fresh & well kept. All of the details make the day more seamless than I could have ever imagined.
We were so fortunate to meet with Christopher from on our first tour and even luckier that he became our coordinator. From the start (over a year in advance), Christopher was kind, helpful, and always responsive. He reliably and quickly answered ALL of our endless questions with grace, patience, and professionalism - whether it was vendor recommendations, schedule timing, decor decisions, sending us video clips of the venue when we needed it since we live in the DC area, and much much more. He deserves a huge shoutout and if you get the chance to work with him consider yourself lucky!
Throughout the entire planning process they made us feel at ease as every detail is thought of and addressed. Their attention to detail made it so we didn't even need to hire a wedding planner. Every aspect was handled with care & passion.
The Mill hires the best of the best, because everyone we encountered was incredible, beyond kind, professional, and offered the kind of attentive service that made you & your guests feel like royalty. We had the best day-of team imaginable, with Tyler as our Maitre'd and Devan as my bridal attendant. They were by our sides when we needed them and frequently & gently checked in with us throughout the night to make sure things were on schedule/to see if we needed anything/you name it. All members at The Mill were professional, kind, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect.
As you will hear from anyone that has been to a wedding here, the food is UNMATCHED. They offer a variety cuisines during the cocktail hour and one thing is better than the next! The quality of the dinner options make it hard to choose (we had so much fun at our wedding food tasting to say the least!) - everything is off the charts and they go around offering seconds. After that there's traveling treats for dessert and wedding cake - truly unreal!
Our friends & family are still raving about how much fun they had and how amazing our wedding was. We couldn't imagine celebrating our wedding anywhere else. We would recommend The Mill to anyone who will listen - do yourself a favor and check them out.The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Hi Jordan,
Wow, thank you so much for this amazing review! Reading your words truly made our day. It means the world to know that your wedding was everything you dreamed of and more. Our team loved being a part of your celebration, and we’ll be sure to pass along your sweet shoutouts to Christopher, Tyler, and Devan — they’ll be so touched!
We’re so grateful you chose The Mill to be part of such a special moment in your lives. Wishing you both endless love, laughter, and happy memories as you begin this next chapter together.
Warm wishes,

Best wedding day ever!
Had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Mill on 9/14/25, and it was the best decision we ever made! Everything was handled so beautifully by the staff, especially my wedding coordinator Christopher Mierta, my Maitre De Tyler, and Angela who was my bridal attendant. The day went so smoothly, and the day went absolutely perfectly. Everyone was so accommodating and kind, and was able to help me with the planning process along the way with extreme care and precision. The venue is truly stunning, and the ceremony space was so full of flowers it didn’t even need any decorations or additional florals. If I know anyone getting married in the future, I will 100% be recommending the Mill to couples. It was the best day of our lives and we would do it the exact same way if we could relive the day!The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Hi Eileen,
Thank you so much for sharing these kind words—it truly means the world to us. We’re so honored to have been a part of your wedding day and thrilled to hear that it was everything you hoped for and more.
A special thank you for recognizing Christopher, Tyler, and Angela—we’re so proud to have them on our team, and they will be so touched to know they helped make your day run so smoothly. Your appreciation for their care and attention means everything.
We're so happy you loved the ceremony space and felt supported throughout the planning process. Knowing you’d choose The Mill all over again is the highest compliment we could receive.
Wishing you both a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Thank you again for trusting us with such a special day!

I truly cannot share enough positive words and praise about our wedding at The Mill. From the moment we had our first tour appointment with Sue, through the final moment of our wedding with Tyler, absolutely everything was perfect. Every part of planning was made so easy working with Sue and she was always there to answer any and all of my questions. Everything went so smoothly and perfectly the day of and I don't think there will be a time when the guests don't stop raving about the cocktail hour and all of the food. I'll be forever telling anyone looking for a wedding venue to visit the Mill - it was a no brainer decision for us and I would do it a million times over!The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:

Andrea Sent on 08/20/2025Highly Recommend!!
We had our wedding at the Mill a few weeks ago and it was the most perfect and beautiful day, even better than we imagined. From the beginning, the Mill is so organized and professional. They take care of all of the details so you do not need to worry about anything. They ask questions, are always available to provide advice or help, and ensure that they fully understand your vision. On top of this, everyone we worked with was so friendly, caring, and genuine. Christopher was our wedding coordinator and Tyler our Maitre’d. They both went above and beyond to ensure our day was so special. The day-of ran seamlessly, they were on top of the timeline and kept checking in with us and our guests to ensure everything was perfect. We did not need to worry about anything. The wait staff was so professional and had white glove service that was choreographed. There were not any details they did not consider. Our guests were so impressed by the kindness and professionalism of all staff. They consistently went above and beyond for us throughout the entire process.
In terms of the venue itself - it is beautiful and the food is plentiful and delicious. Cocktail hour in particular is unmatched with the options provided, the way they are presented in stations and traditionally, and with the indoor/outdoor hybrid atmosphere. There is a lot to do and so many beautiful locations on site to explore.The reception area is a beautiful room with high ceilings. There is an outdoor balcony to watch the sunset and plenty of space for guests to mingle. The two bars are large and gorgeous. Desserts are presented as traveling treats (they offer traditional venetian as well), which includes wait staff moving around the room and dance floor with things such as cupcakes, build your own cannoli, and more. Guests had an amazing time and were blown away by the beauty of the venue, food offerings, and attention to detail. Now after the wedding, we are invited to come back for Alumni events and encouraged to keep in touch. We feel so fortunate that we were able to have our special day somewhere as special as the Mill and recommend the venue so highly.

If gorgeous views, amazing food, and a superb staff are all things you’re looking for in a venue, run don’t walk to book the Mill for your wedding! Having our wedding here was a ten out of ten experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked through the doors to tour the space, we were treated like family. Our wedding coordinator, Sue, was so knowledgeable and friendly, and truly helped guide us through the whole process of what our wedding would entail. When the day came, we were simply blown away by the attentiveness of all the staff. Tyler, our maitre’d took care of every last detail and made sure we had nothing to worry about but enjoying the day with each other. Angela, my bridal attendant was fabulous and there for anything I needed, including bustling my dress. I could go on and on with more wonderful things to say (the extensive and delicious food options, the gorgeous lake, the beautiful ballroom, etc.) but the main thing you should know is that if you choose to have your wedding here, you are in great hands and should be prepared to have the best day ever!The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:

Easiest Choice of Wedding Planning
When my husband and I got engaged, The Mill was the first, one, and only venue that we toured. We instantly fell in love with all it had to offer and booked it on the spot. It has everything you can imagine and offers many perks to take advantage of to lighten the load of wedding planning such as options to provide center pieces, table numbers, endless food options, etc. The staff goes above and beyond to make all of your dreams come true from the small to big details. They were so attentive and accommodating every step of the way through helping us plan and execute the perfect day. Chris, Tyler, and Devon were the best team we could ask for. We will always be grateful for them and that we chose The Mill for our special day.The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:

Matthew Sent on 07/12/2025Incredible!
Seriously consider The Mill for your wedding!! You need to visit it and see the property for yourself, it’s stunning! The Mill and its entire team were absolutely incredible. Our wedding Coordinator Christopher was the best from day one! They made all our dreams for our wedding possible. Every call and email answered as fast as possible, and if Chris wasn’t available another coordinator took the call and helped answer our questions. From the moment you book the venue the entire Mill team is at your service, and it’s literally not an exaggeration. I’ve never experienced better service, care, and dedication to making a wedding possible. They were all incredibly accommodating, comforting, welcoming, and by the day of the wedding I felt like the entire staff were also my friends celebrating with me. I can’t say enough good about this place. Oh wait! The food was some of the best I’ve ever had and a wedding and my guests said the same thing. The second best decision I ever made was booking The Mill for our wedding (the first was asking my now wife to marry me)!The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Hi Matthew,
Thank you so much for this amazing review! Your kind words truly mean the world to us. We’re so honored that The Mill could be such a special part of your love story—and wow, what a day it was!
Christopher (and the whole team!) absolutely loved working with you both, and hearing that you felt supported, welcomed, and celebrated throughout the entire planning process is exactly what we hope every couple experiences. Your trust and enthusiasm made it a joy to bring your vision to life.
And we’re so glad the food made a lasting impression too—our culinary team will be thrilled to hear that!
Your “second best decision” line gave us all the feels—we’re so happy you chose us and hope to see you again, maybe even as a guest at another Mill wedding down the road. Wishing you and your wife a lifetime of happiness, laughter, and unforgettable memories together.

If you're looking for a venue that cares as much as you do, look no further. From the moment we toured The Mill Lakeside Manor, we knew it was were we wanted to get married. Planning our wedding was seamless from start to finish. What truly set this venue apart was how stress-free the entire experience was. I never once felt overwhelmed or worried—everything was handled with such professionalism, care, and genuine warmth. Being able to use their beautiful décor, from centerpieces to welcome signs, took so much off our plate and allowed us to focus on what really mattered—being married. The entire team went above and beyond to make sure not only the bride and groom were happy, but that our families felt just as important. The staff worked tirelessly to ensure every detail was perfect, and they succeeded. We are forever grateful to the incredible team for making our day unforgettable.The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:

My husband and I got married at The Mill on April 26, 2025 and it was the best day of our lives which was largely due to the staff at The Mill and everything they have to offer. From the first day we toured the venue, to all the days leading up to the wedding day, Sue and her team were extremely attentive and responsive, as well as proactive in making sure we were on track with our wedding planning. In addition to the service leading up to the wedding, The Mill provides an incredible amount of decor (if you choose to use it) that alleviates so much stress out of the wedding planning process. From welcome signs to centerpieces, everything was more beautiful than I could have picked out myself. The wedding day itself was nothing short of perfect. Everyone at The Mill goes above and beyond to make sure the ceremony and celebration are exceptional. Tyler and his team ran the day so that we didn’t have to think about a thing. Not only were they extremely attentive to me and my husband (making sure we had all the food and drinks we wanted and that everything kept to the schedule we agreed to), but they were specifically attentive to both our parents which made them feel special as well. The guests could not stop raving about the food at the cocktail hour, the spread that The Mill puts out is insane and delicious. It is worth mentioning that it absolutely poured on our wedding day, meaning we couldn’t have the ceremony outside as planned, however, Sue and Tyler were on top of it and we ended up having the most perfect indoor ceremony. We weren’t even thinking about the weather, that’s how amazing everything was. Bottom line - Sue and Tyler and the entire team at The Mill are the best in the industry and we cannot recommend The Mill enough!!The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Dear Eileen,
Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts for your beautiful words! It was such an honor to be part of your special day, and we’re so thrilled to hear how much you and your families felt cared for. Rain or shine, your love lit up The Mill, and we’re so grateful to have shared in the magic. Wishing you a lifetime of joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories! 💛

Patricia Sent on 05/04/2025Unforgettable Wedding at The Mill Lakeside Manor!
From the moment we began planning our special day to the final dance of the evening, our experience at The Mill exceeded every expectation we could have imagined. We cannot thank the incredible team, who made our wedding absolutely perfect, enough.
Chris welcomed us from our very first site visits with warmth and expertise, guiding us through every decision with patience and genuine care. His attention to detail and ability to understand exactly what we envisioned for our celebration was remarkable.
Tyler's coordination on the wedding day itself was nothing short of masterful. From orchestrating the precise timing of the ceremony to ensuring the reception flowed seamlessly, he maintained a calm, reassuring presence that allowed us to be fully present in every moment. When an unexpected rain shower threatened our outdoor ceremony, Tyler personally went out to the garden ensuring everything was dry once it passed!
Angela's service throughout the reception deserves special recognition. She had a sixth sense for exactly when we needed something—a fresh drink appeared at the perfect time, running next to the bride to escape the rain during pictures, and somehow managed to make sure we actually ate the incredible food! Her genuine enthusiasm for our happiness made us feel like we were being cared for by family.
And Erica—where do I even begin? Her flawless management of the catering team resulted in dining service that our guests are still raving about!
The entire team at The Mill anticipated our needs before they arose. From making sure our flower girls had chicken fingers before they walked down the aisle to Angela appearing with shout wipes and club soda to get grass stains out of the train of my dress. Our wedding day could have been stressful—instead, it was pure joy from start to finish.

If we could give 20 stars, we would. From the initial venue visit all the way through to decor pick-up, the Mill took such amazing care of us and all of our guests. Their passion for serving their couples/guests and making sure our special day was unforgettable is so evident in every detail. The food, the space, their communication, their helpfulness, their amazing staff - it sets them apart from any other venue. Chris, our coordinator, held our hand from day 1 through the day of our wedding and we truly couldn’t have done it without his guidance every step of the way. Tyler and Erika were outstanding maitre d’s and made sure our entire day ran smoothly for us, our VIPs and every single guest. Julia, our bridal attendant, was glued to our side from the second we got there to the second we left to ensure my husband and I were taken care of at all times. All of the bar, wait, and kitchen staff went above and BEYOND in every aspect. We felt like royalty because of the Mill’s excellent staff and we couldn’t thank them enough. Our guests have not stopped raving about the beauty of the Mill, their food, and the outstanding staff and service they received. We truly couldn’t recommend the Mill enough and were so happy to be part of The Mill Alumni Family 🤍The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Hi Leah,
Thank you so much for the kind words and wonderful review! It was an absolute joy to be part of your special day. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. We hope to see you at alumni events soon!

My Husband and I got married at the Mill on Friday, 2/21/25. We cannot rant and rave enough about The Mill and the entire staff. They went above and beyond to make our wedding so special and everything that we could have wanted. From the food, to the drinks, to the atmosphere, everything was absolutely SUPERB! Our guests keep calling and texting us to let us know how great the wedding was. They can't get over how amazing the cocktail hour was, how awesome the top shelf liquor selection was, and how they were so shocked that they were all able to get seconds for their dinner and even were able to box up unfinished food to take home! So many of our guests have told us that this was the best wedding that they have ever been to. We 100% agree!
Sue was our wedding coordinator and was extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process. She was always responsive and attentive to every little detail. On the day of the wedding having her there to ease our stress/nerves was perfect! She also got several behind the scenes pictures and videos for us throughout the day. We love Sue! :)
Tyler is the Maitre d and we cannot say enough great things about him too! He was there for our every want and need throughout the day and made the day run so smoothly. Tyler is the man! :)
Devon was our "Bridal" Attendant and she was there for our every want and need as well. She made sure we both had drinks in our hands throughout the entire night and even reminded us when our food came out, so that we didn't miss it.
Maryann was so fun and lively any time we spoke to her we walked away with a smile. We wanted her to join the party!
Overall, the experience was a 10 out of 10 that we wouldn't change for anything. If you are on the fence about whether to book the Mill or not for your wedding, don't wait....BOOK IT NOW! :)The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting our wedding at The Mill Lakeside Manor, and it truly exceeded all expectations! From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional.
The venue itself is elegant, with breathtaking views that set a perfect backdrop for our big day - the stunning November weather helped, as well - New Jersey was truly showing off! The atmosphere was both sophisticated and inviting, which made it the perfect setting for our guests to feel both elegant and comfortable - like having our cocktail hour in our living room with our closest friends and family! The combination of the stunning lakeside location and the beautifully designed space made everything feel magical. The 360 bar also allowed for guests to quickly get their drinks to compliment the various cocktail hour stations!
The food was another highlight. The cocktail hour spread was more than we could have ever imagined—an abundance of delicious options that kept our guests satisfied all night long. The variety ensured there was something for everyone, and the presentation was flawless. In addition to the absolutely breathtaking cocktail hour, all of the entrees were so delicious and people are still talking about all of the food at our wedding. It was hard to make room for dessert but everyone managed to enjoy a few cannolis and cookies!
What stood out the most was the incredible service we received throughout the entire planning process and especially on the day of the wedding. Christopher was absolutely amazing and made us feel so special and comfortable - like working with a friend from the start; he was attentive and responsive and was there for us every step of the way! Tyler and the entire staff had a can-do attitude and were attentive to every detail, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and giving our guests one of the best nights of their life (and certainly made sure we have the best night of our lives)! They made us feel like we were the only couple in the world, and their support truly made the day stress-free.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better venue. The gorgeous views, the elegant atmosphere, the delicious food, the attention to detail and the top-notch service made our wedding day unforgettable! If you’re looking for a venue that offers both beauty and impeccable service, The Mill Lakeside Manor is the perfect choice - they have truly mastered the art of running a flawless wedding start to finish!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding day, and so much of that is thanks to The Mill Lakeside Manor and their incredible staff! From the moment we stepped into the venue, we knew it was the right place for us, and the experience only got better from there. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. Nestled by the lake, the stunning views provided the perfect backdrop. The elegance of the space created an atmosphere that felt both luxurious and welcoming. Our guests were in awe of the setting, and it was everything we had imagined and more. What truly made our wedding day unforgettable, however, was the amazing staff at The Mill. From the very beginning of our planning process, they were attentive, thoughtful, and incredibly accommodating. On the big day, the staff was there every step of the way, managing the timeline, ensuring everything ran smoothly, and taking care of all the details—so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We especially want to thank our coordinator Susan and Maitre d Tyler for keeping everything on track and for being so calm and reassuring when we needed it. The service was impeccable, but let's talk about the food—it was absolutely amazing! We received countless compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was. From the cocktail hour to the main courses, every dish was perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The traveling desserts addition was also a huge hit! The Mill truly exceeded our expectations when it came to the quality and presentation of the food, and we felt like every guest was treated to a fine-dining experience. Our guests continue to call us to rave about The Mill!. The Mill Lakeside Manor not only gave us a gorgeous venue but provided exceptional service and a memorable dining experience that made our wedding day truly special. If you’re looking for a venue that offers breathtaking views, flawless service, and food that will wow your guests, we cannot recommend The Mill enough.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. The Mill was amazing for our wedding. It’s easy to rave about the food or the beauty of the venue, but what really makes The Mill stand out is the people there. The attention to detail they have is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Their ability to take care myself and my now wife, our parents, and everyone else who was in attendance was unbelievable. One example that stands out is when a waiter noticed that one of our guests hadn’t eaten much of her main course for dinner. They came over and asked if they didn’t like their selection. When they responded that they didn’t, the waiter helped assemble a plate of different parts from all of our entree selections to create something that guest liked. It’s something like that which makes all the difference in the world for your wedding. I genuinely cannot thank the staff here enough for making our wedding day an absolute dreamThe Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Hi Dan,
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! It was truly an honor for us be part of such a special moment in your lives.
Seeing everything come together—your beautiful decor, the joy on your faces, and the love shared by your friends and family—was the highlight of our team’s efforts. Your trust in us made it all possible, and we’re so grateful for the opportunity to help bring your dream day to life.
We wish you a lifetime filled with as much love, laughter, and happiness as your wedding day held. We hope to see you and your wife at our alumni events soon!

Absolute dream wedding venue
We got married at the Mill in October 2024. The entire day was perfect, and every part of the day was even better than we could have expected. We felt so taken care of and supported. The entire Mill staff was extremely professional and made sure every detail was flawless. Our families, our officiant, and our guests were all impressed and are continuing to tell us how much fun they had and how incredible the Mill was!! Everyone loved the food and the venue as a whole. Not only were the staff completely attentive to us throughout the night, making sure we had everything (food, drinks, temporary peace and quiet) we needed, but they made a special point of taking care of our parents in the same way too.
We don’t live in New Jersey, but Sue made out-of-state wedding planning easy. She was clear and communicative via email, and always happy to hop on the phone or FaceTime with me. We also did our final details meeting with Tyler over Zoom, and I was a little worried about not being in-person for it, but I had no reason to worry because Tyler is such a pro and knew exactly what to ask. Sue and Tyler, we can’t thank you enough!!
Everyone warned us that something always goes wrong on a wedding day, but truly nothing went wrong on ours and we know that’s thanks to everyone at the Mill. We are so grateful. Thank you for making the day everything we hoped for and more.
If you’re considering The Mill for your wedding venue, book it!! And then invite us, so we can party again at our favorite place.

We had our wedding at the Mill in September 2024. We can't say enough great things about this venue! They were so kind and helpful from the very beginning! They really do include so much that they offer the couples, from beautiful choices of tablecloths, cake stands, card boxes, centerpieces and more! The day of our wedding they were so accommodating and really made us feel so special! The service there was incredible! I had to change around tables last minute because of some guests not being able to attend and they were so accommodating and made it work within minutes! Our guest could not stop talking about how great the food was and how beautiful the venue was! (It was raining the night of our wedding so our guest didn't even get to enjoy the beautiful deck and outside area) and they still couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the place was.

WOW. Where do I begin?! We were absolutely blown away by this venue and their team on our wedding day. From the moment we toured, we knew this was our place. It is an all inclusive venue with SO much food, decor and signage you can use, and setup and breakdown. The grounds are stunning and they just updated their outdoor ceremony area so it’s even more beautiful!
Our coordinator Racquel was always quick to respond to our emails with any questions we may have while we were planning. The day of the wedding, their team really delivered. From the moment we got there, their bridal attendant Julia was on top of making sure I was taken care of from getting me water, to holding my train or bouquet. She also made sure we were fed! The venue even gave us wedding day gifts based on our likes (my husband got new DND dice and I got a cat mom mug, it was so sweet!) The cocktail hour and dinner blew our guests away. Tyler, our maitre d, also went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and where we needed to be at what time.
So many of our guests, including one that was a maitre d at a popular North Jersey venue for 15+ years, said between the food, service, and grounds, it was the BEST wedding they’ve ever been to. And not to be biased, but we could NOT agree more! You will absolutely not be disappointed in choosing this venue. Your wedding day will go smoothly and stress free with the care and service The Mill Lakeside Manor provides.The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:

I honestly do not know where to begin. My husband and I recently got married at The Mill and we cannot find all the words to express how happy we are with our decision. We would choose The Mill over and over again. Both we and our families cannot recommend The Mill enough. From the very beginning and at our initial tour, the staff treated us with upmost respect and hospitality. We toured a total of four venues, but The Mill stuck out to us the most, making our decision one of the easiest.
Susan, our wedding coordinator, was simply THE BEST! Susan was so accommodating and prompt with any replies to questions/requests we made. She went over the top with EVERYTHING and made sure all of our visions came to reality.
My wedding day was MAGICAL! Although the weather was not the very best for an outdoor ceremony; The Mill accommodated us in every way. I cannot express how appreciative we are and delighted with our last-minute indoor setup. Our guests are still raving about the ceremony.
We had a handful of guests who are handicapped. The layout of the venue was so handicap accessible. Everyone was a part of each aspect of wedding, no matter their disability, which was so important to us.
The food was EXCEPTIONAL!!! Cocktail hour was incredible and the station options were so delicious we did not know which ones to choose. We are so happy with our choices. Although CH was full of greetings and photos, Julia, our bridal attendant went out of her way to make sure we got bites of each station and passed horderves. Vin and I were able to celebrate together, intimately, at the beginning of CH in the bridal suite with our signature drinks and so much food. Dinner was DELICIOUS! Every guest complimented the food, no matter what meal they selected.
The reception room was so spacious!! Our guests sat comfortably at the tables and we were able to fit a Photo Booth, guest book table, cake table, and table to honor those who have passed. We had plenty of space to dance the night away. Guests were blown away from the entrances we all made with the automatic door entryway. The view of the lake is breath taking! No matter where you are on premises, there is so much beauty around you. Photos can be shot from anywhere!
Tyler, our Matridee, was incredible. He ran the show so smoothly and was so attentive to our preferences and requests. He was hardworking and very dedicated.
We love how our time at The Mill has not ended even after our wedding has passed. We are looking forward to all the fundraiser events and alumni events hosted.
I can rave about The Mill until I am blue in the face. There is truly not a single thing I have to say negatively about The Mill. With that said, if you are looking for a one-stop shop and a highly accommodating and affordable venue, look no further. The Mill is it! We rate The Mill with 5 golden stars. -

Our wedding would not have been so magical if not for The Mill and their amazing staff. From day 1 when we first toured the venue, we knew it was where we were going to get married. Sue was so unbelievably helpful and patient, and definitely talked me off a ledge more than once when we encountered a few guest-related issues in the run up to the big day. We are so grateful to her.
Grace was our attendant on the actual day and she was ready for anything. She was basically the fifth bridesmaid.
And of course, we are so thankful for Richard, who kept our wedding day running like a well-oiled machine and made last minute adjustments when we found out a whole table was not coming the night before our wedding. His vision during the final days of planning was beyond measure. We would have been lost without him.
There is no better place to get married on the planet. AND our guests are still talking about the incredible food, five months later.The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:

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!!The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:

Catherine Sent on 08/30/2023Absolutely amazing venue! You will not be disappointed!
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?!

I am writing this a little late as our wedding was in July 2022, but I knew I had to leave a review simply because our guests are still raving about our day. From the very first time I stepped foot in The Mill for our tour I knew this was going to be the place where we said "I Do" and that was just based on the beauty of the property. Along with the beautiful property, views and facility, The Mill has so much to offer that is included in the price (as well as some great things that can be added on) one of the best things being that there is only one wedding at a time. From the very beginning the staff at The Mill made the planning process smooth, simple and stress free. All the coordinators especially Richard, Jackie and Raquel were very nice, accommodating, helpful and attentive to any concerns or questions I had about my big day. I would assume most brides are ball of stress the day of their wedding, worrying about all the things that can go wrong and making sure not to forget anything. I can assure you that I was not one of those brides and I owe that all to the amazing and wonderful team at The Mill. Richard our Maître d made sure to keep everyone on schedule the day of by organizing the rehearsal day of, helping us line up for the ceremony and reception, as well as many other things. We were also blessed with the most amazing wait staff, and bridal attendant who went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Lastly, one of the most talked about things at any wedding, THE FOOD! This is the #1 thing our guests still rave about was how much food we had and how good it was. The cocktail hour alone had so much food people didn’t know what to do with themselves. OMG I am still dreaming about the food at our wedding, especially our main course the chateaubriand…. SO DELICOUS!
If I had to plan our wedding all over again I would 10000% choose The Mill. I loved our experience so much I am begging all of our friends to consider it just to be a guest and get to experience it again!

We had our wedding yesterday March 11, 2023 and I can't say this enough.. my day was truly perfect! Everything was on point! Richard and Grace I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for going above and beyond! I'm so grateful!
I've worked in restaurants my entire life and through all the photos and dancing I sat back at one point when dinner was starting and realized the amount of coordination and organization of the wait staff was so impeccable! The rotation was effortless. I have never seen that at an event ever!
The food was above and beyond, every single one of my guests had told us how amazing everything was from cocktail hour to the reception ... To the guests leaving and receiving food from the hangover station! It was just amazing!
Thank you to everyone at the Mill for honestly just creating the most PERFECT DAY! Everything was what I have dreamt of since I was a little girl!
Thank you for creating my fairytale ❤️The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:

Best wedding venue
We recently had our wedding on January 1st, 2023 and it was nothing short of perfect. Our guests have said it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to. From the grounds, spectacular staff, and outstanding food you won’t regret having your special day here. Our wedding coordinator Sue was so pleasant and a gem to work with. From beginning to end she helped us achieve the wedding of our dreams. Our maître d, Richard, was beyond wonderful. He made our night run so smooth and was always there for whatever we needed (even for when I got lipstick on my dress). I promise you, your guests will not leave hungry. There are so many great options to choose from for the cocktail hour and the reception. We even added on the Viennese hour for dessert which was such a hit! Honestly, the cherry on top is how beautiful this place is. It was truly made for the best wedding photos! Even the swans paid us a visit during our first look 🦢❤️ . If you’re getting married please do yourself a favor and book The Mill for your wedding, you will not regret it.The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:

Wedding Venue
All I can say is WOW!!! Please consider booking The Mill Lakeside Manor for your wedding. We have no regrets!!
Every one of ur guests have raved about this venue since the wedding, and said it was the best wedding ever!!
While this venue is expensive, you are getting so much for the price. The service is above and beyond, everyone that works there is so friendly and helpful. It rained on our wedding day, however we still have some amazing photos outside the venue, which turned out to be gorgeous!!
Sue our wedding coordinator, is amazing to work with! She answers emails in a timely manner, kept us on schedule for each wedding "to do" on our list, and the process was smooth and stress free. She is so sweet and we are so thankful to her for her help on our big day, helping with keeping. my wedding dress from getting wet for photos. Thank you so much Sue!!
The decor for the venue is so beautiful, we didn't really need to add much!! They also have beautiful uplighting and floral arrangements. There are other nice touches from the venue that they can provide more info for you if you decide to book with them.
Richard was outstanding!!! He also is very sweet, knowledgable and made sure my now husband and I were taken care of throughout the entire night. Not once did we have to search for him for any help, he was always there which we appreciated so much!! He even got us our signature drinks for us when he knew we had nothing to drink prior to arriving at the venue. A big thank you for everything!!
Our bridal attendant was also very professional and was there for us whenever we needed. Thank you so much!!
Trust me when I say, your wedding day will go smoothly and you will not have any worries at all. I felt so confident about this place after booking, and we know we made the best choice! I can be highly critical of things, but everyone at the Mill Lakeside Manor are so professional and helpful, you will have no regrets!!The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Hi Rebecca & Ricky,
There are not enough words in the world that can express how grateful we are for your amazingly kind message. We are so happy and honored that we had the chance to get to know you both and bring your dream wedding day to life here!

Where do I even start with The Mill??? My husband and I got married on 10/14 and I am still smiling from the day, which is due in large part to The Mill and the entire staff. I am a very organized and type A person and The Mill was always very responsive with any questions or concerns I had. The entire staff is excellent at communication and always keeps you in the loop with what needs to be done and the best ways to do it. Everything on our wedding day was PERFECT. We had our ceremony and reception at The Mill and all of our guests raved about every aspect. The food, drinks, and service were incredible and everyone felt pampered, but still relaxed from the beautiful environment. My husband and I keep saying we hope to one day get invited to a wedding at The Mill because we would love to go back and experience it all again!The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Hi Laurie & Kevin!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! It means the absolute world to us to hear you & Kevin had the best day! Thank you for trusting us to host your special day & we can’t wait to see you back here as a guest!

Oh my god. I genuinely don't know if I will be able to fully convey just how INCREDIBLE the Mill and their staff are. My husband and I got married on 10.30.22 and we truly start crying happy tears any time we think about our wedding day. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did to ensure we had the most enchanting day.
I want to start first with our experience as a couple in planning: Jacqueline (our wedding coordinator) went above and beyond on multiple occasions to help us out and ensure that our wedding was exactly what we wanted. At the time, my fiancé and I were living on the West Coast- everyone at the Mill was very accommodating of the time difference and our limited availability of coming on site. Richard (the Maitre D) was also incredibly attentive to details and responsive to messages. We were impressed with Richard and Jackie's ability to anticipate things we need and quick to problem solve. Richard and Jackie always led with yes. Anything we asked for they worked to see how they could make that work. It made the process so much easier knowing that they were working WITH us not against us. We really were a team. Not only does The Mill have a lot of decorations and supplies on site, but they take care of little details too if you forget (example: we wanted to hang our neon sign but when I dropped off the decor two days before the wedding we realized we didn't have zip-ties. It was not a problem at all. I offered to get some but Jackie immediately said no and took care of it herself.) You truly couldn't be in better hands than at The Mill.
The day of: Everything was perfect. Literally. They have a strong group of staff members that truly take care of everything. The entire day went smoothly and my husband and I did not have to worry about a single thing. (Even when he ripped his pants. Julia the bridal attendant quickly rushed to get a giant box of supplies that had safety pins that we used to patch him up)
From our guests: The food was FANTASTIC. So many of my guests lost their minds during the cocktail hour with all of the different options. Not to mention the dinner was phenomenal AND seconds were offered. We got a lot of feedback from our friends that the bar staff was great, even at the busiest they didn't have to wait more than 30 seconds to get a drink. This was essential to keeping the dance floor full. Staff was respectful, kind, and professional. Our guests keep saying this was the best wedding that they've ever attended.
Do not hesitate to book The Mill. I'm so serious. The venue itself is breathtaking, the town of Spring Lake is gorgeous, but it is the staff at The Mill that really made the entire experience so special. We truly felt as if we were part of the family. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us.The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Megan & Devin, This is by far one of the nicest reviews we have ever received. Your kind words mean more than you will ever know and the reason we absolutely LOVE what we do!! We 100% agree that it was the perfect day fir an absolutely perfect couple. Your little thoughtful touches, like including your dog in your ceremony, is what really put it over the top! We are forever grateful for our relationship and hope to see you both soon! We are excited to see what life brings you next!!

Megan Sent on 10/13/2022So Incredibly Happy
I do not know where to start. Sue, Richard, and the entire Mill staff made our wedding planning experience and our wedding day smooth and wonderful. Communication was excellent. We felt confident in the team and prepared for our day. The level of detail and care put into every step from the tour, food tasting, and wedding day is impressive.
Our pre-ceremony photos taken in the bridal suite, grooms suite, and outdoors were beautiful. You cannot beat the atmosphere, inside or outside.
Our wedding party was large, consisting of 24 adults who, were so excited, they struggled to listen. Richard whipped them into shape in the best way possible to prepare them for the ceremony and everyone is still saying, "Richard is the man." Haha!
We got married inside because a thunderstorm began 30 minutes before our ceremony. Our guests are still raving about the romantic atmosphere and the shades going up so they could see the beautiful lake. It was truly a wow factor.
Our guests were also ecstatic about the food at cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert. My husband and I are big foodies from Philadelphia and we thoroughly enjoyed the food.
The reception was flawless and lit! The service was amazing. The atmosphere could not be more beautiful. Our guests are still talking about it. We are so happy.The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Hi Megan & David,
Thank you so much for your very sweet words! Thank you again for letting us be a part of your special day! We want to wish you both tons of smiles, joy, laughter and many more memorable moments to come!! You both looked incredible!

If The Mill is even on your list of considerations, just do it. Having my wedding here was one of the best decisions I ever made!! The staff treat you like a member of their family! I worked with Sue and Richard throughout my process and they are extremely proactive and have constant check ups with you. I felt so at ease during my wedding process and a lot of the credit goes to them for that!! The food is a really great and is a unique spread. The service is unmatched!! So many of my guests were voluntarily tipping the waiters because they were so impressed! The grounds are beautiful and so many things come included with the venue, such as the centerpieces. It’s a true jersey shore gem. if I could live at this venue full time, I literally would (lol)!The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:

BOOK. THE. MILL! The best decision we made when wedding planning was booking the Mill Lakeside Manor as our wedding venue. From the second we walked in the doors on our first visit and saw the beauty of the space, outdoor areas and overall quality of the venue we knew that was where we wanted to get married. We didn’t tour one other venue because truly, the Mill has it all! The entire staff is so kind and helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process and the day of they truly treat you like royalty. Richard was so amazing for our details meeting and the day of he kept us laughing and was handing me things I needed I swear before I even thought I needed it. Our planners Ashley and Sue were so awesome, friendly and quick to respond to any question I had. The waitstaff was so kind to all of our guests during the wedding and many guests made comments of how kind everyone around was. They were very flexible and accommodating to all of our requests and I truly couldn’t be happier to have chosen such a professional and FUN venue to get married at. We got married at the end of April and their tulip gardens were stunning with tulips every where you looked, making for amazing photos. The cocktail hour food is plentiful and amazing, and dinner was incredible. We have had people telling us for months now that it was the best food they have ever eaten at a wedding. Overall, 10/10, book the Mill and you will have an absolutely perfect wedding day!The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:

Magical day at the mill
I don’t have words to describe how amazing the Mill was for our wedding. We were married on May 6, 2021 after postponing twice due to covid. The Mill was so accomodating through all the changes and the staff made everything run so smoothly through our wedding day. Taylor was our coordinator and she was fantastic. Richard the maitre d was amazing the day of the wedding, everyone knew where they were supposed to be and what to do the day of. The bridal attendents made sure we were taken care of and fed during cocktail hour and made sure our drinks were filled throughout the reception. I wish I could get married again just to have another magical day at the mill. I am so happy we were married there it was truly a dream come true.The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:

What a great experience working with The Mill. we got married March 12, 2022 (a very cold day). The venue staff leading up to the day had amazing communication, was very on top of the timeline and was overall so pleasant to meet with. The day of the wedding, us ladies were running behind, yet not one thing went wrong and the staff kept everything on time. I even forgot to give the rings to the best man and one of my girls quietly told Richard during the ceremony and he ran down and found them, handing them down the line of the groomsman just in time! lol The food was amazing, and every picture we took even inside since it was so cold, was timeless. I know price is very important now a days and this venue was worth every penny. I hope a friend gets married here so I can really take it all in!

How to make a wedding as magical for the guests as it is for Bride and Groom.
It's always exciting to be invited to a wedding, a new beginning, a trusted bond, romance, tears (the happy kind), and being welcomed to share in the love as the couple takes their first steps in thier forever. We were, like all the guests there honored to be part of this next adventure into the future.
As you enter the venue, usually before the BIG entrance of the happy couple you take in your surroundings, say hello to family and friends, and absorb the aesthetics created for that once-in-a-lifetime day. Some wedding halls do it better than others, and last night was truly one of those nights.
Beautiful rich woodwork adorned the comforting and warm cocktail reception area with delicacies including freshly made mozzarella combined with my husband's beeline for the Oysters. Each station, each dish better than the last, forcing me to make a mental note to try and leave some room for the dinner.
The reception room was rich in a white opulence that truly made you feel as if you'd enter Cinderella's ball and dreading the stroke of midnight so you didn't have to make a hasty exit. A beautifully decorated entryway had guests transfixed as they introduced the families, bridal party, and last but never least, the guests of honor.
I have to mention that Emma our table waitress was attentive, sweet, kind, and quick on her feet. I loved the precision in which she had all the servers place the plates in front of the guests in perfect unison as if a drill sergeant had clicked their heels with a signal that only the team knew.
Maitre'd Richard McConney was there throughout the event making sure that each detail was attended to with an easy smile and a warm heart.
Kudos to the team at the Mill Lakeside Manor, your food exceptional, your service perfection, and the evening a great success.
Kudos to making the start of our cousins' new life together with a truly magical one.The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:

Kari Sent on 02/14/2022If you want a perfect wedding The Mill is where you book!
I don’t even know how I’m going to put into words how PERFECT our 2/4/22 wedding at the Mill was and just our overall experience there but I’m going to attempt. First off, we are a COVID couple that had to postpone due to the pandemic and the Mill was so incredibly helpful with navigating that process. Taylor and Jackie were there for us through literally everything. I feel like after two years working with them they might as well be family! They are so responsive, helpful and just amazing in every way! They even provided us with their social tables software to make doing tables easy peasy (gone are the days where you had to use sticky notes on a foam board which is what I thought we would have to do). From the moment you step foot in the Mill from your first tour to your wedding day you’ll see that the service and attention to detail is second to none! So many of our guests commented on the exquisite service and were truly just so impressed because it was nothing they’ve ever experienced before anywhere else. On the day of your wedding as the bride or groom you literally don’t even have to worry about a thing because you can put your full trust in your Maitre’ D Richard and the team at the Mill. Richard is incredible, like the best Maitre’ D and human being to ever exist. He runs such a tight ship and makes sure everything is perfect. I was almost in tears at the end of our night telling Richard how perfect the night was. Our Bridal Attendant Lada literally made sure we never had an empty drink and was so wonderful and attentive. I could honestly just go on and on about the service but I’ll stop myself because there’s so much more that needs to be talked about. It’s truly nothing you or your guests have ever seen or experienced before and it will truly blow you away. Next up is the food. I can be picky and when I say it is the best food that my mouth has ever tasted that is not an exaggeration. Our guests also raved about the food and were so impressed with the option for second portions of any of the dinner choices. Every new place I ever eat is now going to be compared to the Mill’s food and sadly nothing is likely to live up to it. Cocktail hour is extensive and there’s not a single thing that doesn’t taste incredible. They are also so amazing with food allergies and intolerances and make sure they have extensive options for those who have them. And then lastly, I can’t not mention just how stunningly classy and beautiful the venue itself is. Super clean, super modern yet elegant and just perfect. It actually rained on our wedding day and because of the Mill’s deck and outdoor overhangs we still got beautiful outdoor pictures and then beautiful pictures indoors as well! If you truly want to have a wedding that people will rave about and be the wedding everyone tries to live up to you need to stop looking at venues and just book with the Mill. You will not be disappointed.
Love,

*Photo Credit Tina Elizabeth Photography*
My husband, and I had our reception at The Mill Lakeside Manor on January 30th 2022, and we had an incredible time. From the time we booked in summer 2019, we loved the customer service, and personal touches the venue can add to your wedding day. We truly learned how above, and beyond this company goes once we entered the pandemic, and we decided to postpone our wedding from our original date to late January of 2022. While this experience of postponing was challenging, and emotionally difficult, The Mill and our coordinators, Ashley and Jackie, were empathic, and professional as we moved our wedding date. Throughout the planning process, with some fear of possible increasing COVID restrictions during Fall/Winter of 2021/2022, Jackie was open, and honest when we asked some difficult questions. We really appreciated her transparency, and honesty. To top off our eventful wedding planning process, the night before our wedding we had a major nor’easter that brought us well over a foot of snow. Stressed with other aspects of the wedding, like making sure all our vendors were able to make it the following day, we had trusted The Mill without any worry that their venue would be open and ready-to-go for us. By the next day, the grounds of The Mill looked beautiful, and snowy. All our guests arrived safe, and were astonished by the views. Our cocktail hour was outstanding, with so many food options that all our guests were highly satisfied with. Our guests continue to talk about how great all the food was from cocktail hour to dessert! My husband, and I had a private cocktail hour in the bridal suite where our food was brought to us to enjoy. This was one of my favorite moments of the day, because it caused us to slow down, and truly enjoy some time alone (which we definitely did, as we enjoyed the food and our signature drinks). Our bridal attendant, Heidi, was so helpful from bustling my dress perfectly, to always making sure myself, my husband, and our families had exactly what they needed throughout the night. She was kind, helpful, and professional! She even packed up the cocktail hour food, our dinners, and desserts that we didn’t have time to eat for us to enjoy the next day! Our Maitre D, Richard, was fantastic since day one when we met him during our tasting. He set up the decor perfectly, and understood our vision very well. He also kept the night moving steadily and smoothly. He organized our bridal party quickly for the reception entrances. Throughout the night, he worked in the background to make sure everything went perfectly for us, which definitely did not go unnoticed by my husband, and I. Richard’s humor, kindness, and professionalism made him the perfect Maitre D for our wedding reception. We appreciate him so much and cannot say enough great things about him! Overall, both myself and my husband, cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our experience working with The Mill, and all the staff members! We will recommend this venue to any couple who is looking for a great, friendly, and professional team; a fantastic range of food cuisines that tasted amazing (thank you Chef Hassan!); and an overall enchanting wedding reception that you and your guests will never forget. We cannot wait to visit again during an alumni event, so we can relive our best day ever, and catch-up with the people that we have grown close with throughout the past few years of wedding planning. Thank you so much for giving us the best wedding ever and a day we will never forget!

Our December 2021 wedding at the mill was a dream come true. We like many couples had to change our date due to covid and the mill team guided and supported us every step of the way. People are still talking about our cocktail hour which was any foodies paradise. Many of my parents friends said it was the best wedding they attended in over 20 years! It was worth the way everyone danced all night long in the beautiful ballroom while only taking breaks for the signature cocktails or food! We are forever thankful we trusted our most special day with the mill family. Jackie, Richard and Taylor were absolutely phenomenal from day 1 until we picked up our décor then morning after. We can't wait for more photos and videos to relive our day for years to come!The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Hi Danielle,
Thank you so so much for the kind words! We're so happy that we had the honor of bringing your dream wedding to life here! You and Michael are such a cute couple and we wish you both a life time of happiness, love and laughter!
All our best,

Absolutely Perfect Wedding Day
We can't say enough about how wonderful this venue was for our Oct 11, 2021 wedding! Not only were we planning this wedding from out of state, but we were also impacted by the pandemic, resulting in a postponement from our original 2020 date. Luckily the staff at the Mill were super helpful and understanding and worked closely with us (all virtually to accommodate us) to make sure our day would still be as special as we imagined. As great as everything was leading up to the big day, we were still surprised by how smooth and absolutely perfect things went throughout the wedding itself. We couldn't have asked for more attentive or detail-oriented staff. Looking back on that day now 2 months later, we wouldn't have changed a single thing. We're still getting compliments from our guests on how fun the wedding was and how gorgeous the venue looked!The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Hi Amber,
It was such a wonderful experience working with you and Austin! You were such a great couple and we can not thank you both enough for the kind words! We're so happy that you chose us to bring your dream wedding to life!!
All our best,

Best Wedding Venue
The Mill Lakeside Manor is an outstanding venue that will help you have the best day of your life on your wedding day. The moment I walked in on my wedding in September 2021, I saw my dreams become reality. The attentiveness of the staff is unmatched. Myself and my husband as well as my family and bridal party never had to lift a finger. The food is amazing especially cocktail hour is to die for with all the options, but the dinner is what my guests couldn’t stop raving about. The staff including the coordinators Taylor and Jackie were so responsive with emails and texts while planning and always around on the big day if we needed anything. Also our attendant Lada was incredible. I highly recommend any bride or groom looking at wedding venues to check this place out, I’m sure you will fall in love with it just like my husband and I did.The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Hey Emily!
It was such a pleasure working with you and Michael! Thank you so so much for the kind words! We're so happy that you chose us to bring your dream wedding to life!!

A Dream Come True
“The best wedding we have ever been to!” that is all we heard from all of our guests. That is all thanks to the wonderful crew at The Mill! The food was exceptional and absolutely nobody went home hungry! From the outstanding cocktail hour, to the perfectly prepared entrees, and finishing off with our Hangover prevention station our guests are still raving about the food and service. Not only was the food incredible, the venue itself was breathtaking. The Mill even provided us with decor options that catered to multiple themes that all reflected the beauty of the venue on the lake.
We had Taylor as our wedding coordinator to help us plan our big day and from the minute we began working together she paid special attention to each and every detail that made our wedding day beyond exceptional. Taylor went above and beyond by answering all of our questions no matter when or how often. What made us love her the most was how genuinely excited she was for us to get married and took the time to get to know us, forming a true friendship. That connection we formed made the entire process seamless, special, and enjoyable! Not only did Taylor help us with the whole planning of our special day, but she also helped us decorate the entire venue the day before. She was there every step of the way and we truly are so grateful because of her attentiveness, our day was flawless.
Jackie is truly an expert at what she does. She meticulously handled all the important details of our day and made sure any requests we had were tended to. She even went out of her way to ask and order us our favorite brand and type of wine to have just for us at the sweetheart table. She was always there to answer any questions we had about venue decorations, protocols, timelines, and we can confidently say we never had a single worry about anything the entire night.
We had Richard as our Maître d’ and saying he was the best would be an understatement! From the first time we met Richard to the day after the wedding, we have formed a friendship that we will cherish forever. He effortlessly ran the day and he is a true master at what he does. He constantly had us laughing and relaxed to where the pressure of the day just melted away. Our bridal party and family raved about him all night and most importantly he cared for our parents and grandparents as well. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be by our sides that day.
The Mill has truly been a dream come true and we are so blessed to have had such a beautiful wedding thanks to these amazing people and the rest of the staff at the Mill. We are so proud to be a part of the Mill Lakeside Manor family!
Love always,

Caitlyn Sent on 11/18/2021The most perfect wedding day
My husband and I had our wedding at The Mill in September on Labor Day weekend. Ashley and Richard were our wedding event planners. They are incredible individuals who went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect and it was just that in every way. Ashley is a sweetheart, I planned majority of whole wedding over email and the phone with her which was challenging at times for me but Ashley made the process very simple. She cares so much about her clients and she made sure I was always in line and had everything in when needed. She would always check on me and us and make sure we weren’t getting to overwhelmed planning the wedding. She was the best and will always be the best. Richard was the sweetest and truly made all your wishes come true. The wedding night he was making sure at every second everything was what it should be and was spot on and it was. He was so caring and just wanted your wedding dreams to come true and they did. Both exceeded expectations and gave us everything we could have wanted and more. During the night there was always someone checking up on you and seeing if you needed anything. They were very professional. The venue is a gorgeous venue, it has a beautiful inside and outside view. We highly recommend it. The food was phenomenal, there were so many choices to choose and every single one we chose was fantastic. Our guest were so amazed how delicious all the food was including my husband and I. We can’t say enough good things on Ashley, Richard and the rest of the staff that participated. Everyone was amazing and exceeded our expectations! We can’t thank you enough for all you did for us. Because of you our wedding dreams came true!! XoThe Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Caitlyn & Kyle,
Thank you so much. You two made the planning process so smooth and are such an AMAZING couple. From the vows you read on the dock not once but twice to your first dance. You had the perfect day. I hope to see you guys at the White Swan Gala and other alumni events! Please stay in touch. And come visit us next time you are in NJ.
Love,
Ashley & Your Mill Family -

Wedding of our dreams
From start to finish, our wedding at The Mill was everything we had ever hoped for. Their staff is incredibly attentive and focuses on every detail during your wedding day. The venue itself has many stunning views and the interior has a very refined style, which makes for many great pictures! We had Taylor and Jackie help us plan for the wedding, they were incredibly helpful and are great at what they do. We had Lada as our bridal attendant and she was incredibly helpful and brought a positive energy throughout the day. Richard and Gabriel also made sure the day went perfectly for us and were amazing.
Due to Covid, we had to postpone our wedding an additional year. Despite this, The Mill tried to be as accommodating as possible.
Overall, we couldn't have picked a better venue. We knew it was going to be an amazing day, but they exceeded even our expectations. Our guests have not stopped raving about the food/drink quality, the beauty of the venue, and the staff. Numerous people have said it was the best wedding they ever attended.The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for this amazing review!!! It was our absolute pleasure to give you the wedding you both more than deserved!! We will miss working so closely with you both but know we will see you soon!! All the best, Your Mill Family -

Amazing Wedding!
We had our wedding at The Mill in August and it was a great experience, from the very beginning to the day after! The scenic lake view, lush garden, beautiful ballroom, and covered outside patio for cocktail hour were all amazing features of the venue. The staff was incredibly attentive and ensured that all the details we wanted were taken care of. In particular, the maitre’d, Richard, and our Bridal Attendant, Lada, deserve special recognition for their fantastic service. My husband and I were treated like royalty for the day. Additionally, the food is the best we have had at any wedding. We would recommend The Mill for any couple looking for an elegant wedding with classic touches.The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Hi Kerry,
Thank you so much! We are so happy to hear that you and Stephen had an amazing experience here at The Mill Lakeside Manor. Thank you for trusting us to host your special day. We wish you a lifetime of love & happiness!
Best always,

Absolutely Amazing!!!
My husband and I got married at The Mill Lakeside Manor on July 29, 2021 and that day was MORE than what I ever dreamed of! Our original wedding date of April 25,2020 had to be postponed a couple of times due to Covid, and everyone at The Mill Lakeside Manor made the process with postponing and planning in general so painless and stress free. I can not thank everyone at The Mill Lakeside Manor enough for all of their extremely hard work and help that they put into making our wedding day a dream come true!
Our wedding coordinator Sue was fabulous and an absolute pleasure to work with, she was always so friendly, bubbly, and responsive. She also gave me so many ideas on decor placement! Jackie and Taylor helped in many ways as well, they both were amazing! Our maitre d Richard was phenomenal!! The day of our wedding the weather was very tricky due to it possibly thunder storming/tornado warnings, so my husband and I were unsure if we should change the ceremony to inside. Long story short we decided about 25 minutes we were about to start to change it to inside. Richard and the rest of the staff transformed the ball room into the inside ceremony space with in minutes, flawlessly! Having him by our side the whole night made us so happy, calm, and relaxed. The staff at The Mill Lakeside Manor treated every single guest like royalty! All of our guests continue to rave about the cocktail hour and the amount of it, the dinner with the 2nd portions, and just how exceptional the service was at The Mill Lakeside Manor. The whole team does a fabulous job delivering a beautiful day for their couples. I am so happy we decided to choose The Mill for our wedding day, we would go back and relive this night all over again if we could!!The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Hi Alison,
Thank you for your kind words! We are so happy to hear that your wedding was everything you wanted and more! Our goal is to make everything as stress free as possible so we are so happy to hear that you were able to sit back and relax your special day. These pictures are beautiful! You both looked amazing. Thank you for choosing us to host your special day. Congratulations again!
Best always,

Arielle Sent on 08/11/2021The mill- the most amazing wedding venue!
There are not enough words to emphasize how absolutely amazing The Mill is in every way. The moment we looked at the venue, we fell in love and knew it was the one! We FINALLY got married on June 28, 2021. Having to move our wedding date multiple times due to COVID was stressful in many ways, but The Mill team was there to support us every step of the way. Taylor, Jackie and the entire team did not miss a single beat, and we were constantly assured that we would have the best day ever, and the day was way beyond our wildest expectations. We had the absolute best day of our lives and wish every day that we could go back and relive it over and over in the same exact way. They paid attention to every little detail. We even got to have our dog Jameson as a part of our wedding ceremony! Having our little guy there made the day so special. Not only that…but we even had little notes in our suites from him with “Good Luck Mom” and “Good Luck Dad”. It literally made my day! Richard was incredible and made sure everything went perfectly! Taylor and Jackie were constantly there for us. Everything they have done for us has just meant so much. We really can’t say enough how much we appreciate everything. This entire team treats you like family and we couldn’t have asked for more.
In addition, our guests could not believe how amazing The Mill was. Not only did we get so many comments about how absolutely beautiful the venue was and how AMAZING the food was, but we also got so many compliments about the staff. Everyone just could not rave enough about how incredible the entire staff was. Every guest was treated like the guest of honor! Still to this day, so many of our guests are talking about how our wedding was THE BEST WEDDING THEY HAVE EVER BEEN TO! How amazing is that!
We are so thankful to have experienced this most important day at The Mill. If you want the most magical wedding day, there is no other place than The Mill! The Mill is a dream venue in every way. Thank you to the entire Mill Family for making it the best day ever!

Nicole Sent on 07/15/2021INCREDIBLE! The venue, food and staff...all outstanding!
I got married at The Mill on May 10, 2021 and my day was exactly what I hoped it would be...and more! This was the only venue my husband and I ended up touring because we immediately fell in love with the beautiful grounds, the ballroom, and the incredible staff! We had to postpone due to COVID (Our original date was October 25, 2020) and thanks to the wonderful staff at The Mill, the entire process was easy and stress-free. The Mill was so understanding and very accommodating, and I can't thank them enough! Ashley was our wedding coordinator and she was wonderful to work with! Always so responsive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a perfect day!
Our wedding day was beautiful, like a fairytale and definitely worth the wait! The service was top-notch and the staff treated our guests like royalty! Richard is the most incredible maître d! He went above and beyond for us at our food tasting and on our wedding day, he immediately stepped in to help my Maid of Honor bustle my dress. Having him by our side throughout our reception, I knew we didn't have to worry about a thing. Our guests raved about the cocktail hour, food and exceptional service for weeks after our wedding! I'm so glad we chose The Mill for our special day, and just like my husband keeps telling me....I wish we could go back to The Mill every year and relive this day all over again!The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Hi Nicole,
We loved being part of your special day. From you fairy tale arrival in the vintage car to your first dance. You guys had the perfect day! Thank you so much for such a great review. We miss you guys, and can't wait to see you back at The White Swan Gala!

Food, fun, and the most amazing wedding venue!
I cannot say enough good things about The Mill Lakeside Manor! We booked our wedding date for 2021 back in 2019 and all throughout COVID Ashley and Jackie continued to keep us updated on the ever changing restrictions. When coming close to our own wedding we were lucky enough to have the restrictions lifted and have the wedding we have always dreamed of! Ashley and Richard made sure that our entire day was flawless as well as the entire staff. We received SO MANY compliments on the service, food, and especially the amazing cocktail hour! If you would like to have the most amazing day with people who truly want to see you happy, have your wedding at The Mill, you will not be disappointed!The Mill Lakeside Manor's reply:
Emily thank you so much for all the feedback. Your pictures are beautiful! You and Ryan were such a sweet couple to work with. We loved working with you and can't wait to see you again at the White Swan Gala! Please stay in touch.
