Inn at Millrace Pond - NJ

suite and speakeasy, to taking photographs on the grounds, to our breathtaking outdoor ceremony, to our reception in the astounding ballroom, and ending with staying overnight in the cozy bridal loft! The grounds are beautiful and give off a tranquil vibe that made our day so calm and pleasant! The food was delicious and our guests raved about every item from cocktail hour down to dessert. The staff made sure that although we were busy, we had time set aside to eat and enjoy! It was our absolute pleasure working with all of the staff at The Inn. Tracey, our maitre d, took a personal interest in getting to know us and ensuring that every single detail was accounted for. She spent hours with us discussing the steps of our wedding day and allowing us to ask questions in order to be fully prepared. Tracey was amazing the day of the wedding as well, ensuring that every moment ran smoothly and that my husband and I were happy! We LOVE her!!! The captain- Lia, also did an amazing job keeping our day smooth and checking in with us often in order to help and support us with everything we needed! She was so sweet and continued making our experience great the following morning at the breakfast! My bridal attendant for the day, Kerri, was a joy to work with! She helped me to be comfortable and ready for my day and even made sure I kept drinking water since it was such a hot August day! I was so thankful to have her with me. Tricia the inn keeper went above and beyond to ensure all rooms were adequately prepared for our guests and especially for us. She even took us around the grounds prior to the wedding so we could have another look! We are so thankful for all the staff at The Inn and will always cherish the beautiful day they have given us!! We so highly recommend this venue for a wedding!!!

, and general ambiance. We also did the Hope's Best package and would highly recommend that any couple getting married at the Inn do the same. Having all the accomodations for family and wedding party members on-site made logistics so much easier and greatly reduced our stress. We also decided to have the rehearsal dinner on site as well, which was amazing. We had the whole inn to ourselves, and it felt like we had a private village for the entire weekend! The team was absolutely incredibe as well. From Inez, our day of coordinator, to Tracey, our maitre'd, and Tricia, the innkeeper, we could not have asked for a more caring and diligent team. We had a family member with health issues, and the inn was so accomodating. From the ceremony to the reception, Tracey, Tricia, and Inez did everything that they could to make it a comfortable experience for them. They truly went above and beyond at every turn, and made our event so incredibly special. The wedding went off without a hitch and the team made it so easy for us as the couple. We did not need to worry about anything and just got to enjoy the entire weekend. We would highly recommend the Inn to any couple looking to have their wedding in a beautiful, serene, and rustic venue.

in the foyer ( no where near the cocktail hour) and food will be brought to them!!

tunning fall scenery created the most beautiful backdrop for our special day—the vibrant colors of the leaves, the crisp autumn air, and the rustic charm of the inn made everything picture-perfect. What really set the experience apart was the incredible staff. Every single person we worked with was professional, efficient, and above all, kind. They went above and beyond to make sure every detail was exactly how we envisioned it. Their attention to detail was impeccable, and they shared our vision every step of the way, helping to bring it to life flawlessly. We can’t say enough about Michelle, the director of planning, who was amazing from the very first meeting until our wedding day. She was an absolute joy to work with, guiding us through the entire process with expertise and patience. Michelle made sure our every wish was heard, and her dedication to making our day perfect was evident in every interaction. She truly became an integral part of our journey and ensured everything went off without a hitch. The farm-to-table food was absolutely outstanding! From the abundance of delicious samples during the cocktail hour to the exquisite meals served at dinner, each bite was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our guests are still raving about the quality and variety. The seamless organization of the food stations, both indoors and outdoors, was expertly handled by Tracey, the on-site coordinator. She ensured the flow of the event was smooth and that every guest had access to all the amazing culinary offerings. It was truly a feast to remember. A special shoutout also goes to our day-of coordinator, Tracey, whose professionalism and warm personality truly made our day even more special. Not only was she on top of every aspect of the event, but she also ensured that we were comfortable and taken care of throughout the day. She was attentive to our needs, and even made sure to bring us drinks and appetizers during cocktail hour so we wouldn’t miss out on enjoying a bite while greeting our guests. Thanks to the team at The Inn at Millrace Pond, we were able to relax and truly enjoy our day, knowing that everything was taken care of. We are beyond happy with how everything turned out—it was more than we could have ever hoped for. If you’re looking for a wedding venue where you’ll be supported by an amazing staff and surrounded by breathtaking scenery, this is the place for you! Thank you, Inn at Millrace Pond, for making our wedding day unforgettable! With Love & Gratitude, Brenna and Danny

All the details were perfect, requests from any guests were promptly responded to. They made special efforts to insure the comfort of all guests including any with special needs, which was greatly appreciated. Food was delicious, staff were excellent, reception area beautiful, etc. the list could go on. Yes, I’m gushing but it was truly a wonderful event You won’t be disappointed. I thoroughly

to accommodations- you NEED to check out the inn! You get the entire property to yourself the day and night of your wedding, and there are so many unique spaces! They recently built a brand new reception barn and a cocktail hour space which are absolutely gorgeous. This venue is super charming and historic, but has been refurbished with modern touches and feels like you are stepping into another world for the day of your wedding, away from the stresses of modern life. It is so peaceful in the quaint little town of Hope, NJ. Michelle, the sales manager was beyond helpful throughout the whole planning process, and the day-of staff blew our expectations out of the water with their attentiveness to detail and help throughout the day. The innkeeper, Tricia charmed all of our guests with her kind and uplifting spirit and, along with Keri and my bridal attendant and Tracey, helped me and my girls with our requests all day long- they even took candid photos throughout the day and sent them to me which was incredible! Our maître d' Linda was absolutely incredible and made sure the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and after party all flowed seamlessly. Even when we had to move our ceremony inside at the last minute due to rain, the team went above and beyond to ensure that it was beautiful (and the reception barn fireplace/mantle gives such a beautiful indoor ceremony space backdrop, I would do it all over again!) The food was incredible- our guests are still raving! I cannot recommend this venue enough!

ressed all of our inquiries. Tracey and Leah ensured that our special day ran seamlessly. The outstanding food is still a topic of conversation among our guests!

. The staff cared for us with such genuineness and warmth - Tracey and Aloura specifically shaped the day into the beauty it was. Thank you all for everything. Our guests adored the venue, its intimacy, and its energy. Highly recommend for couples looking for privacy and a balance of a rustic and modern but very very down to earth space.

out how friendly everyone (special shout out to the bartender!). Eddie, Tracey, Tricia and Leah went above and beyond the day of the wedding. Thank you for your part in making our daughter's wedding day beautiful.

llmark Christmas movie for me as we got married December 14th! It was beautiful!!!! All our guests said the food was delicious and commented how friendly the staff was! Hailey the day of coordinator and Eddie are amazing!! Tricia the Inn Keeper was beyond helpful to us and all of our guests!!! Highly highly recommend The Inn at Millrace Pond to host your wedding!! It truly was magical for myself and my now Husband!!!! Can’t thank them all enough!!!!

perfect from the ceremony all the way to the last dance. The servers always had a smile. Shout out to Alana, Rachel, Anna and Owen. The food was absolutely amazing. Thank you for a great night!

s so much to Tricia, and the wedding was out of a storybook! Ed, the Maitre'ed, and Tracey, his assistant, were on top of everything! They were both there always a step ahead to help with everything we needed! The food was delicious, probably the best food we've had at a wedding in years and the day was just so wonderful! We stayed overnight and had a wonderful breakfast the next morning! All the guests were talking how wonderful the weekend went. Great job everyone!

an not at all say any bad word about our process with The Inn, so helpful and so hands on. They make it so easy and they make your day so amazing. Trish was absolutely amazing with all the guests, Eddie was amazing with the planning of the wedding, Tracey was incredibly helpful with the in-day stuff and getting all the things together and Haley was so helpful with all the bridal party requests. The Inn is a perfect venue to have your wedding, it will be absolutely beautiful and the people involved are so hands on. We cousln’t have asked for a better day. They made it 100% perfect. Oh and the chef, you’re getting 5 star food. If this was Yelp I’d give 5 stars and would renew my vows with my wife every year at The Inn. John & Coll

played a crucial role in ensuring the seamless execution of the event, running around on the day to make certain we had everything we needed, and that every detail was perfect. Our heartfelt thanks go out to Matthew and the entire Frungillo team for their invaluable assistance throughout the wedding planning journey. It surpassed all our dreams, providing more than we could have imagined. I could truly relax and savor the day, knowing the team was on hand to manage every detail. There's not a single thing I would change about this remarkable venue!

have come together as it did without Ed, Tracy, Hailey, and Tricia all running around the day of and making sure we had what we needed and that everything was perfect, as well as Michelle and Maria through the planning process. We can’t thank everyone at Frungillo for all of their help throughout the wedding planning process. It was everything we dreamed of and more. I was able to relax and enjoy the day knowing that the team was there to handle everything. I wouldn’t change a thing about this venue!

g and after showing us the grounds which are beautiful and the new modern farmhouse that was completed in May 2023 we were blown away and new this was the place . Maria even came the day of my daughters wedding just to see our vision come alive and also to say good luck. I thought how sweet was that that she took the time to do so. The Inn at Millrace is modern farmhouse reception meets old farmhouse for the cocktail hour since they were attached it made it so unique, and what was even nicer was that we had the availability of the old farmhouse During our reception to use as well. We could have chosen the gristmill for the cocktail hour I believe which is spectacular too as it’s 200 years old but our wedding guest size was too large but it surely made a great after party for us to all to party in The Inn I believe has 16 rooms and the most amazing bridal suite that is a converted barn . The Character and charm it had was beautiful and the newlyweds can stay in this amazing space along with their guest at the Inn and not have to leave the grounds which made things so convenient. It also serves as an amazing bridal suite for the bride to get ready in with her bridal party. Tracy was our bridal attendant and although they may not serve food as it’s something you have the option to bring in which honestly I believe would be an amazing touch if they offered that option for you even if they had to charge for it as it was a little bit much getting everything together to bring to this suite the morning of. The Inn did provide water and coffee set up and a few things but not food. Tracy are bridal attendant who also cared for our head tables and bride and groom throughout the day was an absolute “GEM”. Caring, helpful, kind and totally attentive throughout the entire day and evening Always making sure even during photos that we all had enough to eat and drink and went out of her way for everything. Since my daughter’s wedding was a true DIY we needed to get into the venue prior to her Thursday wedding. They were incredibly accommodating allowing us to stay there for hours the Tuesday before in setting up our vision. Eddie was the maître d and he is busy sometimes not being able to get back to us in time with some questions we had prior to event however with we cannot say enough great things about Eddie either . He was so accommodating attentive and kind as well and is excellent at what he does. Tracy and Eddie would make an incredible team. I feel like Tracy should be Eddie’s assistant they would make a killer duo together. Our guest could not have said enough greater things about the food and the whole venue itself. Incredible caterers, absolute delicious food and everything was seamless. The price point for all we got was totally worth every penny . We did an outdoor ceremony and having someone who can delegate that a bit smoother would of been a bit more helpful . Our extended family stayed at the inn and loved their stay . Even the innkeeper Trish was helpful that day. If you are looking for a great country unique setting in beautiful Hope nj and want the added touches of old meets new modern farm house with a beautiful old inn for your guest to stay plus the best food ever The Inn at Millrace was top notch. We couldn’t of been happier in the most magical day our family shared in together. Thank you Inn at Millrace our daughters wedding was a dream come true!

ng come to life. their staff was extremely attentive and gracious as they let us decorate our own wedding the day before. It is truly an amazing property that we were able to have all of our bridal party on site to celebrate, which is amazing!

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

cake and pastries — and the open bar was all top quality liquor . Our maitre d went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect day! The staff at Frungillos were professional and courteous. Our bridal and groomsmen suite attendant made sure we had everything we needed ! I couldn’t give a better review about Frungillos. Everything that was promised was given and then some. Robert the owner went above and beyond by running to the store to buy my son Red Bull that they didn’t normally have when I asked if they had it. Thank you Frungillos for making my son and daughter-in-law’s dream wedding come true !!

rfect setting for our ceremony. I would recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a historic yet intimate wedding. And the food was AMAZING!!! All of my guests can’t wait to go back for dinner. Chicken, Steak and Salmon were all mouth watering! You won’t be disappointed!!!

il hour, and reception - so the day becomes super convenient. The staff is extremely professional and accommodating, and the venue is absolutely beautiful with flowers and lighting. We got married weeks ago and our guests are still talking about how awesome the venue was. Have your wedding here - you won't regret it!

them enough! My family has been coming to the Inn for years, since I was little! They always have great food and a lovely atmosphere. I can't thank the Inn enough for all they did and made our day amazing. Thank you all again so much, I'm sure you'll see us around for dinner! 😉❤💍💐

’s nice because you have an option to have an after party in the mill after your wedding to give you a little extra time Which everybody loved. Would totally recommend the the Inn at Millrace Pond to anybody looking for a wedding venue!

ing room. The food was incredible, the staff kept things rolling, and everyone was always asking if there was anything they could do. Sue-Ann kept the ceremony running on schedule and helped everything go flawlessly.

ly refunded the deposit I had put down for the guest rooms. I, then, reached out to my contact at Frungillo. He informed me my cancellation must be sent via email to the owner Gerald Frungillo. It took him a week shy of two months to respond to my emails. When he finally did, it was to simply confirm he received my cancellation and not address my other questions. Most people do not go into wedding planning thinking they will have to cancel, but life happens. I would not recommend Frungillo Caterers to anyone because of this terrible experience. It is terrible that they are bringing down the reputation of the wonderful people at the actual venue.

well kept, and maintained properly.. The Inn, the meeting house, the mill. It is all historic and absolutely gorgeous. It was a combination of what my husband and I had been looking for. And our guests are still talking about how charming and different the venue was.. We had 100 people attend our wedding and everyone fit comfortably with the set up for the ceremony and the reception. It was perfect. The staff of the Inn was also wonderful and VERY accommodating. There seemed to be, however, A LOT of miscommunication between the Inn and the caterers on who was supposed to handle what. But everyone was always in communication with my husband and I, and in the end it all worked out. And everyone was very helpful and nice.. We also booked most of the rooms on the property for our guests to stay the night, after the wedding, and the tavern for the after party.. Everything went smoothly. There were a few people who were not guests at the wedding who wandered into the tavern during the after party, (you pay to rent the tavern out just for your guests), but the bartenders took care of it quickly. Also, there was a wedding the night before and the entire place was cleaned up before we even got there (at 9 AM), the morning of the wedding. And since we were married on a Sunday, they were also very helpful and accommodating about when we could do the rehearsal. I would recommend this venue to anyone. The staff is very friendly and helpful and this venue is just breathtaking!

I cannot vouch for the caterer, tent etc. but I can say that this is the perfect venue for anyone who is looking for something unique and intimate. The grounds are unbelievably gorgeous (at any time of year!) and every staff member we've come in contact with has been nothing but pleasant. We planned to get married outside on the lawn in front of the meeting house, but it ended up being FREEZING that day (high of 32 - go figure), so we made the call early on to have the ceremony inside the meeting house, in a room with a fireplace upstairs. I was a little bummed about that until I walked through the morning of and saw how the fireplace mantle was decorated - Peggy Patton (the florist who works onsite), did a phenomenal job on absolutely everything. If you get married here and don't use Peggy as your florist, you are insane - she does amazing work and was so helpful throughout the planning process. She did the mantle (which would have been the arbor if we had the ceremony outside), our bouquets, boutonnieres and centerpieces and all of it was absolutely beautiful. After seeing Peggy's work, my nerves settled down a little - and everything else fell into place. I worked with Sue-Ann, the General Manager of the Inn, throughout the planning process as well - she is exactly what I needed in a "wedding planner" - reassuring and extremely accommodating. She even let our two dogs be a part of our day and "babysat" one of them (who tends to be a little more rambunctious) in the back of the room during the ceremony. Afterwards, our group was sent down to the tavern for the reception/after party; every aspect of this was perfect, from the food (the restaurant was able to cook since our group was so small), to the room setup, and so on. I have to thank Sue-Ann and the Inn staff for this as they had every detail covered, and the bartenders even helped us gather all of our DIY decor to grab the following day (which helped immensely, considering most of us had heavy heads!) Again, I cannot put into words how awesome our wedding day was... just reliving it through this review has made me so happy. We can’t wait to celebrate our anniversaries here for years to come!

s cleaned up and ready for us pretty early on. Taylor was great (she runs the inn) at details for guests and the bar. They were all receptive to the fact that we could wait to the last minute for a rain plan (and thankfully didn't need it). The tent was so comfortable even on a humid warm day with fans. The dance floor was a little small (125 people) though no one cared and danced outside of it. The bar afterward was perfect for the after-party; after that the new fire-pit was a huge hit. There are extra charges for this but do not regret spending some money for those options. We also used the Flower Mill and Peggy (florist) was one of the all-stars of the day, paying attention to every detail and made all of the grounds look fantastic. Our photographers were so excited to take pictures at this venue. Would make the same choice again.

urant is also very good 4 stars but the organization and availability of the inn staff is limited. If you and your fiancé work full time it isn't easy. All in all things worked out but making sure everything was in place wasn't easy. Valet service is through the Inn but no one was there when guests started to arrive from the ceremony to cocktail hour. The lot is small, so it filled up quickly and myself and my new husband had to direct people until finally the restaurant manager came to our rescue! Really someone from the Inn should've been there making sure that things went off without a hitch and then left once the reception started. Overall we had a perfect day but of all the pieces the Inn's organization felt the most disappointing and they didn't seem concerned about their mistake. We wouldn't have changed our venue because we loved it, but wanted to let other people looking to know just stay on top of the details here!!

e of the best weddings they have attended--I always wanted a rustic wedding NOT in a reception hall, and this scenic spot fit the bill. It felt like a destination wedding without having to go very far, especially since it is also a bed and breakfast. It was SO beautiful, the staff was fantastic, Taylor was the best. Frungillo Caterers did an exceptional job setting up, and the food was fantastic! The best compliment from one of my guests: "I have never seen the bride enjoy herself so much at her own wedding". I was relaxed, happy, and had no worries because I knew everything was taken care of so flawlessly. I'm so glad I found this place and can't wait to go back to celebrate many happy occasions throughout our marriage.

ng with an easy rain plan and got just what we asked for. It rained ALL DAY! Fortunately, the rain slowed down and we were able to get gorgeous outdoor pictures. The tent converted beautifully to a ceremony site. We moved next door to the historic Meeting House for cocktail hour and back to the tent for the reception...flawlessly! We used many of the Inn's offered services including a room block of all 17 rooms, bridal party lunch, after party in the tavern and morning after breakfast. We wanted one-stop shopping and the Inn was perfect for that. We worked with Daniel and Taylor for more than a year and they were absolutely phenomenal! They were so friendly with all of our requests and helped us arrange so many details. They even helped my husband deliver champagne with rose ice cubes to my bridal suite while I was getting ready with the girls. The bridal party lunch and breakfast food was great. The tavern was such a cool location for an after party. Our guests had many compliments. Thank you Inn at Millrace Pond for making an unforgettable experience! We loved our wedding weekend!

should know when booking a wedding here is that Frungillo runs the ceremony and reception and the Inn is responsible for any rooms you book, rehearsal dinner, after party, etc. if you should choose to book with them. Unfortunately, the communication between the Inn and Frungillo is extremely poor. When we booked our wedding (well over a year in advanced) we booked every room in the Inn for both Friday and Saturday nights, booked our rehearsal dinner Friday night and after party Saturday night at the Inn. Frungillo booked a Friday night wedding and we started receiving calls from both the caterer and the Inn asking us to release rooms for Friday night. Unfortunately, we were unable to because we had family coming in from out of town and our rooms were full. They continued to ask us to check in late on Friday up until a few days before the wedding. We were also under the impression that our rehearsal dinner would be in the downstairs tavern however due to serious miscommunication issues we were informed 2 days before the wedding that this would not be the case, I was beyond disappointed. Furthermore, we paid an additional fee to have a private room after party in the tavern and arranged to pay for the entire bar tab. When we arrived to the tavern for the after party we were surprised to find other people at the bar and the bartender began charging our guests. When we paid an extra fee to have our room be private we did not expect anyone other than our guests to be in the room and it was mortifying to invite our guests to our after party only to have them charged. The Inn did agree to refund those who's card was charged but the damage was done. The bartender also seemed annoyed when we asked him to ask the other guests to leave seeing as how we paid to have the room private. There were also issues with our rooms, for instance there was a leak in the ceiling of one of the rooms that was never fixed. Our bridal suite was never cleaned, we got to the room after the wedding hoping to take a bubble bath only to find that the tub was never cleaned, and when we arrived they couldn't find the key to our room causing us to have to rush to get to our rehearsal dinner on time. Also, one of our guests was charged twice for her room. Lexie, Taylor, and Dan are all amazing and a true pleasure to work with. However, unfortunately the manager Sue-Ann is disorganized, uncommunicative, and difficult to work with. Finally, when we checked out on Sunday the woman at the front desk was BEYOND rude and treated us so poorly it was embarrassing. Overall, the Inn was just such a poor experience and I was extremely disappointed.

how small or large the question was. She and Sue really keep the best interest of their couples at heart and worked with us to make our vision of our perfect day come true. The Inn truly feels like your home where you invite all of your family and friends to celebrate one of the most important days of your life with you. One of my favorite parts about getting married at the Inn, was being able to visit the Inn on multiple occasions throughout the year. The food at the restaurant is honestly so delicious that I started to make up excuses to visit the Inn during the year. We also had a small “after-party” at the tavern in the Inn after the wedding and let me tell you I’ve been hearing about how delicious the food was from all of my guests! We also filled the entire Inn with our guests and were able to continue the celebrations into the next morning by sharing (delicious!) breakfast with many of the guests. The rooms are just adorable and have so much character and it was so nice to have all of the festivities all in one place. The Inn is absolutely an amazing place to get married and even just to visit. I can’t wait to go back for years to come to celebrate our anniversaries!
