Our wedding at Stone Mill Inn this past October was nothing short of extraordinary – a masterclass in hospitality, attention to detail, and flawless execution. From the moment our ...
celebration began, it was clear we had chosen something truly special.
The culinary experience exceeded anything we've encountered at a wedding. The hors d'oeuvres were exceptional. Servers circulated seamlessly, ensuring that barely fifteen seconds passed without a new dish appearing before us. Every dinner plate, side, and unique dietary need reflected the venue's commitment to excellence.
The property itself is breathtaking. Our guests were captivated by the scenic beauty and distinctive character of the grounds. Each corner of the estate showcases the meticulous care Ken, Karen, and their team pour into its maintenance. Every photograph captured felt like a scene from a fairytale, with the property's natural elegance providing an incomparable backdrop.
Corrine, our coordinator, was instrumental in bringing our vision to life. Beginning months before the wedding, she invested genuine time in understanding our story, personalities, and aspirations. During our visits, she listened intently to every idea, concern, and question, offering thoughtful guidance when we needed direction. On the big day, she orchestrated every element with remarkable composure – from managing our friends, family, and vendors during rehearsal to handling an unexpected vendor issue so discreetly that we remained blissfully unaware. Her ability to be seemingly everywhere at once was nothing short of remarkable.
Jim's dedication was equally impressive. From the moment we arrived Thursday for rehearsal, he worked tirelessly to ensure perfection. Whether attending to the groomsmen's refreshments, coordinating setup, or even helping navigate unexpected marriage license paperwork, his commitment never wavered. While many venues focus primarily on the bride, Jim ensured I received the same exceptional level of care and support throughout the entire experience.
Ken and Karen welcomed us into their home from our very first visit nearly two years ago, and that warmth permeated our entire wedding weekend. They are not passive owners but active participants, seamlessly moving between roles to guarantee everything proceeds flawlessly.
The entire staff – every server, bartender, and team member – demonstrated extraordinary kindness and professionalism. Their genuine passion for their work shone through in every interaction. We joked about an "eye in the sky" surveillance because the attentiveness was uncanny: empty glasses were refilled, food was replenished, and any minor mishap was addressed within seconds.
If there's one bittersweet aspect to this review, it's that we won't have the opportunity to marry at Stone Mill Inn again. We recommend this venue with the highest possible enthusiasm.

ty of the grounds themselves, to the outstanding food (that our family and friends are still raving about), and to the lengths that they went to to ensure our day was absolutely perfect, Stone Mill exceeded our expectations in every way. Corinne was our coordinator and from the beginning, it was clear she had our best interested at heart. She truly cared about us and about executing our vision for our wedding day. The staff were extremely accommodating, especially with late requests and food allergies, they even helped my sister by letting her use the WiFi so she could register for her college classes during our rehearsal. If you're looking for a venue that does it all and then some and that will give your family and friends sometime to talk about for years to come, book the Stone Mill Inn.

Many of my guests complimented how wonderful the staff and team was, and how delicious all of the food was with their in-house catering!! Amber, our coordinator was an absolute dream - she worked closely with me in the weeks leading up to our wedding answering all of my questions and helping me prepare for our big day! This venue truly works as a team, and when communicating through email their responses were always timely and some even from the owner himself!! Ken greeted me on my wedding day and carried my dress in for me to the girls getting ready area, from the first contact of the day to our last - The Stone Mill Inn exceeded our expectations!!! Although our service and food was wonderful, I also will not miss commenting on the beautiful property and venue they have, there are so many beautiful options for ceremony and pictures!! Thank you Stone Mill Inn for giving us such a wonderful wedding experience and such a beautiful day!!!

I wanted to thank Amber and the entire team at the Stone Mill Inn for making my daughter’s wedding day perfect. Having planned three weddings in 14 months, I can say that the team ...
at the Stone Mill Inn went above and beyond and made the mother-of-the-bride role exceptionally peaceful. They took care of EVERY detail, from the planning to the execution, so I could enjoy the day with my daughter and the rest of the guests. This was particularly impressive since I live in Florida and so much of the planning was remote.
The property was amazing! From the expertly manicured gardens and the chandeliers in the trees, to the spacious and elegant bridal suite and the beautifully arranged reception space, everything was perfect. And the food was 5-star-restaurant quality food. My father-in-law, who is a pastor and has been to countless weddings, said it was the best wedding food he had ever tasted. I cannot say enough about the excellence and ease of the service at the Stone Mill Inn.

We had our wedding at the Stone Mill Inn on November 16th, 2025, and it was everything we hoped for and so much more. The grounds are stunning, the historic stone buildings photogr...
aph beautifully, and the entire venue feels warm, intimate, and timeless. Our ceremony was held at the Abbey, and it was breathtaking — exactly the atmosphere we wanted.
What truly sets Stone Mill Inn apart, though, is how wonderfully everything is run. The team was organized, communicative, and ready for anything. Even when I fainted during rehearsal (yes…that happened), they handled everything calmly and kindly, never making me feel embarrassed or rushed. On the wedding day itself, they kept everything moving smoothly so we could actually be present and enjoy it.
We had about 77 guests, a black-tie dress code, six signature mocktails, a live painter, a tarot reader, a string quartet, dogs in the ceremony, and a Sunday-night timeline, and the staff made it all flow effortlessly. They coordinated beautifully with every single vendor, from our photographer and videographer to our florist, DJ, dessert table, and even our dog handler.
The reception space inside the Mill was cozy and elegant, and our guests still haven’t stopped talking about how gorgeous the venue and how amazing the food was. It was truly the perfect place for our wedding, and we’re so thankful we chose it.
If you want a venue that feels enchanting, unique, and impeccably run, Stone Mill Inn is it. We’d choose them again in a heartbeat.

ears about the exclusive catering will disappear immediately at the tasting event, which provides a wide array of options—all of which are delicious. They also took great care to account for allergies, which was very appreciated as someone with several!
I was a nervous bride convinced that I couldn’t plan a wedding by myself (I’ve never gotten married before!). But even without a dedicated planner, the staff is so knowledgeable and kind that I never had to do it alone. Our day went off without a hitch. Our coordinator, Nicole, handled everything seamlessly and seemed genuinely happy to do so. She offered great suggestions to incorporate our unique tastes. We trusted her and she delivered!
Overall, we are so thankful to the Painters for their tireless dedication to their venue. We are thrilled to have Stone Mill Inn as part of our story forever and we know they feel the same.

e our wedding in the Fall. 2. After many other venue tours that were the same lines of "ok, this is our space, it'll be this much money", the staff at the Stone Mill Inn actually took the time to get to know us. They sat down with us and asked how we met, about our jobs, and just wanted to know about us. The communication up to the wedding was flawless with them helping with every detail. And the wedding day itself was perfection. Our coordinator Amber made sure everything went smoothly. She even had a basket in her car for when I forgot one for the flower girl. The food was INCREDIBLE. I'm still getting messages from our guests about the food alone. And the head chef, Jim, is such a wonderful human being. He was so attentive and even came out to stand with me before I was taken down the aisle. Overall, we felt so loved and taken care of by the Stone Mill Inn family and I want to highly recommend them as a wedding venue to anyone considering.

We were fortunate enough to find this amazing venue in the fall of 2023, and we immediately fell in love with every aspect of the facility. We actually had spent the morning tourin...
g other venues in the area, and after a really disappointing experience we called Stone Mill and asked if we could bump up our appointment time. "Come on over!" was the response we received, and we got to tour around with one of the owners, Karen. In mere seconds of talking with Karen, I could feel the stress and anxiety of wedding planning melting away. The property itself is beyond gorgeous thanks to Ken, the other half of the dynamic duo of owners. Despite being incredibly beautiful in pictures, the grounds are truly that much more stunning in person. My husband is a landscape designer himself, and this was the only venue that he actually got excited about. We knew immediately that we had finally found our place, with the staff making us feel like we were already part of the family.
Fast forward to our actual wedding day in late September 2025, and our wedding exceeded our wildest dreams. The team at Stone Mill takes care of everything, with detailed planning meetings leading up to the actual big day. I had multiple people tell me that I was the calmest bride they've ever met, and that is largely in part to the dedicated staff at the venue. From dedicated coordinators (thanks Corinne!), to property owners on site, there is absolutely nothing to worry about when you know every member of that team is working hard to give you the most memorable wedding day. Ken & Karen, and their team's attentiveness to our guest's needs, was remarked upon throughout the entire wedding, and days following. I don't know of many other venues where the property owners specifically involve themselves into making sure your wedding is perfect beyond measure.
Weeks later and our guests are STILL talking about the food. Some of which said that the side dishes almost rivaled the entrees themselves. Can you imagine? One guest sent me a picture of the salad she tried to recreate at home because she loved it so much. I had another friend tell me that he almost didn't want to eat dessert, because he was afraid of "sabotaging the experience" of his Chilean sea bass and risotto. We're seriously wondering if we can sign up for another tasting just to enjoy the food again.
Finally, the property is just gorgeous beyond measure. We are absolutely thrilled that it was a beautiful day so our guests could check out various parts of the grounds. Had it rained, however, we know the experience would have been just as wonderful, thanks to the team. Having a wedding experience as memorable as we did at Stone Mill Inn, is something that words truly can't define. Thank you Ken, Karen, and the entire Stone Mill Inn team for giving us the absolute best day of our lives. We are forever grateful, and we hope another one of our friends gets married here just so we can go back and enjoy everything all over again.

People say at least one thing goes wrong on your wedding day, but we can’t think of a single thing that went wrong, and even if it did we wouldn’t know. Amber, our coordinator had everything taken care of down to the second, and we will be forever grateful for her! Our vendors had nothing but amazing things to say about the venue and every staff member they interacted with. Our guests raved about the day, and we will forever cherish our time at Stone Mill Inn, and are grateful to be apart of their family!! -The Butts

Jim and Corinne checked in on us constantly and made sure we always had a drink in hand and peace of mind. The food provided in the bridal suite was absolutely incredible. The hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour and the meals at dinner were some of the most amazing food! The guests could not stop talking about how incredible it was. We are still getting texts about how delicious it was even days after the wedding!

Not only did she not mind all of the crazy-detail-oriented requests from myself, the bride, but she joined me in it! All of her suggestions were the perfect fit for us, as she got to know us. We felt like friends instead of just 'part of work'. Ken and Karen are the absolute best owners. They came out to greet us and meet with us on multiple occasions! They really truly just want to give their couples the best experience, and will make anything work. Don't even get us started on the late night pizza... this is a MUST! Honestly, we could not be happier with the Stone Mill Inn and will cherish our day forever, so much in part because of this amazing venue and the incredible people who make it wonderful.

We cannot say enough good things about Stone Mill Inn. We toured 3 venues and SMI was the clear choice in every single way.
The first thing that struck us was the beautiful groun...
ds. Our dream wedding was “forest fantasy whimsical,” so when we saw the Woodlands, we were hooked. We opted to have our ceremony in the Woodlands without any added flowers or decorations because the setting was just so perfect as is. Our guests have been posting pictures of their families all around the venue, and it’s so fun to see where everyone thought the prettiest spot was! Between the Abbey, the Woodlands, the Moongate, and all the gardens, there are so many gorgeous spots. Our families were transported to paradise for the day.
As a very organized person, I was so grateful for SMI’s planning team and process. They were clear and helpful in every step of the planning process. Between the planning meetings and all of the easy-to-navigate documents, everything was organized just to our liking. Our coordinator, Amber, was simply amazing. She was receptive to every little quirky thing we wanted and every last-minute change. When wedding week arrived and the stress started amping up, Amber was just a text away. There was some pretty nasty weather predicted for our wedding weekend, and Amber made us feel completely secure that everything would still work seamlessly - and would still be as beautiful as we imagined - if we had to use the rain plan. The rain plan was thorough, and it was a relief to know that we as the bride and groom wouldn’t be the ones taking care of the logistics if the weather didn’t cooperate. We ended up having beautiful weather, but it was amazing having a team that would have been able to handle it if it had rained!
Once wedding day rolled around, the SMI team treated us like royalty. We have never felt so pampered! There was always a cold water bottle at the ready. The planning team had little ear pieces to coordinate with one another; they were completely in control of making sure we didn’t see each other before the first look, and they made sure the shuttle had arrived and all our guests were seated before we started the procession. Ken made a point to personally bring my mother her preferred drink, and the SMI team was so incredibly helpful with our grandfather, who needed a little extra care (shade, a folding chair, and a golf cart to travel around the grounds). Our parents cannot stop raving about the staff at SMI.
And we can’t say enough about the food!!! Our biggest “splurge” was the cocktail hour apps. We and our guests absolutely loved all the pass-arounds. The tasting event back in the winter was one of the highlights of our year. We did a Pittsburgh cookie table for dessert, and Amber was so helpful in answering every single question (and we had A LOT). We brought in home brewed mead to serve as our specialty cocktail, and this, along with the beautiful woodland setting, prompted one of our guests to call our wedding “fantasy-core.” Mission accomplished!
We hope one day we’ll be lucky enough to come back to Stone Mill Inn as guests!

From our very first visit to Stone Mill Inn, we knew it was something special. The venue is absolutely stunning, every part of the property is beautifully maintained and feels like...
a dream. It truly set the perfect backdrop for our wedding day.
What made the day even more special was the incredible staff. They made everything feel effortless and completely stress free. We received so many compliments from our guests about how attentive and kind the team was throughout the entire day. The staff truly went above and beyond to make sure every single guest was cared for.
The food was another highlight, delicious and generously portioned. Our guests were raving about it all night, and we were so impressed ourselves. We even got to-go boxes!
Thanks to the amazing day of team and all the consistent communication and thoughtful check ins leading up to our big day, we felt completely supported every step of the way. The entire staff made us feel valued, important, and genuinely cared for. Staff extended that same warmth and attentiveness to our families and guests on our wedding day, which meant the world to us!
This venue and team exceeded every expectation we had and made our wedding day better than we could have imagined. We are forever grateful!

Stone Mill Inn has been fantastic from the start! Not only are the grounds breathtaking, but the food is delicious and the staff consists of some of the friendliest people I’ve met...
.
The planning process was extremely organized, they kept us on track and were always answering our questions along the way.
Amber was my day of coordinator, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better! She’s the sweetest person, and immediately felt like a friend. I had no stress that day knowing she had everything handled.
Jim was also fantastic! He checked in on us throughout the night, making sure we had food/drinks.
Throughout the night, friends and family kept coming up to us, raving about how wonderful the venue was. So thank you Stone Mill Inn Team! You guys made our day easy, breezy, and perfect!

What can we say other than THANK YOU!!! We had the most incredible experience with Stone Mill Inn for our June 21st 2025 wedding and we are so grateful to the each and every person...
that we worked with along the way!! We booked Stone Mill Inn two years out, and from that very first day they treated us like a member of the family. Our tour? 10/10. Our planning calls? 10/10. Our tasting? 10000/10. The day of? 10000000/10! We could not have made a better choice in selecting Stone Mill Inn for our wedding day. Something that immediately sold me on this venue was the true beauty everywhere that you look. Ken, Karen, and everyone on the Stone Mill team make the grounds absolutely breathtaking each time that you walk through. I couldn't WAIT for our guests to see the venue and they have not stopped talking about it since the wedding. Something else that was very important to my husband and I was the food for our wedding. I read every review raving about Stone Mill Inn's food and i'm here to say the same thing! The food? 1000000/10. We, as well as our guests, were OBSESSED! Not only was the food amazing, but the service was incredible as well. Jim consistently checked in on my husband and I and honestly is so amazing at what he does. The entire staff made the night go so well and made it the best we could have ever asked for. We also had the help and support of Casey (our day of coordinator) throughout the day (& well before the big day!) and are SO grateful for all that she did to make our day run so smoothly! Thank you, Stone Mill Inn, for giving us the best day of our lives and one that we will never forget!

We could not have chosen a better venue than Stone Mill Inn. The owners, Ken and Karen, are wonderful people. Our coordinator, Amber, and the whole planning team did an amazing j...
ob making sure the planning and wedding day went smoothly. The property is incredibly beautiful and immaculately maintained. The food was also amazing - we had numerous people tell us how it was the best food they had had at a wedding.
Other than the exceptional service, one of the biggest reasons why we chose Stone Mill Inn was just how much is included. We didn't have to worry about renting tables, chairs, or linens, and had plenty of options to choose from. We didn't have to hire an outside caterer, and the on-site food was top notch. We didn't feel the need to hire a planner or coordinator, and the day still went off without a hitch. This saved us a ton of time and stress throughout the planning process and made the overall pricing more transparent.
We are so grateful to everyone at Stone Mill Inn for making it the perfect day!! We can’t recommend them enough!

We were looking for a wedding venue in or around Lancaster County when we stumbled upon The Stone Mill Inn. We were meant to visit 2 additional venues, but as soon as we met the te...
am and saw the grounds, we were hooked and canceled those visits with the other venues. Enough can't be said about the entire team - every person who works there truly treated us like family and ensured we had the best day possible. Ken and Karen Painter take the best care of the property, consistently improving the grounds. Jim, the event manager, was so attentive and made sure we had tried the cocktail hour food and that we had a drink of our choice in our hands all night. Nichole, our coordinator, was the best person we could have asked to lead our day. Not only did she make sure all of our decor was displayed, she executed our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception flawlessly. Leading up to the day, she never batted an eye at the numerous questions and details we had to ensure our day felt unique to us. And lastly, she was ready to protect us as a couple at all costs - when we showed any signs of stress, she asked what she could do or who she could talk to to help alleviate any stress in the moment. The Stone Mill Inn was the perfect, picturesque wedding venue with the best food and kindest team around. Photos by Carolyn Jorgensen Photography.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience at the Stone Mill Inn. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking — from the beautifully maintained grounds to the charmi...
ng, elegant indoor spaces, every inch of the property is picture-perfect. Even though we had some unexpected rain, the team was able to make a last-minute decision that still allowed us to have part of our event outdoors, and we’re so grateful for their flexibility and quick thinking.
A special shoutout to Nichole, our day-of coordinator, who was a rock for us not just on the big day, but throughout the entire planning process. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and supportive, making sure every detail was accounted for. The entire planning team at the Stone Mill Inn was exceptional — they truly have everything down to a science. Drop-off and cleanup were a breeze, and honestly, we barely had to lift a finger when it came to setup or teardown. Their team took care of everything seamlessly.
The food was absolutely incredible. We had multiple guests tell us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had — and we agree! The catering staff was efficient, friendly, and kept everything running smoothly during dinner service.
Overall, we had the most amazing time at the Stone Mill Inn and cannot recommend them highly enough. It was the perfect venue for our wedding, and we’ll forever be grateful for the care and attention we received throughout the entire process.

Stone Mill Inn was love at first sight. We had looked at a lot of other venues in the area but once we toured SMI, we realized that this was where we wanted to get married. It didn...
't take much convincing at all. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, the landscaping is so well done, and there were various picturesque ceremony locations to choose from. But the Abbey was a no brainer for us. From the tour to our last planning meeting, the staff and owners were open to our ideas for our wedding and were incredibly supportive during the entire process. One of things we really wanted for our wedding was to incorporate Filipino culture as much as we could throughout the day. An example was that the head chef worked closely with us to produce a lechon pork for our cocktail hour that exceeded our expectations. Our guests could not stop raving about how delicious the food was.
Our original wedding coordinator, Amy, was amazing at giving us leads for certain aspects of our wedding. The recommended vendors who worked with us were amazing and this helped so much with our planning leading up to the day. She did wonderfully and made us comfortable, answering our questions, and giving suggestions to ensure that our day would be perfect.
Though Amy was not able to stay as our wedding coordinator through the whole process, we were quickly introduced to Amber who was amazing and stepped into her role efficiently and made us feel like we've already known her for such a long time. She was warm, welcoming, and so attentive not only to us as the bride and groom, but also to our family and friends. Amber was a professional through and through and we were so happy to work with her.
Overall, we could not have imagined getting married anywhere else. Our day was absolutely perfect, the food was amazing, the venue breathtaking, and our guests were thoroughly impressed. Thank you again, Stone Mill Inn. We wish you continued success for the future! :)

Stone Mill Inn is everything I could of hoped for and more! It was the 1st and only venue we visited and the second we got there I knew it was the one. First off the grounds & mill...
are SO beautiful! We got married infront of the Abbey and then had our reception inside the cozy Mill and it was so pretty but everywhere on the property is picturesque and dreamy. When we toured, Olivia was so welcoming and answered all of our questions. One of the owners, Ken, came out and sat with us for over a hour and it just felt like we knew them for years! You can tell the staff is truly like a family and it shines through their customer service. After we booked we worked with our coordinator Nichole going forward, who is AWESOME! She made it so easy to plan everything, they even sent us helpful tips throughout the months leading up to our wedding. Nichole answered any questions I had and made sure our wedding was perfect. On our wedding day Nichole and Amber made sure everything was set up like I envisioned and that we had everything me and my girls needed in the bridal suite (which is in the house & is so beautiful too!).
Fast forward to the day of the wedding and it was truly a perfect day. I had zero stress because the SMI staff made it that way. From the moment we arrived to packing up the car at the end of the night, everything was taken care of! Also, the food was DELICIOUS! All of our guests were raving about it, shout out to Chef Dan & kitchen staff! If your thinking about getting the grilled cheese/tomato soup shooters.. DO IT :) Also Jim, the event manager, was so great and made sure that we had everything we needed on our wedding day and everytime I turned around to ask for something he was already there like he read our minds!
Overall if you are looking for a gorgeous venue with amazing food on site and a super friendly staff SMI is it! You can tell the owners, Ken and Karen, and all of their staff put their heart & soul into their venue to make sure every couples big day is amazing. I only hope that one day someone I know will get married there so I can go back and experience it all again!

edding vision to life that at the time we didn’t even know we had. At every step they went out of their way to make sure our wedding was exactly as we wanted it to be. The chef even made hors d’oeuvres using family recipes.
I think almost every single guest told us it was the best wedding, with the best food, that they’ve ever been to (and they’ve been to A LOT of weddings). The team exhibited truly unparalleled professionalism and care. We felt like a part of your family all day (and even every meeting, email, and phone call leading up to the event). Staff was constantly checking in but also somehow were so subtle and unnoticed by guests to make sure we had everything we needed. Amber even rescued me when my dress got claustrophobic and brought my pajamas from the car so I could change and keep dancing! I feel like I could gush on forever but I will try and wrap it up by saying that we truly had the most perfect wedding and it is ALL thanks to their impeccable team.

ee. The team was responsive and willing to answer all of our questions. Getting to revisit the venue for our tasting was such a treat - and we loved that we could include our parents in the process. We were nervous to settle on an August date given the summer heat but WOW, we could not have been happier with our decision. SMI is truly a one of a kind venue but seeing the grounds in full bloom in August made for the backdrop of our dreams. We utilized all aspects of the venue - first look at the woodlands, ceremony at the abbey, dinner under the tent & dancing in the mill. Everything was beautiful! We were not stressed at all knowing we were in great hands. From dropping off our decor the Thursday before, to getting ready in the bridal suite, to leaving the venue at the end of the night, we didn't lift a finger the entire weekend! Our guests still rave about how attentive the staff was, how beautiful the grounds were, and how amazing the food was. It is so apparent how much love goes into every aspect of the venue! Thank you Ken, Karen, Olivia, and the entire team for giving us the wedding of our dreams. Not sure we will ever stop talking about it!

We held our wedding at Stone Mill Inn last summer and we couldn't be more thrilled with our experience. From start to finish, the team at SMI were absolutely incredible. They went ...
above and beyond, spending countless hours with us to help with the planning process along the way.
The dedication and thoughtful approach that the whole team brings to the table is unmatched. They considered every minute detail, even those we hadn’t thought of, which made our day stress-free and incredibly special.
The venue itself is also breathtaking and you truly can't go wrong with any of the ceremony locations. Everything is beautifully maintained and it's obvious that Ken, Karen, and the team take great pride in their work.
The food was also some of the best wedding food we have ever had. Between the dinner, appetizer options, and late night pizza oven it's impossible to choose a favorite! It's been 6 months since our wedding and our guests are still raving about the food.
We wholeheartedly recommend Stone Mill Inn to any couple looking for a wedding venue that exceeds expectations. It was everything we had dreamed of and more. Thank you Ken, Karen, Nichole, Olivia, Amy, Kate, and Jim for everything you do! We can't wait to come back and visit!

If I wrote a ten thousand-word essay, it would still not be enough to explain how phenomenal our Wedding Day was at the Historic Stone Mill Inn.
On our very first day touring ven...
ues in the area, the Stone Mill Inn was our last stop of the day. We were greeted by Ken and Karen Painter, the owners, who welcomed us into their stunning home onsite. I quickly learned that part of this gorgeous, historic house doubled as THE BRIDAL SUITE. We were then given a tour of the property by one of the coordinators, Amy Flinn, visiting both The Woodlands and The Abbey. The winding pathways throughout the property were lined with moody, modern chandeliers that provided the perfect ambiance. We circled back toward the Mill and visited a picturesque fireplace that quite literally stole the show. Lastly, we viewed a grand, billowy outdoor tent and entered into the Mill. We chatted with Ken, Karen & Amy like seemingly old friends, just catching up and talking about our future. It all felt just right.
Anthony and I got into our cars, looked at one another and agreed - this would be JUST the place to get married. We knew that we would be taken care of and treated like family. They delivered on this, and so much more.
The entire team at the Stone Mill Inn made the wedding planning process easy and fun. We were treated to a complimentary food tasting, along with our parents, and other couples of the 2024 wedding season. Beyond that, we had two in-person meetings with Amy, as well as a final call over the phone. Throughout the entire process, Amy was so kind, thoughtful, and incredibly detail-oriented. She thought of EVERYTHING, and made the planning process seem not so scary. We could not have done it without her!
Now, for the Big Day. Where do I even begin?
The day was so beautifully-coordinated and each member of the team at the Stone Mill Inn made this possible. Both Amy and Olivia managed a perfect flow of events, allowing us to be fully present and carefree on our wedding morning. Every single one of my requests was honored, and if something went wrong that day, I still have no idea! Our ceremony went off without a hitch, and we were immediately greeted with appetizers and beverages that never went empty. Jim, Amy's husband, provided THE most phenomenal food and beverage service to us throughout the entire night. They were both there for anything and everything. Even Ken and Karen were present for the entire day. Karen helped me with my veil and draped our legs in blankets as we were getting ready. Ken was outside, making sure every detail would be perfect for us. They even served our guests cocktails. Truly, they treated us like family and it is something we will be forever grateful for.
The food was phenomenal and two months later, my guests still talk to me about "the short rib." 10/10 dining experience. And if that wasn't fabulous enough, all of the leftovers, all of the extra cake and alcohol is packaged and waiting for you when you depart.
In summary, the Stone Mill Inn was the PERFECT choice in venues for our Wedding Day. The staff and service, as well as beautiful scenery, make for the best wedding Venue in York and surrounding areas. We would do this day a million times over, but we don't have to. They gave us perfect memories that we will cherish forever.
Thank you, Stone Mill Inn!
With Love,
The Cassellis

We recently celebrated our wedding at Stone Mill Inn. From the moment we booked, the planning process was so smooth. Nichole and the team helped us with every aspect of the plannin...
g process. Their attention to detail was evident in every step, and they made sure that nothing was overlooked.
The venue itself is absolutely magical from the moment you step on property. The space offers a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces. The grounds are well maintained. The lighting, decor options, and overall atmosphere made it feel like we were living in a fairytale. Our guests were in awe of how beautiful everything looked, and it truly was a picture-perfect setting. Whether you’re envisioning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, this venue creates the perfect backdrop.
The staff at Stone Mill Inn were phenomenal. On our wedding day, every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. The waitstaff, bartenders, and coordinators were friendly, attentive, and professional. The catering team provided top-tier service, ensuring our guests were well taken care of throughout the evening. The staff made it a point to check on my now husband and I to make sure all of our needs were met.
While the venue may initially seem like an investment, the value is undeniable. When you factor in the quality of the service, food, and atmosphere, it truly felt like we got more than our money’s worth.
The food was incredible and still has our guests talking. We chose a plated dinner with several options, and the food was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The convenience of having everything in one place, handled by professionals who work together seamlessly, was priceless.
If you’re looking for a stress-free, elegant, and all-encompassing wedding experience, Stone Mill Inn is the place to be. It takes care of everything, allowing you to focus on the most important part: celebrating with your loved ones. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we’re so grateful for everything this venue provided. Highly recommend!

I always felt like a priority even months ahead of my wedding.

Ken, Karen, Nichole, Olivia and Jim all feel more like family than staff who hosted our wedding and we miss spending time with them already a week later!

staff from that day all the way to our wedding day were very helpful, patient, professional, and friendly. They gave us a 7 course meal for their food tasting. The food there is downright incredible. They have multiple ceremony spots to fit your vibe best.
Nichole helped us shape our day into a stress free, magical wedding day. They had catering staff specifically for us (the groom and bride) on our wedding day. They paid so much attention to us and it truly felt like they were happy to celebrate with us which made it so much better in every way.
If you’re looking for a magical wedding venue, it’s worth the drive from Philadelphia area for sure. Thank you to all the staff who made our day so perfect.

or she is awesome! She helped so much with putting my worries at ease and just making the day run smoothly. The owners Ken and Karen are lovely people and they take great pride in their gorgeous property and keep it looking extremely nice all year round. All of the servers were super sweet and were ready to help anyone they could with anything they needed. For example my bridesmaid dropped something on her dress and within a minute someone brought out a tide pen for her. The Stone Mill Inn Team is really special you can tell they are a well oiled machine when they are running an event. In the weeks after the wedding I've had so many people tell me how beautiful everything was and how amazing the staff was, and the FOOD! Don't get me started, the appetizers were so good and the meals were amazing! We had a shrimp dish, a pork chop dish, and a chicken dish and all of my guests RAVED over the food. They are also very accommodating for all food allergies which is very nice and important as I had a lot of seafood and I have a few family members that are allergic and they did a fantastic job. All in all Stone Mill Inn was the PERFECT place for our wedding. All of the workers are amazing, all of the food is fantastic, the venue itself is gorgeous, and they really work with you to help you feel like you have everything together. There is no better place. If you are looking for a beautiful fairy tale wedding Stone Mill Inn is the place. Thank you so much for making my dream a reality.

Stone Mill Inn is a venue that if you choose, you won't soon regret. We had the absolute pleasure of having our wedding there this past weekended. Let me tell you it was one of th...
e most magical days and not a single guest had anything negative to say. They were all blown away by the attentiveness and care Stone Mill Inn took with our event.
When we first were looking at venues Stone Mill Inn was right at the top. It provides a day of coordinator, free heated tent come rain or shine, not terribly far from airports, has accessibility options like free golf cart use to and from ceremony sites, and an onsite bridal suite. This is not including the immaculate grounds that are constantly maintained and improved by the owner Ken. Or the incredible food served there, highly reccomend the tomato soup grilled cheese shooters. Stone Mill Inn works with their clients to tailor their venue to the couples vision and needs.
We had the absolute pleasure working with Amy as our day of coordinator. She was communicative throughout the process, checking in months prior to make sure we were on track. She talked me through the rain plan if we needed one, to help calm my nerves. Amy went above and beyond my expectations in setting up the wedding decor with her team. She made the day flow seamlessly and worry free. She even worked with last minute changes to table layouts, and kept track of guest allergens. Amy made our day an absolute dream. She even answered my texts the next day, helping me to locate some decor they packed up. All to help quell my very anxious husband.
So if you're looking for a venue that gets as excited about your wedding as your are then look no further. This venue and their staff truly care about the couples that they work with and are overall just a bucket of good vibes. If we had to do it all again we would pick this venue everytime and will forever reccomend them.

The hard-working team at Stone Mill Inn was an absolute dream in creating the perfect wedding day for Kieffer and I. They went above and beyond to make our July wedding the most sp...
ecial day. With a weather forecast impacting the intended ceremony location of the Abbey, Amy and the STI team were diligent in communicating ceremony location changes and, when it became apparent it would not be able to happen outdoors, crafted a beautiful atmosphere under the tent that made our ceremony just as magical as we could've imagined.
Amy was one of the true highlights of the experience for me. She was organized and professional, and, more importantly, was extremely kind and thoughtful throughout the stressful process of wedding planning. Amy's consistent positivity in our planning meetings was encouraging and gave me confidence that all our ideas and details were being considered and included to make the ceremony and reception what we had envisioned. It would not have been as beautiful a day without her support and expertise.
The culinary team and the serving team were absolute stars of the evening as well. They were so attentive to the needs of ourselves and our guests; I appreciated getting to enjoy so many of the cocktail hour foods even while we were in the midst of photos. That is thanks to the amazing servers that made sure we got fed and hydrated! Our friends and family in attendance continue to rave about the delicious hors d'oeuvres and main course meals they ate.
We are thankful to Ken, Karen, Amy, Jim and the entire team over at Stone Mill for such a positive experience! From every step of the planning process to the rehearsal the day before and the wedding day itself, they prioritized creating the most special wedding day for Kieffer and I. We highly recommend this venue.

We couldn't have asked for a better person to help make our day perfect. Amy always had suggestions for every question or thought I could have for our wedding day and helped make our dreams possible. And, of course, Ken and Karen. It's another dream team that I can't say anything but nice things about. When we first met them, they were genuine people who loved their jobs. Every time we visited the venue, they came with open arms to greet us. I loved that my husband and I didn't have to think about packing anything up, and we could enjoy our night. The catering was AMAZING!! I could not have asked for a better menu of food. Everything was so delicious that my husband and I had difficulty deciding what to have for our menu options. We chose the chicken and beef tenderloin, which was fabulous! So much stress goes into planning a wedding, but SMI was the best choice for getting married. They made us feel like royalty. Everything fell into place, and we cannot thank this team enough for being such a fabulous team and being extraordinary human beings.

Ourselves, as well as our guests, cannot stop talking about how great the venue, food, drinks, etc. was. THANK YOU to the whole SMI family.

I am the Mother of the Groom and this past weekend my son, and now daughter-in-law, had their wedding event here. I cannot find the words to adequately praise this venue! The own...
ers, the staff, the food, the facility - were all magnificent! Not only did they make the bride and groom feel special and important, they gave just as much attention to families on both sides as well as all the other guests. There wasn't a single detail that wasn't considered. There was always someone to handle, help, or assist with anything. A niece asked the Maitre d what she could eat during the cocktail hour because of dietary restrictions, and he provided her with a plate rather than just telling her what to eat. He was outstanding. The bridal suite was stunning, the grounds stunning, the food fantastic...we received so many compliments on all aspects. As good as the food was when we did the tasting, it was just as good the day of the event. We walked away from this event so pleased, and in awe, at how well they planned and worked with such professional people who truly care about what they are doing. There is no doubt in my mind that they deserve 5 stars and then some! Thank you for such a wonderful and memorable wedding !

The venue and their team made our dream come true. We got married 6/15/24 and our day was perfect from beginning to end. The venue itself is so beautiful. Ken (the owner) and his l...
andscaping team make the property look magical each season. The bridal suite is a cute space for the ladies to get ready. Plenty of room. I had 10+ people plus make up/hair. They also just had renovations done that added subtle changes that made all the difference.
What really made this place stand out were the people behind the scenes. From the first time we met with Olivia (our wedding day coordinator) and Ken it was palpable how much they cared for their guests. It meant so much to us how they remember each and every client, and put their all into each couple’s day. We immediately sensed their genuine passion for hospitality and I can say now that they are all so truly talented at making your vision come to life.
The wedding coordinators work together to make sure your questions and emails are answered promptly. We mainly worked with Olivia and she is the BEST! She is so kind, caring, professional, and genuinely a great person. She helped me stay sane when I felt like a mess and answered all my last minute questions.
The serving staff the day of were incredible! They’re efficient and polite. Thank you to Jim who managed the event and made sure everything came out amazing. A big plus is wedding party service AKA you and your party are taken care of during cocktail hour photos with your own personal staff members providing drinks and food. They even got my change of shoes when I couldn't stand my heels anymore! Shoutout to Connor!
Thank you to the whole Stone Mill Inn team for our perfect day! We had the best time celebrating our marriage at your venue. The pictures are beautiful but they don’t do it justice - go see this venue and talk to the team, trust me, you’ll fall in love!

Our July wedding was everything we wished for and more. From our first time seeing the venue to our actual wedding day- everyone/everything was above and beyond. Nicole was our wed...
ding coordinator at the venue and she took the time to get to know us as a couple to make sure our day was amazing. My husband is hard to open up to at first- but Nicole took the time to figure out a connection (the Army) before diving into details. This helped him have more of a voice in meetings and feel comfortable with the process. From every last-minute question to the day of random tasks, Nicole did it all without making us seem like a burden or ridiculous in any way. She was everywhere the day of but always made sure I got what I needed and felt confident all day. She does it all- and even helps serve the food! She was incredible in every way and we owe her many thanks!
The staff- what is there to say besides- THANK YOU! The bartenders- amazing (the drinks were phenomenal!). Waitstaff- Amazing. Chiefs- Amazing. Owners- amazing! We heard so many things about our wedding but one consistent thing was how nice and helpful everyone was to our guests, along with raving food reviews. My Husband was and still is bragging about our menu!
The venue itself deserves its own review- It was gorgeous. The house the bride and bridesmaid get ready is perfect to enjoy a relaxing morning. For pictures, there are so many breathtaking spots. We still only have our sneaks but I am showing everyone because every single picture is amazing! Coming from a family of gardeners- they were impressed with the grounds! Everywhere you look- beautiful lush gardens. The historical Mill is preserved so well that you want it to be in all your pictures!
I could write another 5 paragraphs but it all comes down to, we were so lucky to have found Stone Mill Inn. It exceeded our expectations. We had our dream wedding and it was largely because of Stone Mill Inn! We would recommend it to anyone!!

We absolutely LOVED working with the entire staff at the Stone Mill Inn. From our first tour to the wedding day, they were so kind and truly cared about us and our vision for our d...
ay. Our coordinator Amy was so helpful in answering any questions that we had, and making recommendations to make sure the day ran smoothly. We loved the convenience of having catering on site, and all of the food was delicious! We enjoyed the tasting event a few months before the wedding to select our menu choices, and get a sense of how the reception would look. The property is STUNNING; with the natural beauty you don’t need to do much to decorate. On our wedding day, the staff took care of everything! From checking in on us in the bridal suite, directing vendors when they arrived for the day, helping stay on track with the timeline, even making sure we had a cocktail waiting for us at the end of the aisle after the ceremony!! We still get compliments from our guests on how kind and helpful all of the staff were, how beautiful the property is, and how good the food was!! We cannot recommend the Stone Mill Inn enough!!!

Hello Stone Mill Inn,
Just a very quick e-mail of thanks for ALL of your hard work, consideration, and mindfulness throughout our daughter, Natalie, and her now husband, Kieffer's...
wedding last Friday evening (7/12). We know you are already gearing up for another eventful weekend, and you've been busy with other weddings since; but, we wanted to make sure everyone there knew how much we appreciated your efforts last week and we don't take for granted just how much work you put into preparing for, and making those visions come to fruition on the actual day!
We got to see firsthand the many "wheels turning" from the moment the girls got there at 9 am. Your consideration for Natalie's hope to have the ceremony up at the Abbey was genuine and we are grateful that you waited until there was no other alternative but to hold it under the tent, which was beautiful and could not have turned out better! However, the most amazing part was how skillfully your incredible staff ALL pitched in to turn a cocktail hour space into a wedding altar, then break it down again back into a cocktail hour space! We still don't know how you all did so artfully and professionally. And for the weather to break long enough to get pictures up that the Abbey made the day all the more perfect!
It is obvious that you care about those you serve. No doubt, you meet many types of people from many different backgrounds with many different expectations each and every week. Natalie and Kieffer are a special young couple (again, our bias shows), and both wanted their wedding to be a celebration! As two public school teachers, they worked hard to make their wedding day special. For our family, marriage is a sacred covenant and their wedding brought together family and friends who haven't seen each other in years. You ALL played such a big part in this and we give thanks for you.
We finish with the top 5 things that really stuck out to layman eyes: 1) Amy. She just was so encouraging and positive with Natalie and we are so thankful for her expertise and passion for what she does; 2) Jim. He was always on the go! Again, so friendly and reassuring! 3) Teamwork. There were just so many examples of how EVERYONE pitched in to help (moving benches, checking on groom, FOB, FOG, taking things where they needed to go, setting up, packing up, etc.). This includes the obvious emphasis you put into the training and "togetherness of mission" to the staff. The ENTIRE waitstaff was TREMENDOUS and there aren't enough good things to say about the young men and women working Natalie and Kieffer's wedding. They were friendly, helpful, hardworking, and represented Stone Mill Inn in the highest way possible. 4) Food. It was delicious and we know we threw in a monkey wrench by going a little long with speeches/dances. So many attendees had such glowing comments about the food and appetizers! 5) Relationships with vendors. It was also obvious how welcoming you are to the vendors and just how "hand in glove" those relationships work. Amy and Jim had such great interactions with several!
Well, we probably made this e-mail a little longer than expected; however, it really was important for us to let you know what a wonderful day it was and how good you are at what you do! We appreciate you ALL!
With much gratitude,
John and Ramona B. (Parents of now Natalie Q.)
