The Mill Lakeside Manor

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. Thank you to the entire team for making our wedding day so amazing and unforgettable!

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.

Our wedding at The Mill was nothing short of magical! The venue itself is breathtaking, with gorgeous lake views and colorful gardens. Not only was the venue stunning, but the food and service were exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious, and our guests STILL rave about the quality and presentation, four months later. All of the staff was incredibly attentive and professional, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. We cannot say enough wonderful things about our wedding coordinator, Sue. She was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the ENTIRE planning process! She was always available to answer our questions and provide guidance. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she ensured that everything ran smoothly on our big day. On the day of our wedding, Tyler was absolutely amazing. He was always there to assist us and our guests, and he made sure that everything went according to plan. He even took the time to ensure that our parents were well taken care of. We are so grateful to have chosen The Mill for our wedding. It was the perfect place to celebrate our love with all of our family and friends!

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 was easily the best choice we ever made! Everything was absolutely perfect! It is a STUNNING venue that our guests were in awe of. Every staff member is friendly and eager to help in any way they can. My guests are still talking about how this was the best wedding they have ever been to and cannot get over how much food there was AND how delicious it all was! The Mill made this process so easy. They took care and thought of everything. They made our long awaited day (thanks Covid) a dream come true! I wish I could get married here again, that's how much I loved it all. Do yourself a favor and book this venue!

The mill lakeside manor is probably the best venue to ever exist. Now, this sounds like a silly thing to say because there are tons of venues out there, but hear me out. From the beginning I was a skeptic. I won’t lie to you. I flat out said that I wanted to hate this venue because I truly had another venue in mind that I thought was the one. However , halfway home after our tour I turned to my now husband, and said “ I want to go back. That is the venue.” So I called Susan, and told her we were going to get the deposit and we will be back.. I AM SAYING YES TO THE VENUE! THe booking process was so seamless, they outline EVERYTHING for you. There is nothing “hidden” about what you are paying, and they do listen to you when you say your budget. There is also a very detailed outline of when payments are due. This helped so much in being able to pre plan for upcoming payments. I will say the payments do seem intimidating, and can be stressful, but you really really get what you pay for in service, quantity and quality of food, staffing, everything. This venue is worth every single penny they charge. One of the things I like most about this venue (there's a lot), but I love that when you come to drop off payments you are able to actually walk around and envision your day, and plan ahead for decor, seating, etc.. The staff truly makes you feel extremely welcomed, and it shows how much they love what they do. Susan was probably the most amazing person throughout every aspect of wedding planning as a whole for me. She answered every question I could possibly have, and was such a breath of fresh air to work with. I could probably write half this review just about how great she was to work with. Another favorite of mine is the fact that the cake is in your package. There is no stress at all about finding the perfect place, worrying about delivery, etc.. The partnership with The Chocolate Carousel is AMAZING. All we had to do was call the bakery book our tasting, and have a cake consultation. THAT'S IT! Plus, The Chocolate Carousel is one of my favorites, so I was happy about that too. Lol. Decor drop off is so easy. Confirmation of everything is so seamless and simple. Honestly, I got scared I wasn’t as stressed as I thought I “should be” because everything was so easy and amazing. Wedding day was seriously beyond words. Susan, Tyler, Julie, Maryann, EVERYONE deserve 10 million gold stars and raises. They are true magic makers. I truly appreciated how comfortable they made everyone feel and confident with everything. I love how organized and on point they were. Like spy’s with their ear pieces. Also I love how SAFE myself and my guests felt there. I wish I could write a million paragraphs about this place, but I will leave my review with this: I had a dream since childhood to be a princess, have the Cinderella wedding, and the Mill made that happen.

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

Run, don't walk!!!! The mill was the most perfect venue for our wedding. We felt at home right from the start, with Jewel as our coordinator helping us every step of the way. Our wedding was a gorgeous day, so we had an outdoor ceremony at the gazebo, indoor/outdoor cocktail hour on the deck, and then indoor reception upstairs. The view was breathtaking with the lake and flowers everywhere. Our guests also couldn't stop talking about how fantastic the food was! Not only was the venue perfect, but the staff were extraordinary. Jewel and Richard helped us with so much and answered all of my questions so quickly & professionally. We wouldn't have had such an amazing day without them! The staff felt more like family towards the end of the day, and we hope we can come back for another wedding/event in the future!!!

5 stars isn’t enough!! The Mill is the most dreamy venue, with the most amazing staff. They have such an amazing attention to detail, wonderful and positive attitudes, and an overall love and passion for what they do. A special thank you goes to Rich and Susan who truly understood us and made our vision a reality.
