Decorated with rich draped curtains and elegant chandeliers, this room evokes a luxurious and tasteful air. You and your guests can walk through to the outside courtyard to enjoy a view of the manicured gardens. For more intimate gatherings, couples may prefer to hold their reception in the Grain House. With rustic yet elegant decor, this site boasts a choice of three event rooms, each with its own unique features. Each space offers a passage outside, with private decking, terraces, and atriums, giving you and your loved ones the chance to take in the bountiful beauty of the gardens.

From our first meeting with Lindsay we realized we would be in good hands. She was very professional and an excellent communicator with any questions we had about our reception and our rehearsal dinner.
John was our maître D and he was amazing and professional. He set up and break down all our decor. He checked in on us as were getting ready and reassured us that everything was going as plan. He even made sure we had all our cocktail hour food set up in the Bernard’s suite for our private cocktail hour. He was diligent about checking in on us throughout the night as well.
The food was amazing and far exceeded expectations. We have gotten so many compliments on the food especially the cocktail hour. The Inn is so charming and the accommodations were amazing. Staff- thank you for making our day stress free and memorable.

The Olde Mill Inn was a dream venue. We got married in December and it was decorated beautifully for Christmas. Guests are still talking about how stunning the Olde Mill looked. We worked with Lindsay to book and plan out the details and she was so prompt and helpful with her responses. We were lucky to have John as our maitre d and he made sure everything was taken care of leading up to and on the day of the wedding. John brought us and our parents appetizers and drinks throughout cocktail hour and when it was time to cut the cake, he ran to make sure our parents didn't miss it. We were so fortunate to have him help to make the day wonderful. One of the greatest aspects is the convenience of having the rooms right there on site. It was easy for guests to head to bed after the reception - or after the after party at the Grain House across the parking lot.

The olde mill inn is a dream come true venue! From our first encounter touring the space with Kate to meeting with our maitre D John, the olde mill inn team left us with no regrets. Kate was very knowledgeable and thorough, covering every small detail and explanation. John is super personable and will do everything possible to make sure that the job is done perfectly. Thanks to Kate, John, and the rest of the crew, our dream wedding became a reality. We cannot thank them enough for their hard work and dedication to making this happen. Would highly recommend!

We were SO happy with how our wedding at the OMI went. From the Lindsey in sales to David as our Maitre D, we could not have been happier with how our wedding went. Our ceremony was off-site but we got ready and had the cocktail hour and reception at the OMI. The morning getting ready was so relaxing and everyone was extremely helpful. ** just a fun tip. My husband and I stayed in the Bernards suite the night before the wedding, that way we had the room for full wedding day and that is actually where the guys got ready and it worked perfectly! We had a cocktail style dinner and had a few little random requests that they accommodated perfectly. The entire staff was welcoming and professional and it was such a cozy winter time wedding. The location is also great because it is right off the highway and easy to access. I recommend the OMI for many types of couples who are looking for a cozy, yet formal wedding venue who want a stress-free and fun day. We had SO MUCH FUN at the OMI from start to finish. Thank you!

We hosted our wedding at the Olde Mill Inn in November of 2024, and we were absolutely blown away by the food, the venue itself, and the level of service they provide.
They have two venues on site, the Olde Mill Inn hotel and the Grain House restaurant. We went with the Olde Mill Inn and they were great, even above our expectations. Their facilities are beautiful, with a unique vibe, layout, and history that leaves an impression on wedding guests. They are an all-in-one package that we found really valuable when planning a wedding. They have a fantastic ceremony location in their courtyard, they are a well-run venue with great food, and the Olde Mill Inn is a convenient hotel for your guests so you won't have to worry about providing shuttle service. Also, the bar at the Grain House is open late for wedding guests looking for an after party.
Their food menu for weddings is full of really unique and delicious options. Their team is also great at making sure the bride and groom get the time and service they need in order to fully enjoy their wedding night, including the food! I've been to weddings where the bride and groom barely ate, but I have to that our maitre'd David and his team for making sure to provide us with every available menu item we had at our wedding, plus plenty of water and drinks.
David really was the MVP of our wedding, making sure our needs were met, interfacing with our vendors when we couldn't, and being open to helping us pull off our more out-of-the-box ideas. His whole team was great. Extra shout out to Gloria for helping pin up the bustle on my wife's dress. We can't thank the whole team enough!

I got married at The Olde Mill Inn in early October. It was the BEST decision. My sister got married there years before so it was definitely on my list to check out. As soon as we left the tour - we knew The Olde Mill was the location for us! Our experience got even better when we were assigned David as our maître d'. David was super accommodating and helpful during the planning process. The day of - he ran the whole day smoothly and EVERY little detail was planned out and thought of ahead of time. In addition to David, the entire staff was wonderful to work with. I received so many positive comments from my bridal party and guests about the venue and the staff. Not to mention - the hotel accommodation is right there to! No need to stress planning a separate location for hotel or shuttle service to get there. I HIGHLY recommend the Olde Mill Inn as a wedding venue!

Having our wedding reception at The Grain House was a dream come true for my husband And I. Our maitre’d, David Goldsmith, did the absolute best job at seeing that our dream bf or this wedding become a reality. This was seriously the best day of my life and I couldn’t imagine having found a better venue than this! Our wedding was relatively small, And the Grain House provided for the perfect rustic backdrop for our celebration! We are so grateful to the venue’s staff and crew for all the time and effort put into ensuring our special day went smoothly. Again, extra special thanks to David for making sure we were happy every step of the way! We can’t wait to celebrate future wedding anniversaries at this location!

The Olde Mill Inn and Grain House is a beautiful venue to be married at! For smaller weddings, under 100, the Grain House is the perfect size. The Inn makes finding all of your other vendors easy by hosting an event where you can walk around and interact with all possible vendors and see who fits your wedding style best. The staff is so kind and wonderful to work with.

I cannot recommend the Olde Mill Inn highly enough! My husband and I got married in the ballroom in June 2024, and it was truly a wonderful experience.
We signed our contract in January 2024 and took advantage of the summer special discount, which included reduced costs and added perks. From start to finish, the staff at OMI was incredible. I especially want to praise John and Lea, along with the rest of the team, for their attentiveness, availability, and dedication to ensuring every detail of both our wedding and rehearsal dinner was perfect.
One of the standout aspects of our experience was working with our maître d’, John, who began coordinating with us eight weeks before the wedding. Getting to know him (and having him get to know us) made the entire process so much more personal and special. I also highly recommend using OMI’s Preferred Vendors—it made a big difference to work with people familiar with the venue and its processes.
In addition to offering the honeymoon suite for free on the wedding night, OMI provides the bride and groom with a certificate for a complimentary hotel room on their first anniversary—a thoughtful and generous gesture!
Overall, I 100% recommend the Olde Mill Inn. The staff is dedicated, kind, and caring, and they go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable.

My wife and I got married on Saturday, November 2 in the ballroom and everything was absolutely perfect! John was our Maitre’ D and we worked closely with Kate as well. They were both incredible to work with. John was very attentive and was always there for us. Everything went smoothly and our day was wonderful!
Our guests raved about the food and the beautiful venue! For food, we highly recommend the french onion boule, southwest station, and mini cheesesteak bar!
We are definitely going to be going back to this venue for future events!

We got married at the Olde Mill Inn on 10/12/2024 and it was truly the best day of our lives. Olde Mill Inn was amazing from our initial contact up until we left the day after our wedding. David was our Matri'd and he was nothing short of amazing. David made sure everything was running smoothly and that we always had a drink in our hand! He made sure that we got to eat and enjoy our wedding food and packed up everything we did not finish and put it in our room at the end of the night. Lea was our initial contact who was extremely pleasant and easy to work with. Both David & Lea answered all our questions and ensured we had the best day of our lives. David also helped set up the reception space which was even better than I could have imagined. David really made my vision come to life. The food was amazing, our guests are still raving about it a month later and saying it was the best wedding they've been to! We wound up having more no's than anticipated, and added on several extras at cocktail hour and desert options. Everybody loved EVERYTHING, and reheated the next day it was just as tasty. I hope we can attend as guests one day!

The Grain House did an amazing job. Despite a light rain, we were still able to have an outdoor ceremony under the tent. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive. Our maître d’, David, ensured that our wedding celebration ran smoothly. He was responsive over the months leading up to our event and provided informed, honest advice about many of the decisions that we were weighing. On the day of, he checked in with us frequently, to help calm our nerves. Throughout the evening, he gathered samples of the food, so that we could focus on spending time with our guests. So many of those guests shared how impressed they were with The Grain House. David and the staff are very good at what they do.

We had the most magical wedding in the Ballroom. The courtyard was beautiful for our ceremony, the food throughout was incredibly delicious, and the service was friendly, professional, and caring. The staff always made sure our needs were taken care of and answered any questions we had through the process. From the moment we met our Maitre'd David, we knew we were in the best of hands. He was friendly, honest, and helpful. Leading up to our wedding he was always available when we had questions, and by the time our wedding day came we had full confidence that it would be a perfect day. David checked on us and kept our schedule timely, making sure we got to enjoy every moment of our special day. We received many comments from our guests about how lovely the hotel staff was too! Overall, the Olde Mill Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding.

All I can say is wow. I had my dream wedding from start to finish thanks to the Olde Mill Inn and its staff, and especially our Maitre D, John. From the very first meeting with the Olde Mill Inn, the staff was easy to work with, clear, organized, and communicative. The process was so easy and I felt relaxed and confident throughout the planning period. We got many compliments after the wedding about the food, venue, and organization of the whole day. I chose to have my rehearsal dinner and ceremony at the Grain House and it made planning everything so easy. The prices were also extremely reasonable for everything the package included. I highly recommend this venue and would pick it again in a heartbeat!!

We got married at the Olde Mill Inn in August 2024, and we could not be happier with the service! From the moment we signed our contract, Lindsay was available to answer all of our questions. Our Maitre'D, David, was incredibly attentive and helpful as well. My dad uses adaptive equipment, and everyone at the Olde Mill made sure that he was able to participate in our wedding comfortably and confidently. David arrived early Saturday morning and checked in with us regularly throughout the day. The service was incredible, and the space was absolutely stunning. I didn't have to think about a single thing once the day arrived, and we were truly able to relax and enjoy the day. We have already recommended this venue to many of our friends, and will continue to remember the absolutely perfect day we had.

The Olde Mill Inn made our dreams a 100% reality. The second we left our meeting we knew that this was the place we needed to be. Kate and John were absolutely INCREDIBLE. They didn't shy away from any challenge or request and they made it happen, and even better than expected. The whole entire process from booking, to execution was FLAWLESS and EASY, which is important for a day that can be stressful! We knew we were in great hands and had to worry about nothing..

The Olde Mill Inn was charming and beautiful for our wedding day. We had our ceremony outside at the gazebo and had an indoor-outdoor reception at the Grain House.
We booked our day with Lea about a year prior and she was very kind, responsive, and helpful. We toured and looked at quotes with many other vendors, and found that The Old Mill Inn offered us so much more “bang for our buck” with food, amenities, and prices. We had a smaller wedding of about 60 people and were able to have the wedding on a weekend where it felt like a priority to staff, which I think was pretty special in comparison to other venues.
We had Reda Abouzeid as our Maitre’ d and we could not have been happier. He was so genuinely nice, thoughtful, and attentive. Both before the wedding and on the day of, I could see the care and attention to detail from Reda in the way everything was set up with precision and thoughtfulness. There were a few issues that popped up and I could see all the ways Reda went out of his way to try to fix it and make it right for us. He really went above and beyond to make it a special time. We highly recommend him and are so very thankful for all his hard work in making our day amazing!

OMI is a great venue, from structurally, to gorgeous ballroom, to beautiful grounds to incredibly professional and accommodating staff. My Sales Director was Lindsay and Banquet Manager was Reda. Reda was on top of everything, there was nothing he couldn’t do, all he wanted me to do was for me to enjoy the yay! Our wedding was magical at the OMI. All their preferred vendors were masters of their respective crafts. We hosted the ceremony in the courtyard, reception in the ballroom and farewell brunch in the Grain House. We had about 50 rooms and ended up extending the bar…everything exceeded our expectations…understated elegance with a sprinkle of rustic flair. I would HIGHLY recommend the Olde Mill Inn!!!

We recently had our wedding at the Olde Mill Inn and Grain House and it was better than we could have imagined. We had a small, intimate wedding and they had an awesome package with a bunch of enhancements so that our guests could have the most amazing experience. The food was spectacular , the staff was super helpful and friendly and the venue was so beautiful. Our guests were raving about the food all night! John was our Maitre d’ and he was the absolute best. He was super responsive in the months leading up to our wedding and was on top of everything day of. Our day went perfectly and without issue all thanks to him. Him and the staff did a great job setting up all of our decor the way we wanted it and they put everything in our room by the end of the night. We didn’t have to do a thing - they completely took care of everything! The venue is also super convenient and has everything you and your guests could need with onsite bridal suites, ceremony, after party and lodging space. We could not have picked a better venue to get married and 1000% recommend this place for any special occasion.

We recently had our wedding at the Grain House. We booked with Lea who was super attentive, thorough and on top of everything. We felt reassured from day one working with her. The venue was absolutely stunning. There's a beautiful tent and gazebo outside for the ceremony and really pretty rooms for cocktail hour and the reception inside. After working with Lea initially we were then connected with our maitre d' David who was amazing. David was super detailed, knowledgeable, patient, and available to answer any questions every step of the way. Our wedding ran so smoothly and everyone had such a great time and David was no doubt a huge reason why. He even set aside plenty of food for us from cocktail hour so we didn't miss out on any of the wonderful selections. We are super grateful to him for such a wonderful and unforgettable night!

We got married here in May of this year and had a wonderful experience!! We booked with Lea and had Reda as our Maitre D as the event got closer. Both were wonderful throughout the entire process. They were very attentive and helpful and quick to respond to any emails or questions we may have had. The venue is great, we have family and friends from out of state, so we loved having the hotel attached. We cannot say enough good things about this venue!

Myself and my husband had to do nothing but show up the day of. Reda provided us with impeccable service, he made sure to touch base with us throughout the process and he made it very seamless. We are beyond grateful to have booked our wedding with the Olde Mill Inn but more importantly we are extremely pleased to have Reda be our Maitre'D. Highly highly highly recommend.

I’m so glad that my husband and I picked the olde mill inn for our special day. We wanted an intimate cozy space but I still wanted elegance and great food and service. This place delivered. Right from the start their sales manager Kate was so kind and professional. She got back to me right away after I inquired on the knot was super helpful throughout the entire process. She checked in with me multiple times and answered any and all questions quickly. The grounds are beautiful the hotel is lovely and the staff is warm and on top of everything. It’s such a convenient venue because everything is right there. No need for shuttle service or having to go from one place to another. It was so convenient for us and our guests. We had our rehearsal dinner there and our after wedding brunch there. We had a lot of out of town guests so I wanted to make sure that all of the activities were super easy for my guests to attend. The whole weekend was so relaxing and fun. Leading up to the day was so great too. They offered great recommendations for vendors and lots of advice and tips. They also have a wedding fest which was super fun. It was nice to be able to taste the food before hand. We ended up meeting a great cigar rolling vendor there that made the night extra fun. The accommodations for the bride and groom day of are also so nice. My husband had the Dayton suite to himself and all his friends and family to get ready in and hangout in the day of. I had the bridal lounge right onsite which was so nice and again convenient. I know. I’ve written that word a lot but thats the word that keeps coming to mind when I think about how smoothly the day went. The one thing that I didn’t know I needed until they told me I was going to have one was a Maitre D. We had David and he was FANTASTIC.
So calm and friendly and funny too! He took care of everything the day of. I didn’t need to stress about anything at all. He handled timelines vendors food everything. He also just made me feel so comfortable and relaxed and taken care of in the last months leading up to the big day and the day of. I didn’t feel stressed at all that day. I just felt content and overjoyed the whole day. That was because of this place and the people that work there. I can’t recommend this place enough.

My husband and I had our cocktail hour and reception this past Sunday, June 30th at the Grain House at The Olde Mill Inn and had the best day of our lives! Even with a rain storm moving the dance floor from outside to inside and taking photos under the tent, the OMI was on top of everything! I might be biased, but it was the best wedding I've ever been to. Everyone keeps raving about the food and the venue, it was a perfect day! John, our Maitre D', was absolutely fantastic and made our vision come to life. We had the Grain House at maximum capacity with 120 guests, so it was a little tight since the dance floor ended up inside, but it was still SO much fun! We would HIGHLY recommend the OMI as your wedding venue and only hope that we can attend one as guests one day!!!

We just had our wedding here May 18th 2024 and I am overwhelmed by all of our guests reaching out to tell us how amazing everything was. People keep telling us it was the best wedding they have ever been to. The venue itself was nothing short of magical. We chose to hold both our ceremony and reception at the Old Mill Inn, and it was a fantastic decision. Bonus, we had our Rehearsal Dinner, Welcome party and After party at the Grain House, which was also perfect and so convenient especially for our many out of town guests.
From day one we knew this was our venue. Lea from the sales team was absolutely amazing to work with. She was patient kind professional, and very thorough. When we went to a tasting, I had met David one of the Maitre’D’s I connected with him instantly and was hoping he would be ours. We got lucky and he was assigned to us. Our heartfelt thanks go to the entire team, and especially to David, for making our special day an unforgettable, picture-perfect experience. David set up the reception/ceremony area better than I could’ve envisioned. I allowed him to set everything up and use what he felt was best and not use what he didn’t think would fit the romantic feel that I wanted to project. David truly went above and beyond, and his attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our day was flawless was nothing short of remarkable. He was not just a Matre D; he was an indispensable part of making our wedding day unforgettable. Since the wedding, David has reached out a couple of times after the wedding to check in which shows what a class act he is and this venue is. We also had the pleasure of working with Reda and our rehearsal dinner. He was attentive and amazing as well. THANK YOU to the Olde Mill Inn for giving us the wedding of our dreams! From start to finish, it was an extraordinary experience.

We got married at the Olde Mill Inn yesterday and we are so impressed with every little thing! From the initial contracting process with Lindsay to our menu planning and event coordinating with our Maitre D, Marien, every single step was easy and we felt so cared for by everyone. The staff are all incredible and so helpful. Our guests were blown away by everything, especially the food (and we were, too)! The food was one of the most important things to us and it was better than we could’ve even imagined!!
Marien made our planning process so easy and was so communicative and thorough. She made us feel like family, and took such good care of us the whole time. If you’re planning your wedding here and you’re lucky enough to work with Marien, your day will be nothing short of perfection.
If we had to do it all over again, we’d choose the Olde Mill Inn a million times!

All of our guests raved about how amazing the food was, the beauty of the venue, and how sweet the staff was. I can not recommend this venue enough. They made sure our wedding was everything we wanted and more.

Where do I even begin? We got married at the Grain House at the Olde Mill Inn on May 23, 2024, and it was nothing short of perfect. The entire wedding planning process was made easy thanks to everyone at the OldMill Inn and Grain House. They are very responsive, which is crucial when planning a wedding. My grandmother and grandfather had their wedding reception here back in 1957, so I knew I wanted to meet with them to discuss having my wedding there. It was the first and only venue we met with. After going on a tour and discussing the different packages with Lea, I was sold. They take care of your accommodations, catering, bar, cake, tables, chairs, etc. My wedding planning “to-do” list was cut in half! Everyone is so accommodating and they really work with you to make sure your day goes perfectly. So many guests told us how they never experienced wedding food to this level. Everything was DELICIOUS! Better yet, we actually got to eat as the bride and groom. The property itself is gorgeous. John was our Matre d’ and he was the best! He made sure we stayed on time, he ran food from the cocktail hour to me and my husband when we were taking photos, and he coordinated with our vendors so we didn’t have to worry. His efforts did not go unnoticed. Once again I had guests come up to me and tell me how amazing he is. I also had guests reach out after to tell me it was the best wedding they have ever been to. All of our vendors were fantastic but the Old Mill Inn and Grain House really did the bulk of the work to make it an unforgettable experience. The hotel itself was wonderful to stay in, everything was so clean and the breakfast was delicious. I wouldn’t change a thing about my wedding day, everything was perfect and I really have the Old Mill Inn and the Grain House to thank for that. I would recommend the Old Mill Inn and the GrainHouse to anyone planning a wedding. It really is the ONLY choice in my opinion. You will not be disappointed.

My husband and I got married at the Grain House April 6 and I cannot recommend it enough! Everything about the experience was positive and easy, from the moment we met with Lea, until we gave John a big hug at the end of the night. My guests were blown away by the amount and quality of the food! John was more than I could ask for in a maitre d'! He took care of us like family, and made the ceremony run smoothly and the reception room look absolutely beautiful. It was the best day! My hairstylist told me she got married at Grain House over 20 years ago, and John was her maitre 'd as well! So he's been doing this awhile! Everything was just perfect, and having the hotel right next door was a huge advantage. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Our ceremony took place in the courtyard, and it was magical! The food was delicious, and our Maitre'D was very helpful throughout our entire wedding process! He made the whole day run so smoothly for us and our bridal party. The staff was also so wonderful and accommodating! We can't wait to come back for our 1 year anniversary to celebrate at the Grain House! We would highly recommend this wedding venue for any future brides and grooms!

We had our wedding in the ballroom. We felt so cared for and truly felt like we were of the highest importance for the entire duration of the wedding process. John was such a caring and proactive maitre d. He was always available and willing to help with any questions or concerns we had at ANY time. We got married on a Friday, so we had our rehearsal at the Grain House, which was fantastic. We had our own room and the food was excellent. I stayed over Thursday night and had my bridal party get ready in the bridal suite the next morning, which I highly recommend because it is so spacious and made for a fun and relaxing atmosphere. It was also great for getting ready pictures!! I let the groomsmen have the Sawyer room, which was perfect for them to hang out and do whatever groomsmen do. This is such a spectacular venue! It will not disappoint!

We had our wedding at the Grain House Restaurant this past fall and it was perfect! Our contact was Lea and she gracefully answered all of our random questions before meeting our maitre'd. The food was great-all of our guests kept complimenting it! The reception space and outdoor scenery was beautiful. Our maitre'd David was spectacular! He guided us through everything and made it feel so easy! The staff helped set up everything day of and it looked perfect! Such a great place to have our special day and a fantastic group of people to work with!

If you are thinking about having your wedding at the Olde Mill Inn, do it! We had our ceremony and reception in the ballroom in September and everyone is still raving about it! From the initial tour to our wedding day, Lindsey was super responsive, answered all my questions and made the whole process seamless. After we decided on the Olde Mill Inn, we attended one of the Wedding Shows they hold, and that was a nice way for us to see the space set up and meet some vendors!
For our food tasting we opted to bring our fathers along, and it was great decision, they gave us so much food that it was nice to have other opinions on it! It also allowed our dads to feel apart of our planning process! During the food tasting all the maître ’ds walk around and interact with you, immediately David stuck out to us, so we requested to have him as our Maitre’ d. We are so happy we did that as he went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect! At our meeting with him, he was so thorough and answered all our questions, he didn’t rush us to make any decisions and gave us an opinion when we were stuck! During our rehearsal, he went over all our décor and ensured that he understood exactly what we would like! He was so thorough with the rehearsal and he made sure the whole party understood what was needed! Day of, he was there bright and early, checked in on us throughout the day, made sure all our vendors were okay and organized our chaotic crew! He made sure my husband and I ate, were hydrated and was there for all our needs! He set all our decorations up exactly how we envisioned! David continually checked in on all our immediate family members and got them whatever they needed! At the end of the night, he packed all our stuff up and brought it to our suite! He even had the suite cleaned after the guys got ready in it! David truly made our day so special and took so much stress off of us! David has also kept in touch with us post wedding!
Now for the food, everything was delicious! We got a sandwich platter during the day for both the bridesmaids and groomsmen to eat and there was so many different options and all were delicious! During cocktail hour, everywhere you looked there was food! They are super conscience of allergies and make sure those with allergies are aware and taken care of! As for dinner, the servings were a nice size and everyone is raving about it! We did a super simple cake from Calandra’s and it was delicious! At the end of the night most of the cocktail hour food, entrees and a cake were put into our suite, which was super thoughtful!
All in all we are so happy we chose the Olde Mill Inn and would highly recommend them to everyone!

David took excellent care of us before and on our wedding day. He was constantly checking in on us asking what we needed and letting us know what to expect next. And the staff at Olde Mill inn were nothing short of the best. Everyone loved the food, especially the pumpkin ravioli. David went above and beyond for us and I'm so happy we got him as our maitre' d.

Just got married on 11/12/23 in the Ball Room. Hands down the best day of our lives. We had David as our maître d who was absolutely phenomenal! He made my husband and I feel very at ease with the whole process and walked us through every step of the way both on and off the venue. Would highly recommend the Venue and David. We were sold on the venue and its packages by Lea! She was another delight to work with!! All in all our experience was wonderful! We felt like everything was at our fingertips… the rehearsal dinner venue to the guest rooms for our wedding guests to stay in!

We had our wedding at the Olde Mill Inn last week and it was amazing! We loved having everything in one location, the food was fantastic and the service was awesome. From having our rehearsal in the grain house to the brunch the next morning, everything was great. The bridal suite is huge and we were able to use the sawyer room for the groomsmen to get ready.

My husband and I had the pleasure of hosting our micro-wedding at the Old Mill Inn in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, on October 19th, and I can't emphasize enough just how perfect our day was. From start to finish, it was an extraordinary experience.
First and foremost, finding a venue that offered a perfect setting for micro-weddings (under 50 people) at such an affordable price was a dream come true. The per-plate prices were exceptionally reasonable, and the fact that they included an open bar was a fantastic bonus. The venue itself was nothing short of magical.
We chose to hold both our ceremony and reception at the Old Mill Inn, and it was a fantastic decision. The outdoor setup for the ceremony, by the gazebo and near the river, was absolutely perfect. The serene backdrop of the river also provided stunning opportunities for our wedding photos. The attention to detail and the accommodations provided for the ceremony setup exceeded our expectations.
For our reception, we opted for an indoor setting, and the setup was impeccable. The dance floor and bar area created a lively atmosphere, and the Old Mill Inn had thoughtfully taken care of every detail, from table arrangements to centerpieces, if desired. The food was delicious, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it.
One feature that stood out was the availability of two rooms above the reception area for parties to get ready in. My bridesmaids and I spent the entire day there, from hair and makeup preparations to the moment our ceremony began. The convenience and comfort of these rooms were unparalleled.
Planning a New Jersey wedding all the way from California made us a bit nervous, but the Old Mill Inn made it incredibly easy for us. They were responsive and accommodating every step of the way.
Now, I must give special recognition to our Matre D, Reda. From the very beginning of the planning process, he stayed in close communication with us, addressing our questions and ensuring he had all the necessary details. On top of all that, he took our guest book, card box, centerpieces the day prior and with little to no instruction was able to create a beautiful ambiance using our stuff. Reda's updates throughout the day kept us informed and stress-free, as he took care of all vendor communication, allowing us to focus on getting ready and savoring the moment.
Our wedding day at the Old Mill Inn was nothing short of perfect and seamless. I couldn't stop talking about how wonderful everything was. If we ever find ourselves on the East Coast again, planning another event, the Old Mill Inn will undoubtedly be our first choice. Our heartfelt thanks go to the entire team, and especially to Reda, for making our special day an unforgettable, picture-perfect experience. Reda truly went above and beyond, and his attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our day was flawless was nothing short of remarkable. He was not just a Matre D; he was an indispensable part of making our wedding day unforgettable.

There is so much we can say about our venue! From the first visit, everyone was so welcoming and helpful. We first met with Lindsay, who is so sweet and gave us a full tour of the venue. She also answered all the questions we had and was so helpful finding our October date. Our maitre D was David and he was amazing! He helped us from the first day we met, until the very end. He made sure we were taken care of, made sure we ate, everything was good with the decorations, and overall made sure we were enjoying ourselves!! We even had an after party which he made sure was what we wanted as well. Olde Mill Inn has been in great communication with us, whether it’s phone, email, or text. Our guests also loved how convenient it was just staying there all weekend. And the positive comments on the food still continue! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

We just had our wedding reception of 70 people at the Grain House at the Olde Mill Inn. This historic property is lovely, both inside and out (had an outdoor ceremony on 10/15). The staff is both pleasant and extremely professional. Our personal banquet manager/maitre d', Reda, consistently gave 110% to make sure our day went smoothly. And the food was five stars all the way - every single hors d'oeuvre right through three delicious entree choices and high quality drinks. This venue was not only a lovely place to have our wedding, we also believe it was an incredible value in today's wedding venue market. Thank you Reda and Olde Mill Inn!

I don’t even know where to begin - Olde Mill Inn exceeded every dream. It was the first venue we looked at and immediately had the “this is it” feeling. None of it would have been possible without the help from the team there. They immediately solidified it all for us. Lea was incredible from the very beginning until the very end. She answered every and all ridiculous call and email, and I hope she will always know how grateful I am for her. David was an absolute delight to work with. He was our right hand man and before we even were paired up with him we had hoped we would be. He was so attentive, understanding, receptive, and a genuine human being. I would recommend the Olde Mill Inn and their team to anybody! Thank you guys for giving us the best day, and the most incredible moments leading up to it. See you all soon!

There is nothing I'm more sure of than recommending the Olde Mill Inn for your wedding. From the moment I visited to my wedding day it was truly an easy and beautiful process. For starters it was important for us to have hotel accommodations close as majority of our guests traveling for our wedding and nothing is closer than inside the venue. The room block prices were very affordable, the rooms are beautiful, and OMI are flexible with you if you need more rooms for your block. Communication throughout the planning process was amazing, any question I had my sales person and Matire'd answered within hours (shoutout John and Lea)! The food is incredible and their packages and add-ons offer a variety of different types of foods. Leading up to the wedding (when anxiety levels are at the highest), John (my matire'd) worked with me to accommodate any and all decor drop off, changes, and questions. The day of was perfect from start to finish. The room where the bride and bridesmaids get ready is so big with a bathroom within steps. There are two stations with mirrors and chairs for hair and make-up, but we were actually able to set up three with the amount of room and stylists we had. The entire day John was attentive to me while handling all of the different vendors coming in and out. He also made sure my husband and I and our families constantly had food and drinks in our hands. We also had our wedding in September which enabled us to utilize the courtyard directly outside our cocktail and reception area. The ballroom was set up exactly how I imagined and the service throughout the wedding was impeccable. I truly could not recommend the Olde Mill Inn more if I tried.

My wife and I recently had our wedding at the Grain House. Our wedding was on the smaller side (less than 75 guests) and we didn't feel as cared for as a larger wedding would be.
It ended up raining on the day of our wedding (good luck I'm told!) but we were ok with it since there are so many places inside to take pictures anyway. However, they were extremely overbooked and the Grain house was completely filled with events so there was no where to take pictures there. When we tried to take pictures in the hotel, we were repeatedly told "no" because apparently the larger wedding in the ballroom took precedence over our wedding. Our photographer had to take most of the pictures in our hotel room and just wait until the other events cleared at the Grain House.
The real issue I had was with the maître d' who seemed a little annoyed the whole night and just wanted to get us in and out. When we sat down to pick food options with him, prices had gone up since we signed the contract the previous year. He said he was "doing us a favor" by honoring the older price. From that point on, he made sure to tell us just about every time he saw us how much his "suggested" tip was. Surely I would have considered at least getting close to it (it's a comically large number) if we thought the maître d' performed above and beyond, but that was certainly not the case. He did the usual duties that a maître d' does, but pretended as if he was moving heaven and earth for us. The waitstaff had to even picked up some of his slack and was fluffing my wife's dress before she processed for the ceremony. Various parts of the day no one could even find him, it's almost like he was managing the other events as well...
Since it was raining and we couldn't have the ceremony at the gazebo, we opted to have it under the tent. The maître d' kept asking my wife and I separately if it could be moved inside, like a kid trying to get a different response out of a parent. Unfortunately for him we're both very much on the same page and persisted that we wanted it under the tent. Annoyed, and well aware that it was a cooler night, he made absolutely no effort to bring out any type of heaters for the guests. When we booked the Grain House, we were told if the weather was nice there would be seasonal beverages offered to guests while they waited for the ceremony. After being annoyed that we were going under the tent, nothing at all was provided for the guests.
The waitstaff on the other hand was absolutely 10/10 and was super attentive! We received SO many compliments on the quality and amount of food so compliments to them and the chef! The only ding on the food was one of the stations for cocktail hour that we added and paid extra for said that it came with sangria which ended up not being served.
The front desk at the hotel was a mess, they were telling guests that rooms weren't booked when in fact they were. Most of the wedding party was booked in the same section of the hotel, except for the man of honor who was booked on the complete opposite side of the hotel. The maître d' from another wedding LET HIMSELF IN to our suite the night before our wedding while we were in there and getting ready to turn in for the night.
Overall, we were not disappointed that we had our wedding here, it was a wonderful day; but I would be very skeptical to recommend this venue to others to have a small wedding.

Dear Stephen,
It was a pleasure speaking with you earlier. I am glad that we were able to...
better understand your review. We are delighted to hear that you were thrilled with the food, service, and overall venue during your wedding day. While we know rain is not what you wished for, we are happy to know that you did get a chance to take pictures in the hotel. We do have a policy regarding photography on the grounds, as stated by our Sales Managers and Contract, to provide exclusivity to each wedding couple as we do have two separate venues on the property. We realize that communication is key and we will be better prepared for our next rainy day with additional indoor photo options.
As we discussed by phone regarding the Maître D’, they do go over the contract billing and do make mention of the suggested Maître D’ gratuity. To our knowledge that was stated only one time to you during final detailing. As for fluffing dresses, we always have a female Captain or designated staff member handle that task. During the day, the Maître D’ is setting up your room, the tables, candles, lighting, and going through the timeline & details with the kitchen, vendors, and staff. For the staff to deliver the service you so kindly complimented us on, the Maître D’ must coordinate most all of that.
We also discussed that on rainy days our Maître D’ will check with both Bride and Groom as weather changes throughout the day. If heavy rain occurs it’s best to move things inside, but outdoor ceremonies are always preferable to us and we would never try to convince you otherwise. Your seasonal beverage station was set up under the tent by the ceremony and we are sorry if you overlooked it. As for direction, it seemed you would have preferred some of the set-up decisions for the day to have been made by the Maître’ D instead of asking how you might prefer things. Some couples prefer to be included in setup decisions, others would like the maître d to use their judgement and experience to decide what’s best, I apologize we fell short in understanding your preferences.
We truly apologize for any confusion with the hotel front desk. We are a smaller hotel, and it is not possible to have your entire wedding party on the same floor, but we do try our best to keep groups together. When guests ask for a specific room type, we try to ensure they get the bed type they want over the location in the building. It is best that couples tell us if a specific guest will need to be located near their room.
We know that it was a very special day for you, and we strive to make it a memorable day for everyone who books with us. Our Maître d and our entire staff worked very hard to make your day perfect, rain or shine. We are always open to feedback, and we appreciate your attention to detail in providing constructive criticism. We were happy to hear directly from you how satisfied you were with both our food and service that day and we wish you nothing but the best in the years to come.
Warmest Regards,
The Olde Mill Inn and Grain House

We got married on October 1st at the Grain House. The venue/restaurant itself sets the stage for a beautiful event, and the team sets the stage for an absolutely incredible time. The food as well is soooooo good. Our Maitre D was John L. - this man is wonderful. He has bounds of energy to complement his years of experience. He deeply cares about his couples and their day. To John and the Olde Mill Inn team, THANK YOU!!

The BEST day/night of our lives! Our wedding on 9/1/23 at the Grain House @ The Olde Mill Inn was perfect! Our maitre'd John was amazing! The booking process was so easy and smooth. The Grain House is a short walk across the parking lot from the hotel and it was very convenient for all the guests we had staying the night. Everyone at the venue is very responsive to all messages throughtout the whole process. The food for the rehearsal dinner and wedding night was delicious! After the ceremony one of the waitresses made sure we went into the reception space to eat some food and have time alone together before going up to cocktail hour. We always had a drink waiting for us at our table as well! The bridal suites are absolutely stunning and so spacious to get ready in. This also was the only venue we looked at, and instantly fell in love. Thank you to everyone involved for making our day so special! We cannot wait to come back for our anniversary!

The loveliest venue for the best day!! I always knew that when I got married, I wanted a very specific 'family reunion' feeling for my wedding: I wanted the hotel and ballroom in the same location so guests could check in, get ready, celebrate with us, go back to their rooms, and have breakfast the next day all in one place, all together. There are surprisingly not that many venues in NJ to offer these type of accommodations, and I found recommendations for the Olde Mill Inn quickly when researching venues with hotel rooms attached. We went to tour and fell in love with the feeling we got there: the OMI is quaint, charming, and warm. The staff: Lea, our booking coordinator, and Reda, our maitre'd, were extremely responsive to every question and request we had throughout the entire planning process. We met with Reda a few months before our big day and really appreciated his concern and attentiveness to the food allergies and restrictions of some of our guests, something that was extremely important to us. On the day of our wedding, he was so attentive and made sure we were never without food or a drink. Even though we had plenty to eat during our cocktail hour thanks to him, he made sure to wrap extra food up for us to enjoy in our honeymoon suite that night after the party was over. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and what a great experience they had. Our wedding was absolutely perfect, and I can't imagine having had it anywhere else! The Olde Mill Inn gave us the exact feeling we wanted for our wedding day: a place where family and friends could be together and feel surrounded by warmth and love!

We are SO grateful and appreciative of all the hard work our Maitre D', John, and the team at the Olde Mill Inn put into our wedding on 7/21/23. This was one of very few venues in NJ that had the hotel attached to the reception venue in one location which was great for us as we had a lot of family and friends coming in from out of town. Having the ease of this made the entire day of the wedding flow smoothly which it took a huge weight off our shoulders. The wait staff at the venue were so hospitable and genuinely kind that we chose this venue after attending another wedding here a year prior! Our guests raved about the food and beverages at the venue, which says a lot as we had nearly 200 guests to take care of. We can't wait to come back to this venue as guests again in the future!

Our wedding here was completely perfect. It's such a beautiful location, the accommodations were very comfortable, and everything day of felt so special. David was our Maitre D and he honestly couldn't have been better. He took care of everything, including even sending me a special iced coffee while I was getting ready. All of our guests kept telling us how great the food was, even months later. It really was delicious! The peace of mind with having David on top of everything and so much included with the venue made the whole planning experience so smooth and minimally stressful. I strongly recommend the Olde Mill Inn!

There are no words to describe how wonderful they were to work with throughout the entire process. When researching venues, it was important to us to find somewhere that was able to accommodate smaller weddings, while also having the aesthetic we wanted. The Grain House was SUCH an incredible find! We love historic charm, so the fact that this restaurant/venue was from colonial times was the best touch. It’s of course restored, but when you’re inside you still get that historic charm and feel that we fell in love with. Another major bonus is that the hotel is ON SITE!!! The fact that all of our guests who wanted to stay overnight only had to walk 50 feet to the hotel was such an incredible bonus! Highly recommend looking into a venue with on-site accommodations, everyone really appreciated that. We would recommend The Grain House/OMI a billion times over! David the Maitre'D was absolutely phenomenal -- so attentive and was there to answer any question we had! 10000/10!

We got married at the Olde Mill Inn this past weekend. All we can say is WOW. We haven't been to a wedding before where so many guests were complimenting the wedding during the actual wedding. David was our Maitre d' and he made the day run smoothly and was a great communicator. He helped throughout the whole process - from planning to the rehearsal to the wedding day. He made everything so easy. He was always checking in/answering our questions right away.
We are still getting rave reviews from guests--everything from the food to the cocktails to how everything flowed. It's also very accessible--guests can book a room to stay overnight right at the venue which is a unique feature. Our guests appreciated how easy everything was for them. We had fewer guests than originally expected but they set up the ballroom in a way that made it feel like we had double the amount of people.
If you want to have a wedding that feels special and personalized definitely get married at the Olde Mill Inn. It's not like a typical wedding factory where they move you in and out. They make you feel really special and make it an event to remember. Multiple family members and friends have told me we'll be talking about our wedding for years to come.

The Olde Mill Inn was the PERFECT wedding venue for us! It is a cozy space and has everything you need for a seamless wedding. We worked closely with Lindsay, who gave us the first tour of the entire venue and helped us book our contract. She was incredibly kind and was always there to answer any and all questions that we had. Closer to the wedding day, we worked with our Maître D, David, who was outstanding! David took the time to go over every single detail of our wedding day and made sure that the day ran smoothly and that all of our ideas came to life. Not only was he extremely helpful to my husband and I, but he also made sure that all of our family, friends and wedding vendors were happy and comfortable throughout the day. He was so patient with us and we truly appreciate all of his guidance and expertise. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that is cozy, has DELICIOUS food and wonderful staff members: this is the place for you!

The Olde Mill Inn left us completely amazed and satisfied with EVERY aspect of the entire process and our entire wedding weekend. One of the things I loved about them is that many venues in NJ require guest minimums and the OMI was one of the only venues that has an F&B minimum (varies depending on season and day of week) -- but you are never having to guarantee a number - you can just actually get more food/alcohol and add ons to make up for it if you are short. We did have a Sat night wedding in April and met the minimum with 150 guests.
The venue itself is gorgeous when it is set up - so don't judge it on the bare bones that you see when you visit - look at pictures of it set up and its quaint, romantic and intimate.
Definitely go to the tasting - it helped us make some important choices. I am 100% italian as is most of my family. We are VERY critical of food and everyone remarked about the food and how great it was - the cocktail hour offers so much variety and the entrees are delicious. The mini dessert plate was also a huge hit.
But what truly is the shining star with the OMI is the personal touch of every single member of the staff. Lindsay, our first contact was incredible and helpful at getting us set up with our date and initial details. Our maitre d David was OUTSTANDING --- he is super hands on, responsive and provides a level of service that is truly remarkable. I also had an amazing wedding planner but David was key in making the venue-related execution pieces happen. He is great at corralling people and creating a friendly atmosphere. The staff -- every single person we interacted with from servers to the front desk to maintenance was helpful, kind, gracious and responsive.
If you are a person like me who cares a lot about the comfort of your guests - I cannot say enough about how much easier it is to have lodging with the venue...especially for kids and older people. You save money on transportation and shuttles and its just such a convenience for guests.
The Olde Mill Inn provided us the support, quality and service to have the wedding of our dreams and we can't say enough about it!

From the moment we stepped foot at the Olde Mill Inn we were welcomed as if we were family. Lea welcomed us and fully explained everything that would be included and available dates and made the process so simple. She walked us through and kept in touch with us and introduced us to our Maitre d' (David). David was a dream to work with, he kept in close contact all the way until our wedding day. he went above and beyond, especially on the actual wedding day. He made our experience extraordinary and took care of our parents and grandparents throughout the whole night including us. He made our wedding day a dream!! I will forever be grateful to Lea,. Dave, .and the Olde Mill Inn for going above and beyond to make our dream come true.
