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

Carmen and I want to personally thank Sue & Tyler from the Mill Lakeside Manor for a spectacular Wedding. They are not just our wedding vendor they are our family. We spent 2 glorious years making our plans turn into a Cinderella story. Susan our coordinator with her devotion to making sure all of our questions and needs were addressed and fulfilled. Tyler our Maitre D who without question orchestrated a flawless wedding event. Susan went the extra mile and let Carmen & I practice our choreograph first dance at the Mills when needed. Trust me, if it wasn't for getting the actual feel of their amazing dance floor, I don't think we would have pulled it off. Tyler always made sure want we requested & needed was fulfilled to the fullness. There wasn't one guest that didn't express their amazement of our wedding day and gave it a 10 rating. Well there was one they gave us a 9.9 rating which is funny. That couple is never 100% no matter where we go LOL! Please don't be intimidated by the beauty and elegance of the Mills Lakeside Manor. When it comes to it, everyone there treats you with the kindness and respect you get from a ma & pop store! Susan, Tyler & staff we love you guys for making our dreams come true!! Belinda & Carmen

Recently had our wedding there and it was absolutely perfect!! I couldn’t have asked for a better venue to host our wedding! They make the whole process leading up to your big day very smoothly! All the staff there is incredibly nice, friendly, etc. Susan was the best coordinator! She was always there when I had last minute questions or even if I just needed ideas for decorations! Tyler, our matre d, was also there the whole night of our wedding and made sure we had everything we needed and would always check in on us! Anything we needed he would attend to it immediately! Also, the food was amazing!! Everything was so good! I would highly recommend having your wedding here!! You will not be disappointed?

Beautiful venue, the cocktail hour with variety of stations was outstanding and dinner did not disappoint. The white glove service and attention to detail was at its best. The outdoor patio, pond with swans and abundance of flowering landscaping is a stunning setting, and added to a very memorable wedding!

Played a gig for a wedding here on 3/3/24 with my band. The staff was very friendly and professional. The food was delicious. The view of the lake is wonderful. All the guests seemed to be having a great time.

Impressed with venue for wedding. Beautiful interior. Impressed with foxtail hour with many stations and passed around food. Dinner was good and good bar service. Plenty of parking . No valet . Added bonus of coat check.

The Mill lived up to the hype. The SERVICE, the FOOD, the DRINKS, the ATMOSPHERE. Unbelievable. The amount of guests that keep calling us raving about The Mill and the service/food is crazy! They LOVED it. So many guests said “best wedding they have ever been to”. Susan (Sue) at The Mill, our coordinator was FANTASTIC. So responsive, so sweet, and truly sold us on the place. Maryann our maître d’ was so hysterical, so fun, so attentive, and was always there when we needed her. Everything about The Mill is truly perfection, they are a well oiled machine and know how to throw an exceptional wedding. The Mill is hands-down the best venue in NJ.

I can't put into words how amazing our wedding day was and it was all due to the incredible staff at The Mill. From the moment we walked in, we fell in love with the venue and the kindness of the staff ! They answered every call and every email and helped with every question we had throughout the wedding planning year. Everything was taken care of, EVERYTHING ! They care so much for their brides and grooms and the guests ! So many of our guests commented on the amazing food and the staff and how wonderful they were ! Special shout out to Susan, who we worked with throughout the year and Richard and Devon who took care of my husband and I all night ! I would give The Mill 20 stars if I could ! Thank you for making our dreams come true and our wedding the best day we could ask for !!!!!!

I attended a wedding a couple weeks ago and I witnessed something that didn’t sit well with me. I was seating near one of the doors next to the kitchen and I heard the bridal attendant yell nastily at some servers. It was really unprofessional to see and upset me that some employees have to go through verbal mistreatment at work. A similar incident occurred later in the night with the same bridal attendant and another female server where she was told to “shut up”. The venue is such a beautiful and elegant place that such attitude and disrespect brings the environment down during an important day for two amazing people and their families.
