Michelle was great. The Mill Lakeside Manor was our first venue that we looked at and it set the bar very high. We went to visit 6 other places and none of them could measure up to The Mill standards. Pricing is a little high but they include a lot as well. If you are looking for a nice quiet area with beautiful lake, add The Mill to your list of venues to visit. (Note that our wedding is in 2021 so this review is based solely on our 2 tours with Michelle and signing the contract to book the venue.)

This could have been the right venue for us, but they didn’t have dates close to what we wanted.

I can not say enough good things about the Mill and I think my Husband would agree. From the staff to the food and just very single thing about them is perfect. We couldn't have chose a better venue!

My husband and I can’t say enough good things about The Mill! We looked at over 20 venues and when we went back a 2nd time, we knew that this was the best one! Liz took us for a tour for the first time and was so helpful in explaining everything and answering all of our questions. When we went back a 2nd time with our parents, Beau was so kind in answering more questions for us and letting us see everything The Mill had to offer without rushing us through another tour! We fell in love with The Mill before the renovations were complete and even though it was beautiful before, it looked AMAZING after! The space downstairs for cocktail hour is spacious and includes so many seats for people to sit as well as a nice outdoor area that is covered so you can spend time out there as well by the lake! The windows upstairs give you a beautiful view of the lake with so much natural light. The landscaping outside was beautiful so even though we had our ceremony at a church, we took lots of pictur... Read morees on site outside. The bridal suite is gorgeous and they even have a groom’s suite as well! Also, be sure to feed the swans! We did that every time we visited and I have a few favorite wedding day pictures on the dock feeding them! The cocktail hour is like nothing we’ve ever seen and our guests are still talking about not only the amount of food but the quality of food as well! The amount of options available is nothing like what you will see in other places. We only wish we weren’t so busy talking to everyone so that we could have enjoyed more of the food! They also offer a variety of dinner options and even walk around giving guests the option to have a 2nd portion! We were so thankful that they offered a food tasting so we could try out everything before selecting our menu. It was a tough decision though because everything tasted so good! They packed up our desserts since we were too busy to eat them and the peanut butter explosion is definitely one of the best desserts I’ve ever eaten! The service at The Mill is also something that is truly special. Beau was our Maitre D and was amazing! He was right there with us checking in and making my husband and I as well as our families feel so special and taken care of. The servers were so kind and thoughtful for everyone there as well. I don’t remember going to a wedding where so many guests talked about the staff and how genuinely happy they seemed to be there! The Mill thought of every detail and helped us along the way to make it such an easy process. You can tell that they take a lot of pride in providing you with the best service and we are so thankful for that! They were even willing to take a rowboat out on the lake in the middle of the reception to fix the broken water fountain! Thank you to Beau, Liz, Allison, Heidi, and the rest of the staff at The Mill for making our June 2019 wedding the best day ever!! I would HIGHLY recommend The Mill to anyone- you will not be disappointed!!

The Mill in Spring Lake, NJ made our day just perfect. The food, staff, and ambiance were outstanding! We recommend The Mill without hesitation.

The Mill Lakeside Manor is just the perfect venue with the perfect team to help make your special day simply perfect (ours was 8/17/19). My wife & I searched all throughout the northern half of the Jersey Shore, from LBI on up and the Mill was just the perfect combination of venue, service, location and cost. The team was incredible to work with, with first class service from the day we toured the facility. And when we were confused and got lost on The many choices you need to make, the team at the Mill was great in taking the time to explain things to us, talk about different options and what other happy couples have done. They were flexible with timing, menu choices and even the day before planning/storage. They worked easily with our vendors to arrange their setups and everything. As you might expect, given its a north jersey wedding, there was a lot of food - but oh my, there was even more than expected, and it was all incredible. Our family & friends are still talking about it.... Read more The best food they have ever had at a wedding and also the most food (and that's before the dinner!). The tasting itself was quite the event and something we really enjoyed. On the day of, everything was so seamless, I'm not sure my wife or I had any worry about things not going to plan, or things we had to handle. The prep work with the team at the Mill was easy to follow and during the day of, the team was ever-present but at the same time always in the background not taking away from our special day. Even our guests commented how helpful and friendly the staff were which made the day extra special for everyone. Go with the Mill! You won't be disappointed!

We can’t say enough great things about The Mill as a wedding venue. We went to look at it when they were doing renovations, and even with so many things unfinished we knew we wanted it to be our wedding venue from the start. In addition to the beautiful atmosphere and wonderful food, you get what I believe might be the most important part of a wedding venue - fantastic service. Having never been married before or planned a wedding we didn’t realize how very important the service would end up being! The whole team wants you to have a wonderful day and will do anything in their power to give it to you. We mostly worked with Allison, Ryan and Garrett but everyone you came across at The Mill was extremely helpful. We had to ask for some weird things - my sister has some extreme dietary restrictions and many of our guests didn’t drink - but they were able to make her food she could eat and swap the champagne for sparkling cider for our guests. We even had a non-alcoholic custom... Read more drink! If you’re thinking that these are things that should be standard you may be shocked to learn that some of the venues we looked at would not accommodate these things. That is what makes this a truly fantastic venue. Our guests loved it (we heard from many that it was the best wedding they had been to) and we had the wedding of our dreams. If you’re considering The Mill you can’t go wrong.

Worked mainly with Allison and Ryan, but the entire staff of the Mill exceeded all expectations. Many guests reached out to say how accommodating and professional the staff was. Cocktail hour is mind-blowing, followed by a delicious plated dinner. Atmosphere is astonishing.... If you have not yet booked a venue..... defiantly worth checking out!!!

The mill was the first wedding venue we looked at, after looking at 7 other venues we came back to The Mill because it truly was the best. Liz guided us through the wedding planning process she let us stop by multiple times to look at things. The renovations that happened during the time from booking till our wedding only made the place more beautiful. Ryan was great in planning of our day and make sure all the details were in place. They were so flexible, and were so accommodating with the menu and made changes to make it perfect menu for us. On our wedding day, I didn’t have to lift a finger. They set up all our décor and worked with all our vendors making deliveries. Lindsay, our bridal attendant, made sure we were never hungry and had everything we needed. The staff at The Mill is really beyond anything you could ever imagine. The venue is beautiful and so many places to capture amazing photos. The food is also out of this world! Most wedding venues make you add on all these ... Read morethings for cocktail hour. With the mill everything is included in the standard package, and the bar also includes anything you could ever imagine. The staff also made sure there was a bottle of my husband’s favorite whiskey there for our wedding day. The Mill is truly the best of the best. If you are looking for the perfect wedding venue that is stress free, choose The Mill!

We got married this December at the Mill Lakeside Manor, and we could not recommend this venue more. From day 1, the staff were amazing to work with and extremely responsive to any/all questions, no matter how big or small. They are unbelievably professional, and made us feel so special. On top of that, the venue is absolutely beautiful and the food is delicious. We got so many compliments from our guests on the venue itself and how much they loved the food. We wish we could live this day over and over. Thank you to the Mill staff for making this such an amazing experience for us!

My husband and I got married 10/25/19 at The Mill Lakeside Manor. I cannot say enough great things! Everything was exactly as we hoped! The entire team at The Mill, Liz and Ryan especially made it easy to plan our day and made sure everything was flawless the day of our wedding! We were in constant communication throughout the planning process and they made sure we were getting exactly what we wanted. I have gotten so many compliments on the beautiful venue and the food! No guest left hungry due to the incredible amount of food at both the cocktail hour and reception. I feel like I could write forever about The Mill, everything was incredible, it was the best day of our lives!!

I don’t even know where to begin with the Mill. Everything was absolutely perfect including the coordination, food, service, attention to detail and decoration! Ryan was a fantastic Mater D and Allison was an AWESOME wedding coordinator making sure we were all set for the big day! The Mill was honestly so flexible and open to every idea we had! They made all our wedding dreams come true! My husband I will cherish these memories forever

If you are looking for the best venue look no further! The Mill Lakeside Manor was honestly such an amazing place to have our wedding. The staff and service was impeccable!! Shout out to Ryan our Maitre’D who was just the best ever!! Everything was perfect, the food was amazing, and there was so much food no one left hungry! We had so many guests telling us that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to! The venue itself is so beautiful and it truly was a dream come true!

We had our wedding at The Mill LakeSide Manor in July of 2019, and it truly exceeded all of our expectations. The venue itself is breathtaking. The location on the lake provides a very intimate setting for a wedding, and the inside decor is just as beautiful as the outside scenery. Our guests cannot stop raving about our wedding, specifically complimenting the INCREDIBLE food and AMAZING staff at The Mill Lakeside Manor. We had the pleasure of working with Ryan, Liz, Michelle, and Allison. Their attention to detail and organization made us feel relaxed and stress free throughout the entire planning process. They went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding night was everything we wanted, and they honestly felt like family by the end of our wedding night. We could never thank The Mill Lakeside Manor enough for helping to create the fairytale wedding of our dreams. We would whole heartedly recommend The Mill LakeSide Manor!
