A dream venue with dream staff!!

Please know I don't take this review lightly. They deserve 6 stars truly! Booking the Stone Mill was the best decision. Immediately working with Madison, their online coordinator, I knew I was in good hands. The venue is stunning but also very convenient. We had our rehearsal on Friday night at the restaurant on-site Johnny Roccos. I was able to book hair and make up on-site as well at the Kevin Lunn Salon (may I add they were amazing value, the best price you will find for hair and make up!!). They are also of course and Inn with 35 guest rooms (we booked 32 of them) and working with the hotel was a breeze as well. All of my guests raved about the ease of the day having the ceremony, reception and accommodations all in one place. The food was terrific! We opted for a slightly upgraded package which included a cake, DJ and Limo. This was such a great option and probably saved us about 50% than if we had booked these vendors separately. All of them were amazing to work with. This helped make my planning so much easier. We had the limo take us to a nearby sister venue called Rodman Hall for stunning outdoor photos. I cannot express enough how perfect our day was. Madison will do everything she can to make your day perfect, she is a true professional. Also of all the venues I priced out, from St. Catherine to Burlington, Stone Mill was the most affordable. Don't even think about it, go visit and book it for your wedding now!

Perfect October wedding

It has been a week since we got married at the Stonemill ballroom and I still can't stop thinking about how perfect everything was❤️ The staff is amazing and on point with everything, our coordinator Madison is absolutely wonderful and will go above and beyond to make sure your day is everything you imagined. The food is amazing all my guests are still talking about how good everything was, some people who have never been to johnny rocco's are now going to eat there after our wedding. I highly recommend the Stonemill Ballroom for a wedding or any event you will not be disappointed, we Will definitely be planning our next event there.

Exceeded Expections

We are so happy to have found Stone Mill Ballroom! The venue itself is beautiful and our guests still tell us how amazing the meal was. The food was delicious and the value of the entire event was outstanding. Madison was our coordinator and she was friendly, professional and organized from the planning stage right through to the wedding day. She led a team of friendly, attentive, professional servers. The added convenience of being able to stay overnight on site was a huge bonus for our guests from out of town. We cannot say enough good things! Stone Mill is the perfect choice.

Phenomenal!!!

From start to finish dealing with the Stone Mil Inn was exceptional. They were so kind and accommodating! The coordinator went above and beyond for us right up until our wedding was over. I can’t thank her enough for all that she did and I couldn’t recommend this place more. The food was 10/10 and the attentiveness to detail on their end was unmatched. If you are looking for an amazing stress free experience this is the place.

Amazing Food and Service

We recently celebrated our wedding at the Stone Mill Ballroom in October, and it was nothing short of fantastic. Madison ensured the smooth flow of our special day; her attention to detail and responsiveness were truly amazing. The entire staff was equally impressive, delivering impeccable service throughout. The meal was a major highlight and we are still hearing how much our guests enjoyed it. Additionally, the hotel went above and beyond to accommodate us in one of the wedding suites for two nights. We highly recommend the Stone Mill Ballroom for its exceptional service, delectable cuisine, and accommodating atmosphere.

Dream wedding in 2 months

We booked this venue in January and got married 2 months later in March. Thanks to the hard work of our coordinator, Madison, and the staff at the hotel, our experience with the Stone Mill Inn surpassed all of our expectations. The venue itself, the food and the service we received were outstanding. Everyone there helped to make our wedding day a beautiful one with memories we will always treasure.

The Stone Mill Ballroom Fantastic Venue

We hired The Stone Mill Ballroom and Ashley helped us coordinate activities and vendors leading up to our big day. She organized the tasting and we were delighted with the food. Ashley was very professional, responsive, provided suggestions to help us with our planning and she was very patient with us. Our guests praised us about the ceremony, the food and the ballroom as well. Thank you Stone Mill Ballroom for helping to make our day one of the best days ever!! Special thanks to Ashely.
