5 stars is not enough!!!

Amazing!

Stone Mill Inn is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. HOWEVER, what made us choose Stone Mill over the other venues we’ve visited was the passion that the team has for the work that they do; it was evident from the very first meeting that we had with Ken, Olivia, Amy, and Jim.

And Olivia- amazing!!!! She made sure we have everything before the day of; she checked in on us constantly, was very flexible when changes happened, and overall so kind; she clearly knows what she’s doing and we valued her opinion a lot throughout the process. She made us comfortable and answered every questions we have during planning, and she responded right away :)

The day of the wedding… it was unfortunate that it rained, but something we can’t control. As soon as I got to the bridal suite, Ken and Karen and team were there to help right away! Karen checked in on me and my bridesmaids every hour to make sure we are good; I was thankful for her bc the rain was stressing me out, and her constant reassurance made me feel better! Lol.

The whole wedding was so organized and everything went as planned! We’ve gotten so many praise from our guests about the food and the service, and of course how beautiful the property was. Our family and friends were all so impressed how great the staff and how friendly they were; some of them even said “they are clearly pros as what they do!” I could keep going on and on with this, SMI is just that amazing.

TLDR: if you want a wedding in a beautiful property/scenery AND! a staff that clearly cares about you and your experience and passionate about the work that they do, AND ofc DELICIOUS FOOD, I would go for Stone Mill Inn.

The Only Venue You Need to Tour

There are not enough words to express how amazing our experience at the Stone Mill Inn was. From the moment we first walked onto the property, we knew the SMI was the place we would start our forever. The staff at the SMI is unlike any other wedding vendor out there. Their talent, expertise, kindness and attention to detail are next level. They truly make you feel like friends and family, and treat your wedding journey with such love and care.

My husband and I felt like we were the only wedding they were planning with how much time, attention and help went into our day. Olivia was who showed us around the property first, and she quickly became a key reason we signed with the SMI. She was so talented, fun and we knew she would be amazing to work with when bringing our vision to life. She was key in turning our dreams into a reality.
Ken and Karen, the owners, cared about us a couple more than any other vendor we worked with. Whether checking in to see how things were going, asking about our family, friends and beyond, they brought a level of magic to the wedding planning process that I cannot begin to explain.
Planning a wedding is hard, often stressful, and not very glamorous. but when you choose the SMI, they make the experience memorable, fun, and exciting. When we look back at this chapter of our lives, we will always remember the kindness from the staff, the stunning property, and the way the team showed up for us.
Finding the venue was an amazing experience, they answered all my questions and helped us pick a date that would align with what we were looking for on our big day. Planning with the SMI wedding coordinators was top tier. They provided helpful resources, answered every one of my emails quickly and professionally, and they cheered us on and were always happy and excited to talk and work with us. They never ever made me feel like a bother ( even on email #5 of the week!!). On the day of the wedding, the team blew our expectations out of the water. They are so creative, talented, and sweet and our day was picture perfect.
The tasting event was such a fun and delicious day that we will always remember and made crafting our wedding day menu so easy. The food at the SMI is better than any restaurant and the catering team & chef have such a passion that truly shines through the food and the experience. Our rehearsal and decor drop off was organized, quick, and FUN! The SMI team made our entire wedding weekend enjoyable. The SMI is the only wedding venue who goes above and beyond for their couples. We didn't lift a finger all weekend. They even opened my car door when I pulled up for the wedding morning! The bridal getting ready suite was the perfect size, so beautiful and the staff was amazing to me and the girls all morning. They are so professional and great at throwing events that if anything went wrong that day, we had no idea!! They handled everything with grace and the day was beyond our wildest dreams. I could write a book on the SMI and how amazing they are. They are the only venue we toured and we knew instantly, we cannot recommend them enough. Thank you SMI for the best day of our lives, we love you!

Stone Mill Inn Delivered Our Dream Wedding!

Our wedding at Stone Mill Inn was an absolute dream. Ken and Karen, the owners, were incredibly hands-on and dedicated to making our day perfect. From the initial planning sessions to the execution of our ceremony and reception, their attention to detail was impeccable.
The venue itself is stunning, offering a picturesque setting that made our wedding day feel like a fairytale. The inclusive package they offer, including in-house farm-to-table style catering, makes the entire process seamless and stress-free. The fact that everything was inclusive truly sets Stone Mill Inn apart from other venues in the Maryland/Pennsylvania area.

On our wedding day, the staff at Stone Mill Inn were absolute lifesavers! Despite our plans for an outdoor ceremony (“The Abbey” was even printed on our wedding invites!), unexpected rain forced us to swiftly change gears and move everything indoors. The staff displayed remarkable patience, kindness, and professionalism throughout this sudden change. They were by our side every step of the way, ensuring that the transition was seamless and stress-free. Their adaptability and grace in handling the situation showed their commitment to ensuring our day was perfect, regardless of the weather, was evident in every detail they managed. We couldn't have asked for a more supportive team to navigate such a significant change on our special day.

Not only did they excel in creating a breathtaking atmosphere for our wedding, but the dinner experience was also beyond exceptional. What truly stood out was the attentive staff who went above and beyond to ensure we, the bride and groom, not only had a chance to enjoy the delicious appetizers and dinner but also made certain we took moments together to celebrate amidst the whirlwind of the day. Their genuine care made us feel not just like another wedding couple, but like cherished guests, adding an extra layer of warmth to our entire wedding experience.

Olivia, our day-of coordinator provided by Stone Mill Inn, was a true star! Her friendly nature, smart ideas, and year-long dedication made our wedding planning easier and more enjoyable. Her expertise and warmth made her an invaluable part of our special day.

If you're searching for a wedding venue that offers not only a beautiful setting but also staff who are genuinely invested in making your day unforgettable, look no further. Stone Mill Inn exceeded our expectations in every way possible. Highly recommended for couples seeking an enchanting ceremony and reception venue!

Thank you, Stone Mill Inn, for making our special day truly magical.
