Stone Mill — Local services in New York

My husband and I got married at the Stone Mill at the New York Botanical Gardens on 9/14/24 and I am in constant awe of the memories of how perfect our day was. We initially toured the venue with Chantal and immediately felt like her and her team were people we would like to work with. She’s warm, kind, and you can tell she’s very on top of things. The Stone Mill itself is such a unique and perfect venue - it’s like a warm, romantic, cozy stone cottage structure in a secluded forest on the river while still being in the city! Throughout the wedding planning process, we worked with both Chantal and Brittany and they were both wonderful to work with! They were prompt with responses and were so helpful in working out any issue or decision that we needed assistance with. Sometimes we felt like we were bombarding with too many emails but they were always super kind and helpful! There was a large group tasting in July for all the upcoming weddings and it was so fun to attend - they set it up like your attending a wedding itself and trying food in both a cocktail hour and sit-down dinner portion. The wedding itself was nothing short of an absolute DREAM! We had about 100 guests which felt like the perfect size for this space. We also got ready in the morning in Manhattan and it was easy to transfer up to the venue! We knew the space itself would be stunning (and it was!), but we were also blown away by the NYBG team. On the day of, we saw some of both Brittany and Chantal and had a bridal attendant taking care of us. They made us both feel like the most special people in the world and like they were there to make sure our day was absolutely perfect - and it was! We arrived to Champagne and snacks for the wedding party before photos. There is a small bridal suite with a private bathroom to get dressed in. My husband and I were driven around in a golf cart for photos and they know exactly where to bring you to get stunning pictures! The wedding itself went seamlessly - there isn’t a person who worked with us that isn’t both extremely kind and so professional. Guests are greeted upon arrival with a glass of champagne and a valet who parks their car. The venue itself feels so private and it was so lovely to hear the peaceful river during the ceremony. After the ceremony, my husband and I were escorted to the bridal suite where the staff had stocked it with all the food from cocktail hour and drinks to make sure we didn’t miss anything! The food was amazing!! We had so many guests commenting on this being the best wedding food they’ve ever had, how kind everyone who worked the wedding was, and what a stunning venue it was! There was a small issue with the cake that wasn’t even a big deal and they handled it perfectly but as an apology for there being a small inconvenience, my husband and I were welcomed home from our honeymoon with a cake from the bakery who made our wedding cake as a gift from the venue staff! I truly truly can’t recommend enough getting married at the Stone Mill. We felt so taken care of and celebrated at all times, it’s such a unique and beautiful venue, and they have the absolute best team. When I think of our wedding, I think of the word magical and that’s largely in part to what an amazing venue we chose. It’s also so cool to be able to go back to the gardens now after the wedding and relive the memories of the day. We highly recommend and couldn’t be more grateful to the team for helping to make our day as...

We really wanted to choose a wedding venue that would be around forever and that wasn't just a venue that churned out weddings - we wanted it to be a place that was meaningful to us so that we could take our future children there one day and visit on our anniversary. From the moment we saw the Stone Mill at NYBG, we knew that we would get married there. It was just magical. This impression only became stronger after meeting Chantal, who is truly professional. We immediately understood that she truly cared about us instead of trying to push a sale. She knows everything there is to know about her business. She was so patient and generous with her time in answering our many questions, and she was so respectful of everyone involved. With her intuition and attention to good fit, she also paired us with incredible staff - bridal attendant Sasha and service captain Zachary - who took impeccable care of us and our guests. Sasha had a keen eye and helped me immensely as a bride to look and feel at my best and most comfortable. Throughout the process, Chantal was there with her attention to detail and made us feel like we were the only wedding in the universe. She was available on our wedding day to supervise and problem-solve immediately, and we could tell that she is so loved and respected by her staff for a reason. We were so fortunate to work with her and her team and would not hesitate to...

This is actually the traditional old Snuff Mill. Historically one of first enterprises in the Bronx. An original actually preserved landmark, of an historical era. Please do not try to rewrite history. As children in the 1950's, 60's & 70's, we would all gather here after a very long hike and exploration, from within the Bronx Park. This entire Garden actually lies within the entire BX Park. Which actually stretches from the East River of the South BX to Vahalla's Kensico Dam, 20 miles up river. This is where we all grew up , our actual front yard. One of the largest in the world. There would always be a store within this mill, with cakes & coffee for all to enjoy. Until the pharmaceutical conglomerate, made a force take over, and kicked out all the real native ...
