At The Inn at Millrace Pond, we know that cocktail hour is one of the most anticipated parts of a wedding day. It’s the first time guests come together to celebrate after the ceremony, and it sets the tone for the rest of the evening. That’s why we’re excited to share that our outdoor cocktail hour space has recently been refreshed, and even better, it’s directly connected to our historic Barn wedding venue.
An Outdoor Cocktail Space With Character
The newly updated outdoor cocktail space provides a seamless transition from ceremony to celebration. Couples can now welcome their guests into a beautiful open-air setting surrounded by the Inn’s historic charm and natural beauty. Whether you’re sipping cocktails under string lights or enjoying seasonal hors d’oeuvres at sunset, the atmosphere is designed to be warm, inviting, and unforgettable.
Direct Access From The Barn
What makes this outdoor space unique is its location. The cocktail hour area is directly attached to the Barn at The Inn at Millrace Pond, making it easy for guests to flow from one part of the wedding day to the next. With its rustic beams, stone architecture, and cozy yet spacious feel, the Barn is one of the most beloved New Jersey barn wedding venues — and now couples can enjoy the best of both worlds with an indoor/outdoor celebration experience.
Why Couples Love This Update
