Colonial-era inn and village that has hosted every kind of family party for generations.
The house at 585 North Broadway goes back to 1672, when a Quaker settler named Mary Willets built a two-room home with a central fireplace on what was then colonial Jericho farmland. It has been running as a restaurant for more than eighty years. Almost everything else about booking a wedding here takes a phone call, because the website will not talk to a machine.
Everything here is marketplace and it stays that way until somebody makes a phone call. The Milleridge sits at 585 North Broadway in Jericho, in a house dating to 1672. It has run as a restaurant for more than eighty years. Its website is script gated and returns a redirect notice rather than a banquet page, so there is no first party number to print. The one specific figure anyone publishes is $750 for the ceremony, and the $14,000 start has no guest count or season attached to make it mean anything. Note the address before you drive: it is North Broadway, not Jericho Turnpike, which several directories get wrong and which is a different road with a different set of halls on it.
We tried milleridge.com, which is script gated and returns a Javascript redirect notice. We then read the WeddingWire storefront, WeddingWire's Long Island banquet hall directory, Zola searches for Jericho and Oyster Bay and the Eventective Jericho page. No The Knot or Wedding Spot listing was located. Checked September 2026. First party means the venue’s own site or rate card; marketplace means The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola, Wedding Spot or similar. Nothing here is averaged or estimated.
INCOMPLETE: the inn's own site cannot be read without a browser and only WeddingWire answered, so every figure above is marketplace and unverified against milleridge.com.
Milleridge’s site is script-gated. Request the history page or the banquet rooms page without a browser and what comes back is “You are being redirected...Javascript is required.” No room list, no capacity, no fee schedule, nothing a search engine or a comparison site can read. We are not going to pretend we read it.
Our fact table carries “up to 400, ballroom 300+” and it stays marked unconfirmed until someone at the Inn confirms it in writing. The only public numbers we can find sit on WeddingWire, an aggregator whose figures we do not treat as reliable: it lists up to 400 guests, a $14,000 starting price and a $750 ceremony site fee. Those are third-party listing data, not the venue’s published pricing, and we are labelling them that way rather than laundering them into a fact box.
It is 585 North Broadway in Jericho. Not Jericho Turnpike. Several directories put it on the Turnpike, which is a different road with a different traffic pattern and a different set of neighbouring halls. If you are shopping that corridor, use our Jericho Turnpike page and note that the Milleridge is not on it.
In September 2015 the operator announced retirement and a plan to sell. More than 10,000 people signed a petition; a new operator was in place by that November, and CBS New York reported 175 jobs saved. Butch Yamali’s Dover Group bought the property from Kimco Realty in 2016. Then in August 2024, News 12 reported the Inn had temporarily closed for renovations and a menu update, with a September reopening expected.
None of that is an argument against booking it. It is an argument for asking, on your tour, what the current event calendar looks like and for getting the cancellation and change-of-ownership language read properly before you sign. A 350-year-old property that people have twice organized to save is unusual, and knowing the history is part of booking it well.
The property is a colonial-era village rather than one banquet building: the Inn itself, a separate cottage venue, shops, and an outdoor ceremony area. Nassau County’s own tourism office, writing it up for America250, calls it one of the oldest continuously operating restaurant properties in the United States and singles out the flock of peacocks that roam the grounds. We have not walked the event rooms and we are not going to describe them for you.
What we can tell you is what the age buys. Nobody on your guest list needs this place explained, and nobody needs it sold. On Long Island the Milleridge is shared memory, and a fair number of the people you invite already have a story about eating here as a kid.

The Milleridge sits a mile off the Jericho Turnpike corridor, where Crest Hollow, Fox Hollow and Westbury Manor are all selling the same Saturday. The Milleridge is a hall, and a very particular one.
