The Cotton Mill was incredible! The place is gorgeous and the facilities are top notch. Natalie and Lisa are the best coordinators and did an amazing job too. I felt so taken care of with this facility and would highly recommend!

The McKinney Cotton Mill was a dream. The venue was spotless, and Natalie and Lisa made me feel like I was the only bride they were working with. They answered every crazy question I had and even offered their expert advice on things. The Cotton Mill was exactly what I was looking for and they delivered!

Mother of the Bride Review:The McKinney Cotton Mill was a wonderful venue for a wedding. It is unique and historic! Our guests commented positively on all the areas including The Dye Room, The Main Hall, and the Reception Area. Very spacious and each room has unique features. Loved the waterfall, the huge wooden doors, and the outdoor fountain as you enter the front door. Plenty of parking, close to main highways and hotels as well as downtown McKinney. Lisa who is in charge of the venue was very helpful and knowledgeable about weddings in this venue and room set-ups. CN Catering is exclusive to the venue and Amber Coker was wonderful with planning, menus, tablecloths, napkins, flatware and tastings. Our guests are still commenting on the great food served. CN also provided the dance floor and photo booth. Everything was first class. This venue is large and very artistic with the art on the walls in the main hall. We used Amber Strawn @ Styled by Amber Events as our coordinator who was wonderful and very familiar with the McKinney area. This is a very memorable event space that includes great restrooms, bridal and groom areas. We booked this event almost a year in advance. It is special!

Not only is this a BEAUTIFUL venue but the staff was amazing. Lisa was supportive, caring, and attentive to all of our questions and needs. My mother is wheelchair bound and they made sure that all measures were taken to ensure she was apart of the ceremony that we had in the dye room. There was a marathon being run outside the morning of the wedding and they were onto of that as well. Made sure that we had parking at the venue and were able to come and go despite the road to the venue being shut down for most of the morning. Would highly recommend.

Lisa and her team were fabulous to work with from beginning to end! They were very available and sensitive to our needs and wants.Between those things and the vendors for food, flowers, and music we really had a spectacular and memorable event. This space and planning team aim to please and they sure did for us.

She was amazing and very responsive. The location is gorgeous. We had the entire venue at our disposal, and it was amazing. Absolutely gorgeous. The ballroom was beautiful and fit our Harry Potter theme perfectly. Very magical!

We wanted a venue that was unique and historical. The McKinney Cotton Mill is a hidden gem! It’s an incredibly expansive and beautiful property with both indoor and outdoor spaces, as well as other areas for some truly magnificent pictures! We were given the entire property for our wedding. We chose to have an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour, followed by an indoor reception. Because we found The Cotton Mill before our wedding planner, we were so lucky to meet Krista. She is so friendly, helpful, and responsive. She had great suggestions and ideas! Krista gave us a list of vendors who were familiar with the property and it’s unique qualities. She clearly wants every couple to have their dream wedding and will do anything she can to help achieve that goal… Whatever that looks like for you! Krista and my wedding planner worked together to add some design elements that had not been done before. They worked wonders to make our wedding magical! Thank you so much to Krista and her staff!

This venue is INCREDIBLE!! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! There are SO many beautiful places to utilize - there is a dreamy huge outdoor area with a waterfall, green ivy and plants that you can't believe, string lights, and beautiful brick walls that look STUNNING in pictures and real life. There is a moody, gorgeous event hall where we held our main reception, with these beautiful old windows. There is an incredible warehouse where we took some portraits, and there is even a SECRET GARDEN! and more! It is beyond the most beautiful venue ever. Not only is this place absolutely gorgeous but the staff are so wonderful. Krista was SO helpful (she helped us with ideas and planning!) and she was so fun and energetic. We got to visit and walk through things so many times with her, she made everything so easy and had the best ideas for our day! They really do go above and beyond. We also got FULL venue access the entire day of. We had plenty of time to get ready in their huge newly done bridal suite, set up, and tear down! The guests loved how perfectly this venue flowed, how gorgeous it was, and how many areas there were to go look at and take pictures in! Can't recommend this venue enough!

We absolutely LOVED having our wedding reception at the Cotton Mill. We had our cocktail hour in the hallway and the dinner/reception/dance party in the ballroom (church ceremony). The venue is absolutely stunning and definitely unique! Our guests continue to complement us on how gorgeous the Hall and Ballroom were. The beauty of the Cotton Mill is that you can decorate it to be anything you want! It truly is the most beautiful blank canvas. Krista is absolutely phenomenal to work with. She worked seamlessly and professionally with our wedding planning to make sure we had the wedding of our dreams. If you want a venue that isn't your standard banquet hall, that has tons of character and charm, and will take your guests' breath away, I highly recommend the Cotton Mill!

Absolutely amazing venue! The Cotton Mill was incredible, and we had so many guests tell us how beautiful and unique the venue was. We had an outdoor ceremony in the Dye Room in June and indoor Reception. The shade covers guests just perfectly right at 5:30pm so it was not too terribly hot. Cocktail hour was on the patio which worked out perfectly and all of our guests were able to take incredible photos in the courtyard by the waterfall and greens. To our knowledge, everything wen off without a hitch and it was the best party of our lives! Darla and Erin at the Cotton Mill are so easy to work with and are willing to help in every way possible to make sure the set up is to your liking and that you have all your vendors ready for the big day.

I could go on and on about Erin and the Cotton Mill! Erin was incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process and wedding day. I was heartbroken when we had to implement plan B of an indoor wedding because of the downpour of rain. But then an hour before the ceremony, the rain cleared and we were able to have my dream outdoor wedding and Erin played a huge role in this being possible. She was kind, flexible, helpful, and caring! She is amazing! Honestly the venue speaks for itself. It is gorgeous, inside and out. It has the perfect rustic/industrial vibe. It's creative, cool, and captivating. After seeing the venue in person and meeting Erin, there was no choice in where we were going to get married, the decision was made and we could not have made a better decision!

Nothing compared to the Cotton Mill once I had seen it and met Erin. She was warm and bubbly and made the decision very easy. We decided to use her as our day of coordinator as well which was 100% worth it! The Venue was beautiful, could seat way more than we even needed, and had the perfect vintage feel that we were going for. Many of our guests stopped to tell how amazing the venue was, which we agreed! It was also much more reasonably priced than some other venues nearby. Erin was helpful and provided the support that we needed. She assisted with everything from suggesting almost every awesome vendor we used to working with me on the seating chart and helping with table cloths, etc. The list is endless. I would recommend this venue to anyone!!

From the minute my mom, dad and now husband drove up to The Cotton Mill, we were blown away. Everything from the brick to the distressed wood to the abundance of greenery and ivy was stunning, and we were all quickly in agreement that we did not need to look any further for our wedding venue. Not only was the venue itself immediately impressive, but Erin (the venue coordinator) was also wonderful even prior to meeting - we had previously visited another venue where my parents felt rushed and under-informed. Erin quickly made the four of us feel welcome and took all time needed to answer any questions we may have had.Throughout the year and a half of planning our wedding, I was definitely a bride with a lot of questions - Erin always responded quickly and efficiently to my calls and emails, and she helped me to troubleshoot any and all small problems that I encountered along the way (even when they were not directly related to the venue itself). She truly went out of her way to ensure our day was PERFECT. The Mill is beautiful in and of itself, but working with Erin was truly the other half of what made our experience there so wonderful.As for The Cotton Mill as a wedding venue . . . we had wedding guests traveling in from New York, California, Las Vegas, Florida, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Colorado, Arkansas . . . you name it. Every single guest commented on how stunning the Mill was on our wedding day. The combination of brick and ivy in the dye room (despite being late October), the gorgeous courtyard upon arrival, the grounds around back of the venue and the gorgeous unfinished indoor space all come together to create a unique, beautiful space. I could not have imagined our wedding anywhere else, and our guests all felt comfortable amidst the beauty of the venue. Thank you Erin and Darla for our dream venue and our dream day!

Erin was especially helpful; she was honestly a huge reason why we went with TCM. She was available for any questions we had, and we were able to go in and look at the space pretty much whenever we needed to do so. The space itself was gorgeous and required very minimal decoration from us. It was the perfect size; people could dance and get their groove on in the reception space, or take a walk in the Grand Hallway or the Dye Room if they needed a little quiet. There is really nowhere else I could imagine our wedding having been.

The Dye Room outdoor ceremony space is unique and tranquil and rustic, and the reception space was fantastic - it fit a big stage for the band we hired. Erin M and the staff are super helpful, and were as flexible as they could possibly be, given that multiple events could be taking place the same weekend. We loved it, and the guests loved it.

This is the perfect location for a beautiful, rustic wedding! The staff (especially Erin McCormack) is incredibly helpful and will do anything to make sure you have the wedding of your dreams! The venue for pictures alone is the perfect backdrop to any wedding gown, not to mention how perfectly and easily it can be designed to fit your personality and vision. I could not have imagined getting married anywhere else!

The staff at the Cotton Mill was easy to work with and answered all of our questions with a smile! The venue is so beautiful and unique for the area. The Cotton Mill can hold just about as many people as you could wish for, has plenty of seating and the bridal suite is lovely as well. If you're in the Texoma/Dallas area, you need to look them up for your big day!

I highly recommend the Cotton Mill as a wedding venue! We went outside of what they normally do and really made the space romantic and not rustic. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was! I also used the indigo room for the ceremony which looked awesome in pictures! Erin works there and was the quickest vendor out of all of mine with her email responses. Any questions you can come up with, she has the answers! Just something to keep in mind- you do have to have everything removed that night and they do have rules about what can be hung on the wood. Neither of these were a problem for us but it is something to keep in mind! I loved having my wedding at the Cotton Mill and I would recommend it to anyone!

I went to a family wedding here 5 years before being engaged and knew I needed to visit as soon as we were ready to look at venues. The mill is gorgeous for a rustic theme wedding, but still is elegant. Erin is perfect. From the moment I met her I knew she was going to be amazing to work with. She went out of her way to make our whole experience amazing. She did things I am sure most event planners at venues do not do! She is more than someone we worked with but now a friend! Our day was perfect. Everyone commented about how beautiful everything was. It was because of the venue and the staff.

Our venue choice was the first in wedding planning and by far the easiest! The Cotton Mill is a blank canvas for you to create the wedding you've been dreaming of your entire life! There is so much you can do with the space, however the natural character and history and charm alone are irreplaceable. Working with the staff is was enjoyable and helped make our day run extremely smooth and the night was flawless. If we could do it all again- no hesitation on The Cotton Mill! A special thank you Darla, Erin and Maggie! These ladies at the mill ROCK! :)\r

I fell in love with this place when I first walked in! Having a winter wedding, I was concerned about heat, but that was far from a problem! There was more than enough space for everyone to be comfortable and separate those dancing, and those wanting to sit and drink coffee, and those that wanted to belly up at the bar. The staff that I worked with throughout the months of planning were rockstars! It was everything I could have wanted and more for my special day!!

The Cotton Mill is an absolutely beautiful venue and so different than the traditional hotel and country club, which is why my husband and I chose to have our wedding there. We got so many compliments on it and it made for a beautiful backdrop for my bridals and our wedding pictures. The venue is truly a blank space, because the Cotton Mill has nothing there. They say they provide tables, chairs, and linens, but what that really means is you give them a guest count, and they rent the items on your behalf. So you end up paying for every chair, table, and tablecloth on top of the rental fee for the venue (at least that's how it was for my wedding). Plus, EVERYTHING else you need for a wedding (down to salt and pepper shakers) has to be rented and brought in. It ended up being a lot more work and planning than I expected, but the end result was worth it. The only truly negative thing I have to say about the Cotton Mill is that on the day of the wedding, our family discovered while setting up, that there are wasps EVERYWHERE. There were dozens of nests in the rafters around the dye room and outside the building where we took pictures prewedding. Luckily nobody was stung, but I'm kind of surprised they haven't done something about that... All in all, I was happy with the venue, and if I had to do my wedding again, I'd still choose the Cotton Mill.

My husband and I saw the Cotton Mill online and heard from a ton of our friends that it was beautiful! We got married in a church, but had the reception at the Cotton Mill. Darla, the manager was great! The \"wedding planner\" named Tina.. was not so great. At first she is extremely friendly and convinces you to pay her on the side to be the \"wedding planner\" and that she has a ton of cheap vendors.. this is not true. My husband and I feel like we were cheated out of a lot of money. It is a gorgeous place and so unique and we are happy with our decision to have the reception there.. but the management there is horrible and extremely unprofessional. We were told that the reception would be $5,000 for about 150 people.. that price SKYROCKETED due to more tables and more seats. The do not have a fridge, kitchen, ice maker or any other form of running water other than the bathroom or the garden hose outside. Those are very important factors to a wedding.. They need to update the Cotton Mill and get a new owner. I was extremely disappointed in how unprofessional and sloppy they were with paperwork/contracts and how unresponsive they were to emails concerning our special day. It's just a money pit unfortunately. It is a truly beautiful venue and very spacious if you are having a lot of guests like we did.

This place is amazing!!!! From the moment my now husband and I drove up to the venue, until our wedding was over, we were in love with this place. It is so unique and beautiful. Although, you either have to decorate it completely yourself or hire and coordinator to do it for you, this place is so worth it. Darla who is the property manager, is very responsive and helpful. You can't go wrong with this place.

The cotton mill is absolutely perfect for a large wedding in historic downtown mckinney. finding outlets and the poles can sometimes be an issue, which is the only reason i did not give this 5 stars. They have selected vendors they work with but have a wide variety so you won't have issues with that. They provide tables and chairs at additional costs but it is worth it to not have to hire another vendor. This place books quickly-sometimes a year in advance so contact quickly. Parking is an issue and not in the best part of town but they have security on staff so no worries there. My sister and I both had a wedding here and though the building is a blank slate and can be overwhelming to decorate yourself- hire a decorator and it can be transformed into something wonderful and definitely different!
