The one star is only because the venue itself is beautiful. However, when we paid for the venue, we didn't realize we were also paying for an unsolicited wedding planner. Nancy was extremely hard to work with. She was very rude to our caterer, so much so that this caterer was in tears most of the night and stated she will never cater at this location again. Nancy also made the dessert caterer cry by being rude and threatening to have her car towed. Nancy made the bride cry several times throughout the day by trying to create a timeline that did not flow with the agreed-upon timeline by the rest of the bridal party. She was trying to tell the bridesmaids that they NEEDED to get into their dresses at 12:45 (the wedding wasn't until 3pm). Nancy called our photographer at 12:30 and questioned her capabilities, even though she was not scheduled to arrive until 1 pm. Nancy also called our DJ and mandated him to arrive TWO HOURS BEFORE HIS SCHEDULED TIME. She did not offer to pay him for these two hours, instead the bride's family had to come up with the extra funds to pay for the extra two hours that were unplanned for. Nancy did not tell the family that she was doing this, she went behind their backs to do this and they didn't know until they saw the DJ setting up. Nancy lied to several family members and guests throughout the wedding weekend, blaming things on the bride for \"not wanting it done that way\" when the bride was the one who specifically asked for these things. On Sunday morning, several family members arrived to clean up around 10:15, and Nancy began to threaten to throw all decorations and belongings onto the street because \"you can only be here until 11am.\" She then threatened to make us pay $200 for \"refusing to do a walk through\" at 10:30 while the family was busy picking up decorations off the street to load into the cars. Overall, extremely unprofessional ownership and we would never recommend this place to anyone. Nancy and Buddy did an excellent job renovating this space and turning it into a beautiful venue, but things would have been so much more enjoyable if Nancy hadn't been there.

Absolutely stunning venue with the best staff. Nancy and Bud have every aspect of the wedding day figured out- from a beautiful room to get ready in, to a shuttle for guests to stay safe at the end of the night. A great place to choose for your special day. Worth every penny!

From the tour of the venue to the wedding day, The Mill gave us the wedding experience of our dreams. Our December wedding was full of wedding and Christmas cheer. Nancy and Buddy are not only the owners, but the coordinators. They will answer any and all questions, and put you at ease that \"they've got this.\" Nancy was with us ladies from 8am and throughout the morning to make sure we had what we needed during the getting ready hours. She also works behind the scenes with all of your vendors to make sure the day goes smoothly. Buddy helped behind the bar and helped things run smoothly as well. We enjoyed having The Mill for the whole weekend, Friday-Sunday. We had our rehearsal dinner, getting ready, ceremony, reception, take-down all at The Mill. Our wedding party, appreciated this because there wasn't any confusion on where they needed to be. This venue truly speaks for itself, and minimal decor is needed because of that. Thank you Nancy and Buddy for your service and lending us your beautiful venue. We are extremely happy with our decision to have our wedding at The Mill.

Do yourself a favor and book your event at The Mill! My partner and I had our winter wedding there during the midst of the pandemic and I could not have been more thankful to work with such an accommodating venue! Bud and Nancy were so incredibly helpful, reliable, and quick to reply to any questions we had throughout the whole process. On top of it all, The Mill is a genuinely beautiful venue. I felt I did not have to think too much about decorations because the venue speaks for itself - it is gorgeous! In addition, they accommodated us bring our dog (because we obviously couldn’t get married without him 😆 ). I cannot speak more highly of The Mill or Bud and Nancy!

I cannot say enough good things about the Mill. After you book with the Mill they send you a folder with a ton of information in it. The information includes food vendors, DJs, florist, photographer, and places to stay in area. From there Buddy and Nancy will always response to emails within a couple of hours. They will also let you come visit the Mill as many times as you want before your big day. Then during the day of your event Buddy and Nancy will be there all day with you. They will help you with everything you need help with. During my small wedding, they helped serve drinks and food. They will also be there to help you set up and take down your decorations. I would highly recommend using the Mill for your event. The Mill is a beautiful place, with amazing owners.

This venue was beyond what I could ever describe! The venue itself was absolutely gorgeous, and so cozy! There is some really cool areas to get ready on site, a really neat lounge area around the bar and a great spot for ceremony’s/reception! Aside from the venue, Nancy and Buddy went above and beyond for us! They were so kind from the first time we met with them, through our entire rehearsal and entire wedding day. We can’t possibly say enough amazing things about The Mill, but we are so thankful to have found it! Thank you so much Nancy & Buddy! It was truly everything we could have asked for. We would HIGHLY recommend.

Nancy and Buddy attended to every detail to make our wedding truly perfect. Nancy was always available via text/email and was very receptive to answering questions as they came up. This couple is so kind and honestly cares about doing a fantastic job for their guests. Would highly recommend!
