We had a great experience having The Mill as our wedding venue! We loved the way it looked. The booking process was straightforward. We thought it was a good balance of customizing the day for our needs without having to prep too much, as they set everything up and packed everything up at the end of the night, including the decorations we brought. We chose to have drink tokens for our reception and those were used without issue and we paid the tab seamlessly at the end of the night. We would highly recommend them for your wedding!

Jenna Whitaker(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-12-2022 My husband and I got married on 12/18/22 at The Mill Event Center. It is the PERFECT wedding venue. Planning a wedding is no small task, but it was 10 times easier to plan our wedding since we had it at The Mill. Amanda, their event manager, brought our vision to life for our wedding day. She was so professional, knowledgeable, and great to work with. She and her staff made our day go so smoothly. They set everything up for you and tear everything down to make it a stress-free day for the bride, groom, and wedding party. The space is absolutely gorgeous and our guests were blown away by how amazing everything looked. They worked so well with the rest of our vendors and the prices are very affordable. We were so pleased with how our wedding day turned out thanks to The Mill. Reviewed on 05-02-2023
Samantha Hall(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-10-2022 We hosted our wedding at The Mill Event Center and it was an absolutely incredible day. Amanda was so sweet and organized, and having her as our day-of coordinator was seriously one of the BIGGEST perks of having our wedding at The Mill. It gave us so much peace of mind and we had nothing to worry about because we sat down with her and planned everything out, and then they brought our vision to life! They worked with our other vendors to coordinate drop offs for food and equipment and we didn't have to do a thing in that regard. They set everything up and tore everything down for us. Amanda kept us all on schedule throughout the night and made sure to encourage us to take in the moment. She is also VERY skilled at bustling a wedding dress! The Mill staff was SO kind and supportive throughout the entire day, and the venue was just absolutely incredible. It was everything that we had hoped for and more. It was definitely the most beautiful day of our lives thus far and we made the best choice by having our wedding at The Mill. THANK YOU for the day of our dreams and memories that will last a lifetime! Reviewed on 09-11-2022
Mia Hecker(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-09-2022 My husband and I got married at The Mill in September 2022 and we could not have asked for a more perfect space for our ceremony and reception! We had planned on two different venues originally, but, when we changed our minds and decided on The Mill for everything, it was seamless and ultimately made the day run smoother. Amanda and Melissa were wonderful to work with - the setup was perfect and the communication put my mind at ease in the weeks and days leading up to the wedding. We wouldn't have changed anything about how our day went and would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a unique, beautiful space that requires minimal decoration! Reviewed on 03-11-2022
Lauren Janke(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-11-2021 The Mill Event Center exceeded my expectations! The pictures do not do it justice. It's so much bigger and beautiful in person. It was absolutely perfect for our smaller 50-person wedding back in November 2021. The staff made everything smooth and easy. I felt very well taken care of by them asking if we needed beverages and frequent check-ins. We even told our caterers the wrong time for dinner, and the venue/staff were able to push everything up an hour so the evening could run as it was initially intended. My husband and I want to come back in to do our vow renewals here. We could not have asked for a better day, largely due to The Mill Event Center! Reviewed on 30-10-2022
Danielle Robinson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-09-2022 If we could repeat our special day at The a Mill over and over again we definitely would. Leading up to our wedding the planning was relaxing and easy with Amanda and even those last couple weeks she communicated often to finalize the finishing touches. The Mill staff and Amanda made our day completely stress free and they made our exact vision of our special day come to life. I couldn't be more happier at any other venue!!! They are 110% professional and at the end of the night went above and beyond to find something we could put our top layer of our cake in for our 1 year anniversary! From start to finish, flawless!!!!

Clarissa Miller(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-05-2022 We are so happy we chose the Mill for our wedding! Everything was absolutely perfect! Amanda and Natalie were both so helpful through the beginning stages and planning. The reception area was decorated beautifully and exactly what I envisioned it would be. Amanda was so helpful with the rehersal and made sure everyone knew what to do. My daughter was nervous about participating in the wedding and she made accommodations for her, so that she could change her mind last minute if needed. Day of the wedding, we were running behind getting hair and makeup done and Amanda ensured everything ran smoothly until we arrived. I was not happy with my makeup and as soon as I got there, Amanda came in with her makeup kit and helped me fix my makeup and was very helpful asking me what I needed. Throughout the wedding and reception she made sure everything ran smoothly. It was the best day ever and everything was what I dreamed it would be. Thank you so much for making our wedding day perfect!! -The Millers Reviewed on 11-05-2022
