The perfect place to tailor your wedding. You rent the enter place and hire your own professional cater. Most places don’t offer this flexibility + you can buy your own alcohol which is a huge plus if you want to do an open bar, more affordable. The owners are very sweet and attentive to your concerns and possible needs. Couldn’t be happier 10/10Beautiful place for a wedding. We absolutely loved. The perfect place to tailor your wedding.

- AAlex Roy16/08/2024Charming Old Mill Wedding VenueCharming Old Mill Wedding VenueBeautiful venue for weddings! The upstairs could use more airconditioning but the wedding was on the hottest day of the summer (30 degrees +), black tie event, and with 75 people so I don't blame the aircon for not keeping up. The owner is a very nice and very thoughtful guy. He has done a marvelous job at maintaining the grounds and the beauty of the old mill. Would highly recommend for outdoor weddings.Beautiful venue for weddings!
