I am unsure if this venue still does weddings, but if it does and still has the same ownership BEWARE! I had attended a BEAUTIFUL wedding at the venue(2005) which was why I had pursued using them for my 2008 wedding. Mistake.
I had felt we had very open communication with the venue... until the event.
We had booked the venue from 7pm till 12 am. The owners had told us we could set up on Friday so we did, and I had asked about post party clean up. They had told us they did not have another event till Oct 10th so we could clean up Sunday.
Well. Come about 10 ish PM the staff began cleaning up and taking tables and chairs out of the storage during my reception! Ok so I as a little irritated... but I let it go. I then went upstairs to get my stuff from the dressing area.... Well the entire upstairs has been rearranged for their next event... ok no biggie but my stuff had been THROWN on the FLOOR!
Ok now I am a little irritated! So I go back down stairs... it is around 11 pm now... Then I notice that one of the staff is taking it upon herself to take all the table cloths off the tables and stack the chairs, she even had the audacity to ask one my guests who was sitting what chairs she could take. I HAD HAD IT!
Basically long story short, the owner made if very clear we only had so much allotted time, FINE but you should not be cleaning up my party DURNING my party!
At that point the owner YELLED at me in front of my guests and made it clear I was not leaving with out paying...my reply "I am well Aware I owe you money! I have every intention of paying, you!" I was insulted and embarrassed!
So would I recommend the Mill.... NEVER! They ruined the most memorable day of my lifetime, the owner took a few hundred off the "rental time' part of my bill, I filed with the better business bureau but due to the fact he had made offer to "correct" the mistake there really was nothing more to do than make the situation known for others who might select this caterer for their event.
Yes... I am still bitter. Hell Hath no Fury like a Bride Scorned! read more
