My husband and I started researching wedding venues in January 2025 and stumbled upon The Mill. We had never attended a wedding there but had heard positive reviews from others who had been there before. They were responsive and flexible with our schedule to come and tour the venue. We met Racquel, who answered our many questions and we left the tour being so impressed with the beauty, warmth, and all that’s included when you elect The Mill for your wedding venue. We booked shortly after and from that point forward, The Mill was first-class treatment all the way. The cake and food tastings were incredible. Our parents joined us at the food tasting and we left stuffed and excited for our options! In weeks leading up to the wedding, our coordinator changed to Mya, who was quickly in touch with us and caught up on all the details surrounding our wedding. On our wedding day, Angela was my bridal attendant who was with me every step of the way throughout the day. She bustled my dress and even helped me change my shoes from heels to sneakers! Tyler was our maitre'd and kept all of us on track and organized through the entire day. We had three young flower girls in our wedding party- even they were taken care of by everyone from the kitchen to the event staff. We cannot say enough positive things about our entire day- and our guests are still raving about the food six weeks later! You will not have a single regret if you choose to get married at The Mill!
The staff here were awesome!! Super friendly, super helpful, and just really on top of everything. They made the whole day feel easy and fun, which is exactly what you want on your wedding day. Our guests kept saying how great everyone was, and honestly, we couldn’t agree more. The team made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. If you want a stress‑free wedding with people who genuinely care, this is the place.
We hosted our December wedding reception at The Mill. The event itself certainly impressed and went flawlessly. The staff was extremely attentive during service and accommodated several changes last minute.
Chris and Tyler we instrumental to having as stress free of a wedding as possible. We were thoroughly impressed at their professionalism and attention to detail. The Mill knows what they are doing, more so than you, so just trust in them and it will go well.
With the fantastic service and details that are included in the reception package made it well worth it. The amount of details The Mill took off our plate was incredible. I highly recommend using The Mill for a wedding.
In December, the venue was beautifully decorated too.

It was by far the best wedding I have ever attended. Beautiful venue, excellent food, and impeccable service was the absolute winning combination. My friends were raving about it. Thank you for providing Alex and Shane with such a memorable day. Cindy
The Mill Lakeside Manor was the very first venue my husband and I toured, and before we even walked out of the building, we were ready to book it. There is something special about The Mill, we got that feeling immediately and knew it was the one.
Our wedding was the best day of our lives, and every part of it was perfect. That wasn’t by fate or coincidence — every member of The Mill’s team goes above and beyond to thoughtfully curate an unforgettable experience.
Throughout the planning process, we worked with our wedding coordinator, Christopher, who was kind, helpful, and informative. His clear communication made our 1.5 years of wedding planning smooth and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
For a full circle moment, Christopher was there to greet us on our wedding day and ensure our day started smoothly. Alongside Christopher was our maitre'd, Tyler. Tyler was unbelievable. His calm demeanor, clear communication, and composed approach made our wedding day feel effortless. His presence and guidance was much appreciated not only by my husband and me, but also our parents and our bridal party. Tyler made sure they were all taken care of throughout the day.
Devon was my bridal attendant and another standout member of The Mill. She was incredibly patient and attentive, anticipated every need, and was always there to help without hesitation.
Almost two months later, our guests are STILL raving about their experience at our wedding. Our parents’ friends are saying it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever attended, and our friends keep sharing their favorite foods from cocktail hour (all different from each other!). On top of that, we received endless compliments about the beautiful venue, the stunning outdoor ceremony space, and the kind, attentive staff who helped make the night extra special.
The Mill Lakeside Manor is without a doubt, the best place to have your wedding. My husband and I so desperately want someone we know to get married here so we can experience it as a guest!!
Thank you to The Mill and all your staff for helping create such a special, and unforgettable day for us :)

Great for Weddings and Parties.Good menu, food was good,had a good DJ,free parking!
Our wedding at The Mill was truly the best night of our lives. Everything was absolutely perfect, the attention to detail, the food, the staff, the service. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about it, and many told us it was not only the best wedding they’ve ever been to, but the best party of their life! Our maître d’, Tyler, was incredible. He was kind, calm, and had everything completely under control from start to finish. My bridal assistant, Julia, was amazing always there when I needed her and so sweet throughout the entire day. If my glass was empty, she was there in a second to fill it, it was awesome. And Sue, our wedding coordinator, was with us through two full years of planning. She made the entire process seamless and enjoyable, and we truly couldn’t have done it without her. Up until the next morning when we picked up our decorations, we felt warm and welcome at The Mill like they are family. We are so grateful to the entire team for giving us the most unforgettable, magical day. If you’re considering getting married here do it. They are the BEST.
The Mill is amazing!!! We got married there this September, and it truly was the most magical day of our lives. Chris, Tyler, and all of the staff went above and beyond to make our day incredible and to support us along the way. All of the guests were very impressed with the little details, as well as the delicious food! Additionally, our friends and family keep telling us how it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. Thanks so much again to everyone at The Mill for the best day ❤️
Having our wedding at the Mill was the best decision we could've made and will be thankful for that entire staff for the rest of our lives. Our 18 month engagement was filled with tons of back and forth with Sue - the GREATEST coordinator - who answered every email, phone call, and silly question with true and genuine care.
The day itself was beyond perfect thanks to Sue, Tyler, Ang, and the rest of the Mill staff. Their professionalism made us feel at ease immediately and they all became fast friends quickly! A month later and we still bring up how much we love Ang.
The Mill itself is stunning, the fall foliage & landscaping is so perfect and made a flawless backdrop for our ceremony and photos - elevating every picture. The extras touches and services they provided to our guests left a lasting impression. Not exaggerating, every person that's reached out has confidently said that we had the best wedding they've ever been to in their lives.
THE FOOD is not to be believed. The cocktail hour is not only outrageous (positive) in what they offer but also in the quality of the food. The dinner, and offering seconds also had guests in awe!! Everything was delicious.
The love and effort that the team put into our wedding, and I'm sure every wedding, is so special and helps elevate the happiness and positivity in the air. Our next mission is to get invited to a wedding at the Mill so we can experience it all again as guests!
Thank you all so so much!
Christina & Steve Conrad

The Mill Lakeside Manor was nothing short of breathtaking! From the perfect backdrop fountain during our kiss to the small but most heartfelt notes and messages from the staff throughout the day. It was truly the most memorable day of our lives!!
From the moment we arrived, 2 years ago, we were captivated by the beautiful landscape and the gorgeous gardens that surrounded us. And not to mention that cocktail hour!! The ambiance was enchanting, with soft lighting and elegant decor that created a romantic atmosphere. Every corner of the venue seemed to tell a story, and it felt like a dream come true to celebrate our love in such a picture perfect setting.
What set this venue apart from others was the exceptional service provided by the our coordinator Christopher and the entire staff. Chris made our planning a breeze and every moment we spent with him made us feel at ease. From his personality and the bond that grew and grew. Tyler, our maître d’ was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was executed flawlessly. We felt so cared for the entire night he was by our side if we needed anything & everything !! And Angela my bridal attendant, was nothing but perfect! Her warmth, funny and caring personality felt as if my own sister was caring for me. When i got nervous we instantly laughed as we joked about a little inside joke I made; and it was the best experience i could ask for. From the beginning planning stages to the final moments of our celebration, their professionalism and warmth made us feel supported and cared for. It made us feel like family.
The day of the wedding, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment, knowing that we were in great hands. The staff was always on hand to assist with anything we needed, from coordinating the timeline to ensuring our guests were comfortable. Their seamless planning allowed Joel and I to focus on what truly mattered, which was celebrating our love with family and friends. Looking back, we can confidently say that this venue not only provided a stunning location but also contributed to making our wedding day the best day of our lives.
My wife and I attended a wedding here and we were absolutely blown away at the quality of the food, the quantity of the food, and the lovely surroundings. A beautiful wedding venue with space outdoors right next to a lake if you desire an outdoor ceremony. Plenty of space indoors as well. All in all, a wonderful experience.
I cannot say enough about this place. The service, decor, food, the lake . Everything was amazing.
Excellent food. Fantastic service
There are truly no words to capture how we felt about The Mill! Don't think twice - book The Mill as your wedding venue!! We got married a few weeks ago on 10/10/25, and are still obsessing over how perfect the day was - and so much of that credit goes to The Mill's incredible staff, exceptional service, and beautiful venue.
For starters, the venue is stunning - it is purpose built and they have thought of everything. It is so beautiful having the lake as the backdrop and with the deck off of the cocktail hour room. The cocktail hour room is spacious with ample room with seating and space for mingling. Even the foyer is stunning! My all time favorite is the stunning landscaping which is always looking fresh & well kept. All of the details make the day more seamless than I could have ever imagined.
We were so fortunate to meet with Christopher from on our first tour and even luckier that he became our coordinator. From the start (over a year in advance), Christopher was kind, helpful, and always responsive. He reliably and quickly answered ALL of our endless questions with grace, patience, and professionalism - whether it was vendor recommendations, schedule timing, decor decisions, sending us video clips of the venue when we needed it since we live in the DC area, and much much more. He deserves a huge shoutout and if you get the chance to work with him consider yourself lucky!
Throughout the entire planning process they made us feel at ease as every detail is thought of and addressed. Their attention to detail made it so we didn't even need to hire a wedding planner. Every aspect was handled with care & passion.
The Mill hires the best of the best, because everyone we encountered was incredible, beyond kind, professional, and offered the kind of attentive service that made you & your guests feel like royalty. We had the best day-of team imaginable, with Tyler as our Maitre'd and Devan as my bridal attendant. They were by our sides when we needed them and frequently & gently checked in with us throughout the night to make sure things were on schedule/to see if we needed anything/you name it. All members at The Mill were professional, kind, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect.
As you will hear from anyone that has been to a wedding here, the food is UNMATCHED. They offer a variety cuisines during the cocktail hour and one thing is better than the next! The quality of the dinner options make it hard to choose (we had so much fun at our wedding food tasting to say the least!) - everything is off the charts and they go around offering seconds. After that there's traveling treats for dessert and wedding cake - truly unreal!
Our friends & family are still raving about how much fun they had and how amazing our wedding was. We couldn't imagine celebrating our wedding anywhere else. We would recommend The Mill to anyone who will listen - do yourself a favor and check them out.
