Danielle Sent on 02/14/2022Great venue!
Just had a 200 person wedding ceremony and reception at the Corley Mill House and everything went so smoothly and so beautifully!! The venue space was beautiful and well laid out. The owners and day-of-coordinator really made it though, they were so responsive throughout the entire process (and I had a LOT of questions during planning), gave suggestions when I asked and were so on it the day of the wedding! I would HIGHLY recommend this venue for so many reasons! -

The owner and staff were the absolute best. They were supportive, friendly, flexible, and did everything in their power to make our wedding day as beautiful as we had ever dreamed. The house and garden is warm, welcoming, and picture perfect. I will recommend them to anyone and everyone. -

The most beautiful day ever ! We could have never imagined that our wedding would have been a perfect day. The staff made is stress free. The planning was a breeze. The wedding planners were able to lean on them in the planning and the day of our wedding they made sure we had everything we asked for and more. I would highly recommend this vendor because they go above and beyond to make sure your wedding is what you have always dreamed of. I can’t thank the team enough for how special and wonderful they made us feel! -

I had my daughters baby shower at the corley mill house. We had around 32 people and I could not have asked for a more perfect day. It was absolutely wonderful. No setting up no breaking it back down. The food was amazing and the staff wow everyone was so nice. I have NO complaints don’t change a thing. Thanks a bunch and I’m so happy that you are in Lexington. I will use this venue again and again. Oh the photographer I also give 5 stars ur the best. We add a lot of extras so the price wound not of been this amount if we didn’t. -

Southern Charm
My husband and I decided on a brunch wedding in July. Corley Mill House was a pleasure to work with. The food was marvelous and the staff attentive. Guests complimented the brunch menu and loved the charm of the house. Highly recommend Corley Mill House to any bride wanting an all inclusive wedding for ease of planning! -

I want to be very honest about my experience with the Corley Mill House. I got married on
6-15-19. I chose this venue because of the inclusiveness of it all and me living out of town. I would not personally recommend this venue after my experience. It comes down to five factors that were the MOST important for me.
1) Communication- Mrs. Sheila was for the most part very good at responding back to my emails very quickly! However, on the pricing sheet it stated, "Many other items for use". I asked several times in January and February for the list of items. She said it would be finished by the end of February but I never received it. If you promote something- have the document to back it up.
2) Food- I was the MOST disappointed with the food and a little embarrassed. I chose an option for a beef brisket carving station which on the menu explicitly states, "carved in front of guests". There was no carving and the small sliders were already put together. I also chose a mac and cheese action chef station in which the menu also states" many toppings to choose from such as pulled pork, bacon, mushrooms, ,etc". There were NO toppings but bacon for the mac and cheese. The beaufort stew skewers were COLD and did not seem very fresh. The problem is that you have to use their own catering (probably due to the fact that the owner of Scott Hall Catering is also owner of Corley House). I would not recommend the food at all! The bartender made my pineapple, rum, and strawberry drinks all wrong. I sent a very specific email stating how these should be made. Instead the ingredients were dumped in a pitcher and served from there. Those drinks were to be made when ordered and SHAKEN! I feel that goes without explaining. A bartender should have known that.
3) Friendliness- The catering staff that day were very sweet and very young. However, the bartender had a less than pleasant demeanor and not very friendly. I was very disappointed. I do not feel I had any issues with Sheila or day-of coordinator Nancy as far as friendliness was concerned. Mrs. Sheila was always able to make time to meet me when I wanted to set a quick meeting.
4) Ease of the day- I will say that it was a HUGE relief and help to have Nancy directing the rehearsal and the day of the wedding. It is also a huge help because they do help with clean up and getting things to your car. This is a major plus! I rented and paid for 7 hours. 4:30 to 11:30! I did end up cutting the wedding short because many guests had already left and I was feeling tired. I ended and left around 10 or 10:15. I was very disheartened to hear that my family that stayed behind to gather my personal belongings felt rushed to get out of the house. This should NOT have happened as I paid for the event to go to 11:30! They had plenty of time to gather my things without feeling rushed. I also paid $20 in cash that same day for the bar to stay open half an hour later (which I didn't end up needing), but never saw my money back nor was it offered.
5) Cleanliness- I personally think the house could use some cleaning. Sometimes I would visit and the mirrors and lanterns often looked like they had not been shined in a while. On the day of my wedding, the card and gift table linen had several crumbs of some sort on which I had to brush off and a small stain. I offered a candy buffet station and noticed the candy dishes were not very clean. I emailed Ms. Sheila to have these cleaned prior to the wedding but got no response. The very next day my candy was in the dishes and I have no idea whether they were washed or not.
Positives of the venue- GREAT space and BEAUTIFUL grounds, help with logistics from Nancy, they set things up for you (although they used the wrong candles in the lanterns).
Needs Improvement- FRIENDLINESS from bartender, cleanliness, quality of food and providing what is offered on the menu, taking the time to understand exactly how I wanted things set up, and making my family feel rushed to gather my belongings even though they were still on paid time.
