    Beautiful hotel

    I definitely recommend the Mills house to anyone considering a wedding there. The renovations to the rooms and lobby are beautiful. The food was delicious and all the staff were very attentive. Eric was a pleasure to work with. He listened to all my questions, concerns and walked me through all the details to ensure it was everything I had envisioned. Mary was also very thoughtful in following up to make sure we had a gray time. Thank you again for making it a wonderful night!

    Great experience at the Mills House

    The Mills House did a spectacular job making our wedding weekend a total joy and success. They were very easy to work with from the start in 2019, through a rescheduling due to COVID, and finally to the wedding in April of 2022. We hosted a welcome party, wedding/reception, and Sunday brunch. The food, service, and ambiance were all excellent. Kaitlyn assured us that once the planning was done, all we needed to do was show up and she was totally correct!

    Incredible Wedding Venue

    Everything about our wedding was perfect thanks to the entire staff at The Mills House, specifically Katelin Hancock! We are from Philadelphia and booked and planned our entire wedding without seeing the Hotel. Katelin was so accommodating with FaceTime appointments and helped to make sure we were comfortable booking. Her communication was seamless, friendly and prompt. I trusted her immensely due to how well she communicated with us. Planning the wedding was a breeze. While the hotel has great wedding packages to offer, they were always flexible if we had questions whether it be around hors d'oeuvres selections, food allergies, beverage selections, floor plans, etc. I always felt true attention and care to make sure we had the wedding we envisioned. The Hotel is stunningly beautiful, the rooms are clean and updated (a bit small but that's okay), the front desk was SO friendly to all of our guests, the restaurant and bar staff were kind and attentive, housekeeping staff was fast and very friendly, and the location in downtown Charleston is perfect. The reservations team was extremely helpful with our room block details, and Danielle and Patty were always quick to respond. Our wedding was for only about 55 guests, so our ceremony was on the Meeting Street Terrace, Cocktail Hour in Queen Street Gallery and reception in the Signer's Ballroom. All spaces were well maintained and beautiful. The banquet staff was extremely friendly and the food was fantastic. The server who took care of us at the sweetheart table was so polite and professional and made sure we always had what we needed before we asked. The valet/bellmen were also so helpful and patient as my husband and I had a lot to carry in when we first arrived. I can't say enough positive things about The Mills House and especially Katelin, along with the rest of the staff. I highly recommend hosting your wedding here!

    Best Party EVER!

    We were lucky enough to have our planner suggest Mills House for my granddaughter's Bat Mitzvah party. It was amazing! Best party ever! The party rooms we used were perfect for our guests. The staff was helpful and very professional. They even helped me find my shoes after dancing! The food was spectacular. It is a beautiful venue and so convenient to everything in Charleston. I had to have a last minute dinner for surprise out-of-town guests and they immediately came to my rescue in the Barbados Room. No one knew this was thrown together in 2 days! It was flawless. Our Mills House coordinator was always available for any questions and she was knowledgeable, professional and fun! She took the stress out of this big event. I didn't worry about anything. The guest rooms were lovely. I have another granddaughter having a Bat Mitzvah and we will absolutely use the Mills House.

    A great choice

    We are so happy that we chose the Mills House for our November 2021 wedding reception. From the moment we first inquired about availability to the moment we checked out from the hotel after our wedding, Katelin (the wedding/events manager) and the entire Mills House team were there for us and executed a flawless event. The food was amazing (we may be biased, but, seriously, the food was terrific-- huge thanks to the chefs and kitchen team); the set-up was perfect; the hotel staff were always helpful and accommodating-- even with last minute requests; and the reception/events team were kind and helpful. None of it would have happened without Katelin. We could not thank her enough for all that she did. From responding promptly to numerous emails to taking time to show us around the Mills House (at least three times) to making sure we had a place to just sit quietly before the reception (with food and bev, too!) to everything else that was needed for the actual reception, she was unfailingly helpful, thoughtful, kind, and prompt. Finally, an added perk: the location is great, particularly for any out-of-town wedding guests who choose to stay there and don't have a car but want to explore Charleston.

    The Mills House is Magical

    Boston here! Thank you Mills House for creating the Most Magical Event of our Lives. When I walking in 2 years ago I canceled my other venue meetings. Special thanks to Katelin Our Event Coordinator she is professional, kind, fair and so hardworking. Every staff member, cook, server, bartender, valet worker, and front desk. Their smiles never dropped and every time I entered a room they made me feel so special. We had a unique vision with our “HalloWedding” and katelin made my dream come to life. I would choose the Mills House every time if I had to replan this. My guests were in awe and have not stopped talking about the food and drinks. The venue is magical even the Rain backup plan made me feel so comfortable that if anything happened I was taken care of. We can’t wait to return and plan on staying every couple years to relive such a special occasion. From the bottom of my heart Thank you xx The happiest Bride

    Memorable Rehearsal Dinner

    We worked with Katelin, the Wedding and Social Events Manager, at
    The Mills House to reserve the Planters Suite for our son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner for 24 adults and 2 children. The venue was beautiful, and Katelin provided helpful advice as we selected the entrees, appetizers, and room layout. On the evening of the event, the Banquet Manager and his staff provided excellent, friendly service. All of the food was delicious and many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the appetizers and their meals. It was a perfect evening!

    Amazing location and team!

    Absolutely wonderful! There are not enough words to express how amazing Alicia and her team was to us during our wedding planning process. They were a dream to work with! Every moment of our wedding day was perfect! Highly, highly recommend booking the Mills House for any event. We had so many hurdles during our planning process with postponing and COVID restrictions and Alicia always made me feel taken care of and covered 1000%. She is AMAZING!! The location and convenience to everything made our whole wedding weekend seamless. All of our guests have not stopped raving about The Mills House! The food was fabulous! The team that worked during our wedding was so wonderful and friendly. We had a blast with them all night! I seriously can’t say enough good things about The Mills House venue and team. Thank you for making our wedding feel like a magical dream. You all are THE BEST!!

    Wonderful experience!

    PERFECT SPOT for about 50-60 people! Most of our guests were from out of town so it was very easy and relaxed. The ceremony was rooftop overlooking 4 corners of law, and reception was on the second level with our own private elegant entrance. Plenty of choices for gorgeous formal portraits - our favorite was on a beautiful cobblestone street next to the park. I heard rave reviews of our food stations and Katelin Hancock served as our planner. Everything was truly spectacular!! Katelin was on top of everything and made me so comfortable so I could enjoy myself as MOB. I recommend Katelin and the Mills House highly!! Great job Katelin - many thanks to you and your team! Stay safe! ;-))

    Alicia makes all dreams come true!

    I would highly highly recommend this venue. Working with Alicia made the stress of planning so much easier. As a COVID bride who’s wedding was postponed two weeks before it was to happen, I know first hand of their flexibility, safety, and ability to cope with stressors that may get thrown their way. If you want a truly magical night that will have your guests enjoying every minute, know that this is a perfect venue option!

    Gorgeous Venue

    We held our reception at the Mills House and we are so happy that we did! Stunning venue, amazing food, friendly staff. I worked with Alicia for a year planning the reception and she was fantastic. She answered every email and phone call and never made me feel like I asked silly questions. I wouldn't change one thing about the reception. It was flawless.

    My wedding and reception were both at The Mills House and it was beautiful! Jenny Kress handled my wedding event and she did an incredible job going above and beyond! My ceremony was outside in the courtyard and my reception was on the 2nd floor in the Planter's Suite. The Mills House staff was friendly, polite and helpful during planning, and throughout my entire event. Not only was everyone great but their catering was in house and all the food was amazing! I highly recommend having your wedding at The Mills House!

    The Mills House is even a great event location for a small wedding. They came through and reached out to me with their eagerness to accommodate a small wedding. The event coordinator is great to work with. The room looked amazing. Melissa was on top of things and pulled everything together in the end. The staff on the day of the wedding was awesome!! Food was great and they are willing to go above and beyond to make you truly feel special. I cannot say enough. If you want a beautiful wedding, but have only a few guests or even a destination wedding - I recommend this location!!!

    Melissa Joseph and the event staff at the Mills House were wonderful! Melissa was extremely helpful in both the planning process and most importantly, the day of my daughter's wedding. Melissa was so attentive that had I not met the other bridal party at the hotel that weekend, I would have thought my daughter's wedding was Melissa's only responsibility. I am so happy that we chose to hold our event at the Mills House . . . .I would not change a thing!

    Melissa and her staff did a wonderful job for our wedding reception and dinner. The courtyard looked beautiful for the ceremony. Reggie and his crew did an amazing job on the dinner service. All of our guests had a wonderful time and many of them said it was the best wedding reception food and dinner ever. We have to agree!

    Charleston is a second home to me and I have always dreamed of getting married there. The Mill's house was a dream come true! They were very professional, incredibly organized and a pleasure to work with. Melissa and Sara were fabulous to work with. The entire planning process was such a fun experience as they were very helpful and not pushy in any way. Our wedding day was perfect and they were very on top of everything! The whole reception ran flawlessly. My husband and I returned for our one year anniversary and to no surprise they were outstanding once again! I love the Mill's House and think it is the best wedding venue in Charleston!

    Melissa Joseph and her team at the Mills House were a dream to work with in every way--and the Barbados Room and courtyard area were absolutely beautiful for our reception. The Mills House staff is thorough, responsive, and very pleasant to work with. Melissa walked us through every aspect of our reception, from food to the timing of events (dances, cake cutting, etc), and coordinated with all of our vendors. We felt so taken care of, loved the quality of the food (as did our guests!), and used many of Melissa's great suggestions for vendors or fun personal touches throughout the evening. We found their prices to be reasonable for the area and very worthwhile for the results that you and your guests get to enjoy. The day-of coordination that the Mills House provides really gives peace of mind and is a tremendous value.

    We had our wedding reception at The Mills House hotel and we cannot say enough fantastic things about our event. Everything from the amazing staff, to the food and amenities. It was truly the perfect weekend and we could not have asked for anything more! If I had to say what really made our experience there a 5 out of 5, it was hands down the staff. Not only were they extremely friendly and welcoming, they were as professional and attentive as they come! We owe our fun & successful event to the people who made it happen! We HIGHLY recommend The Mills House!
