The venue was perfect for a small gathering with our 20 guest. It can hold a max of 70 people comfortably. It was so beautiful in the fall for our rustic wedding!

We had a beautiful outdoor ceremony and reception on the patio. Our guests all really loved the venue. It was a little tight with 65 people, but we loved having the versatility of the yard, the patio, and indoors. Staff was friendly and helpful and very flexible with changing our hours. Couldn’t have made a better choice!

Cabell's Mill was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding! We had a very small ceremony held on the back veranda and the reception was inside. We only had 30 guests so it was truly perfect.

Zane and the staff were very friendly and easy to work with. Thanks!

Cabell's Mill is a beautiful venue. I got married there at the end of October and the fall colors were stunning! I was very lucky to be able to have an outdoor wedding. We had our ceremony on the stone patio. The venue is a little small (probably best for 75 people, we had about 90) but it is quite charming. You have to make an appointment in order to see the inside since the Mill isn't generally open to the public, but the Historic Properties and Rental Services department of Fairfax County was responsive to my inquires and everything went smoothly on the day. There are some excellent photo opportunities around the grounds and across the road by the pond. This is a great venue for an outdoor wedding.

Charming venue, our wedding pictures are so beautiful! It's a big challenge for a crowd more than 60, since you have to split the reception between inside and outside. But the place is of great value, and the view is breathtaking! Zane, the contact person for the venue, responds email on time and is very professional.

We held our very small family-only wedding at Cabell's Mill in November and it was the perfect venue for the size of our wedding. We held both the ceremony and the small cake and drinks reception in the building and we had more than enough space. I wish the chairs had been a little nicer, though!

I loved having my wedding ceremony and reception at Cabell's Mill! We were so lucky and had a beautiful day in early October. The weather was sunny and 75 degrees with the leaves beginning to change. My husband and I chose Cabell's Mill because it was close to our house and we love hiking and the outdoors. It was perfect for our personality. It was also a lot cheaper then other venues. You are able to pick all your vendors and provide your own alcohol which saves a lot of money. There are tons of great places to take photos too. It's great to have the option of both indoor and outdoor for guests when the weather permits which it did for ours!

The only downside is the regulations that they have regarding set-up and tear-down. They require everything to be put up and taken down the same day which can result in extra charges from vendors to work after hours. However, they will make some exceptions if you ask. I had a lot of questions and was emailing them a lot. They were very prompt in responding. I worked with Zane a lot and he was great.

A perfect place for a small, intimate wedding. My fiance and I have a lot of memories in Centreville. Naturally, we wanted to get married there too! Cabell's Mill has the perfect backdrop with it's historical setting and scenery. Everyone of our guests were amazed at how beautiful everything was. The staff is very helpful and responsive before and during my rental. I highly suggest having your wedding here!

Cabell's Mill was the perfect venue for our 45 guest wedding. We used the outdoor space for the ceremony and the inside (upper floor) for the reception. Everyone commented on how beautiful the setting was, and it made a great backdrop for photos as well.
Be aware that it can be hard to reach people, i.e. they are not in the office on Mondays.
The reason I can't give this a five star rating is that the Airco broke down the day of our wedding, which was in August, so the place was really, really hot. Bummer because we'd booked that venue for the reason it is airconditioned. We did get a full refund and they installed fans all over the place.
All in all, we were more than happy with the venue and I'd highly recommend it.

We were married here in June, with hopes of having an outdoor ceremony and reception. This place is BEAUTIFUL at any time of year and the setting is what makes it so special (read: INCREDIBLE photo ops outside). The mill is small and would be ideal for a wedding with less than 75 people. However, we had 100 and managed well with the (mandatory) tent outside.


The only reason we're giving a 4-star rating is because it is somewhat of a hassle to coordinate with the managing company and your vendors for site visits. Don't get me wrong: the managing company (Historic Properties Rental Service) is very responsive to emails. However, they only have someone on site 1-2 times a week (generally before a rental, so you will only be allowed in the building for about an hour), so you have to plan well in advance. I found it easiest to ask them what days/times Cabell's Mill would be open, then ask the vendor if they would be available at that time.


But affordable and WELL WORTH IT! Added bonus: we can stop by whenever we want for picnics and could eventually take our children here, too!
