My husband Benjamin and I absolutely loved our experience with the team at Champion Mill. From start to finish, everything was seamless. We worked with Marla, who was such a sweetheart—she genuinely took the time to listen to us and bring our vision to life. Setup and takedown were very flexible, which made things so much easier and we never felt rushed.

We only toured this location because we already knew it was exactly what we wanted because it had everything in one place. We’d attended events here before, dined and drank at Hydraulic Bar and Municipal Brewery many of times. We were also members of The Nook Fitness Center before moving. Plus, having an on-site hotel made it perfect for our out-of-state guests.

The food and beverage experience was fantastic—we had no complaints at all. I’ve already recommended Champion Mill to several couples, whether for their ceremony, reception, or both like we did. Our ceremony took place in Waterfront Hall, and our reception was held in the Butler Ballroom. The bridal suites were also wonderful; with a bridal party of twenty, the rooms got a little warm, but that was to be expected. We had guests arrive early and during the 30 min wait after the ceremony to the reception, a lot went to the Hydraulic Bar. When our reception ended, many of us continued the party at Hydraulic Bar as well!

The lighting was perfect for photos and videos, especially along the water during golden hour, which was absolutely beautiful. I’ve attached plenty of pictures to show just how stunning it was.

Thank you to the staff again, our day was absolutely wonderful.

Fantastic venue! This venue is so beautiful and so unique. I couldn’t have imagined a better place for us to host our special day in July. The staff and leaders at champion mill were incredible! They made the process so smooth and so easy. Also the food was delicious. Thank you champion mill for making the most important day of our lives thus far so amazing.
