Great 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!

Beautiful intimate elopement!

My husband and I decided to elope at the Corley Mill House and Gardens. We had a small ceremony in front of the house mid October. Despite the possibility for rain everything turned out perfectly. Charlie, our wedding coordinator, was such a beautiful soul. She made sure we felt so relaxed and at ease. Best of all she was so flexible with our changing details as my husband is a marine with an ever changing schedule. Everything from the grounds to the southern charm of the house was spectacular!

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!

It was a pleasure working with Shirley and the wedding coordinator at Corley Mill House. Everyone on staff did an amazing job and was beyond sweet. The price was very reasonable and the food was amazing. I highly recommend the Carnitas Taco Station and the cider and mustard based pork tenderloin sauces and slider rolls. We can't thank the staff enough for making our day amazing and we would be happy to recommend this venue to anyone.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
