We had a small wedding (50 guests) and there aren’t that many venues willing to have a small Saturday wedding. Mill on the River has two banquet rooms- our room had a max capacity of around 75, and the other room was for large weddings (don’t know max capacity, sorry!). There was another wedding in the big room that day (plus they are an actual restaurant and it was Saturday evening) but the team at the Mill made us feel like our wedding was the only thing happening that day!
The grounds are so beautifully landscaped and the reception room was so rustic and beautiful, I didn’t have to spend money on extra decorations- just the favors and flowers for the tables!
The food there is AMAZING! We went the buffet route so people could just pick and choose what they wanted, and then we had passed hors d'oeuvres and cheese/cracker table. Our guests absolutely raved about how good all the food was!
So we got the beautiful wedding we wanted, and our guests all left with happy bellies, so it was a win for everyone!

I cannot stress enough how amazing The Mill on the River is. The grounds are gorgeous, the food is AMAZING and the staff is unlike any other group of people I’ve ever met. We had our wedding there last Saturday and literally every single aspect was perfect. Laura, Alexis and Shayla helped with all of the planning and day of and were beyond accommodating to all of our requests. We got the premiere package In the “rafter room” which included so much incredible food and was so reasonably priced compared to other venues I researched. I am so glad I found them, I will always have the most beautiful memories of a picture perfect day, not to mention a heck of a party.

We loved our experience with Mill on the River. The space is beautiful, the food was delicious (people can't stop talking about it), and the service was amazing. We had a last-minute delay, and the staff was exceptionally accommodating. Shayla and Laura are lovely to work with, and we are so glad we chose to work with them!

I have had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant on several occasions this year as I prepared for my wedding in August - which was also here - and have always been treated very well with attentive service and the utmost professionalism.
The food on the restaurant side is amazing. It is worth the price and has shown to be consistent in quality, flavor, and appearance.

The wedding food, while understandably a tad lower in quality of flavor when compared to attending for the restaurant, was still wonderful and displayed well. Their packages for large parties is very reasonable and their bar service is #1!
I want to give a special thank you to Laura (the event coordinator), the managers, as well as the staff.

Laura was very responsive by both email and phone. She also listened and covered every one of our concerns - particularly our fear that we wouldn't get to eat! We always had a drink with her. She bustled me - even though I hadn't gotten a bustle - with safety pins. She saw us out to the end of the night as we were her last wedding that day. The day wouldn't have been so smooth without her!

The managers, in the times that Laura was unavailable, were also attentive in her stead with the same courtesies she offered. Although I did not have as much contact with them, their professionalism and care for their customers came through in their demeanor.
To the rest of the staff that helped us make every moment: thank you for being fun but still professional, listening to when we had a special occasion for eating there and the surprise treats, the prompt and attentive service, and keeping the fine dining atmosphere of the location!

For those who may be considering weddings or special events at this location, I highly recommend the Mill - they have shown me great integrity in my business with them and in my experience, their recommended vendors show the same. Our DJ, Sean Childs, photographers of Paul Nash Photography, and hotel shuttle offered by the Courtyard by Marriott-Hartford/Windsor operated so smoothly and have worked with the Mill for a long time and I just wanted to recommend them as well. The DJ and photographers are so creative and work well with each other and understood how to operate with Laura on a rough timeline. The room block was great and the shuttle knew where to go and was on time. Smoothest wedding ever!

As soon as we saw the Mill we knew we wanted to get married here. The setting is so cozy and inviting and it's so beautiful in the summer. There were 60 guests at our wedding and the room was perfect, with beautiful views of the waterfall. Everyone complimented us on the food and it was the best wedding they've ever been to. Laura was very helpful and did everything to make us happy. The wait staff is phenomenal and even the folks who set the room up used everything I brought and it all looked beautiful. The only thing I would change is you can see the parking lot from the gazebo and when we got pics walking to the gazebo there are cars in the background. Other than that, the place was awesome!

I searched online for venues in the area and as soon as I found “The Mill on the River” it was the one. I toured other venues but nothing compared. The day we toured this venue I knew I had to book it. We cannot wait to get married at the venue!

Mill on the river is our favorite restaurant so it only seemed fitting that we had our wedding there. It was absolutely perfect we had our ceremony under the gazebo and the reception upstairs. Everything was taken care of for us & our guests from start to finish. The food was as delicious as it is in the dining room! We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue!

We got married 8/12/17 and had a fabulous ceremony and reception. Before the wedding, during all of the booking/arranging/planning/etc., Laura and Alexa in the office were responsive, helpful, and professional. Laura handled our wedding closely. Whenever my groom and I had questions, they would never fail to answer them (even if during the wedding week, we called maybe a dozen times). Laura made sure that all of the tables, décor, and everything were perfection (nothing less). The ceremony was beautiful and everyone worked together to make it perfectly timed. Food was excellent, brought out promptly after the toasts, and everyone was well fed! Shout out to Cathleen, the bartender. She was a rock star all night. Would highly recommend!

I have always loved Mill on the River and as soon as I got engaged I knew there was no other place I wanted to get married at. Mill was the only place we looked at because there was no competition in our eyes.
We met with Laura 2 years before our wedding date to start the process and she made every part of the planning process extremely easy.
In regards to setting up as a Bride all you need to do is bring them all your decorations, favors, etc. the day before the wedding telling them how you want it to look and they take care of the rest. Come wedding day I arrived before the ceremony and was able to see everything before anyone else just to make sure it was how I envisioned.
The staff at the reception were beyond amazing! They were all attentive and very nice to myself, my husband and my guests.
To any Bride who is considering this venue I recommend to look at the landscape and the pictures of previous weddings that have taken place there and you will see why so many previous couples have chose the Mill to be the start of a very important journey.

This was our 1st choice out of 5 that we looked at and I am so happy we went with The Mill! We originally considered it because we LOVE their food and the atmosphere there. We were concerned that the quality would suffer when doing such a large event but boy were we wrong- the food was superb and everyone is still raving about it. Laura the event manager at The Mill is great and very accommodating. The only things that could potentially be negatives were that the dance floor is situated in a way that's hard to see when people are sitting to eat or trying to watch the 1st dance and there was slightly poor communication day the day of the wedding which led to some confusion but truthfully those things were not enough to detract from us giving them a 5 star review. The Mill on the River is perfect place to start the rest of your lives.
