Get married at Mill Race!

We are so happy that we chose Mill Race Village for our wedding ceremony. We planned to have our ceremony in front of the gazebo, but the weather had other plans. It was such a relief to have the chapel as our backup plan. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and we got so many amazing photos that we will treasure for years to come. Plus, my husband’s parents got to recreate their wedding photo from 35 years prior! Wendy and Suemarie were great to work with and made the day-of decision to move the ceremony a breeze. We highly recommend having your wedding ceremony at Mill Race Village!

We used Mill Race Village as our ceremony site. We had picked this site because you rent the whole village so you can either use the church or have an outdoor ceremony at the gazebo. My husband really wanted an outdoor wedding but I was only ok with that if we had a solid back up. As it turned out, it was over 100 degrees on the wedding so we ended up using the air conditioned chapel. It was very nice and I got a lot of comments on how cute and unique the property was. I highly recommend Mill Race Village!
