Amazing venue and staff

I can't say enough wonderful things about Millpond Gatherings. From the day we booked the venue, the event coordinator Lory was amazing. She was professional, supportive, kind and responsive to questions. She made the process smooth and easy.
On the wedding day, the staff was attentive and professional and even joined in on some dancing with us. It's so great to see such a dedicated staff especially since now a days that seems hard to come by.

And the food...simply amazing! We received so many compliments about how good the food was and how much there was to select from.

I highly recommend this venue for your big day, you won't be disappointed!!

The Perfect Day!

MillsPond Gathering is an excellent wedding venue. My guest were raving about their experience at my wedding for weeks to come. From the beautiful venue both outside and inside, the place turned out stunning on my wedding day. The Staff were always just an email away with any questions or thought I had leading up to the big day. The food was 10/10, cannot say enough about how spectacular everything tasted. MissPond Gathering met every expectation of the modern/rustic style wedding that I always wanted. I highly recommend this venue to any future brides!

Amazing Day

The day was absolutely perfect. It was not stressful or overwhelming, thanks to Lory and her team. We could not have asked for more from the staff or grounds. Thank you so much, Millpond, for helping to make this already special day, so much more magical.

Gorgeous venue needs new management

Horrific experience planning the wedding. Management is horrible. We books 9 months ago and had zero idea of what was going on till 2 weeks ago where they dropped bombshells on us. As a full service event venue I expect WAYY more. Staff were rude and unprofessional. We got married yesterday, food was great and again the venue is gorgeous but the lead up to the wedding is a miss for me unfortunately
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
