We absolutely loved this venue. My husband and I had our wedding reception in Milltown's river venue. The beautiful wooden windows looking out to the river were absolutely stunning, and we received so many compliments from guests. We worked closely with Silvia who was extremely helpful and professional throughout the planning process. I highly recommend this venue!

We booked the River Venue. We had our ceremony last Friday outside with the river behind us. The night was lovely with the cocktail hour on the porch and reception inside. Many guests were from out of state and were very impressed with the natural beauty of Milltown. The reception hall needs minimal decorating because it's already adorned with cedar and rock. Many compliments on the beautiful venue. I am very happy with our choice to begin the rest of our lives here.

Stephanie was amazing! Everyone took such great care of us to make sure everything was perfect. We spent a good amount on the venue but we got so much more than other venues offered for the same price. We had a rehearsal space, ceremony location, reception venue and all the cabins slept our huge bridal part for the whole weekend!

Milltown Historic District is a diamond in the rough. Few people know about it's hidden existence right off 46 and 35 on the Guadalupe, but everyone who visits is extremely surprised by its beauty and picturesque hill country style. From the beautiful backdrop of the historic Faust bridge and waterfall on the Guadalupe river for your ceremony, to the upstairs gorgeous hill country designed reception hall, the entire venue is an absolute dream for outdoor lovers. Michelle and Diana are amazing women to work with and help you every step of the way by providing first class service and amenities for your entire event and special day. I could not recommend or stand behind another venue so highly. A major bonus is that the facility has cute little cottages all around it for your family and friends to rent and stay onsite with you after your event. This was a huge help when it came to breaking everything down and all of us continuing to share in our special day.

This venue is to die for and it's very affordable, considering all it offers. We absolutely LOVED having our wedding there! Michelle Whaley, our coordinator, made everything simple and stress-free. We followed her recommendations for caterer, photographer and DJ, all of which were great. The venue itself is easily accessible from Austin and San Antonio in beautiful historic New Braunfels, TX. It overlooks the Guadalupe River and a beautiful old bridge. We REALLY loved the convenience of their on-site cottages, too. Our wedding party stayed in them and it made things so easy for us with setting up and at the end of the evening. It's more affordable than Austin and San Antonio venues with a comparable setting and the staff are SO helpful and accommodating. Big thumbs up for Milltown Historic District Events Center!

This is a wonderful place. Our guests will be talking about it for a long time.
We have had many compliments on the venue.
The staff was very helpful, Michelle was great to work with.


Some of our guest had problems finding the venue with GPS, but the Milltown website has an accurate map. Anyone looking at the website will not have a problem finding it.

I love love love Milltown! This place is so naturally beautiful so we didn't have to add many of our own decorations. Diana and Michelle are the sweetest people and so easy to work with it. They make planning a wedding less stressful. I would recommend them to everyone I know!

The Gallery was perfect for my small reception. Stephanie was so helpful with all my questions. I did my own decorations and they let me come in the day before to set it all up. The day of they were there to help of I needed anything and stopped by to make sure everything was going smoothly through the night.
