Provence Mills Event Center

My wife and I had been planning to renew our vows on our 25th anniversary and plans kept changing as to where we were going to do them at and how to celebrate afterward due to everything going on in the world as of late…it was just going to be a very intimate affair with just our kids involved. We learned of a new venue opening soon in Girard, OH—Provence Mills, and they were more than inviting and compassionate to the challenges we were facing trying to plan our special day. Kara and Slavenca, the co-owners and event planners, couldn’t have possibly done a finer job hosting us after our ceremony. They purposefully set-up two separate seating areas—one overlooking a spectacular view of a wooded valley to enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres; the other within a really cool steel structure to enjoy our main meal. And the food! The hors d’oeuvres were nothing short of spectacular—artichokes romano and bacon-wrapped filets, followed, at our own pace, with scallops, ahi tuna, caprese salad, and prosciutto-wrapped asparagus as our main course. They finished-off the evening with a replica of our wedding cake, which was such a special touch! The whole evening was unforgettable, and my wife and I remarked that it might have actually been better than our actual wedding day festivities, because we could just relax and enjoy ourselves. We didn’t have the pressure of greeting guests and “putting on a show”. Kara’s and Slavenca’s attention to detail was ridiculous! They didn’t miss a thing and they secretly worked with our daughter to have pictures from our original wedding sitting in tasteful frames around the respective seating areas. That was so nice! It really took us back to that day. Before dinner, they arranged to play our wedding song, which gave me the chance to dance with my wife again. They also arranged to have a photographer there to capture the moments as we arrived and interacted with our adult kids throughout the evening. It was just such a great and special evening for us. We didn’t know what to expect, as we left the whole evening in Kara’s hands to coordinate…if they do for a bigger event what they did for us, you’ll be extremely happy. Simply amazing!

You will be blown away by the remodel! This place is breathtaking and so chic! Love everything about the experience. The owners are AMAZING and the food is so flavorful and beautifully presented! This is a real diamond in the rough!

When my husband and I arrived at Provence Mills Event Center, we were blown away. We knew it would be beautiful, but it was stunning! From the set up and presentation of all the food, wonderful service, awesome bar area, and outdoor space- it exceeded our expectations. And their caterer, Cafe 422 had the most delicious spread of foods. We look forward to enjoying more celebrations at Provence Mills in the future!

This venue provided my husband and I with a beautiful, private sunset dinner. The decor and flowers were perfect. It was a perfect, relaxing evening. We were able to relax on a comfortable sofa and enjoy appetizers, drinks, and watch the sunset. Music played in the background, and the food was delicious. We had the most amazing desserts too! The venue provided top notch service during our dinner. Planning the dinner was so simple, and the team was very detail-oriented. I highly recommend their services!

My experience with Provence Mills in Girard, Ohio for my 25th anniversary vow renewal celebration was nothing short of amazing. I had been following the renovation of this unique and beautiful French country/industrial vibe event location on Instagram and their website. Having heard my situation of a cancelled ceremony and celebration combined with unsuccessful attempts to reschedule this event, Kara, one of the owners of Provence Mills, approached me and offered to host this event at Provence Mills. While not quite open, the renovation of the space and the owners were more than ready to handle our intimate event. My husband and I were immediately thankful, tearful, and appreciative. This event was so meaningful to us as we celebrated our first 25 years and embraced the future of our marriage. Kara’s offer allowed us to schedule this event and experience one of the most beautiful memories in our marriage on the actual day of our silver anniversary, June 17th!

We had our ceremony in Pittsburgh and the venue was so convenient – so Ohio or PA – look no further than Provence Mills for your special event. Kara was fabulous to work with. She is caring, creative, trustworthy, organized, and has attention to detail like I’ve never experienced. She asked all the right questions, listened intently, took careful notes, and offered unique ideas. Kara coordinated and provided services from her extensive network of wedding-related businesses (catering, bakeries, photography, calligraphy, and etc.) in order to customize our special day. Once we discussed a plan, she took it from there and offered regular updates and checked in for confirmations as needed. Working with Kara made it not only fun, but extremely stress free. Take it from me and my Type A personality, I did not worry- I simply enjoyed the moments leading up to a special celebration with my husband and children. I knew after working with Kara and her lovely business partner Slavenca, that my event was in the hands of sweet, caring, and extremely capable professionals.

When I arrived at Provence Mills, what I saw brought tears of joy and awe to my eyes. The space in which we relaxed with our children and enjoyed amazing appetizers and a delicious five-star meal transported me to a beautiful resort-like atmosphere. We decided to have our event outdoors and the view and sunset was simply breathtaking. The entire evening was well-paced and well-orchestrated. There was as a nod to our original wedding cake as dessert – Kara contacted a bakery and they recreated our wedding cake which I never got to eat at our first wedding! The dinner space had personalized menus, pictures of us, a photographer there upon arrival to capture the moment, and many other personal touches that made the event special. We even got to dance to our original wedding song. I can’t say enough about this gorgeous venue and extremely talented event planners - Kara and Slavenca! I highly recommend Provence Mills – you will be so glad you chose them
