The McKinney Cotton Mill

From the minute my mom, dad and now husband drove up to The Cotton Mill, we were blown away. Everything from the brick to the distressed wood to the abundance of greenery and ivy was stunning, and we were all quickly in agreement that we did not need to look any further for our wedding venue. Not only was the venue itself immediately impressive, but Erin (the venue coordinator) was also wonderful even prior to meeting - we had previously visited another venue where my parents felt rushed and under-informed. Erin quickly made the four of us feel welcome and took all time needed to answer any questions we may have had.

Throughout the year and a half of planning our wedding, I was definitely a bride with a lot of questions - Erin always responded quickly and efficiently to my calls and emails, and she helped me to troubleshoot any and all small problems that I encountered along the way (even when they were not directly related to the venue itself). She truly went out of her way to ensure our day was PERFECT. The Mill is beautiful in and of itself, but working with Erin was truly the other half of what made our experience there so wonderful.

As for The Cotton Mill as a wedding venue . . . we had wedding guests traveling in from New York, California, Las Vegas, Florida, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Colorado, Arkansas . . . you name it. Every single guest commented on how stunning the Mill was on our wedding day. The combination of brick and ivy in the dye room (despite being late October), the gorgeous courtyard upon arrival, the grounds around back of the venue and the gorgeous unfinished indoor space all come together to create a unique, beautiful space. I could not have imagined our wedding anywhere else, and our guests all felt comfortable amidst the beauty of the venue. Thank you Erin and Darla for our dream venue and our dream day! Love, The Drinans (Julie and Zak)

The Cotton Mill was the PERFECT place for our wedding, not just because of the amazing space itself, but because of the fantastic people that came with it! Erin was especially helpful; she was honestly a huge reason why we went with TCM. She was available for any questions we had, and we were able to go in and look at the space pretty much whenever we needed to do so. The space itself was gorgeous and required very minimal decoration from us. It was the perfect size; people could dance and get their groove on in the reception space, or take a walk in the Grand Hallway or the Dye Room if they needed a little quiet. There is really nowhere else I could imagine our wedding having been.

We got married on 2.17.18 at The Cotton Mill and it was simply perfect! The venue is naturally gorgeous so I didnt have to stress about additional decor. I also took my bridal portraits on site and I am thrilled with how they turned out. I loved the rustic feel of the venue. The Bridal Suite on site was super convenient and a great place for the girls to hang out all day and do hair and make up. They have great relationships with local vendors and helped direct me to the ones that would help my vision come true. Erin is FANTASTIC (hire her to coordinate your day!) I dont know what I would have done without her! It was such a beautiful day! Thanks for everything!
