The Mill at Manor Falls is a wedding venue located in Millersville, Pennsylvania. This restored flour mill is a historical gem in the Lancaster area, and now offers a rustic yet elegant setting for soon-to-be-weds. The scenic grounds are surrounded by flourishing woods by the creekside for outside nuptials or nature-inspired photo sessions.

Facilities and Capacity

The Mill at Manor Falls has enough indoor space to hold weddings and receptions with as many as 150 guests, or as few as 10. Originally built in 1831, the mill was lovingly restored and renovated in 2018, when it became open to the public. Outside of the big day, the event space can be used for wedding showers, engagement parties, and rehearsal dinners. The main reception hall features visible wood beams and a quaint brick fireplace, with get-ready rooms and a gallery on the second floor. The entire indoor space is climate-controlled and suitable for any season. The outdoor area features a romantic stone path to lead you through the lush woods to a breathtaking waterfall, ideal for photo opportunities or as a unique backdrop to say your vows. The main outdoor venue space sits on manicured lawns with a picturesque view of the forest, with an old stone bridge crossing over Little Conestoga Creek. A rustic arch sits in front of the forest, and can be decorated with your personal touches to match your theme. The location is only minutes away from downtown Lancaster, which has plenty of accommodations, restaurants, and historical landmarks.

Services Offered

The team at the Mill at Manor Falls only hosts one event per day, making you free to enjoy the private, secluded estate. Tables and chairs will be provided for you, and will be set up to any indoor or outdoor arrangement you want. Parking is available on site for your guests' convenience, along with wheelchair accessibility and shuttle services. You will be free to select the caterer you want, and the staff will have a list of their favorite vendors for inspiration. On the wedding day, a venue host will be present throughout the event to make sure that everything goes smoothly.

The perfect venue!

The Mill at Manor Falls went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for in a venue! While I was searching for a venue, we wanted something that was rustic without necessarily being a barn. I immediately fell in love with the stone architecture while my husband fell in love with the secret waterfall hidden away. The owners were always extremely accommodating and answered my questions quickly. We had around 90 guests and the entire space felt very spacious for us as our guests utilized the main reception space but the outdoor patio and fire pit space as well. The bridal suite is also incredible! Overall I couldn’t be any happier with the venue as it was everything I wanted and then some!!!

Great rustic venue (that isn't a barn)

We were looking for a venue that had both outdoor and indoor spaces with a rustic feel that wasn't a barn. The Mill checked all of these boxes AND had a beautiful waterfall. Our photographer and videographer all were stunned by how beautiful the property was. Jen (the venue manager) was great to work with and always answered questions promptly. We wanted to use the space for our welcome dinner on Friday night (the night before the wedding) and she was gracious enough to let us book it for a discounted price in January (for a May wedding) instead of the typical 90 days out, which was great! Even when we had to go to a slight backup plan due to weather (moving the ceremony from the creek to the pergola due to muddy conditions) they were quick to help us make the changes needed. The staff made sure our event went off without a hitch and were always super accommodating. I couldn't recommended the Mill enough to anyone in the area!

Nasser and Savannah Wedding

We had our wedding at The Mill at Manor Falls and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The venue has both indoor and outdoor spaces, and the outdoor area where we had our ceremony was absolutely stunning—the views were incredible and made for the perfect backdrop.

The staff was amazing throughout the entire process. There was always a host on-site, they responded quickly to all our emails, and our final meeting really helped us feel organized and much less stressed heading into the big day. They also handled all the setup and breakdown between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dancing, which made everything feel seamless and let us actually enjoy the day.

I’d definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful space and a team that really takes care of you.

Amazing venue, amazing wedding

The Mill at Manor Falls was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. From the moment we first inquired, their communication was clear, quick, and incredibly friendly. The venue itself is simply gorgeous - a historic, elegant space that provided a beautiful backdrop for our special day. The team ensured the transitions between events were seamless, allowing us and our guests to fully immerse ourselves in the celebration. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to tie the knot. We highly recommend The Mill at Manor Falls to any couple looking for a truly special wedding experience.

So beautiful & easy to work with!

The Mill was wonderful!!!! We got married here on 8/10/24. We met in Lancaster and wanted to get married in the area but neither of us lived there long and we currently live out of state, so we had no experience with venues or vendors in the area. Jen gave me a facetime tour instead! It looks exactly like the photos you see in reviews and even has a big beautiful upstairs level with brides & grooms suites for getting ready (and to serve as a rain plan area for cocktail hour) and a basement for catering to prep in. The Mill required very little extra decorations as the nature outside was beautiful and the Mill has some lights and garlands already hung inside. Pretty much all I had to add was my color flowers and signage. They also provided a list of vendors they recommend (but didn't require you to use). Being out of town, I chose to use mostly recommended ones since they were familiar with the Mill and they were all great as well! The Mill had plenty of parking and ADA friendly access for grandparents. We easily fit our 100 guests and a spacious dancefloor. Another favorite was the staircase for my entrance to the ceremony! There was so many great aspects to the Mill, I cannot recommend it enough!!!

Such a beautiful place!

When we were looking through different venues I came across The Mill At Manor Falls and very quickly decided this would be our place to get married. It is a stunning venue, there was plenty of space for our 120 guests and for the dancing! We had an outdoor ceremony by the pergola and it was beautiful. We also just adore seeing our pictures by the waterfall. They are affordable, easy to work with, so very responsive, and just overall in general provided us with such a great experience. They made the day of the wedding flow so easily and worked well with my Day of Coordinators. Highly recommend this wedding venue if you’re still looking!

Dream come true!!

The Mill at Manor Falls truly made the wedding of our dreams come true. Jenn, Laura and Rachel were all magnificent, they helped tremendously and were available every step of the way with quick responses. They were extremely easy to work with which helped take the stress off of us on the day. The venue is absolutely stunning and made a perfect setting for our winter New Years Eve wedding. I highly recommend this venue!

Stunning Place, Memorable Day!

Honestly if you are considering this place for your venue, please visit. Jen, the manager, was incredibly kind to us! The only venue we visited was the Mill, and we were so satisfied that we decided to go with it without seeing any other places on our list. They did not hide fees or extra costs, provided a staff member to help during the day, and were able to accommodate all of our needs. They made our day stress free, and we loved to see all of our family and friends stay long into the night, enjoying the beautiful property. We got married in June, and we still can't stop reminiscing over how wonderful it all was. Thank you guys so much!

The Mill was perfect

This venue absolutely helped to make my wedding day the best day ever. So many gorgeous outdoor areas for photos - waterfall, stone path through the woods, stone bridge by the creek, external stone and windows of the main building.. breathtaking! Laura and Jen were so easy to work with and will quickly answer any questions you might have. My final review meeting with Jen helped so much- you can tell they truly care about making your day flawless. My guest count was 115, which was perfect for us because indoor reception hall is on the smaller side. They also have a spacious bridal suite that was perfect for getting ready with my girls. There is a small room for the groom suite, so our guys preferred to hang out in the second floor area that has couches and a full kitchen. The firepit outside was a nice touch to utilize for our chilly October evening. I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone!
