The Mill is incredible

This venue was INCREDIBLE! Emily always went above and beyond to make sure the wedding was exactly what we wanted. The bar tenders were so attentive and awesome as well. We planned this wedding in the midst of the pandemic and they made sure we did everything correct while still being able to have the wedding we dreamed of. They helped us find vendors (and even more when those vendors weren’t as helpful during the pandemic) and were willing to intervene if needed. Multiple guest complimented the venue because it was absolutely beautiful. I would absolutely recommend this venue!

The Mill Made My Wedding Romantic

I hosted my wedding at The Mill on 10.6.18. It was the greatest day of my life!! I knew it was the place for me from the beginning. The venue was never in questions. The entire event staff was overly attentive and made sure every request I had was seen too. They also helped me through some of the details I didn't even know how to manage. The provided me prices for their rentals but wasn't pushy for me to get them through them, which to me was the best part. In the entire process you just have sooo many people hawking all their crap they want you to get through them and they are aggressive about it. So it was refreshing that The Mill laid it all out in black and white and let me make the choices. And the things I added on last min she handled perfectly.

Of course now let’s talk about the rain..

I knew it was going to rain weeks in advance. But truly part of the beauty in renting The Mill was that it was never a problem. Between the roof over the pavilion, the ceremony being inside, and the silo/porch are we were all set. The day of when the temperature dropped and the clouds moved in, Emily was right there to help get the fire pits uncovered and started up. Between the rain and the gas heaters it was absolutely romantic. The scene could not have been set better. Garden lights hanging low, good tunes floating in the air, and booze flowing freely... Truly a blessing of a day!

Emily B. the director of event, I cannot say enough about how wonderful she was. And if she was ever stressing, she never showed it. She was incredible and delightful and I couldn’t have done it without her!

If you're getting married in Abilene there is no debate. Nothing, absolutely NOTHING compares!! I appreciate everything they did. The staff was great as was the

10 out of 10 experience!

The coordinator was very accessible and a good listener. She did a good job of validating our ceremony and reception ideas. The venue is gorgeous and does not need that much decor at all. We felt so comfortable in the venue and it was truly a dream.
