A Wedding Better than Anything We Could Have Imagined!

From the very first meeting with Rebecca, our coordinator, to tour the Old Mill, we were blown away with her professionalism and the fell in love with the venue. The venue has multiple ceremony options to choose from, and the best part was that even the rain contingency was beautiful. Being an anxious planner, I thought that wedding planning would be super stressful, but the Queen of Hearts team was so on top of things and so well organized that they made the process fun and simple! They have so much experience that they could answer any questions we had, as well as give us advise to ensure that we had the information we needed to make decisions. The month before the wedding, so many friends and family asked how stressed we were, but we were confident in the Queen of Hearts team and totally calm! Rebecca was thorough and efficient, and kept the wedding party on task during the rehearsal to ensure everyone was extremely clear on the plan. She was also very proactive giving us options with the rain forecasted for our wedding day. Despite the rain, our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and a large part of that was because of the Queen of Hearts team. They kept everything on time, worked well with our other vendors, and delivered the most amazing food – most dinner plates were all clean at the reception, and so many guests raved about it! The chefs even met our request to make tiramisu for dessert, which was delicious!
I can not recommend The Old Mill or Queen of Hearts enough – we’ve gotten so many compliments on how wonderful our wedding was, but most of all, my husband and I had the BEST day. We are so appreciative to them for helping give us a wedding better than anything we could have imagined!

our wedding was perfect

The grounds, the building, the details, the trees, literally every single aspect of this venue is perfection. From sending an email and getting an immediate response, planning our wedding in under 6 months, to our rehearsal, the entire wedding day and picking up our stuff after, the team, catering company, Rebecca and Colette will take care of you. You’ll feel like they are only planning your wedding with how much time, thoughtfulness, extra details, honesty and helpfulness you’ll get from them. Colette was our wedding coordinator, we had a lot of questions, a lot of requests, big families, wanted to have a unique wedding and from the first meeting with her, she got it and us. I had zero stress, was not worried about anything at all. We had a perfect wedding day, perfect weather and I was able to enjoy every second! I recommend having your ceremony in the meadow, all options there are stunning though. Any weather, any season, any style you’re wanting, they can fulfill here. The reception space is huge, stage perfect for a large band like we had and also a DJ. We did both and the venue helped us transition that smoothly. Multiple bars, package options, it’s wheelchair and small kid friendly if needed. Our pictures, especially on film are magazine worthy because of where we were and we are not people who like pictures of ourselves. The old mill provides a setting that will be beyond any wedding dream you could have!

Our incredible May wedding!

The Old Mill is truly a venue that wows. We got married on May 26th, 2024, with The Old Mill and Queen of Hearts Catering, and our guests still tell us, months later, how beautiful and unique the property was, how delicious and different the food options were, and what an incredible time they had. From the beautiful wooded ceremony site, to the spacious grounds for breathtaking photos, and the quaint reception space to dance the night away, there is no chance you will have a less than perfect wedding day. Working with the Queen of Hearts staff was a breeze, with quick communication, comprehensive planning materials, and friendly day-of staff members. Rebecca and Regina were phenomenal and made our day such a breeze. And the day goes by quickly, so take it all in!

Very special day!!

The Old Mill was an absolutely perfect and picturesque place to have our wedding of about 165 people and everything went perfectly! Our ceremony was held on the beautiful, grassy grove area adjacent to the building (we lucked out with weather), cocktail area in the large covered patio, and reception inside the dining hall. Queen of Hearts Catering absolutely killed the food—we got many comments from guests on how much they enjoyed the food and the service was efficient and staff was very friendly. You can entrust your wedding with the Queen of Hearts!

I wish I could give more than five stars!

The catering team that works out of the old mill (Conner catering) helped us with EVERYTHING! I barely had to lift a finger. The location is so dreamy and was everything I envisioned and more. We couldn’t have picked a better place to get married. I can’t wait to get our wedding photos back and relive the day over and over!

The Old Mill was the PERFECT place for our wedding!

The Old Mill is Beautiful!!! We got so so so many compliments on our venue. The way it lights up when it is all decorated, is incredible. Having everything all in one space, but very different settings was a huge plus for us!! And The Conner Team was great! Don worked with us from the very beginning to capture the vibe we wanted for our wedding. He was so easy to work with, and obviously knew what he was doing. He was able to talk us through all the little things you might not think about with planning, but also really listened to what we wanted and helped us make it all possible. The behind the scenes team was great with quick email responses and INCREDIBLE food!!!! We loved having our wedding at the Old Mill.

Breathtaking venue!

As soon as we saw The Old Mill, Rose Valley my husband and I fell in love! This venue is so beautiful and unique. It matched my vision for a dream venue perfectly. The outdoor area offers so much beauty and photo opportunities. We got married outside in the gorgeous meadow and then had out cocktail hour in the stunning patio and pavilion. We loved the greenery filled patio with the stone arches so much . The reception area was AMAZING! We loved the vintage and romantic feel of the ballroom. Our guests kept coming up to us asking where we found this place and how in awe they were of the beauty. Have your wedding here!

Incredible Venue with Incredible Team!

Do not hesitate in booking the Old Mill for your wedding or event. They were the most wonderful venue to work with from start to finish and people still talk about the food they had at our wedding, almost 6 months later. Don and his team go above and beyond to customize weddings for each couple so that no two weddings are alike and it is truly personalized. We were married at the Old Mill in July 2021 after having to postpone our wedding for a year due to the pandemic. The Old Mill was extremely transparent and flexible in working with us to find a new date. Don and his team went above and beyond meeting with us anytime that we requested to discuss menu options, decor ideas, and day of logistics. We had many friends getting married at the same time at other venues in the area and we by far had the best experience at the Old Mill. If you are looking for a venue were you can customize everything from appetizers, to entrees, to decor and desserts than this is the place for you. The stage in the venue was perfect for a band and we truly had an amazing time. We had such a wonderful experience that my sister has even decided to book her wedding there! I cannot recommend this team and venue enough for your wedding.

The Old Mill is amazing and very professional

From the very start, Donald and Conner Catering were very professional. The Old Mill provides a rustic, natural wedding space and Conner Catering was there for us every step of the way. We can’t thank them enough for all of the quick communication and answers when needed. Whenever we wanted to meet with Conner Catering, they made themselves readily available. Conner Catering knows their venue and this business inside and out and pays particular attention to all details. They were more than willing to work with us on our specific requests and needs to make the day great for ourselves, friends and family! The kitchen, serving staff, and bar tenders were all so kind to our guests and went out of their way to help us celebrate on our day. We are still hearing from friends and family about how beautiful the venue is, how amazing the food was and how kind and professional the staff were. The catering manager, Christine, was amazing as well and made sure everything was perfect. During the week of our wedding, the forecast called for rain on our wedding day. Donald was so responsive and helpful. He guided us through every step even when we had to change plans back and forth a few times to accommodate the weather. It truly was an amazing day and we couldn’t be happier that we chose the Old Mill for our wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We have been working with Conner Catering for years and they are simply the best. We have been doing wedding flowers since 1988 and when it was time for me to pick a location for my wedding it was hands down an easy decision. They had the cleanest kitchen, best food and best service I had ever seen. Many occasions I had seen Don Conner making sure every detail of a couples wedding was accomplished. This is a GREAT CATERER and a beautiful venue!
