About

The Providence Cotton Mill is a historic mill turned open-air pavilion nestled between two creeks and surrounded by green fields and forest. The soaring 30 ft. ceiling allows sunlight to stream in through the two stories of open windows. The main hall is 10,000 sq. ft. with the ability to divide into ceremony and reception areas. The front of the mill, adorned with the main tower, is the perfect backdrop for an outdoor wedding on the lawn. The Providence Cotton Mill is the perfect setting of old-world charm with an inviting, outdoor feel.

Best Venue!

All of our guests can agree: the venue made our wedding day!! The Providence Cotton Mill is so beautiful alone, we were able to spend less money on flowers and decor because it speaks for itself. The team at PCM was extremely responsive and answered any questions we had. Sommer was a great contact and was very helpful throughout the process. She was willing to work with us on a few things and helped make our day special! We were torn on the venue given it was far out, but If you are on the fence DO IT!! It was worth it and I can't imagine having it anywhere else. We transported our guests via buses and it was perfect. I highly recommend PCM.

A beautiful wedding venue and

This is the first review I feel compelled to write in 62 years because I feel very strongly about what I’m about to write. The Providence Cotton Mill is a stunning wedding venue. The owners, Sommer and Ethan, and their associates worked extremely hard to make my daughter’s wedding day perfect! I walked away at the end of the night feeling like everyone at The Providence Cotton Mill would have not accepted anything less.

The building is a gorgeous stucco/old brick structure with many large windows allowing the sun to peak through providing numerous opportunities for beautiful one of kind wedding pictures. This is only one component of why The Providence Cotton Mill is a prime venue.

The other reason and the most important reason is the owners, Sommer and her husband, and their associates. Everyone was a pleasure to work with. Leading up to my daughter’s wedding, every single email was answered quickly, even if there were several emails sent in one day or a question was asked previously. Sommer was our month of and day of planner. She was a literal wizard handling every single little detail before, during and after the wedding with enthusiasm and in a calm manner. Her associates were equally as helpful and enthusiastic.

We had an unfortunate problem with charters buses we hired to transport guests to and from the venue. The morning after the wedding, Sommer was still assisting us by sending an email to her contact at the bus company demanding answers and some sort of compensation for us.

I wholeheartedly recommend The Providence Cotton Mill. For the reasons mentioned above, your wedding day will be everything you envision it to be if you have it there.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
