Alyna V. Married on 06/11/2022An absolute dream!
I cant even begin to express how amazing Wrights Mill Farm was. The staff, the food, the venue all beyond perfect. My now husband and I wish we could stay there forever! Two years ago we toured the venue during covid, my fiance and I got in the car and knew right away this was it!! Not only is the venue top notch gorgeous, Curt and Bri were always extremely responsive with my emails and questions prior to the event. When the wedding day came, I showed up to my tables set beautifully, Bri, Curt, Cheryl, and Krissy checked on me endlessly. I never once had to worry about the order of events because Bri just let me know when it was time! Their Dj, upbeat DJ, was also always by my side to make sure I was all set and the music was always on point. I'm 100% still blown away and thankful, I can't wait till the day I can come back!! We have attended dozens of weddings, and I may be biased, but this venue was by far the best! Every one of my guests have been reaching out letting me know the venue was phenomenal and the food was to die for. Thank you to the entire Wrights Mill Farm team for being the venue to do it all perfect!Wrights Mill Farm's reply:
Thanks so much. You were so easy to work with. You were always appreciative of everything we do and it means a lot to all the hard working staff. -

Haylee J. Married on 07/25/2022Couldn't Recommend It Enough!
We can't say enough good things about our experience working with Wright's Mill Farm! We absolutely fell in love with the venue the moment we arrived and loved the flexibility of the different meal packages, etc. The staff was fantastic - always answering emails quickly and with the utmost professionalism, and showing almost as much excitement about our big day as we were! We can't recommend Wright's Mill Farm enough for any couples in search of the perfect venue with a beautiful mix of rustic elegance and beauty! -

Jess Married on 07/08/2022Exceeded our wildest dreams!
We cannot say enough amazing things about Wrights Mill Farm! When we first visited Wrights we knew it was the place that we had to get married. The grounds are astonishing - rustic, yet modern and updated reception areas along with cascading waterfalls and rock walls, horse drawn carriage rides - Wrights Mill Farm is truly the backdrop to the fairy tale we had been envisioning. Before we even left the grounds that day we secured our date and gave our deposit, and canceled all the other tours of venues we had that week.
In the two years leading up to our wedding Brie and Curt were an amazing team - meeting with us, having phone calls and emails coordinating all the details. E-mails were literally answered in around 5 mins every single time I contacted them. They truly made the wedding planning process easy for us and we felt more then secure in our decision!
Our wedding day truly exceeded even our wildest dreams. It was a real life fairy tale. They truly do it all - from the DJ (Upbeat DJ - also amazing!!), cake, food, bar, set up and breakdown of decorations, packaging our favors for us, coordinating our wedding party the day of (and we had a very large wedding party of 16 people plus family) Brie was always on top of it and everything was absolutely beautiful and delicious.
We have attended many weddings over the years and we (as well as our guests) said that our wedding was the absolute best they had ever been to in all ways!
We highly recommend Wrights Mill Farm for your fairy tale-

The feeling is mutual! It's always a great experience teaming up with the Wright's Mill staff. Beautiful venue as well.
Wright's Mill, WMF, the unstoppable crew up in Canterbury....I could go on & on about how wonderful the owners & staff are. Whether they are the main family running the venue, or the rest of the group working for them, you'll never feel anything short of welcome there. They go above and beyond for their couples & the energy is contagious. I'm lucky to have become a part of their "farmily" and cannot recommend them enough.
Wright's Mill Farm is one of my favorite places to photograph weddings. The staff is professional, reliable and outstanding at making the day run smoothly. Wright's Mill has beautiful scenic backdrops including rustic barns and a covered bridge. I cannot speak highly enough of Wright's Mill and everyone there. Highly recommended!
