Absolutely Amazing Wedding Venue!
We cannot say enough about how incredible Bill Miller’s Castle in Branford, Connecticut, was for our November 8th, 2024 wedding. This family-owned and operated venue exceeded every expectation and delivered a level of care, sincerity, and expertise that left us speechless. From start to finish, Lisa, Victoria, and Christina were nothing short of phenomenal.
From our very first meeting to the final moments of our celebration, they treated us like part of their family. Every detail was handled with thoughtfulness and precision—from decor and catering to timeline coordination, vendor recommendations, and bar service. Their willingness to step in and go above and beyond made our day seamless and magical.
The venue itself is a true gem. The stunning architecture created a fairytale-like atmosphere that felt otherworldly. Every corner of the castle offered a unique and breathtaking backdrop, making it a dream come true.
We cannot thank Lisa, Victoria, and Christina enough for their hard work, dedication, and genuine care for making our wedding day so perfect. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! We highly recommend Bill Miller’s Castle to anyone searching for a venue that delivers excellence in every way.
With love and gratitude,
Cory and Trey-

Exceptional every step of the way!
If you have the means to, choose Bill Miller's as your venue! My now husband and I were treated like royalty from the first tour to our wedding day. We were never without a beverage and were well fed (almost too full!). Mary was our coordinator, and was never hard to reach. We chose this venue for a few reasons: we would have the venue for the whole day to ourselves, all-inclusive with fantastic food and great drinks, a solid indoor/rain option for the ceremony, and a coordinator was included. Bill Miller's really made our day seamless and everything was incredible.
Thank you Mary and everyone at Bill Miller's for a wonderful stress-free day! -

If you're looking for a unique wedding venue that allows you to personalize your wedding to fit your style then Bill Miller's Castle is the place for you. We got married here 10/7/17 and it was nothing short of amazing. Lisa and Victoria are a mother/daughter dynamic duo who truly take the time to get to know their brides to help make your wedding vision a reality. The bridal suite is on point - highly recommended!! Everyone loved the food (salmon with dill sauce was a crowd favorite). The seating layout and the huge dance floor made for a great dance party. The castle and the grounds are breathtakingly beautiful and make for great photo opps! Our guests are still raving about this place - we even had a few couples tell us they want to get married there! I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you so much Lisa and Victoria and everyone at Bill Miller's Castle for giving us the best day ever! -

Literally the best venue with the best people!
Mary (our day of coordinator) was absolutely amazing. She walked us through the whole process, answered all of our questions, had no problem with us texting when a random question or thought popped up regarding the wedding. She executed our wedding day beautifully! I wish we had more things we could do there so we could work with here again!! -

Stunning venue, amazing coordinators and staff!!
Bill Miller will take amazing care of you. The level of care was just next level, and they treated us like family. The venue coordinator, Victoria, truly was patient angel and helped us through every single step in ensuring all the small details and granted our wish, it really was magical! The venue, the food, the suites, I am so glad our special day took place with them!!! -

Absolutely Amazing Venue
I didn’t know that when my fiancé and I booked Bill Miller’s, that we were getting more than a wedding venue. We were being welcomed open armed into the Miller family. Lisa and Victoria worked endlessly to help make my vision come to life. Everything about this venue is exceptional. I went to two tastings with them, and the food at my wedding was even better than it was at either of the tastings. The staff was incredible. Our bartender, Deb, knew everyone’s drink order after the first time ordering. My family is still talking about how much they loved her! Mary made sure I was being taken care of the entire day. She brought us drinks and food from cocktail hour as we took pictures, she served us dinner, and made sure we had everything we wanted. And last but not least, the absolute beauty of this castle is astounding. My guests were blown away and are still talking about it almost a week later. As we hugged Lisa and Victoria goodbye the day after the wedding, it was hard not to cry. They worked so closely with me and felt like such a big part of our lives for the entire wedding planning process. I absolutely recommend Bill Miller’s Castle for an incredible, memorable wedding.-

This is the first time that I have EVER looked forward to writing a review. I will attempt to keep this brief, but I can't make any promises.
From the moment we walked through the majestic doorway where we were greeted by the friendliest, and most down to earth duo (Lisa Miller and Victoria Smith) to sharing the moment with Victoria seconds before I walked down the aisle (to the motown classic "Stand By Me" accompanied by my dad sporting a hawaiian shirt) to say "I do!" we were treated with kindness, respect, and kept at ease with lighthearted humor to settle nerves on such an important day.
The rustic, badass, open-spaced castle with endless angles to take the perfect selfie, is just scratching the surface of why this place is one-of-a-kind. The dance floor is big, and durable (which was extremely important to us twerkers of the world trying to go viral). The food? UNREAL. Lisa & staff make it a priority to ensure the selection is precisely what you are looking for. Now, I can't leave out the grand bridal suite- this room is fit for the most important pre-game of you and your maids' lives and created yet again the perfect space to spend the last minutes being a single lady.
There is not enough room on this page to express how the seasoned wedding babes (Lisa and Victoria) provided us with the ideal service for our wedding. Where these women stand out is here: they leave the "saleswoman" crap in the parking lot and never try to lead you in a direction you're not comfortable going in. They are willing to truly listen to you, and help make the best day of your life. We will never forget the generosity and flexibility the BMC staff showed us and will continue to spread the word of how phenomenal our experience with them was.
Do yourself a favor and at least reach out to Lisa Miller or any of the amazing BMC staff to book a tour. You will be treated as a friend, not a client - and for us, that made all of the difference.
Love,
Anna & Ryan Scott -

They made our dream wedding come to life!
We got married at Bill Millers Castle in December 2022 and the entire experience from beginning to end was amazing. Our coordinator was Victoria, and she was so helpful and responsive. Anytime I wasn’t sure about something, she gave me options and advice. It resulted in the most magical wedding we could have asked for. And on the day of, her and the rest of the staff handled everything and we were able to just enjoy our day. Afterwards our guests couldn’t stop raving about how cool the venue was and how delicious the food was. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who asks. -

Our original wedding venue was bought out and cancelled on us 10 weeks before our wedding. Bill Miller's was available the day before and my husband and I believe it was meant to be because our day was so much greater than we imagined it would be. We wanted a venue that was different from a big ballroom with a chandelier. This venue made me feel like I was princess of a rustic castle, which was perfect for our rustic theme. You can't beat the beauty of this venue, the beautiful deck for cocktail hour, and then amazing property where we had our ceremony. Everything was so green and vibrant, which provided the perfect backdrop for our formal pictures. There are so many great photo opportunities at this place!! The staff was on top of everything as well. Everything was set up without me needing to remember a thing. They were there with my favorite wine or asking if we needed anything throughout the night and helped to make sure everything followed the timeline. Our day was perfect and I only wish I could live it over again without changing a thing! -

Simply Magical!
From the moment I searched for castle venues for my wedding, Bill Miller's Castle stood out immediately. As soon as I stepped foot in this beautifully unique place, I knew this was it. I told my fiance he would also fall in love with the castle, and he did too! We loved that it's a family run business, and that adds even more to this venue's charm. Victoria was our coordinator and was extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process. She was always available to answer any questions, no matter how silly it seemed. Even the day of, she ran the show so that our special day went seamlessly without a hitch. Our guests raved about the delicious and plentiful food and drinks throughout the night for weeks after the wedding. My husband and I would relive that day in a heartbeat! We are eternally grateful to have had a simply magical wedding day. -

Couldn’t have picked a better place!
As soon as I walked into Bill Miller’s Castle, I knew that was where I wanted to celebrate my marriage. Victoria, Lisa, and the rest of the staff were absolutely incredible to work with. Victoria was there every step of the way to answer questions and help in every way she could. The venue is so beautiful with so many places all over for gorgeous pictures. I can’t say enough wonderful things about the venue and everyone there. The food from La Luna was amazing and the Venetian Room was beautiful and so delicious! I highly recommend BMC! -

Best experience!
We got married on November 23, 2019 and it was the best day of our lives. Working with Victoria was amazing as she is hands down the best. She thought of certain details that didn’t even cross our mind, made wonderful recommendations that made our wedding magical and beautiful, and put us at ease on the day of. We didn’t have to worry about anything because we knew we were in great hands with Victoria and the magnificent Bill Miller’s staff. I am so glad we chose Bill Miller’s as our venue as it was seriously perfect. Our guests are still raving about the venue and wedding! I recommend Bill Miller’s to all of our close friends and family!-

Dream Wedding!
I can't say enough good things about Bill Miller's Castle. We had our wedding on New Year's Eve and it was the most perfect night that we could have ever asked for. Lisa and Victoria were both incredibly helpful throughout the entire experience. They quickly responded to every question I had throughout the process and handled everything the day of so I had nothing to think about. They set up the space exactly how we had hoped, and the entire experience was seamless. We used the bridal suite to get ready and had plenty of space to do everything we needed for hair, makeup, lunch, getting dressed, etc (with 8 bridesmaids!) Our guests all had an amazing time and told us it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding - from the delicious appetizers, to the large entrees, to the incredible Venetian room with every dessert imaginable. They all loved the unique ambiance at the castle, with something cool to find in every corner of the space. At midnight, we watched the ball drop on a large screen and had a champagne toast on the massive dance floor. Everything was truly magical, and I highly recommend a wedding - especially on NYE - at Bill Miller's Castle! -

A beautifully unique venue
Bill Miller’s Castle was an absolute dream venue to host our wedding. The venue itself is gorgeous, eclectic, cozy, and more than large enough to accommodate our roughly 130 guests. The staff was absolutely incredible and bent over backwards to make sure our day was perfect. Our day-of coordinator Victoria was a rockstar who seemed to be everywhere at once making sure that everything went exactly as it was supposed to. Victoria was exceptionally helpful and communicative throughout the entire process and made us feel comfortable that everything would go to plan. We had a wonderful planning meeting with her shortly before our wedding date to make sure that all of our vendors were on the same page. The food was also insanely good! We felt like royalty at our sweetheart table enjoying our first meal together as a married couple. We cannot recommend a venue more fervently than we recommend Bill Miller’s Castle! -

A Unique Wedding Venue
I cannot say enough good things about Bill Miller’s Castle. It is truly a unique venue – not your typical banquet hall or stark white ballroom. This place has so much character, charm and personality all on its own. And Lisa (the owner) and her staff are absolutely fabulous – they take care of everything and really made sure my husband and I were present for our big day. Everyone says your wedding day goes by so fast that you miss everything and we truly didn’t feel that way – we really were able to take it all in and enjoy every moment (Lisa even made sure we ate!). The food and drinks are phenomenal – our guests raved about the giant portions of perfectly cooked prime rib, top-shelf well-made drinks and a Viennese hour fit for royalty (the chocolate shot glasses with dessert liquor assortment were my favorite touch). Our wedding day exceeded our already high expectations and Lisa and the team at Bill Miller’s created a day that will live on in our memories for a lifetime. -

Beautiful venue, even better staff.
We just had our wedding on 11/30/24. We were stunned by how smoothly everything went from the initial virtual tour, to the ceremony and reception on our wedding day. The food was phenomenal, the venue is spacious and with almost 200 guests, we never felt cramped, huge dance floor, and gorgeous and large bridal suite. Victoria was an unbelievable coordinator, accommodated all of our needs, and the bar and service staff were wonderful as well. Our ceremony was indoors, it was exactly on time, and so beautiful with the chandeliers and fireplace. We have not stopped talking about how perfect the venue was.-

Everything we could have asked for!
This place is a dream. When we were first engaged my fiancé (now husband) and I looked at 11 venues in Connecticut and this was the first place we looked it... with each visit to other venues it became clear Bill Millers is the place for us. On top of its unique charm and gorgeous interior and exterior, it offered on stop shop! Almost everything can be provided or rented through them! As a couple with two full time careers and a young daughter this was huge for us! I have to mention how gorgeous the rainy day option is. We really wanted to not have to worry about the weather considering anything can happen in New England. The outside garden is lovely and we are so thankful we had a sunny day, but if it was raining the indoor ceremony option was just as nice. Victoria was our wedding coordinator and was a champ through out the planning process; which included helping us get through delaying the wedding a year due to Covid. She made everything stress free and answered our many questions promptly and with patience. I cannot thank her enough for her help! The bridal suite is one of the amazing selling points for this place! Its absolutely worth the small up charge to be in one location with your ladies all day while everything gets set up around you. There was plenty of space for 2 hair stylists, 1 make up artist, 2 moms, 6 bridesmaids, 2 flower girls, and my daughter to all get ready! The food was amazing!! Everyone raved about it! We did buffet style and had the mashed potato bar which was a hit! And the lovely staff made sure the groom and I sat to eat which is often something that gets missed. I wouldn't do anything different. The day went perfectly and smoothly and that is no doubt due to Victoria and her teams effort! Even as my cake almost collapsed, Victoria and the staff was able to swiftly take care of it and save everyone's dessert!-

Bill Miller's Castle was the perfect place for our wedding. We were looking for something a little different - not the typical "cookie cutter" wedding - something that truly reflected who we are, and the type of wedding we wanted. The space is just gorgeous and very unique. Victoria and Lisa, the wedding coordinators at Bill Miller's, were absolutely amazing. They listened to what we wanted, helped us put the event together, and made the whole process fun and memorable. They were flexible and helpful and truly went above and beyond to make sure that we had the perfect day. Our outside caterer went incommunicado an hour before the wedding & we couldn't reach him... they were over an hour late and no sign/word... Victoria and Lisa swung into action and took care of everything. While we were having our family photos done, they organized last minute passed hors d'oeuvres, cheeseboards, and drinks, while gearing up to be ready to serve dinner too if needed. Our guests never even realized that anything was wrong! When the caterers (that we chose!!) finally did show up, Victoria and Lisa handled the whole setup without a hitch. They got dinner served in record time and our guests raved about how good the food was. We truly could not have done it without them. Great place, great atmosphere, truly incredible staff. -

Victoria and the entire staff was amazing!! Everything ran smoothly and you did not feel rushed at all, the bridal suite is beautiful and everyone very helpful. If I had to do it all over again i would chose bill millers castle, Victoria and her mom made me so much less nervous and they are truly professionals. I couldn’t have asked for a better venue, it was worth every single penny. -
