The venue was perfect for a small gathering with our 20 guest. It can hold a max of 70 people comfortably. It was so beautiful in the fall for our rustic wedding! -
User2001401 Sent on 01/08/2015We held our very small family-only wedding at Cabell's Mill in November and it was the perfect venue for the size of our wedding. We held both the ceremony and the small cake and drinks reception in the building and we had more than enough space. I wish the chairs had been a little nicer, though!

Seasun Sent on 11/04/2009A perfect place for a small, intimate wedding. My fiance and I have a lot of memories in Centreville. Naturally, we wanted to get married there too! Cabell's Mill has the perfect backdrop with it's historical setting and scenery. Everyone of our guests were amazed at how beautiful everything was. The staff is very helpful and responsive before and during my rental. I highly suggest having your wedding here! -

Lynnita Sent on 07/17/2011We were married here in June, with hopes of having an outdoor ceremony and reception. This place is BEAUTIFUL at any time of year and the setting is what makes it so special (read: INCREDIBLE photo ops outside). The mill is small and would be ideal for a wedding with less than 75 people. However, we had 100 and managed well with the (mandatory) tent outside.
The only reason we're giving a 4-star rating is because it is somewhat of a hassle to coordinate with the managing company and your vendors for site visits. Don't get me wrong: the managing company (Historic Properties Rental Service) is very responsive to emails. However, they only have someone on site 1-2 times a week (generally before a rental, so you will only be allowed in the building for about an hour), so you have to plan well in advance. I found it easiest to ask them what days/times Cabell's Mill would be open, then ask the vendor if they would be available at that time.
But affordable and WELL WORTH IT! Added bonus: we can stop by whenever we want for picnics and could eventually take our children here, too! -

Cabell's Mill is a dream venue if you are looking for something rustic/romantic. However, it's very limited when it comes to times. They are very particular about certain things. On the other hand, you get to bring your own caterer and you can buy the booze , so that's a plus! -

Maria Sent on 01/17/2016Cabell's Mill is a gorgeous site for a small wedding. It is very affordable, though a little difficult with regard to setup and teardown, as that likely needs to take place on the same day, unless you are lucky and are able to get a rehearsal time the night before (this is only the case if the mill is not booked by anyone else on the previous day by 21 days before the wedding). Though I didn't see the inside myself, my mother in law scheduled an appointment and toured it for us, and said it was very beautiful inside as well. Zane has been very professional and responsive to all of our emails and questions. Though its a little extra work to schedule a wedding here, I do feel we are getting a good deal on the space, and especially with the ability to choose our own vendors and purchase our own alcohol to be served at the wedding. I am so looking forward to our wedding on this gorgeous property! -

Beth Sent on 07/17/2014Cabell's Mill was our venue for our early June wedding. We were at the high end of the capacity with over 100 guests, I think fewer guests would be ideal, especially if you want to be able to fit everyone in one area for seating. Note that the main inside room is upstairs, whereas the patio, bathrooms, and buffet table are on the lower level, which made it a bit difficult to corral everyone for toasts, etc, but it worked out for the most part.We tented a large portion of the patio (using Capital Party Rental) in case of rain and it worked out fine. The venue comes with 80 chairs and many tables, so that is a big help, but you will need to hire someone to set them up (caterers usually do this). There is a pantry area with a sink, but no ice machine or kitchen, so keep that in mind for catering purposes. We hired the red zebra to do appetizers and wood fired pizzas off their truck and it worked out perfectly. We hired Soda Yoda to deliver ice and coolers. Everyone we worked with was very pleasant, but keep in mind this is a county facility so it is not quick turnaround. They mostly show the venue early on days of rented events on weekends. The most challenging aspect was getting set up. We rented 2 extra hours for set up, but it was a crunch because that didn't leave much time to get ready after dropping off all the stuff. We weren't able to use the storage shed as another party had used it. You are not allowed to attach anything to the walls so best to keep it simple anyway. This venue is so much cheaper than most others I feel like it is a good value and we saved money, but maybe not as much as I expected once you add in all the additional vendors we needed to use. I will say it was a lot of work to coordinate everything, my friends were saying I had to do a lot of things myself that were part of the package of their more expensive venues, so be prepared to roll up your sleeves. Loved the natural setting and beauty, lots of photo ops!
