Rachel N. Sent on 06/26/2023A whimsical venue in the outdoors
I can’t imagine our wedding happening anywhere else. From start to finish it was all we hoped for. Evins Mill takes professionalism to the next level in the way they approach their events. From multiple meetings to clarify expectations, staff to help coach you through decision making, and all hands on deck during the weekend - we were never alone! It was a blast to have our guests stay with us during the weekend and made it so easy to host all events at one venue. The food was extraordinary, the rooms were clean and provided unbelievable views, and our guests barely slept because they wanted to hike all day and enjoy the indoor facilities late into each night. I can’t emphasize enough how accommodating the venue was to our vision and last minute hiccups. I would do this weekend over and over again.Evins Mill's reply:
Ahoy Rachel. I am so glad to hear that your weekend went so well, and that your family & friends relished the experience! It was a true pleasure working with Blake and you. We are most appreciative of the opportunity to be a part of this milestone moment in your lives, and are also grateful for your taking the time to proffer this review! Thanks again Rachel. William -

Lauren T. Sent on 09/27/2021The best wedding experience
We got married at Evins Mill on sept. 12 and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue. We had decided to change our venue a month before our wedding and it would not have gone as perfectly if we went to any other place. William is highly organized and detail focused. After our first conversation with him he sent me a email with all of the little details we had discussed about the wedding. The food was absolutely incredible and they were very helpful in the ordering process. They have a day of coordinator who was on every detail and so sweet and patient with our flower kids. The lodge accommodations itself was super clean, nice and beautiful. The staff was incredibly helpful and wonderful. We are still getting compliments on our wedding day and may just have to renew our vows here every year. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to have a amazing wedding or just a weekend away.Evins Mill's reply:
Thank you Lauren! It was very much our pleasure. I will pass on your kind words to the staff. We appreciate the opportunity! -

Tania Sent on 10/26/2019A serene beautiful venue for a wedding weekend
Danny and I visited Evins Mill over 2 years ago and fell in love with this place! 🌿 Everyone who came into the bridal chamber while I was getting ready said that I was the calmest bride they had ever seen, and honestly there’s so way to feel stress when you’re at Evins Mill.
We had the whole place for 48 hours (Friday - Sunday) so there was no rush, no concerns about anything not being done on time, and we had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception all in one place which made it super easy!
There’s 19 rooms on site, so we stayed there with our closest friends and out of town guests - so no one had to drive to get to any events!
Everyone was enamored with the place and couldn’t believe we found it, the feeling they all shared throughout the weekend was peace and calm as though they were at a retreat in the woods. The venue was key and definitely set the mood we wanted for our guests and made our whole wedding weekend so magical ✨Evins Mill's reply:
Thank you Tania! We are so appreciative of you and grateful for the opportunity to work with Danny and you. Thank you for taking time to post this review here! William -

Emily H. Sent on 10/24/2019The best wedding weekend
Absolute dream of a wedding venue. I hate to even call it a venue because it felt like home for our wedding weekend. We envisioned all of our closest friends and family staying together on site and getting to know each other and that is what Evin's Mill enabled us to do. William, the owner, was so helpful from the start and patient with any questions and concerns we had. The staff, including Tina the wedding coordinator, treated us so warmly. All of my family commented to us how great everyone was that they encountered. The grounds are gorgeous. We had a family hike down to the falls which is such a sweet memory for us. The food was incredible! We had quite a few dietary concerns and chef Jason gave us the BEST options for those guests. We have a lot of friends and family who are vegetarians and vegans and they all told us how cared for they felt and how delicious it all was. We had 75 guests for the ceremony and reception and I think that number of people filled the reception hall beautifully. Our wedding weekend is such a happy memory for us and our families and friends.Evins Mill's reply:
Thank you Emily for taking time to post a review of your wedding weekend here! It is helpful. We are deeply appreciative of you and Adam Ollendorff for the opportunity, and are equally gratified to know that you, your family and your friends had such a lovely experience. Thank you! -

Would do it ALL over again every day!!!
My husband and I were married at Evins Mill back in June of 2016 and we had the time of our lives. There is not one negative thing I could say except that I wish it could have lasted forever. It is a magical setting...meant for bringing loved ones together. I know I am late in giving them my review, but I happened to think of it today when thinking of something to do for our anniversary this year. That is a great part about it...years down the road you can revisit your special day on a romantic weekend getaway. We rented the entire location for our wedding weekend and ALL of our friends and family still talk about how much they enjoyed staying there as well. Tina and William were both amazing to work with. The food....OH MY....we still dream about the food and my husband always regrets forgetting to go get his leftover macaroni salad!Evins Mill's reply:
Kellyn - thank you so much for taking time and without solicitation to post such a lovely comment about your experience at Evins Mill. We love to hear it when any guest enjoys their time, but I think that is particularly true of our bridal clients. So thank you again for the vote of confidence, for the review and for considering a return visit for an anniversary celebration!
With much appreciation,

Rachel Sent on 10/01/2017My husband and I had a wonderful wedding experience with Evins Mill. This all inclusive venue and the warm and professional staff made the planning enjoyable, which is definitely something every bride wants. The natural beauty surrounding Evins Mill first drew me to this venue, and is lovely in every season. The food was amazing with lots of choices, including vegetarian options. We enjoyed our experience so much we often visit for a peaceful getaway. I would highly recommend Evins Mill as a wedding venue, and wholeheartedly stand being my 5 star rating.

Alicia Sent on 09/25/2017From the beautiful scenery/grounds to the staff, nothing could have made our wedding anymore prefect. My biggest regret was not allowing the venue wedding coordinator to help me plan out the wedding more. Renting out the whole venue and staying the night is the way to go. The food is outstanding--I can't stress this enough! It is the #1 compliment among guests, along with the atmosphere. Also, make sure you take a hike to the falls and enjoy a glass of the local brew on tap!

The recent upgrades and new guest chalet took it to the next level. Highly recommend Evins Mill as an event venue. People STILL talk about how fab our wedding was. You won't be disappointed!

User1143257 Sent on 04/24/2013We were fortunate to have been to the Inn at Evins Mill prior to needing to find a venue for our wedding (we actually got engaged down by their water fall about 9 month before the wedding). As soon as we first visited Evins Mill we knew that this would be the type of place we would like to have our wedding at.
We had a small wedding, so it was so nice to have the entire place to ourselves for the whole weekend. Our family and friends were able to stay all together and everything was provided for us. We are Nashville transplants and all of our guests were from out of town, so to be able to have the weekend be a retreat for our guest was so special. The Mill and its staff delivered a truly amazing experience.
Everything was taken care of for us. Dorothy, their wedding planner, helped make sure that everything went off without a hitch. Jason, their onsite chef, is fantastic. He even made ice cream for us to have with our cake. The food is local and always amazing. It was so nice to gather together in the morning for breakfast and to celebrate long into the evening.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Inn at Evins Mill. It may be a little far from Nashville and there might not be much in Smithville, but once you get there you are transported to the most incredible place.

User956605 Sent on 10/02/2012We just had our daughter's wedding at the Inn. We can't say enough good things about the Inn! The food was superlative, the service was outstanding, and the wedding coordinator was indispensable. The site was gorgeous- can't wait to see how the wedding pictures turn out! The rooms were exactly right for the setting- with nice amenities. -
User945792 Sent on 09/24/2012We picked this location sight unseen and we were beyond pleased when we first arrived. The scenery was gorgeous, the views extraordinary, and the helpfulness of the staff went above and beyond any expectation we could have ever of dreamed of. Thank you so much for making our day unforgettable!

Katie Sent on 06/12/2018Evin's Mill is so beautiful! I went to tour for a venue visit and got to look around the property, and while I ultimately did not choose this as my venue because of solely logistical difficulties, I hope to go back sometime for a family reunion there because it was such a cool site and felt so welcoming. The cabins are quaint and it feels like you're in the middle of a forest, and the rushing water nearby is very soothing. The food through their caterer is AMAZING. We tried a sample meal, and I wish I could have them as my own caterer! The workers there were very nice and easy to talk with, and if I lived closer and their venue was slightly bigger (my wedding size was too big for the ceremony sites), I would have definitely chosen them. I so appreciate how nice and welcoming they were!Evins Mill's reply:
Thank you Katie for taking the time not only to visit our property but also to post a review here. I'm so glad you had a favorable impression. Thank you again! William -
Becky Sent on 10/24/2017From the moment my daughter & I we saw the Evins Mill property, we were in love. She loves autumn in Tennessee, and was captivated by the setting, able to imagine her big day held there. We said "Alright, if the food is even moderately palatable, we're in!", ...then the food blew us away! We booked for the whole weekend, aiming to give our guests a retreat experience, and the expense was quite worthwhile. The staff were very accommodating and personable, adding Tennessee charm to the already lovely property. The new husband and bride hope to celebrate each anniversary at Evins Mill, feeling it is "their place". (The recently-constructed Solstice rooms are very comfortable and well-adorned, but nothing beats the proximity to treetops and rushing water at the Creekside rooms).
