    Beyond beautiful!

    The place is beyond beautiful and perfect!! We had our New Years Eve wedding here and it was everything we could have dreamed about. It’s rustic and the exposed brick is so pretty. The deck is AWESOME. Amanda was wonderful in the planning phases and really made it a breeze. Star was so sweet and really made our day go by smoothly. All the staff was awesome and did amazing. I love the bridal suite downstairs! It’s a perfect place to get ready in. Kevin initially showed us the venue on a walk through and we immediately fell in love. It’s perfect for more intimate weddings (we had about 60 guests). Taking the golf cart around to take wedding pictures was so much fun and a unique feature of this venue! The trains going by were awesome haha. Loved this venue beyond words and would definitely have other events here as well!

    The Perfect Venue!

    We fell in love with the Cowan because of the unique setting and the family and staff that runs the venue! Amanda and our day-of-coordinator, Lexie, were very accommodating to our needs and responsive anytime I contacted them. They really went above and beyond to make our wedding day special, from going out of their way to buy peach juice (for the getting-ready mimosa bar) and seltzers for the reception. Our guests commented to us several times that this was the most unique and beautiful venue that they have ever been to for a wedding, and we agree! We would recommend this venue again and again and are so happy that we were able to have our wedding here.

    Gorgeous and affordable

    This venue is perfect for a small or large wedding . The staff was very friendly and accommodating to the windy wedding day I had! Amanda showed us the ins and out of the venue and it was hard not fall in love! Amanda helped work out vendor options and gave recommendations to great drinks. My guest loved the his/her cocktails she suggested. My favorite part is the lovely view of downtown Acworth !

    Night to remember

    The Cowan Historic Mill allowed us (parents of the bride) to provide for our daughter and her groom the wedding of their dreams. From start to finish the planning was organized and professional. The entire space is presented in the most beautifully intimate way. The package options provided made for a more simple planning process than I expected. The vendors the venue has assembled are quality, seasoned event specialist. The venue staff are well trained for high end hospitality service and well trained to handle unexpected situations. The Cowan staff and vendors planned every detail, from parking to ‘crowd control.’ The entire evening was orchestrated so that every need was anticipated and met. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the wonderful memories.

    The Cowan Historic Mill: Look No Further

    When we walked into The Cowan Historic Mill venue, we just knew that this was IT. The Cowan's magic came from both Amanda's wonderful spirit and the venue's stunning decor.

    First, I will tell you about Amanda. We had visited other venues and had been greeted professionally. No complaints, really. But from the beginning, Amanda started asking questions about what we wanted, what we liked and didn’t like. She was deeply invested in discovering our vision and how she could make happen everything that we wanted. Her sincerity and kindness set her apart from everyone else. She was the consummate professional, and just an awesome person overall. After we booked the venue, she responded quickly to telephone calls and text messages and emails. She answered all questions with expertise and grace.

    Now, let's talk about the venue. The Cowan Historic Mill is in the perfect location, with generous parking on the lot and across the street. The building retains its historic charm with its dark hardwood flooring, exposed brick walls, and high ceilings. The massive, gorgeous chandelier and the elegant furnishings make this place a showstopper. The building is expansive and able to accommodate guests and vendors without feeling cramped. There is also plenty of outdoor seating to help guests spread out even more if needed. The outdoor deck is large and beautiful and provided the perfect setting for our ceremony. And the area for the bridal party to get ready! Oh my goodness! It is impressive, to say the least. It is beautifully decorated with large mirrors and beautiful furnishings and accessories. There are a generous number of stations for the bridal party to do make-up and hair and get dressed.

    I'm almost done, I promise.

    Finally, I will tell you about the wedding day. EVERYTHING was amazing. Amanda and Allie took care of us, our guests, and the vendors. They were present throughout the day to ensure that things ran smoothly and on schedule. They interacted with our wedding guests and made everyone feel welcome. It was a perfect day.

    My advice: Look here first and don't look anywhere else. Use the vendors on their preferred vendor list. They have assembled a select group of professionals to handle everything from catering to providing DJ services. Their preferred vendors meet and exceed their high standards.

    Can you tell that I highly, highly, highly recommend The Cowan Historic Mill?

    The venue of our dreams

    We have been looking for a venue for our daughter's wedding and have visited several over the last few weeks. Cowan Historic Mill checks all the critical boxes and more! The venue is gorgeous...a lovely mix of old and new. It also has spacious dedicated areas for not only the bride and bridesmaids to get ready but also a great space for the groom and groomsmen. In addition, they now have a two level outdoor covered area for receptions, cocktail hr or even the ceremony. Amanda has a real eye for detail and truly cares about our special day. She even plans to drive us around on the wedding day to some secret spots around town that make beautiful photo backdrops. After much research I can truly say Cowan Mill is perfect.

    The Cowan Historic Mill's reply:

    Carla,
    Thank you so much for this review! We enjoyed working with you as well. You are wonderful!

    Thank you so much!

    Perfection

    My husband Tanner and I had our wedding at the Cowan Historic Mill on 12.05.20 and we will never be able to say enough good things about our experience with this incredible venue. From the first time we visited, Amanda instilled in us the utmost confidence that she would be able to help us achieve our dream - even during the pandemic. We wanted to implement a lot of unique touches for our wedding to make it extremely personal and Amanda helped make every one happen. The venue offers a fantastic value for the size of the space and the versatility of the different areas at the venue. Cowan has excellent facilities to accommodate your catering, indoor and outdoor bar options, and the completely unique space in the interior of the mill. We had our ceremony and reception in the main room and it suited our smaller wedding size perfectly. We comfortably sat 60 guests as well as having a full band in the main room of the Mill. Cowan was absolutely perfect for us and we couldn't possibly recommend it any higher!

    Amazing venue!

    We had my daughters baby shower at The Cowan Historic Mill and I cannot say enough about the Mill and the staff. Amanda and her team were the easiest to work with, making us feel "at home" at this spectacular venue. The Cowan Historic Mill is a rustic/vintage meets modern/sophistication. A must see for all Brides or Moms to Be. I'd recommend it for any event.
    The bar kept the mimosas pouring and the ladies laughing. Every inch was well thought out and very comfortable. I only wish I had another daughter to marry, they would be at the top of my list! Thanks again Amanda, you ROCK!

    Perfectly amazing!

    Absolutely AMAZING! The Historic Cowan Mill is so full of history and beauty! We always wanted the perfect wedding for our daughter, and this was definitely it. Our daughter fell in love with it from the moment she walked through the doors. The Cowan Mill was everything she was dreaming of, from the industrial-elegant style, luxurious bridal suite, outdoor and indoor spaces, outdoor fireplaces, and so much more!
    In addition to the incredible venue, the Marcy family are the absolute best. Every single need/accommodation/request was exceeded, with the most wonderful hospitality.
    As a parents, we wanted everything to be perfect for our only daughter’s special day. Thank you Cowan Mill for being a HUGE part of making that dream come true!

    Perfect Wedding Venue!

    The Cowan Historic Mill was the perfect wedding venue! It is beautifully renovated, has perfect areas for the bride/bridesmaids and the groom/groomsman. They are perfectly set up for any wedding. They were so attentive, professional and friendly. They were always willing to help and go the extra mile to help make our ceremony less stressful. The staff was a joy to work with and they helped take a good chunk of stress out of a stressful season. They're the perfect venue. I highly recommend them for any wedding ceremony, reception, or both! Thank you again!

    The staff was awesome and took care of all our wedding guests. The venue is a unique and historical place to host an event. We can't wait to have another occasion to use Cowen and work with the staff again.

    Most Magical Wedding of my Dreams!!!

    Wow. From day 1 meeting Amanda and Kevin at the Cowan, we knew that this place was it. We saw it before it was ever a finished venue and we knew, THIS is our place. We searched for months and finally! It’s so perfect. The dreamiest chandelier, most beautiful bridal suite you’ve ever seen (a makeup artists dream ;) ) an amazing grooms suite and a gorgeous bar. It’s all just phenomenal. The owners and staff were so wonderful and really made us feel so at peace with every decision we had to make. Stress was out the door! Amanda made everything stress free and easy, and she is seriously one of the sweetest humans ever. I am so thankful that we found this perfect place to become husband and wife. Our wedding flowed seamlessly, and every aspect was absolutely the most perfect thing EVER! I cannot give enough praise to this place and it’s people. They are truly blessed to run such an enchanting place, and we were so thankful for their kindness and care on our day. Simply amazing. If you want a great team and a beautiful venue, choose the Cowan.

    Baby Shower

    We are so thrilled to have been one of the first events the Cowan was able to host! Amanda’s responsiveness and wisdom have been unparalleled! I was able to throw the sweetest baby shower for my friend, and people are still commenting on how beautiful the venue was! We will most definitely be back!

    Gabriel's was a great place to have the rehearsal dinner. They were able to section off part of the restaurant for us, which was very charming with an old stone fireplace. They did forget to close the sliding doors (which would have made it more private), but the layout of the restaurant made it feel pretty private, regardless of the open doors. The food was delicious (especially the desserts), and they were very accommodating about gluten free options, table arrangements, etc.
