    November 2024 Wedding

    We went and toured the venue in August 2023, we didn't want to look at any more venues it was perfect. The information that was provided to us was very detailed. We really liked that there was a preferred vendor book it made choosing vendors very helpful especially with those vendors being at those facilities all the time. They always responded to us quickly, and it was very easy to drop in for a visit as many times as we wanted. They were very professional. As my day of coordinator was not able to be there on short notice they quickly stepped up and placed one of their staff in, Meredith made everything run so smooth! We couldn't have...

    Thank you Leigh for the kind review! We are so happy you enjoyed your big day here at the mill and wish you and Mike many blessings.

    Perfect venue for wedding!

    We used this venue for our son's wedding. We had the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception here. Also took engagement photos on the property. The staff were super to work with and everything was truly amazing! Very pleased - highly recommend!

    The Laboratory Mill's reply:

    Tina, we appreciate your kind words. Olivia and Spencer's wedding was beautiful! We are so glad you all had an amazing experience!

    Couldn't have chosen a better venue!

    Our daughter's wedding was held at The Laboratory Mill on Saturday 5/20/2023. This was the first venue we visited and when we left, my husband said we might as well cancel all other venue appointments. We didn't cancel just to see what others offered and we ended up going back to reserve this venue as we found nothing that compared. We could not be happier with the way everything turned out. The venue is absolutely breathtaking and so spacious. The rehearsal dinner was also held here, and it was every bit as wonderful. I think the most important thing to me, beyond all of this, is that the staff was phenomenal to work with. They are genuinely there to...

    The Laboratory Mill's reply:

    This is the sweetest review! Thank you so much, Dee! We enjoy having nice families like yours as our guests. It was such a pleasure to meet you and help you with your daughter's wedding.

    Couldn't have asked or wanted better!

    This place is beyond amazing and feels as though it has what anyone could ever dream about for their wedding, at least I know it did for ours! I don't know if I can say enough words about how fantastic The Laboratory Mill is, the amount of area that this place offers is simply outstanding whether you are looking to have an inside or outside wedding. There are 2 upstairs areas, 1 downstairs and then plenty of outside area, plus there are getting ready areas for both bride and groom! Not only do they offer multiple areas that can be used yet they also offer items that you can rent from them to utilize in your wedding, which is...

    Congratulations Bree & Shawn & Noah! Love you guys! I am thrilled everything was great and you all had a super time.
    Thank you for all the kind words!

    Beautiful venue

    The Laboratory Mill is such a beautiful space for a wedding, big or small. Our wedding was unexpectedly small due to Covid, but the space didn’t feel overwhelming. The Laboratory Mill staff was welcoming and quickly responsive from the start and helped ensure our wedding went smoothly despite the many bumps Covid threw in the way. Cannot recommend the Mill enough!

    The Laboratory Mill's reply:

    Savannah we are so thrilled that everything went well and Covid didn't hamper ANYTHING! We strive to make the day as stress free as possible so our couples can have the day they have dreamed of.
    Blessings and best wishes to you and Patrick!

    Perfect. This venue was the the perfect location for our wedding. It had everything we were looking for. From the first time we stepped onto the property to the moment we left, the Laboratory Mill was perfect.

    Wedding Reception Review

    Amazing venue and amazing staff. Linda was extremely professional and helpful with every step of the way. Everyone went above and beyond to help us make our wedding reception experience perfect and extremely safe during COVID precautions. Cannot say enough good things about this beautiful, historic venue!

    Thank you Taylor! We are thrilled for you and Garrett. Loved working with all of you even when we weren't sure what COVID would do! Your flowers were gorgeous.

    Amazing Experience

    We just got married at Laboratory Mills on 12/19/2020. It was hands-down a wonderful experience. The employees at the Mill catered to every single thing you could think of that we would need. They were easy to get ahold of and more than helpful with every detail and question. Weddings can be super stressful but Laboratory Mills helped to ease our stress and make everything go so smoothly. We would highly highly recommend it!!

    The Laboratory Mill's reply:

    Aww, thank you! We love our brides and families! Thank you for your review and I'm so glad our staff was able to make your day go smoothly! Blessings on a wonderful future!!

    Wedding of our dreams

    The Mill was the forth venue we toured and when we walked up on the stage we both teared up, we knew right away this is where we were meant to get married. ALL of the staff was soooo nice and accommodating they recommended amazing other vendors to work with. We got married 3/7/2020 and even it still being slightly cold the grounds were still beautiful and green. We have some guests to this day that still tell us how amazing and beautiful the wedding venue was and how they have never seen anything like it. We had 120 guests and it was not crowded and didn’t look empty. I honestly couldn’t have imagined a better Venue to have...

    The Laboratory Mill's reply:

    Thank you! We are pleased and excited that you and Andrew had your dream come true! The Mill speaks to your heart and eyes, she is as lovely as a bride. It delights each of us to know we played just a little part in making your day all you wished for and that your guests loved your venue.
    Blessings,

    The Laboratory Mill is an amazing, unique venue!

    We had a wonderful experience with The Laboratory Mill! We had both our rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony/reception at the Mill and everything was perfect. The staff are so professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and easy to work with. The venue itself is beautiful and unique inside and out, with the SouthFork River behind it and the historic charm it makes for the most priceless photos. We could not be happier with our decision to choose The Laboratory Mill as our wedding venue!

    . Derek and Emily Thom's Wedding

    John and Cindy have the best staff ever. Sallianne and I could not have asked for a more perfect day for Emily and Derek. I have played piano for a few weddings over the years there as you know and it was so different being on the receiving side and having everything taken care of with such dedication and attention to all the details. I cannot say enough about how please we were. Mr. Kim H. Harris

    Laboratory Mill is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Beautifully decorated, unique, the staff is overly organized and flexible. An unforgettable experience!

    The Mill was my second choice due to other friends sharing their wedding experience at this location. However, the staff strives to provide an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. Non the less the Laboratory Mill set themselves apart from every other venue. I knew I would marry the love of my life at the beautiful Laboratory Mill. The staff provided a unique and incomparable experience for my husband and me. I will remember our wedding day for many years to come. I am forever grateful to have had the experience we did with the Laboratory Mill. The staff was there for ever beckoning need. They were flexible with decor, the number of wedding guest, catering, music and more. If...

    Professional and Gorgeous Venue!

    An expansive indoor venue full of charm! The historic mill is picturesque indoor and outdoor. At City Barbeque & Catering we greatly enjoy the ability to cater here. The Mill staff knows what they are doing, and send very organized floor plans and directions for service. Their staff is very professional and respond in a timely manner. 10/10 would recommend!

    Beautiful Venue For A Beautiful Day

    The wedding was so beautiful and perfectly executed, and part of the reason goes to the Laboratory Mill. The staff were so kind, and helpful during the entire planning process, even up until the chaotic day of the wedding lol. They really helped me bring my parents vision to life, and so many of our family and friends commented how the venue was so beautiful! Even the manager joined us on the dance floor to dance the Biker’s Shuffle (you rock dude!) If you are nearby and would like a beautiful, rustic, historic venue to have your special day, then PLEASE book here at the Mill. You won’t regret it.

    The Laboratory Mill's reply:

    Thank you for such a sweet review! We enjoyed having your family here at the mill and are so glad you had a wonderful time. We wish Margaret and Reginald many blessings in their new marriage. :)

    Perfect venue

    The staff at Laboratory Mill went above and beyond to make our event special. The venue is beautiful and clean. The outside vendors that the Laboratory Mill staff work with are trusted and deliver high quality experiences. Our son was married here and we held the rehearsal dinner in the card room. It was perfect!

    Our daughter got married at The Mill and the overall experience was magical! The facility and staff were amazing and professional. We did not want for anything. This place makes memories that are exactly what you would want for your daughter. Photos were amazing! We danced, laughed and loved every moment. I totally recommend The Mill for your wedding if you want a fabulous experience.

    Absolutely amazing!

    My daughter and I had visited 3 other venues before seeing The Laboratory Mill. Making the choice to have her big day at this venue was easy. The warm, professional and personal greeting started at the first visit which is what set them apart from the others. The owners are great and accommodating as well as their team! They have everything thought out, answered every question we had and even some we didn’t know to even ask. They were more than willing to let us come and look over the venue several times and let us talk things out in order to help us make decisions. We felt comfortable, like we were family. I can’t say enough great things about the owners, staff, and beautiful settings and scenery at The Laboratory Mill!!
