Allison Sent on 09/10/2023Wonderful experience
We found the Mill while searching venues and knew the minute we set foot on site that we were going to go with them. The entire place is beautiful and we loved the options for ceremony sites - we were fortunate that the weather held for us and we had our ceremony in the Mill ruins as planned. The majority of our guests were from out of state and the on-site cottages were a key factor for us. Everyone loved the cottages, the venue, the brewery, and everything. Our day-of coordinator, Abby, was lovely to work with and it was such a relief to have her handle everything to make sure they day went smoothly. The food was AMAZING and we had a great time planning the menu. Our guests could not stop complimenting the food, drinks, and entire experience. We also appreciated their willingness to accommodate gluten free options, as I am Celiac. The majority of our menu was made gluten free, and the entire staff made sure that I knew what wasn't and brought me separate, gluten-free portions of both the passed appetizers and the main meal. Our cake was entirely gluten free, absolutely beautiful, and delicious! No one even realized it was gluten free, which is a feat. Overall an excellent spot, and we'll continue to visit the brewery in months to come! Cannot recommend them highly enough. -

I cannot recommend the Mill enough. We have them what we wanted and then they took care of EVERYTHING to the most minute detail! It was so nice to get to be present on our day and let them sweat the details! Beth, our coordinator through the Mill, was amazing! The food was SO GOOD and we got to pick exactly what we wanted. Plus, it’s beautiful! -

We knew we wanted to get married at the Mill before we even got engaged. It is such a perfect wedding venue with beautiful grounds- there are so many great spots for photos and to have your ceremony. The staff are wonderful. Melissa gave us multiple venue tours before booking and she was so patient while answering all of our questions. Beth the coordinator was such a joy to work with and made us feel like we could just relax on the day of our wedding and not worry about a thing! She was attentive to our needs and very organized. Our guests loved the food and Lisa and her team did a wonderful job with planning our menu. We received so many positive comments about the bartending staff as well! If you are looking for a beautiful, all-inclusive venue with a getting ready space, on site accommodations, top notch food and bar menu- The Mill at Fine Creek is the best spot in Richmond. -

I cannot say enough about The Mill at Fine Creek!! Even three months after the wedding, we’re still constantly getting compliments about the venue, the food, and the staff. The Mill provided everything we could have ever wanted in a wedding venue and made the planning process a breeze.
Melissa, our day of coordinator, was amazing and eased any and all stressors and solved any problems that came up. Pierre, the pastry chef, made us an incredible wedding cake and delicious macarons. Our guests raved about the food, the bar, and our cocktail hour options. The Mill let us run wild and made our dream wedding a reality, including going the extra mile and finding the gummy sharks we wanted for our signature drinks.
The ruins are beautiful and make for gorgeous photos. The bridal suite is beautiful and perfect to get ready in. We comfortably fit our hair and makeup team, five bridesmaids, two moms, and myself and still had room for the photographers to get their shots. The groom’s cottage is large and gave our guys plenty of space to relax before the ceremony. Do yourself a favor and stay in the Miller’s Cottage after your wedding! It was so nice being able to just walk next door after everything was over.
You cannot find a better wedding venue option. It’s gorgeous, the catering is amazing, the bar is fully stocked and reasonably priced, and the staff is incredible. -

Love love love this venue!
My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, and reception at the Mill at the end of May. Not only is the entire venue (inside and out) absolutely stunning, but the staff at the Mill are so incredible to work with! All communication and planning was timely and effortless, with each person (including Lisa, Kim, Pierre, Bryan, and others) taking care to make our day exactly how we envisioned it.
We received endless compliments from our guests on the food (apps, dinner, and cake made by the Mill), as well as how gorgeous the whole venue is. Our wedding party stayed two nights in the cottages on site, which are equally cute and perfect. This made the whole weekend for our family and wedding party so much more relaxed and enjoyable, not having to worry about driving and being able to spend more quality time with each other. If you're contemplating staying at the cottages, I promise you won't regret it! Getting married at this venue is a true dream come true. -

Absolutely, positively, hands-down, cannot imagine there is a better venue out there. From the absolutely amazing experience planning with Kim (who was so incredibly thoughtful; sometimes I would off-handedly mention an idea and MONTHS later SHE would remember and I would be the one to forget) to the absolutely breathtaking views, their incredible working relationships with vendors, to the impeccable food including CAKE! This was the greatest decision we made. I've heard so many friends have such a terrible time with their wedding planning and mine was an absolute pleasure. Our guests were awestruck and in wonderment. The service was seamless and Kim helped me get things set up the entire day and was even helping to chill me out. The Mill has such a special place in my heart and I will cherish this day forever. Thank you so so so so much to the entire staff. Y'all made it so easy and I am forever grateful! I love you guys! I could gush forever but just know we were extremely, extremely pleased with every detail. Thank you, guys, from the bottom of my heart. -

Frank and I recently wedded at this venue and did our reception here as well. We loved it, nothing can be “perfect” but if anything ever could be it was our day here at the Mill. The entire staff was so welcoming and helpful to make our day! Our family and friends raved and continue to do so about the beautiful property and the food and cake! I highly recommend the Mill at Fine Creek! -

From the day we visited The Mill at Fine Creek, we received nothing but professionalism, attentiveness, and good vibes. I knew immediately that we would be married at the Mill. Lisa and Beth were instrumental in delivering the wedding of our dreams. We are still receiving compliments about the beauty of the venue, the deliciousness of the food, and the graciousness of the staff. The cherries on top were the adjacent cottages (where our families stayed) and the brewery where we held our Rehearsal Dinner. Just perfect! -

The Mill at Fine Creek? More like The Mill at BEST Creek
Y’all...first, I have to say that being a Covid bride was definitely not an ideal situation to be in...but that’s why your vendors and venue should matter even more! My husband and I got married at The Mill at Fine Creek on August 13th after having to postpone from November 13th of last year...and it could not have been MORE PERFECT! When I initially reached out about the need to postpone, Melissa, the GM, was so lovely and gave me a list of not only the open Fridays for 2021, but a current update of cottage availability for the dates. She knew that we had a number of out of town guests so that little touch was just one of many that the amazing folks at The Mill took into account. The communication from everyone throughout the whole planning process and the day of was top notch! Future brides- keep in mind that this is a venue that is GORGEOUS on its own. We did zero decor for our ceremony site and our guests are still telling us how beautiful it was. The tables, chairs, place settings, glassware, tablecloths, napkins, etc are ALL INCLUDED in the venue price. I had zero anxiety about that stuff and got to focus on the important concepts of our big day because of it. We are also still getting messages everyday from folks raving about the food (it’s seriously the best) and how lovely it was that they had their own beers (brewery right up the hill!) on tap. The Benusas have done a PHENOMENAL job with this venue and they have the best staff on hand to make your big day your literal dream come true ❤️ Thank you all again for everything!!! The Berans love you! -

Hannah L. Sent on 07/17/2021The Mill at Fine Creek was PERFECT
We got married in May using the elopement package they offer and it was perfect! When choosing a venue, one of our greatest priorities was finding a place that would enable us to have our wedding that didn't feel like a "cookie-cutter" experience. Between the multiple ceremony sites, the highly customizable menu, their in-house pastry chef, and how flexible they were with flowers, decorations, day-of timeline, etc, we were truly able to design a wedding that was unique to us. The food was incredible, from appetizers to entrees to the cake! They are very receptive to food suggestions and seemed prepared to make anything. The star dish at our wedding was a Spanish paella that everyone loved! Pierre, the in-house pastry chef, designed a beautiful wedding cake that he detailed with edible cherry blossoms.
The venue really is a one stop shop for all your wedding needs. They have a private cottage for the bride and groom to stay in overnight as well as a limited number of other cottages onsite for guests to stay in too. They provide table linens (of all different colors and styles to choose from) and have multiple table setting options (table numbers, votives, etc), and easels. At a cheap cost, they will provide lunch and drinks for the wedding parties as they are getting ready. They also have a bubble machine for the bride and groom exit.
The overall service from the venue was outstanding. Lisa, Kim, and Melissa made the planning process enjoyable and very easy. The day of the wedding the staff were incredibly attentive and all events ran smoothly. We were so impressed and appreciative of the entire execution of the wedding by The Mill Team. We couldn't recommend this venue more. -

What a wonderful venue with equally wonderful staff. The entire process with them was so easy. We worked with their coordinator and she (Kim F.) held our hand the entire process. The owner,Lisa, was also helpful and was creative with her food selections, and always listening to our thoughts. The grounds are beautiful- cannot say enough how happy we were with the venue and staff. -

You cannot go wrong with The Mill at Fine Creek. We had to change our plans due to COVID-19 and we reached out the The Mill and I cannot tell you how wonderful they were! We were able to be fit in last minute and had an amazing elopement. We could not have gotten married without them and I will be singing their praises as often and as loudly as I can! -

Adrienne R. Sent on 01/02/2020Made our Wedding Day a Dream Come True!
Our experience at the Mill at Fine Creek blew away our every expectation from our very first visit. We worked directly with Lisa (the owner), Pierre (the pastry chef), Colleen (our wonderful day-of coordinator), Kendall (the hospitality coordinator), and many other welcoming and accommodating people. Leading up the big day, the staff maintained absolutely excellent communication and responded very quickly to emails and calls for every question and concern we had. They were incredibly flexible and were very generous with allowing us to change our entrees chart/guest count just days before the event due to a death in the family.
The day of was nothing short of magical. Lisa, Kendall, Colleen, and everyone else at the venue the day of our ceremony went above and beyond helping us set up the venue and make sure that every detail was stunning- they even put together and set up all of our table decorations and centerpieces while we were getting ready!
In no fault of the venue, there was an issue with the transportation company which caused our guests to arrive 30 minutes late for the ceremony, but not only did they do a wonderful job adjusting the timeline and speaking with the other vendors, they even gave us the option to extend the reception to make up for the half hour free of charge!
So many of our guests were asking us how we found such a beautiful venue; many told us that it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to- of course with some bias, I absolutely agree! My fiance and I were absolutely floored, and are looking forward to spending our anniversaries at the cottages to 'relive' our storybook wedding. Thank you all so much for all your hard work! I will definitely be recommending this venue to ALL of my friends who get engaged in the future!!
