The Providence Cotton Mill Reviews

The most BEAUTIFUL venue around! From the time we booked to the wedding day everything was organized and ran smoothly! Sommer and her team went above and beyond to make our day special. We had so many guests tell us how unique and gorgeous this venue was! I cannot recommend this venue enough!

This is the first review I feel compelled to write in 62 years because I feel very strongly about what I’m about to write. The Providence Cotton Mill is a stunning wedding venue. The owners, Sommer and Ethan, and their associates worked extremely hard to make my daughter’s wedding day perfect! I walked away at the end of the night feeling like everyone at The Providence Cotton Mill would have not accepted anything less.

The building is a gorgeous stucco/old brick structure with many large windows allowing the sun to peak through providing numerous opportunities for beautiful one of kind wedding pictures. This is only one component of why The Providence Cotton Mill is a prime venue.

The other reason and the most important reason is the owners, Sommer and her husband, and their associates. Everyone was a pleasure to work with. Leading up to my daughter’s wedding, every single email was answered quickly, even if there were several emails sent in one day or a question was asked previously. Sommer was our month of and day of planner. She was a literal wizard handling every single little detail before, during and after the wedding with enthusiasm and in a calm manner. Her associates were equally as helpful and enthusiastic.

We had an unfortunate problem with charters buses we hired to transport guests to and from the venue. The morning after the wedding, Sommer was still assisting us by sending an email to her contact at the bus company demanding answers and some sort of compensation for us.

I wholeheartedly recommend The Providence Cotton Mill. For the reasons mentioned above, your wedding day will be everything you envision it to be if you have it there.

All of our guests can agree: the venue made our wedding day!! The Providence Cotton Mill is so beautiful alone, we were able to spend less money on flowers and decor because it speaks for itself. The team at PCM was extremely responsive and answered any questions we had. Sommer was a great contact and was very helpful throughout the process. She was willing to work with us on a few things and helped make our day special! We were torn on the venue given it was far out, but If you are on the fence DO IT!! It was worth it and I can't imagine having it anywhere else. We transported our guests via buses and it was perfect. I highly recommend PCM.

My husband and I got married at the mill in December and let me tell you, it was the most beautiful day. Everything was so calm due to the fact that they have an amazing team on staff to ensure the day ran as smoothly as possible. We had endless compliments about the location as well as how wonderful it was to be in an indoor / outdoor facility during COVID. All of our guests felt safe and comfortable due to their safety procedures in place. All in all, a wonderful experience. The bridal and room suites were just what we needed. The owners, Sommer and Ethan, were a pleasure to work with, as well as their decor team at Elegant Classy Events, which they also own.

Me and my husband are from out of NC. (Ohio)
We orginally was gonna do our wedding in SC because that was where I was from.
When we found this venue online, we thought it was too good to be true or if maybe the pictures were just deceiving us.
When we were able to see the venue with our own eyes. We fell in love. It was my vision to have nice high ceiling and lots and lots of natural sunlight shinging through. It was the perfect place we wanted. The venue looked exactly like how the pictures were when we looked.
The owners were just as awesome as the venue.
They did their very best to make your day the best of your life. They also had great staff, they all worked together and also recommended great vendors. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a big spacious place, yet so simple and beautiful.

This venue is stunning! My guests could not stop talking about how beautiful it was. If you're looking for a truly unique place to get married- this is it. Ethan and the whole staff are amazing and so easy to work with. I couldn't recommend them more!

This venue and staff was absolutely perfect. They made our wedding day a dream! Even without tables and decor, this venue was beautiful. It’s a hidden gem in the small town of Maiden, NC.

Couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect wedding venue

I never imagined we could capture the dream our daughter had for an "outdoor, fairy tale ,romantic, and elegant wedding".
The providence Cotton Mill provided the outdoor open air feel with coverage from the downpour of rain that day. The owner was exceptional, working with us on timeline with bridal portraits, onsite meetings, etc as my daughter experienced some traumatic medical diagnosis during her wedding planning. Ethan worked with us scheduling bridal portraits and meetings any time we needed him. Together with his wife, Somer (Elegant and Classy Events, for floral and rental) , they captured and created the wedding my daughter has always envisioned. They were onsite, professional, took care of situations that came up without us ever having to worry about anything! If you are searching for someone that will work with you every step of the way while making you feel you are the only bride they have, look no further!

This venue is fabulous! I had 200 guests at my wedding and there was plenty of space for the ceremony, dancing AND the reception. it was GEORGEOUS! the staff was so helpful with the entire planning process, easily accessible during planning, very flexible and helped me achieve my dream wedding. PLUS, they went the extra mile during the day and made everything run smooth and stress free (I even got to eat!) My guests and people on Facebook continue to comment on how beautiful and unique the venue was and I have to say it was really worth having my wedding here. hands down best wedding venue!! Thanks Providence Cotton Mill!!!

This is an amazing historical venue that has been restored into an open air wedding venue and it is gorgeous! It is very reasonably priced which is always a plus. We chose this venue mainly because of the owners and their amazing hospitality and kindness towards us and willingness to help us out where ever they could for our special day. They were very flexible with our scheduling needs and were there every step of the way which was great since wedding days can get pretty hectic.

If we could do it over again, we would do it the same! The Providence Cotton Mill was a DREAM! Our friends and family are still talking about how gorgeous our wedding was BECAUSE of the venue! It is unique, beautiful, and the perfect place for your special day. The staff was wonderful, and we would highly recommend Abigail for your coordinator! Our wedding was perfect, we believe it was because of this perfect venue, and the best staff!

Amazing venue, really different. Tons of bathrooms and space. Staff was great to work with!

Josh and Doc are wonderful people! They restored the mill themselves and it's a gorgeous venue, priced very reasonably compared to other venues in the area - but nothing around quite like Providence. Was perfect for our September wedding, gorgeous in the daylight and even prettier at night. If you're looking for a rustic and simple venue that doesn't need much decorating - this is it. The beauty of the venue didn't require much on our part.

I only rated off for flexibility, because Josh and Doc are very protective over the mill. If what you want to do doesn't fit into their rules, they probably won't be budging. Keep in mind, this is a building in the 1800's that they have restored themselves, they're right to be picky over what happens on their property. Very organized and though they've only been open for a little over a year - they've done over 40 weddings now and have it down to a science.

Very professional and helpful! Would highly recommend!

The Providence Cotton Mill is absolutely gorgeous! All of my guests commented on how beautiful and unique it was. It made a stunning backdrop for photos. I'm really happy with my choice! However, they're a bit strict so I would just study the contract thoroughly to make sure you are ok with all of the conditions before making your decision. The pros outweighed the cons for me, but some of the contract terms were truthfully frustrating to deal with.
