Our fall wedding at The Providence Cotton Mill was an absolute fairy tale! The venue's unique and European castle-like look was exactly what we dreamed of. Despite Hurricane Helene hitting just days before, the incredible staff, especially the owner and my coordinator, Sommer, and her amazing side-kick, Laurie, were absolutely incredible. They hustled tirelessly to make everything perfect. As a teacher with lots of creative ideas, I loved that they let me put my personal touch on everything without hesitation. The Providence Cotton Mill is a dream venue with an exceptional team!
