“As soon as we arrived, we were so glad that we had chosen Milton Ridge and knew that we had made the right choice. All of the staff were very welcoming and helpful. They were with us through every step of our wedding day with lots of support and smiles. The cottage for getting ready is very cute, the chapel is beautiful, and the reception hall is great as well. They have many services included in their various wedding packages like catering, DJ, photographer, and cake. They also have outside vendors that they work with frequently, such as hair and make-up and a florist, who are all wonderful. They are inclusive, and they are supportive of LGBT weddings. My now wife and I are part of the LGBT community, and we were treated very well by the entire team. We were able to have our wedding exactly how we wanted, and they worked with us on every detail. On the day, they had the entire day scheduled and kept us on track, which is actually so necessary and helpful on a day when you're trying to do so many things. Everything went smoothly and as stress free as a wedding can be. It was truly a wonderful day. Thank you so much to the whole team! -Harley and Jackie”

“Drumore Mill was an absolutely stunning venue to use for our special day (really weekend). We loved the ease of booking the venue, touring with Thuy, and the promptness and flexibility they offer. An added bonus is the available on site lodging for rental, which we made great use of for our close friends, family, and wedding party to stay in the night before and night of the wedding. We enjoyed the Great Room in the Grist Mill for our rehearsal dinner. Our guests loved how spacious Drumore Mill was, and we appreciated all the attention to detail such as included (but still optional) decor and greenery, and the setup of chairs and other items for the ceremony space. Being able to bring in all of our own vendors at no additional cost was fantastic. The value for renting the property from Thursday to Saturday morning was unmatched and completely worth it. We would recommend Drumore Mill to anyone, and we look forward to booking the property in the future for non-wedding related stays with friends and family.”

“The Hummingbird Chateau was the perfect choice for our wedding venue! From the beginning, Leah’s communication was quick and responsive, which was greatly appreciated during the busy wedding planning process. The space itself was absolutely stunning, with so many decor options to choose from, multiple areas we could choose from for our ceremony and actual bathrooms for our guests! From the moment we booked I was able to call or text her with any questions I had and was also able to stop by multiple times to choose which decor pieces I wanted to use and to go over decor layouts. On the day of the wedding, Leah and the rest of the staff were there all day to help with anything we needed! They helped setup all the decor and even helped cleaned up afterwards. She also coordinated with our other vendors day of and made sure everything was running smooth! She made our day completely stress free.
