“The Lodge at Old Mill was the perfect venue for our wedding reception! The beautiful patio for cocktail hour and the spacious, rustic interior were exactly what we were looking for. We were able to fit 150 guests very comfortably. The bridal suite was also very spacious and provided plenty of outlets, which made getting ready very convenient. From our initial tour, the communication with their team was thorough, organized, and transparent. They provided a day-of coordinator who went out of her way on the wedding day to bring us appetizers to nibble on before we got busy meeting all of our guests. She anticipated all of our needs and made sure everything ran smoothly.

For the actual wedding, in-house catering is just so much easier. My personal faves were the Mac n’ cheese egg rolls and brisket. Everyone is already ready to go back. Thank you so much!!”
