We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our special day. Lauren from the Old Mill was unbelievable throughout our entire planning process and on the day helped everything go ahead without a hitch! The rest of the staff were also an absolute pleasure including DJ Edd in the evening and the bar staff. The venue was the perfect size for our day and there was nothing better than being on their new patio on a summer's day! -

We got married in May and it was one of the best days of our lives. When we set our eyes on the Old Mill, it was a cold, bright February day. No leaves on the trees and the flowers haven’t bloomed yet. But it still took our breath away. I remember thinking, “If it looked this lovely in February, imagine what it would like in May.” And it was the best decision we ever made.
The Old Mill has a lawn area, the perfect spot for our marquee. The Mill Room and bar area are spacious and full of possibilities. But it was the Conservatory that really sealed the deal for us. Having gone a recent refurb, the area is even more gorgeous than before!
The team at the Old Mill were so supportive and always helpful when we had questions! Lauren has charm and we were so glad to have her be there to guide us through the day. The Old Mill has connections with their own recommended vendors, which made the process of planning a wedding that much easier.
Our guests had a fabulous time and raved about how beautiful the venue was. We honestly couldn’t have done this without everyone at The Old Mill. Thank you for helping us bring the wedding of our dreams to life!!

Charlotte Sent on 24/06/2023Amazing venue!
My partner and I had our wedding here in June 2023, and wow! We cannot thank Chris and the team at the Old Mill enough. Everything about our day ran so smoothly and the team at the Old Mill were amazing. Our guests, as well as ourselves absolutely loved it there, and cannot recommend it enough to couples! -

Beautiful venue!
The Old Mill is such a beautiful venue. We fell in love with it immediately and our guests loved it too. It’s very pretty in the summer when it is in full bloom. Chris our venue contact was really helpful from the beginning and he helped our day to run very smoothly. Highly recommend this gorgeous quirky venue. -

Layla W. Sent on 30/05/2023Great day, but their greed has left us hesitant to return
We honestly felt we couldn't fault them on the day. The staff were amazing and helped add to the fun of the wedding. However (all future ideas of returning for other celebrations have now stopped due to lack of trust)...
Something to be aware of; after we paid our deposit and payments were agreed, they did try and sneak in an additional payment without telling us, it was very clearly not included before (I know this because I checked specifically). When I did mention this, they agreed to leave the payment on this occassion and we respectfully stuck to our promises in order to ease their minds that it was the right decision. Fast-forward to a few weeks after our wedding and I am told that they will not be giving us our £250 deposit due to an agreement made with the catering company on the day of the wedding, which my husband and I had no idea of (this should not have been done by either side as I had already put in writing that the kitchen should not be used). The catering company are saying that the venue isn't being truthful and in addition, the venue offered up space for ease, and the venue is saying that the catering company were using things they shouldn't have used. In all honesty, I feel like I'm trying to manage a disagreement between children, and whilst all of this is going on, it is our money being withheld because of an agreement made without our consent. This was raised and the owners had said that because they waivered the additonal charge (that they had added in after agreed prices) and the £85 cake cutting fee (not asked to do, but was done as a goodwill gesture) that this was the fairest conclusion they could come to. Now, after spending around 6k or more, (nevermind the money they took in on the day,) I believe this is just greedy!£250 is a lot of money to us and whatever it is that has happened has nothing to do with us.
Please be wary of "good will gestures" as this may bite you in the butt after! A shame to end our experience in this way. -

Cara O. Sent on 22/04/2023Superb venue, fabulous team!
We had our wedding celebration party here for 100 guests and it was completely magical. A recently refurbished patio and gazebo area (plus some April sunshine!) made for a beautiful welcome reception with drinks and canapés. Paellas, a dessert and cheese table and fabulous music from in-house DJ Edd, plus a late license, made for an unforgettable evening. This was a “second time around” wedding for us both and we actually married in Costa Rica in December (just the two of us), but wanted somewhere special to celebrate with family and friends. Lauren and Chris were simply brilliant, nothing was too much trouble and they made the whole experience stress free and hugely enjoyable. Thank you Old Mill- we will be back for future family celebrations! -

The Old Mill really is a beautiful venue with a great small team of people running it. From first viewing up until our wedding day the team were amazing.
We cannot fault Chris for his incredible hard work as well as Evie who was great at problem solving when any issues had arisen.
The new software package, Sonas, is perfect for helping to organise the day. When we met with Chris prior to the wedding, he was great with the detail. He was also amazing on the day.
The Old Mill really is the perfect wedding venue. Thank you to the whole team, you really made our special day, perfect.The Old Mill's reply:

I would like to take the time to thank you for such kind and heart warming words, to read this was a wonderful feeling knowing that it made the day the best it could possibly be for yourself, Courtney, and your guests.
Myself and Evie would like to thank you for making our day a delight to work, it was a true privilege to be part of your wedding day. We wish you all the best for your future marriage together.
