Millbrook Cathedral was Pure Magic

My husband and I married at the Millbrook Cathedral last week, which was absolutely beautiful!
The staff on-site, the location, and the pop-wedding package were more than I could have ever asked for! Every detail they put into our special day was beyond perfect. I highly recommend them for any event if you want to have the most magical day ever! The Millbrook Cathedral is a stunning venue with friendly and kind staff. Thank you for everything!

A perfect day!

I can’t say enough good things about this beautiful venue and wonderful staff. Liz was phenomenal to work with, always responded quickly and answered our many many questions. People say the day flies by, but both my husband and I didn’t feel that way, and I think that’s a testament to how well planned and organized everything was. We had time to actually take it all in and enjoy the day, without feeling overwhelmed and rushed. Everyone of our guests commented on how beautiful and inviting the space was. To see our vision fully come to life because of this beautiful venue and staff was absolutely incredible. We can’t thank you enough!

The wedding of our dreams

We fell in love with the Millbrook Cathedral for the high ceilings and stained glass windows. From the pictures alone we knew we wanted to get married here. Working with the venue only solidified that feeling. The venue was so accommodating throughout the entire process. From date changes to package modifications, we were able to customize our small pop-up wedding to fit our needs. We would absolutely recommend this gorgeous historic space to anyone looking for a flexible venue to tie the knot!

SO Grateful!

My fiance and I are in a unique situation where we are trying to lock down "big" vendors for our 2023 wedding prior to me starting grad school next year. Susan and Liz were so acommodating with allowing us to tour and put our deposit down this year with the provision that if their "deals" changed we could receive the higher amount of the two. They are so responsive to emails and phone calls and answer all of our questions no matter how small or seemingly "silly"! I cannot wait to marry my best friend in this beautiful venue!

The Perfect Pop-Up Wedding

We had our wedding last month at Millbrook Cathedral and we're over the moon with how it all turned out. The venue itself is stunning with multiple picture perfect areas inside and out. We went with their pop-up wedding offer and added an extra hour to the ceremony and I definitely think we made the right decision - Liz and her team were so attentive and helpful from the very start and provided so many options to customize to make this truly feel like our special day. The vendors they use are fantastic and other than providing some direction on preferences when it came to things like florals and cake there was little that we needed to do in the lead up, and we were delighted to see it all come together on the big day.

I would whole-heartedly recommend booking Millbrook Cathedral for your wedding or event!

Wedding of my dreams

Millbrook Cathedral provided us with the wedding of our dreams - the staff was brilliant, the location was PERFECT and the iconic red doors made the photos memorable! As the evening went on, the setting felt so romantic and intimate. I couldn't have imagined having our wedding anywhere else. THANK YOU! xx

A Beautiful Venue

My husband and I got married 2 weeks ago at Millbrook and it was a great experience! Communication with Susan, Liz, and other employees was very smooth and they always had a kind tone during communication. The venue, indoors and out was clean and beautiful on our big day. The base fee was reasonable considering the wedding industry these days. The bar fees and security was reasonable as well. I personally found the fees for the extra hours we booked to be very high but we were fully informed and it was our choice. The person who was to open thr Cathedral was late and we were all waiting to get in but things happen. The bartender Chantal was awesome! My guests and I loved her. I personally did find the two recommended food vendors to be limiting as one was way over our budget and the other food vendor we went with was very disappointing. If we wanted to look for a different food vendor we would have been charged more money from Millbrook Cathedral so overall the food situation was disappointing. The security guard was lovely. The venue kept the building nice and cool for us so no one overheated while dancing. The washrooms were cute! The dressing rooms are amazing and the basement is so gorgeous. Overall the property and building is beautiful and we would recommend this venue!

Everything I wanted!

It was exactly what I wanted, they accommodated and had everything I asked, even if i had asked a day before the wedding!
Everyone LOVED the DJ he did a great job and also I loved Megan my photographer and her amazing sense of humour! I got lots of compliments on the venue and how beautiful it was!

Poor communication

The venue was beautiful and prefect for what we wanted but the quality of service was not frustrating. I was warned of this before we decided to get married there and now I know why. It felt like a fight for everything little thing. Massive lack of communication between employees. I got asked three days before my wedding if my ceremony was indoors, even though it has been arranged since the beginning that it was outdoors and someone had also emailed me a week before asking the same thing. I thought I had made certain arrangements after the contract was signed but nothing got changed and when asked what happen, the reply was always ‘that was not apart of the contract’. If you do work with them, make sure you get more than a verbal confirmation on things because it apparently means nothing to them.
Again, the venue is beautiful and they provided an amazing officiant but overall, I found the experience with them stressful and did not enjoy working with them.

Venue is stunning. And they literally take care of everything!

I was originally going to have a small at home wedding, and in April realized it was way more work than I wanted to do with how busy life was so I contacted and booked into Millbrook Cathedral.

Because I had planned the officiant and photographer already I brought my own and they gave me a discount on the micro wedding package which was awesome. I did pay for an extra hour since I had my photographer for 6 hours so it allowed us to take our time and really get the photos we wanted.

The venue was perfect. I showed up with the small little things I wanted set up and a tribute to the grooms parents as they have passed on. They did the incredible service of placing that tribute in the front row. Something I didn't even think of, but they knew just what to do.

They did all the coordination and just let us relax and enjoy our day with our family. It is an awesome venue and I'm so thankful I got to have our special day in such a special place.
