Best Wedding Venue!!

We got married at Elora Mill this past Friday. I cannot stress this enough - book your wedding there. Yes, it is expensive. However, it was so worth it. The staff at Elora Mill are so attentive, friendly, professional, and kind. ESPECIALLY Madison. Madison made our entire day. She was by my side from the beginning of the ceremony until the end of the reception. She anticipated things that I would want or need, she was extremely helpful, she calmed my nerves, she made me feel comfortable. I could not recommend her more.

The food was also exceptional. Every guest raved about the food and how most of the time the food at weddings isn't good but ours was exceptional.

Weddings can be so stressful but I wasn't stressed at all throughout the day. I am so glad we chose Elora Mill and that I was assigned Madison as my Concierge.

Incredible wedding venue and hotel

We had such an incredible wedding at Elora Mill—huge thanks to all the amazing staff who helped make it happen!

The property is absolutely beautiful and works perfectly as both a hotel and a wedding venue. The location couldn’t be better—right by the gorge, with the sound of rushing water just below. The hotel itself is gorgeous, and the rooms all have their own unique charm. The staff were fantastic—super friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed.

The spa was a nice bonus for us, with relaxing views and thoughtful touches like tea, water, cookies, and apples. It really added to the whole experience.

The wedding venue is just steps away from the hotel and just as lovely. The team there really know what they’re doing. They were organized, helpful, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The food was also amazing—every meal was delicious, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about it.

Bobbie and the Events Team were with us every step of the way during the wedding planning process. They made it all feel less overwhelming and kept us on track. On our wedding day, Sam and Madison were absolute lifesavers. They handled everything—from coordinating with vendors to setting up and even playing the ceremony music. We felt totally supported and taken care of all day long.

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Elora Mill!

The most magical day of our lives 💖

I want to begin by saying that I was anti-wedding for the longest time. I was convinced it wasn’t worth the money, and that the industry was overrated. I had reached out to other venues who I felt didn’t take me seriously as I was planning our wedding from abroad, and I felt as though I was just a number. However, all of my feelings of resentment towards having a wedding changed the second I contacted Elora Mill. Aside from being the most beautiful venue I’ve ever seen (and I literally had only seen it through photos since we had to plan virtually), they were thorough, attentive and I never felt like a number. I knew immediately that we were going to be in good hands, which made booking this venue a no brainer.

Throughout our 15 months of planning, I was the luckiest bride in the world to be assigned to Bobbie. Bobbie was a dream come true to work with, so much so that I was dreading my wedding day because I didn’t want to say goodbye to her LOL. I never waited longer than 48 hours for an email reply, I was always greeted with the biggest smile, no accommodation request was too large, and I can’t thank her enough for going out of her way to accommodate my mom and her disability to make sure she felt special and had a great day. Just 10/10 one of the best humans I’ve ever met - I would do this all again with her if I could, and I hope our paths cross again ❤️

Just when we thought we couldn’t get any more lucky, we were assigned to Tyson, Mel and Sam on our wedding day. This team was truly our built-in bffs as we didn’t have to worry about a thing, and they were always one step ahead of everything (I swear they were mind readers because everything I had requested, they already had done). I also need to personally thank Tyson for creating the most magical moment of our day. During our room reveal, he had requested our DJ to play a song for us that my husband had referenced in his vows. This moment was so thoughtful, and something that he really didn’t have to do for us, but it was genuinely the most magical moment we have ever experienced. Tyson, we will be thinking about this moment every day, for the rest of our lives, and we can’t thank you enough ❤️

If you’re on the fence about booking Elora Mill, this is your sign to just do it. All of our guests, and even our vendors, admitted that not only was this one of the most magical weddings they’ve attended, it was one of the most magical days of their lives, too. We don’t have a single regret about anything, and if time machines were real, we would go back and relive this day 100x over.

We love this team and this venue so much. Thank you all for helping make the magic 💖

With love and so much gratitude,
Rachel & Gio

Best Venue EVER!

My husband and I got married at the Elora Mill this past January. From beginning to end, the Elora Mill was so high class! Our coordinator Bobbie was incredible, we can’t say enough amazing things about her! She guided us through it all from start to finish and made the 7 month planning process so fun and enjoyable! On the day of our wedding the whole staff was so fantastic, Erica was an absolute life saver in keeping my hair in check, keeping me warm in between outdoor photos in the snow, bustling my dress, and even helping me in the bathroom to do a surprise dress change! We are still getting so many compliments on our wedding, the gorgeous venue, but mostly the incredible service! Our family is even planning to come back to the mill every year now to celebrate our anniversary! We cannot recommend the Elora Mill enough, please have your wedding here!!

Winter Wedding Dreams Come True!

My husband and I have the deepest appreciation for Elora Mill and there great staff. They were an amazing support throughout the wedding planning process, we always left our meetings feeling prepared and understood.

Everything flowed seamlessly the day of, allowing us to fully be in the moment, from day's start to day's end, without worry. That's a huge deal and something we'll never forget. The wedding was phenomenal and more than what we could have ever imagined and we couldn't have navigated the whole thing without their guidance, direction and dedication.

The staff members worked incredibly hard to ensure no detail was spared and everything was just as we had asked for (and imagined it would be). We both want to extend our sincerest thanks from the bottom of our hearts.

We 10000% recommend Elora Mill as a wedding venue!

A dream come true from beginning to end!

From the moment we met the team at the Elora for our first tour we had the most incredible experience. Bobbie and her team were absolutely fantastic, always around to answer our questions along the way and adding little touches wherever possible to make us feel special. We felt so taken care of and had so much help with tons of meetings and constant follow ups to see where we were at in our planning process. They are a well oiled machine and know exactly what to do to create a dream wedding. Our food tasting was amazing and got us even more excited for the night of. To describe our wedding in one word would be magical. Everything was so well planned and executed and allowed us to just enjoy our day. The recommended vendors we used were top notch and Bobbie, Emily, Sam and their team worked meticulously so that every detail was perfect. We could not have been happier with our day and our experience at the Elora including the spa which was a lovely way to unwind! We were truly given such a wonderful experience by every member of staff and everyone who worked to make our day special. All our family and friends keep saying is how stunning the venue was, how great the food was, and how wonderful of a time they had. We cannot recommended the Elora Mill enough!!

Wedding at the Mill!

My husband and I got married back in August of this year, and it was hands down the most magical experience of our lives! The staff, food and quality of service was above and beyond at every turn, with our guests still raving about everything until now. I honestly wanted to give a special shoutout to my day of coordinator Emily, who was exceptional in all aspects, she put out every fire, and was on top of her game throughout our meal testing and our wedding, literally couldn’t have done it without her! Thank you to everyone at Elora Mill for making August 11 2024 a day we will never forget and honestly a day we don’t ever WANT to forget🤍

The most beautiful venue

Elora Mill was the best vendor to work with. Not only is the space magical and beautiful the staff and wedding planners were also so friendly. We worked with Sam and she was so sweet and very responsive. The mill made my wedding day go seamless and I would highly recommend getting married here! The food is outstanding and the town of Elora is the perfect backdrop. 10/10!! :)

A Dream Wedding Venue

Having a wedding at the Elora Mill is truly like being part of a fairytale. The town of Elora is quietly picturesque and cobblestoned with so much character and history. Every beautiful detail in the venue itself has been thought about - the exposed wooden beams, the gorgeous chandeliers, the mirror panelled walls and the wood-burning fireplace in the chapel. There are so many amazing locations for photos inside and out.

Right from our very first meeting with the Mill, they went out of their way to treat us as cherished guests - giving us delicious house-made pastries and champagne! Samantha reviewed their packages with us and had answers for all of our (many) questions. We continued to work with Samantha all throughout the planning process and found her to very approachable, responsive, friendly and easy to work with. Samantha and the Mill made wedding planning so much easier by providing many built-in extras - and the service is unmatched. Best of all, they are dog friendly and we were able to include our beloved girl in our day. They are also an inclusive venue which was very important to us.

On our wedding day, Erica served as our concierge and she was the best wingwoman! She really took excellent care of us and always made sure we had something to eat and drink. She assisted with photos, coordinating the rest of the bridal party, keeping things running on time, delivering snacks for the bridal party and even came down into the Elora Gorge with us after our ceremony. She in particular went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day ever.

Catarina ran our rehearsal and ceremony making sure that things went smoothly, the music was perfect, and that everyone knew their place and what to do.

Melissa, our maître’ D, took care of our guests and ensured that all of their needs were met. We had so much excellent feedback on the food, the drinks, the service, the location and how smoothly everything was run.

We feel so fortunate to have been able to get married at this incredible gem of a venue and cannot wait to make a yearly tradition of visiting for our Anniversary. Our most heartfelt thanks to the Elora Mill team for helping us make our dream wedding come true!

Our Dream Wedding Day

Our wedding day was beyond spectacular. My husband and I cannot thank the amazing staff at the Elora Mill enough. From start to finish the entire planning process was seamless and stress free. We want to send a special shoutout to our special events sales consultant, Samantha who worked diligently with us on every detail and explained everything in a manner that really put us at ease and made our dream wedding come true.

Thank you to Catarina for running a seamless rehearsal with us and our family. She made it fun and got us even more excited for the next days adventure.

We did decide to host our rehearsal dinner at the main Elora Mill Restaurant as well, the food and setting was beyond amazing. We just wanted to send a huge thank you to the restaurant team who was able to execute a dinner party of so many people for us, it really elevated our close family and friends experience and gave them a glimpse of what was to come the next day.

On the day of the wedding, we have nothing but positive things to say about each and every staff member who tended to our guests. Everyone was extremely kind and excited for the day. Evan and Mel, who were there to support throughout the day really went above and beyond for us. They were always hyper aware of all that was going on the entire night and their attentiveness really showed through when it came to our guests.

Our concierge Erica was extremely wonderful and really made sure we were taken care of the entire day, she was with us from start to finish from our photo route to end of night dancing. It seemed everytime we turned around she was there to see if we needed anything whether it was big or small, which really made us feel taken care of and stress free the entire day. Even when my husband and I went rouge with our photograph and videographer to get some unscheduled sunset photos, Erica was on it and joined us where we were in case we needed anything. Nothing escaped her, which was amazing!

All of our guests raved about the food from our cocktail service to our reception dinner service, you can really tell those who make it have a passion for their craft. We still have people talking about how amazing it was.

The property itself is stunning and so well taken care of. When you are at the venue it really does feel like you are stepping into a fairytale. We could not of been happier to say we got married at the Elora Mill and we highly recommend anyone who is looking for a venue to book an appointment, you will be blown away with the service and will not be disappointed. The staff here know exactly what they are doing and blew every other venue we toured out of the water.

Thank you to absolutely everyone at the Elora Mill, including all the staff who worked so hard behind the scenes and we didn’t get to meet. Every detail was taken care of and we want you to know how much we appreciated everyone’s efforts. From the bottoms of our hearts THANK YOU for making our dream wedding day come true. We could never thank you enough! We truly cannot recommend a more perfect venue to host your celebrations.

With gratitude,
