Sarah K. Married on 05/11/2022Megan is dynamite
Ahead of our wedding, we encountered a setback with our initial consultant. Megan jumped in and was absolutely incredible to work with. She is kind, patient and most importantly - listens. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and better understand our wedding day vision. She replied to emails faster than we could send them and was one of the most delightful people I've ever met. On the day of, the Mill went above and beyon. During photos they had drinks and trays of food delivered to us and our wedding party. There was 3 weddings on the night we were married and we barely interacted. The Mill scheduled everyone and made sure that we didn't cross paths during photos. The bridal suite building, parking and some restrooms are shared but outside of that we wouldn't have known other weddings were going on. Thank you Megan for everything!! -

Working with the Ancaster Mill was an absolute dream. The Ancaster Mill was my dream venue since I was young and when they had our ideal date suddenly available, it felt like it was meant to be. The Ancaster Mill takes care of everything and Nycole and the rest of the special events team were incredible. We received compliments all night on how beautiful the venue is, how great the food was, and how wonderful the staff was. We'd recommend the Ancaster Mill to anyone looking for a perfect day!Ancaster Mill's reply:

Jenna B. Married on 10/06/2022Beautiful day!
Planning with Megan was a breeze from start to finish. She was responsive and super organized. She made us feel so special through out the days leading up to our big day! While there were some hiccups with our concierge not being overly pleasant, missing half the day and pushy with our photos also bartenders doing some unacceptable things.. we enjoyed every moment of our day. These were only a minor issues to which I gave my honest feedback to the Mill about. Beautiful venue! You can’t go wrong with hiring them for your big day!Ancaster Mill's reply:
Hello Jenna and Trevor!
Thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to share your review - Your wedding was truly and incredible day!! We do take the valuable feedback you provided to ensure that we can continue to perfect what we do, thank you for being so wonderful throughout the entire planning process and post wedding while working with our team. Wishing you two nothing but love and happiness!

Diana Married on 28/05/2022Great experience
Our experience with the mill was great. Nycole helped us leading up to the day with all the preparation and small details that we didn’t think about. We were a little nervous after our rehearsal about how the day would go- It felt rushed and we felt like our day of coordinator was very short and rude with us and our pastor. However, the day of our wedding was flawless. Everything went smooth and the day was one to remember by many! They did mix up the tables in our reception, but very quickly a team was up to fix it. The fireplace wasn’t on in the chapel, which we requested. But it wasn’t a huge deal, and we didn’t realize until later in the night. The food was delicious and all the staff were delightful to work alongside.Ancaster Mill's reply:
Hello Diana!!
From Nycole and the entire team at Ancaster Mill we want to thank you for choosing to host your special day with us and to share your kind words through this review! Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness and we hope to see you soon!
All the best,
The Ancaster Mill Team
