History
Located in one of the oldest communities in Ontario, Ancaster Mill has stood at the centre of local history for more than 200 years. The mill is a formidable stone structure with four feet thick walls, built with limestone blocks sourced from the property. The Ciancone family purchased the mill in 1972 and began transforming the historical landmark into a charmingly elegant restaurant and special events venue. Today, this venue is esteemed for its sensational food and phenomenal hospitality.
The special events team was so accommodating and personable with every question and covid related anxiety we had. They made our day seamless and absolutely wonderful, to the point of perfection. I can’t recommend them enough!

Perfect winter venue
We were so thrilled with our venue choice for our winter wedding.
Pearle Weddings are the best of the best when it comes to weddings. Their experience sets them above, and their consultants are absolutely amazing to work with.
We had Megan as our consultant and she was the most enthusiastic person I think I’ve ever met. We loved our experience with her and would absolutely recommend working with her and with Pearle Weddings to anyone. We had a family member who was going to assist with some of the setup on the day of, but when she arrived the Mill staff had already done it and there was nothing left for her to have to do!
The day of went so smoothly, our concierge was amazing and made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. Honestly, if anything went wrong on the wedding day we were completely unaware and I attribute that to the Mill staff taking care of everything.
We also loved our officiant who was assigned as part of our package with the Mill, so would also recommend using their officiants.
