The team at Ancaster Mill was phenomenal. Everyone was so kind and very professional. From the moment we arrived to when the last guest left everything we needed was taken care of. A huge thank you to Megan and Emily for making our special day perfect! I would recommend Ancaster Mill to anyone!Ancaster Mill's reply:

Rachel V. Sent on 20/10/2024Amazing venue and people
I helped plan my sister Kara’s wedding at the Mill (and also had my own bridal shower there). 5 stars all around.
Nycole was the event coordinator and was A++ - professional, warm, lovely and easy to communicate with. Elena was the day of wedding coordinator and she was the best - she was attentive, accommodating and had the sunniest disposition. Both Nycole and Elena were a true pleasure to work with, absolute shining stars.
The venue itself is unmatched. Gorgeous grounds and event rooms. The food was spectacular - and it’s hard to get good prime rib these days! Additional mentions to the officiant of the Chapel and even the shuttle driver - both lovely gentlemen. Would recommend without hesitation. -

Romantic Venue, Amazing Staff
My husband and I got married at the Ancaster Mill in December 2022 and had a fantastic time from start to finish. The mill team, especially Megan, made everything so easy. They were very adaptable and receptive to feedback.
Other than wanting a stunning venue for the winter, we were dedicated to finding a kitchen that could handle dietary restrictions. I and several of our family members have celiac disease and cannot have gluten. Our entire wedding reception was gluten free, and it was delicious! The custom appetizers were particularly amazing.
I will also throw in here that we did our first look at the barracks inn next door and it was absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks so much to the Ancaster Mill team!! -

Rachel M. Sent on 25/09/2024"Magical Wedding Experience - Beyond Our Expectations!"
"We couldn’t be more thrilled with our wedding experience at Ancaster. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Our coordinator, Emily, was a dream to work with and ensured that every detail of our day was perfectly executed. The day-of team, including Emma, Sash, and Nicole, worked tirelessly to make sure everything ran smoothly, and the bar staff kept the drinks flowing all night. Our officiant Brad was incredible, adding a personal and heartfelt touch to the ceremony. The food was absolutely delicious – our guests are still raving about it! And of course, the venue’s stunning backdrop created the most magical atmosphere for our special day. We are so grateful for everyone who made our wedding unforgettable."Ancaster Mill's reply:
Congratulations Rachel & Micheal!!
We are so happy that you had such an amazing day and thank you so much for all of the specific staff recognition, we'll be sure to pass along your kind words! We could not be happier for you both & we look forward to being able to host you again for many future celebrations and anniversaries!
Warm Regards,

Cameron B. Sent on 29/08/2024Hands down the best. ever.
Annemarie and I want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Emily and her incredible team for making our wedding day unforgettable.
The entire event was flawlessly organized, and we’re still in awe of how smoothly everything went. A special shoutout to Helen (Mother of the Bride), who has notoriously high expectations—your team exceeded them all, and our whole family agrees!
The thoughtful gift were a delightful surprise and added a personal touch that we truly appreciated. Your partnership with Peter, the photographer, was fantastic—he captured every moment beautifully.
We can’t praise Sash and Maria enough, along with the amazing service from the servers, chefs, bartender, and all the staff. A special thank you for accommodating our request to have Sash as our right-hand woman that day—she was outstanding! Honestly, Sash deserves a raise—she’s that good!
Not a single complaint from our guests—everyone loved the food and the venue. It was a perfect day, right down to the weather. We’re so grateful for the professionalism and dedication of your entire team. Annemarie, the bridge, specifically said that the day was perfect and if anything did in fact go wrong in the day, she had no idea about it - this is amazing feedback as the bride shouldn't have to worry about anything and on our day, she didn't have to thanks to you all - I truly appreciate this.
Annemarie and I wholeheartedly recommend Emily, the wonderful office staff, the exceptional food, and the top-notch service to anyone who will listen. We’re thrilled that you were a part of our special day and can’t wait to return to Ancaster Mill for a meal! As they do brunch and dinner services as well if you don't know.
Thank you so much, you all are truly amazing. Please share our thanks with Sash, Maria, and everyone involved in making our day perfect.Ancaster Mill's reply:
Annemarie & Cameron,
Thank you for the incredibly kind words & congratulations to you both once again! It was such a pleasure getting to know you throughout the planning process and we are beyond thrilled that you and your loved ones had a wonderful day! We will be sure to share your wonderful feedback with the whole team and can't wait to welcome you back in the future!
Love,
The Special Events Team

Beautiful Chapel and Amazing Consultants
When my then-fiance and I visited Ancaster Mill in July 2023, we fell in love with the beautiful chapel and landscape scenery of the mill. We knew we wanted to get married there. Amazingly, Ancaster Mill allows for ceremony-only events on Friday and Saturday mornings, with an hour of photography on their grounds after the ceremony (their reception menus/rooms weren't quite what my husband and I were looking for, unfortunately). We jumped at the chance and it was an amazing decision.
We remotely worked with Nycole and subsequently Emily as our coordinators leading up to our big day in July 2024. Communication was decent - emails were sometimes a bit sparse, but calling in-person helped a lot. You might end up speaking to a different consultant, but they all had access to your wedding file, which organized things for the most part. They were very accommodating in allowing us to increase our ceremony time, and they were always cordial and professional in their communication with us.
The rehearsal and day-of was an absolute DREAM. We had Kiana as our day-of consultant and guide, and she was amazing at guiding us through the rehearsal as well as setting up the flow and timeline for our big day. My nerves finally settled after meeting and talking to Kiana on rehearsal day. She was our point of contact for the day-of, as well as our guide on the grounds for our photography session after our ceremony. She was an absolute dream to work with and made the day flow so incredibly smoothly! Thank you Kiana!!
Just for some context, I am a huge planner who needs to know the schedule and order of things, my wedding especially. I think my only “complaint” is that in terms of prep materials, not much was given aside from our wedding contract (which only outlined general timelines and notes). I had prepared a ceremony schedule and timeline for myself to organize the flow, and we didn’t confirm a lot of the details with Ancaster Mill until the day of the rehearsal. I think it may have benefitted us a lot if Ancaster Mill provided planning forms for us to fill out ahead of time, however (as I mentioned above), Kiana was the absolute MVP and took care of everything on the day of the rehearsal.
Overall, an amazing experience. It was a beautiful and unforgettable day for my husband and I, and we have no regrets in choosing Ancaster Mill for our ceremony venue. -

Samantha T. Sent on 12/08/2024The Most Perfect Day at the Perfect Venue
We recently got married at Ancaster Mill and had the most magical experience. The venue itself is stunning with lots of natural elements like a waterfall, forest, gazebo and flowers, but it also has a very picturesque indoor space. During the planning process, we had a dedicated Special Consultant who helped us think through all the details. On the day of, the Concierge was super thoughtful and made sure everything went smoothly - this allowed us to be completely present.
The food was incredible (we got so many compliments on the prime rib) and everything went off without a hitch. We couldn't be happier that we chose Ancaster Mill for our special day!Ancaster Mill's reply:
Samantha!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your experience with us. It was our pleasure to work with you and plan your special day! We look forward to celebrating with you in the future!
All the best,

Whitney D. Sent on 05/08/2024Booked for our Wedding
My fiancé and I recently booked Ancaster Mill for our wedding and we could not be more excited! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the team is super friendly, helpful, and pleasant to be around! They were semi flexible for cultural differences when it comes to the reception but not flexible enough for us to be able to serve our guests different options during the reception time (they did try their best to help with this). Overall, Ancaster Mill is quite pricey during the peak months but we know we will have such a beautiful wedding, we cannot wait!! Incredible venueAncaster Mill's reply:
Hi Whitney,
Thank you so much for your lovely review & congratulations on booking your venue! We could not be more excited to host you and your loved ones for your 2025 wedding.
Looking forward to working with you!

I am incredibly happy with the organization and support the Ancaster Mill team did for our wedding. We didn't have a wedding planner so I was very nervous for the day of, however the day went sooo smooth and it was all thanks to the Mill.
I will be recommending this venue to everyone, and for sure will be coming back for our anniversaries -

Erika Sent on 21/05/2024An absolute dream
The entire experience was so magical. The way all staff went above and beyond on every turn made it a surprisingly relaxed event. Every step of the way we had extraordinary support from an assortment of staff. Nycole was always extremely quick to respond to emails and had much expert advice and helped us tremendously throughout the entire process. Alayna was our concierge and was absolutely fantastic to deal with, her bubbly personality was such a pleasure to have on our special day. Her communication behind-the-scenes with the rest of the staff meant we had not a single thing to worry about the entire day, she took care of us like we were royalty. The food from the kitchen was absolutely delicious, getting praise from multiple guests even weeks after the wedding for how they have never had such amazing food done for so many people at once. We would recommend Ancaster Mill & all Pearle Wedding venues to anyone who asks in a heartbeat.
