    Fantastic, we had an amazing time

    The staff at the Ancaster Mill were incredibly helpful through the entire planning process, the food was amazing and I coundn't have asked for a better day of concierge. Our concierge (Julie) helped with absolutely everything from bringing snacks and water to carrying my shoes when my feet hurt. She really went above and beyond anything I could have asked for. 10/10

    Lora,

    You are so sweet! We were honoured to be involved in your special day. We can absolutely pass along the concierge compliments as well. Wishing you and Chris years of love and happiness!!

    All the best,

    Ancaster Mill Helped Our Dream Day Come True

    We had our wedding ceremony and reception this August at Ancaster Mill. From the start, we were impressed by the care they put forward in welcoming us to the venue. From there, the communications were stellar, timely, and clear. Our Special Events Consultant, Jennah, was an absolute delight to work with, as well were our day-of contacts, Celeste and Morgan. Our guests raved about the beautiful ceremony space, the venue grounds, and the tasty food. We would recommend Ancaster Mill to anyone looking to have a stress-free wedding day, AND without breaking your budget! Kudos to the entire team at Ancaster Mill!

    Ancaster Mill's reply:

    Hi Tanzima (and Jozef!) ,

    All the best,

    Perfect day!

    Ancaster Mill and the Pearle team by extension made our day absolutely perfect. Planning was simple, the venue is already gorgeous, the food was incredible and the staff was 10/10.

    Absolutely amazing

    We can’t say enough about this venue. From the location, to the beautiful scenery & the amazing staff. Jennah was so so helpful and so kind when helping us plan our special day and Christina was a superstar helping me from fixing my dress to making sure I had a fan ti cool me down lol! The staff the night of were quick and efficient. Everyone commented on how good the food was. 10/10 🤩

    Tricky start, but the day of was amazing!

    We booked Ancaster Mill for our spring wedding that included our ceremony and reception. We had a great start and then the planning process got rocky as we had two event consultants leave their jobs the few months leading up to our wedding which made it challenging for planning continuity. We finally got a 3rd consultant, Nycole, who was great and definitely knowledgeable, but felt like we got added to her busy plate last minute so we found communication a bit slow. I suspect this wasn’t their normal standard of service and that we were in a bit of a stretch of bad luck, so I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. Annoying considering how much we were spending to have our wedding there, but at the end of the day not the most painful thing you’ll deal with planning a wedding. That’s where my negative feedback ends fortunately…
    The day of the wedding was nothing short of magical and made Ancaster Mill worth every penny. The maître d and 2 concierges who were with us (but mostly me, the bride..) for the day and partnered with my wedding planner made sure my fiancé and I didn’t feel an ounce of stress. They had the day absolutely dialed and I can honestly say the entire day from start to finish went off without a hitch. Our food and cocktails were five star and service the day of was really amazing from everyone from the bar to the serving staff. We were in the Miller Chapel for our ceremony and the Millview Room for our reception and both spaces are absolutely gorgeous!
    Our initial experience on the planning side of things aside, I would highly recommend Ancaster Mill for a wedding. The ambiance, the day of-service, the food/drink, all exceptional!

    Ancaster Mill's reply:

    Hi Kim,

    Thank you so much for the feedback and your patience through the planning process. We are so happy to hear the day was everything you had hoped for. A HUGE congratulations to you and Robert once again!! Wishing you both a lifetime of joy and love. All the best,

    Ancaster Mill

    Very pleased with the entire team and venue. Everything ran smoothly and anything we asked for they were happy to help! There were so small hiccups with minor details (enterance timing, music ques, etc.) But nothing that affected our overall day.
    Never ran into another wedding (we were the first ceremony of the day!).

    Ancaster Mill's reply:

    Hi Laura & Marc,

    Thank you so much for your kind words and a huge CONGRATULATIONS to you both! It was an honor to be part of your special day and we wish you lifetime of love and happiness!

    Romantic, rustic, and delicious

    When we stepped foot onto the grounds of the Ancaster Mill, my husband and I knew that we wanted to celebrate our wedding reception here. It had our perfect vibe written all over, and we fell in love with the Governor’s Room the minute we walked in. The food was some of the most delicious food I’ve ever had & the team was friendly and responsive on the day of. We did have a few hiccups (two chefs had gotten sick mid-dinner), but the staff managed to pull through without sacrificing on the quality of food or service.

    Many great photo opportunities on the grounds!!

    A very popular wedding spot (there were 3 including ours) so the team you meet might not be the team who works with you on the day of, but nonetheless - they’re willing to communicate, work with you and are transparent with you. We hope to visit again!

    Ancaster Mill's reply:

    Hi Carmina,
    Thank you so much for your kind words! Your photos turned out gorgeous and we are so happy you and Erik enjoyed your Special Day! Wishing you a lifetime of love, and we hope to see you again!
    With love,
    Nycole & The Ancaster Mill Team

    Worth every penny!

    The team at Ancaster was fantastic! It is a beautiful venue with an amazing property! Great for wedding photos. Every staff member that I spoke to went above and beyond my expectations on my wedding day! Nycole Stevenson helped me organize and plan out my day leading up to and Christina was incredible to have the day of my wedding! I honestly couldn’t have imagined anything better. On top of the amazing service was the food that was to die for! Our wedding meal was the best meal I have ever tasted. You couldn’t possibly get a bad meal. Every guest called us to tell us how amazing their meal was. All in all this was the most amazing experience we have ever had and would hands down recommend the Ancaster Mill to anyone! We also plan to visit for special events and anniversaries to come!

    Ancaster Mill's reply:

    Hi Alana,
    Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy for you and are so glad that you enjoyed your Special Day. We are wishing you lots of love & happiness and cannot wait to celebrate future Special Moments with you!
    With love,

    Made our day perfect

    We just got married at Ancaster Mill a few weeks ago and we are still getting text messages from our friends and family complimenting us about how beautiful the venue was. That should tell you everything!!
    We looked at multiple venues before choosing Ancaster Mill, and the Mill blew them all out of the water. What we got as a "base" with Ancaster Mill was what we'd need to make dozens of add-ons for at other venues. They took care of EVERYTHING from start to finish. We felt like we didn't even have much planning to do because of how simple they made everything throughout the planning process.
    We were made to feel comfortable and validated throughout our engagement by the lovely team and consultants there. And when it came to the big day, their professionalism made the day absolutely stress-free. The set up was BEAUTIFUL and everything flowed flawlessly the whole night. They made an effort to ensure that my husband and I got to fully enjoy our night, and we did. We had no decisions to make and no problems at all to deal with on our day and got to focus on ourselves, each other, and our friends and family 100%. The day ended up being very rainy and misty, but the ambiance of the Mill even made that look like it was on purpose. The waterfall and glass throughout the venue mixed with the clouds and mist was ethereal.
    All our guests are still raving about the food and I can honestly say it was the best food I've ever had at a wedding. Huge portions, served HOT, and quick. Unreal!
    If you're considering having your wedding here, or choosing between here and another venue, CHOOSE THIS ONE. Our wedding was better than I ever could have hoped for and its thanks to the staff at Ancaster Mill.

    Ancaster Mill's reply:

    Alana!! Such kind words, thank you!! What an honour to be a part of your day. We're wishing you and Josh a life of happiness, congratulations again.
