Alexandria Sent on 01/11/2024Wedding Review!
We had our wedding at the Ancaster Mill on October 25, 2024 and we cannot say enough positive things about this place. From the moment we first made contact with the Mill we were supported in every way imaginable. Everything ran so smoothly on the day off and they will provide you with a maître de and a concierge that will literally be with you ALL day long. Anything that needs to be dealt with they are on it. We cannot say enough positive things about our maître de, Lily and our events consultant, Katelynn and everyone else in between that made the day memorable. They even provided us with a gift which was so kind of them. All of our guests cannot stop raving about the food and the beauty of this venue. If we were to get married again it wouldn’t even be a question about where we would pick, we would pick this venue over and over again. Thank you to everyone who made our wedding day so special! -

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!

Emily Sent on 28/05/2025An incredible wedding at Ancaster Mill
The Ancaster Mill team was amazing! They were super communicative and transparent leading up to our wedding, and let me and my husband visit the venue so many times with our family and friends so everyone could see the vision. They asked all the right questions and we always had a response in a timely manner whenever we had a question to ask them. Our venue coordinator Lily was incredible along with the Maître D Megan. When my shoe ankle strap broke 10 minutes before I had to walk down the aisle, one of the Mill staff drove to our hotel with my room key to grab my extra pair of shoes for me. The timing of the entrances, music, and dinner service was perfect. They took care of everything and made sure the day went off without a hitch. Thank you for an amazing day!Ancaster Mill's reply:
Hi Emily,
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear your day was everything you hoped for. It was our pleasure to support you every step of the way, and we'll be sure to share your thanks with the team. Wishing you both all the happiness in the world!
Warm Regards, Ancaster Mill Team -

The Ancaster Mill brought our dream May 2025 wedding to life, answered every question, and kept everything moving on our day. Booking with them covered our ceremony, officiant, reception, food, and bar. This checked off so many vendor needs in one place.
They have hosting weddings down to a science. The food was amazing and we've had guests tell us it was "the best wedding they'd ever been to". The staff kept our guests happy and made sure we, as the couple, felt so special. They included lots of special touches like having two glasses of champagne ready for us after the ceremony so we could have a moment alone to celebrate.
Our day-of coordinator, Sash, was fantastic. She was our best friend for the day, helped me fix my dress, kept us relaxed, and swiftly and expertly handled changes on the fly. She was able to squeeze in a day-of grand entrance rehearsal for us and our wedding party.
If you have a specific timeline in mind for your day, heads up. They provide the timeline and are firm on it, likely because they have multiple weddings onsite each day. Also it is worth mentioning that they only give you access to the bridal suite one hour before your ceremony time, so it is essential to secure a getting-ready location. We used the Barracks, which was excellent because it was close by and the bridal party could all stay there over night.
Overall, we are so happy with our choice to book with The Ancaster Mill and the day was absolutely perfect. It still feels like a dream.Ancaster Mill's reply:
Hi Carleigh,
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. We’re truly honored to have been part of your special day and are thrilled to hear it felt like a dream. It means the world to us that you and your guests had such a memorable experience, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Sash and our team. Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness!
Warm Regards, the Ancaster Mill Team -

Have your wedding/event at Ancaster Mill if you love the rustic feel and beautiful waterfalls. We are so happy to have had our wedding at Ancaster Mill. All the staff were helpful from the beginning of our venue search, to our wedding day, from Nycole, Emily, to our maitre D and concierge, as well officiant Tammy. They really took care of us, and made our wedding day go as smoothly as possible. The food was amazing, and all our guests were still raving about the food, long after our wedding day finished. Thank you again to everyone who made our wedding day special and memorable!Ancaster Mill's reply:

Claire Sent on 13/01/2025Beautiful venue with seasoned professionals
Our wedding went so smoothly with the Ancaster Mill. The venue was stunning and our day-of team handled the event seamlessly. Shelby was wonderful to work with as our day-of handler. One of the biggest perks of working with a Pearle wedding venue is that they handle so many weddings that they know exactly how to run a wedding flawlessly. They also handle so many ceremony and dinner details, which helped lighten the planning load.
Flexibility was good in some areas (worked with our cheese cake (actual rounds of cheese)) and less in others (only one date offered for menu tasting even though we live far away) and response times were slow 6-8 months before the event (when we were trying to book other vendors and needed to provide venue info). However by the last two months of planning, the details and planning went well and the team was very knowledgeable and responsive.
The venue is expensive but The Ancaster Mill offers wonderful service and I believe it was money well spent to help this stressed out bride have confidence that many aspects of the wedding would be handled perfectly. When we had a few last minute guest drops that brought us under our guest minimum they offered some perks to compensate for the gap, which we really appreciated.Ancaster Mill's reply:
Dear Claire,
Thank you so much for your kind words — they truly mean a lot. Shelby is absolutely wonderful, and we’ll be sure to share your kind message with her!
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us and our team. It means so much to work with amazing couples like you and Matthew. We’re so grateful to be part of your journey and can’t wait to celebrate with you in the future!

Rachel 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:

Hilory Sent on 25/10/2024Dream Wedding
My husband and I recently had our wedding at Ancaster Mill in August 2024. From the moment we stepped into Ancaster Mill we knew we found our venue, the beautiful gardens, the waterfall and the overall ambiance were breathtaking. Initially we wanted an outdoor ceremony but the moment we stepped into the Millers chapel we fell in love with how gorgeous the space was. Our reception room was a dream, from the 360 view to the beautiful chandeliers, this venue captured the exact vibe we wanted for our wedding. Emily was our special events consultant she was amazing to work with. She was friendly, warm and very knowledgeable. Emily guided us so well with the small details, not to mention prompt in responding to my emails, she helped us bring everything together. The day of Concierge Alayna was there to help us from the second we pulled up to the venue she had the excitement and positive energy I so needed (because I was a ball of nerves). Her bubbly personality made everyone felt comfortable. I appreciated her attention to the small details, she had me feeling like a princess. She made it a point to see that I was hydrated and fed!! She even bustled my gown like a pro. Alayna was a Rock Star!! I am grateful I had her cheering us on, on our special day. It’s clear she loves what she does. The entire Day Of team was absolutely amazing!! The food from the kitchen was amazing, we had guest praising how delicious everything was. Thank you to the Ancaster Team for helping us have the wedding of our dreams.Ancaster Mill's reply:
Hilory,
Thank you for the incredibly kind words! It was an absolute pleasure getting to know you & ONeil throughout the planning process. We are thrilled that we were able to create and provide a special experience for you both along with your family and friends. 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,

Samantha 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:
