Magic Happens Here

If you want the most dreamy experience, with great food, stellar staff, at an absolutely magical venue, look no further. We recently had our wedding, an intimate night with our closest friends and family, at The Cambridge Mill. I cannot possibly begin to describe our experience with The Mill. From immediate communication to weeks after our wedding was over, our coordinator was so on point with everything. Communication is a huge thing for me and Aime was next level with her care, communication and making sure all our special requests were met with ease. Our day of staff was phenomenal from the moment I stepped foot out of the limo. The attention to detail, and how much care they put into their clients is incredible. We’d do this over and over and over again and wouldn’t change a thing.

Amazing!!!

We toured a bunch of venues but The Cambridge Mill surpassed all of our expectations, not only for how gorgeous the venue is, but from the responsive service, personable staff, inclusions and flexibilities in the packages and the overall value in the price, they absolutely won us over as soon as we walked through the doors. I can't wait for our wedding day!

If I could give 6 stars, I would!

You will never regret booking your wedding at the Cambridge Mill! Yes, you might have sticker shock after seeing the price, but the value you get for the service is so much higher than what you pay. The staff are so incredibly attentive to you throughout the whole night, it’s like having a wedding planner. Anything you need from them, if within their power, they’ll do for you. The food is amazing, the drinks are amazing, the staff are so kind and efficient, the venue is stunning…I could go on. And if you’re worried about another wedding happening the same night, don’t. My friends and I were shocked that we didn’t notice the other wedding happening at all (besides, I realize that I’m not the ONLY person getting married that day). The venue even let us come in the day before to set up the decor (since they didn’t have an event that night) which was a literal lifesaver. Finally, get the espresso martinis—they were such a hit!

If you want your guests talking about how amazing your wedding was... this is the place to have it

When searching for the perfect wedding venue, I had a few key requirements—our dogs had to be part of the ceremony, I wanted a day-of coordinator to ensure everything went smoothly, amazing views, and, of course, delicious food. Cambridge Mill checked all those boxes and more!

Dalton was a dream to work with during the planning process. He answered every question we had and was so quick to respond, making the planning stress-free. On the day of the wedding, Michael and Cassidy were my coordinators, and they were absolutely incredible! The entire day flowed seamlessly, with no hiccups at all. Cassidy, in particular, went above and beyond, making sure I had water during our busy photo sessions and even surprising me with a bowl of truffle fries in the bridal suite!

Cassidy’s attentiveness and care truly made me feel like I was in the best hands. The feedback from our guests has been fantastic, and many of them have already said they’ll be returning to Cambridge Mill for dinner because the food was just that good.

Thank you to everyone at Cambridge Mill for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a place that delivers in every way!

Book Your Wedding at Cambridge Mill IMMEDIATELY!

Our wedding day at Cambridge Mill was truly exceptional—everything we could have dreamed of and more! From the beautiful setting to the impeccable service, Cambridge Mill went above and beyond to make our day magical.

As a type-A bride, I couldn’t have asked for a better venue! Every detail was handled with such care, allowing me to feel calm and confident throughout the day. A special thanks to our Maitre d', who ensured every detail was seamlessly taken care of—from keeping us refreshed with drinks to arranging for the bar to stay closed during our wedding photos. Their attention to detail allowed us to be fully present, knowing everything was handled perfectly. We were also grateful to be served our meals first, giving us a few quiet moments together before the celebrations continued.

We’d also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our Wedding Consultant, Amie. She was wonderful to work with, always prompt in responding to emails, and so reassuring (even with my 100 questions!). Amie made the planning process smooth and stress-free, and we couldn’t have done it without her.

Our guests are still raving about the incredible food; the drinks were also a hit! Cambridge Mill exceeded our expectations in every way, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wedding venue that combines elegance with exceptional service. Thank you for giving us such a perfect day that we’ll cherish forever!

Best Experience

Our experience with Cambridge Mill was flawless from start to finish. From our first meeting with Dalton, to the rehearsal dinner, and of course our wedding day with Madison. The care and attention to detail was outstanding. The food was fantastic, the grounds are beautiful for your photos, and the Pavilion is the most gorgeous place for a wedding ceremony. If we could do it again, we'd pick Cambridge Mill every time.

Magical Wedding Day

We had the most magical wedding day at Cambridge Mill, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible team who made it all possible. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we were enchanted by its beauty and charm. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, creating a flawless experience for us and our guests.

A special shoutout to Dalton for being super flexible and helpful with all our questions and requests. Another shout out to our amazing maître d’, Stephanie who was an absolute dream to work with. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and warm personality truly made the day run smoothly. Stephanie stood out in the rain for us during photos and offered her umbrella to my wedding party, she truly went above and beyond for us and for that we are thankful. They were always one step ahead, making sure we were well taken care of and that everything unfolded seamlessly.

The venue and the staff exceeded all of our expectations, creating a day we will cherish forever. If you're looking for a place that delivers both breathtaking beauty and exceptional service, Cambridge Mill is the perfect choice.

Thank you again for making our wedding day unforgettable!

From the initial planning stages to the final dance of the evening, their professionalism and attentiveness were evident. They worked tirelessly to accommodate our requests and offer valuable suggestions, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.

One of the highlights of our wedding was the exceptional cuisine. The catering team at Cambridge Mill crafted a menu that was not only delicious but also thoughtfully presented. Our guests raved about the quality and variety of the dishes, and the attentive service ensured that everyone felt pampered throughout the evening.

The venue's layout is ideal for both intimate ceremonies and grand celebrations. The ceremony space, with its picturesque views of the river, provided a serene setting for our vows. The reception area, adorned with elegant décor and complemented by the venue's natural beauty, offered a perfect space for our celebration.

In addition to its physical beauty, Cambridge Mill's location in the heart of Cambridge added a touch of local charm to our wedding. The surrounding area offered plenty of options for guests to explore, making our celebration not just a memorable event, but also a delightful experience for everyone involved.

In summary, Cambridge Mill provided us with a wedding day that surpassed our wildest dreams.

Pure excellence

The Cambridge Mill is not only a breathtaking venue, it has the staff to support their reputation. Amie was excellent to work with during the planning process replying promptly and helping to calm any nerves. Cassidy, Jordan, Evan and all the day of staff were perfection!! There was a mixup with the flourist not sending us rose petals and they went out of their way to make sure our flower girl had something to throw going down the aisle. We can not say enough about them and our guests felt the same. The food was also incredible and we got so many compliments on the meal, dessert and midnight snacks.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
