I can't say enough good things about the Mill Top and specifically our venue coordinator, Hilary. If you see the $$$ and get nervous, let me put your mind at ease. For the cost of ...this venue, you are essentially getting the space, rentals, a day of coordination TEAM, and your venue coordinator who is basically your wedding planner, all in one. The cost of the venue seems higher up front, but we ended up coming in wayyy under budget. We got married on 12/02/23 and it was the BEST day of my life from 9 am when we showed up to get ready in the INSANE bridal suite, until 11 pm when we closed the place down. This venue and the staff know weddings backwards and forwards. Everything went so insanely smooth. The best thing was that after I dropped off my decor to the venue a few days before the wedding, no one in my bridal party or family had to lift a finger to help set up or deal with vendors. The Mill Top staff does it all. Our families could just enjoy the day, which was a top priority for me.
I will now specifically talk about my venue coordinator, Hilary. She was the most fun, laid back person to work with. I genuinely walked away from this experience so thankful for her. During planning, she utilized her experience from other weddings to help me make decisions regarding processional order, timeline, and pretty much anything else I was unsure about. She checked in on me routinely throughout the wedding day to make sure I was feeling good about everything. We brought our dog to be with us during the day (yes, the Mill Top welcomes dogs. What else do you need?) and Hilary made trips up to the bridal suite to pet him. Right before I walked down the aisle, she asked me if I needed anything, to which I replied that a margarita right after the ceremony would be amazing. When my husband and I did our exit, Hilary was waiting at the top of the aisle with a margarita for me and an old fashioned for my husband. I really felt like we were more than just a random client to her, which made the day so much more fun. With the wedding industry being so impersonal anymore, it was such a relief to experience such a wonderful working relationship with our largest vendor.
I had my dream wedding, thanks to the staff at Mill Top.
