We cannot say enough about our Wedding at the Hotel Millwright!! The entire staff, beginning with Shelby, our coordinator, was just wonderful!! She listened intently to what we wanted, then assisted with suggestions. We are an older couple that got married. I have helped plan and organize my 3 children's Weddings, so I understand the level of work and follow through it requires to have everything turn out how you would like. They exceeded our expectations! We truly enjoyed working with all of the staff there - from Shelby, to the Bakery staff, to those that got all our food out and served. We would also highly recommend Star Entertainment for your DJ. They also helped us with our rehearsal the evening before and the day of our Wedding. Kept everyone moving, on time. We really wanted a String Tri for our Wedding music....they supplied just that through their DJ music. The song "At Last" in string music was perfect. The large windows in the Merino Loft, where we had our reception, offers just amazing natural lighting for Wedding photos! The inside remodeling was very tastefully done. It really requires very little decoration - check it out for yourself and you'll see. We've already returned to stay there on our 1st Anniversary....Hotel Millwright and the staff there, will always hold a special place in our hearts.
