My husband and I got married here in 2022 and it was perfection! From planning to wedding day everything was so easy and stress free. The ceremony site is to die for and the reception space was large and spacious for all our family and friends. My girls and I loved getting ready in the Lodge and the whole party loved that they could stay right on site and spend the whole weekend there. I cannot recommend Olde Mill Venue enough!

They wanted our day to be perfect and were willing to do anything to make that possible. Jessie and her team truly went above and beyond!! The venue is gorgeous and even in the rain, it’s just as beautiful. We had the most dreamy ceremony in the rain under the covered patio. We couldn’t recommend this venue enough!!

Wow, is the only word that comes to mind from our wedding day. Besides the fact that the “Hill Top” ceremony/reception site and the property itself, was everything we could have wanted and envisioned for our big day, Rose Gallagher was everything and made our whole experience even more memorable. We received so many compliments on how beautiful everything was and more on how fantastic Rose and the staff were. Weddings are a big deal, and we cannot thank everyone at the Gallagher property for helping making our day perfect! Highly recommend tying the knot here, you won’t regret a single thing.
