And as much as I didn't really want to go into details about my wedding, I think that I don't have much other choice because my yelp reviews revolve around food. I'll do my best to recap the overall experience without getting getting into details.\n\nI didn't think I could afford a wedding at the old mill.. Thought it was glamorous and upscale, but my husband just told me to take a look at the packages and to my surprise, they were quite affordable and fit the bill. Please be reminded that you have to priorities your must haves and want to haves. If you want a place exclusive to you, you can count the old mill out. In October 2010, there were 5 weddings scheduled for our day in sept 2011...which was considered low. By the day of our wedding there were 13 weddings throughout the day, but I guess the more the merrier. I did bump into I think three other brides but that didn't stop me from thinking that I was having the best wedding ever.\n\nAlthough there are menus packaged for you, you can customize everything to your liking. Taking out a soup, adding a salad, even changing your potatoes. My catering executive Rita, was absolutely amazing. So professional and got every detail down to a tea. When we went for our food tasting and told jerker that we thought the wrong dessert was given to us, she arranged for a separate dessert tasting, where we got to try our requested dessert... Thank goodness because that is the one we went with. There was a night off wine tasting where you could try different offerings and upgrade if you wished. We did end up changing our red wine at a small cost, but so worth it. Our beer was all upgraded and they only charge you on the bottles that get opened, not what you anticipate people Will drink. In the end we got a mini refund because we guesstimated more than what was consumed.\n\nWe had our wedding in Room Brule C. It is one of 3 ballrooms, each with a capacity of 180, or you can open the partition if you have more people. We had 110, which met the minimum requirement ofe 100. The serving staff was so courteous, they would bring our the cooked food in platters so that the food was moist and stayed hot. When i left my seat, someone would come by with a heat cover and they always made sure I was taken care of. The captain who over saw the whole night of events made sure that our night went off without a hitch. All requests were accommodated, no questions asked.\n\nI had some much fun throughout the night that I was so sad when the lights turned out.... I could've have on dancing for hours. We opted to stay in one of their suites at a 50% discount, which still went at $250 a night, but the room was beautiful. You walk into a little hallway that leads to a living room with a fireplace and a bay window that overlooks the terrace to the restaurant. The bedroom had a huge bed and a lovely gift basket. The washroom had a large turbo jet tub and two sinks. Wish we could've stayed for an extra night .\n\nThe old mill isn't for everyone but the coincidental thing is that my husband's parents got married here 30 years ago too. I think it is classy and sophisticated and other people may prefer chic and modern. If you don't have your wedding here, I hope you have the opportunity to even have a meal here...it is quite lovely.\n\nI could not have asked for anything else on my wedding day."^^ .
