We got married here on Halloween 2023 and we had the best day ever! The food was amazing as well as the atmosphere on the day. The venue was absolutely beautiful and was the perfect venue to add decor to make it into our own. Absolutely loved the vibe here and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Mimi was our coordinator for the day off and she was amazing. Can’t thank the team enough for our amazing day!

Milling Barn ticks all the boxes if you are looking for a classy barn wedding venue. The staff are outstanding yet unobtrusive and ensure the day runs smoothly and on time. Not just one building but a group of buildings including a large bridal prep room and an outdoor pizza oven. Party inside the barn then nip outside for a slice of pizza. Great in the winter. Lots of other nice touches like their signature tree and swing and a balcony that overlooks the dancefloor. I have posted some photos of a wedding I shot there in the winter to show the decoration of the barn and table layout. Rustic, romantic and cozy.

We had the most amazing day in such a beautiful location. We want to say a huge thank you to everyone at Milling Barn. They are kind, helpful and all know how to make your day perfect. Josh and I spent the day wishing it could last forever and want to re live the whole day again. We would like to say a special thank you to Amie who is incredible at her job and I couldn't recommend her more if I tried, she is brilliant, professional and such a lovely person. Thank you Milling Barn, booking with you was the best decision ever!
