The Old Mill - West Berkshire

We got married at the Old Mill in June and it was the most perfect day. The Mill had just had a refurb and we had the ceremony out on the patio followed by a drinks reception. It was a beautiful setting and when the fairy lights came on as the sun went down, it was so romantic. The venue has so many picturesque spots, great for photos either down by the river or along the tree line. The Wed Shed, run by Evie at the Mill decorated the venue to perfection and having them linked to the Mill made everything so much easier. Chris ensured the running of the day went so smoothly and everything went off without a hitch. All the staff are so friendly and accommodating and they were always on hand if we needed anything or to answer our emails as the big day got closer. It really was the best day of our life and we could not have picked a better venue.

In April 2023 we tied the knot at the Old Mill and the venue, atmosphere and day far exceeded our expectations and those of our guests. The staff were caring, considerate and helpful from start to finish. They went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and make our dream wedding a reality.

We held our Wedding at The Old Mill, and we cannot imagine a venue which could have fit our wedding any better, The Venue is Beautiful and perfect. We were lucky enough to have booked our wedding for just when the outdoor patio was refurbished, and we held our ceremony out there. Chris and the staff were absolutely amazing and ensured the day ran smoothly. Tasmin Jeremy

We honestly felt we couldn 't fault them on the day. The staff were amazing and helped add to the fun of the wedding. However (all future ideas of returning for other celebrations have now stopped due to lack of trust ... Something to be aware of; after we paid our deposit and payments were agreed, they did try and sneak in an additional payment without telling us, it was very clearly not included before (I know this because I checked specifically . When I did mention this, they agreed to leave the payment on this occassion and we respectfully stuck to our promises in order to ease their minds that it was the right decision. Fast-forward to a few weeks after our wedding and I am told that they will not be giving us our £250 deposit due to an agreement made with the catering company on the day of the wedding, which my husband and I had no idea of (this should not have been done by either side as I had already put in writing that the kitchen should not be used . The catering company are saying that the venue isn 't being truthful and in addition, the venue offered up space for ease, and the venue is saying that the catering company were using things they shouldn 't have used. In all honesty, I feel like I 'm trying to manage a disagreement between children, and whilst all of this is going on, it is our money being withheld because of an agreement made without our consent. This was raised and the owners had said that because they waivered the additonal charge (that they had added in after agreed prices and the £85 cake cutting fee (not asked to do, but was done as a goodwill gesture that this was the fairest conclusion they could come to. Now, after spending around 6k or more, (nevermind the money they took in on the day, I believe this is just greedy!£250 is a lot of money to us and whatever it is that has happened has nothing to do with us. Please be wary of good will gestures as this may bite you in the butt after! A shame to end our experience in this way.

We were the wedding DJs at The Old Mill this weekend. The location in the countryside is wonderful and the facilities are all beautiful. We were completely blown away by the professionalism and thoughtfulness we received from all staff. Chris and his team were brilliant and ensured the day ran so smoothly nothing was too much trouble. We loved playing here and look forward to coming back soon!
