From the reviews

We recently hosted a children's consignment sale at the Corley Mill House & Gardens, and it was a fantastic experience! While this venue is typically known for weddings, it was perfect for our event as well. The space is versatile, spacious, and has a beautiful outdoor area.

★★★★★ — Cola, Mar 2025

I had the pleasure of attending my brother's wedding at Corley Mill House & Gardens, and I can't say enough about how stunning this venue is! From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the beautiful landscaping and the charming historical architecture of the house itself.

★★★★★ — The, Jan 2025

What a perfect day! The staff,the venue, the planning and gardens were perfect. It rained earlier in the day, and the arbor, I imagined would be dripping ,but the bright sun dried it up. The porches and decorations already in place added to our enjoyment.

★★★★★ — Chris, Oct 2024

The Edgar Allen Poe Speakeasy performance at this venue was very entertaining and well done. However, it was so packed with people that it was difficult to see the performances of the actors/actresses.

Getting married at Corley Mill House & Gardens

Corley Mill House & Gardens comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.

Corporate events & private parties at Corley Mill House & Gardens

If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
