The Mill District

"My husband and I stayed here for a weekend getaway. We absolutely loved the cottage. It was so warm and inviting. We cooked in the beautiful kitchen, we played games that were provided and we enjoyed the beautiful view out of the large picture windows overlooking the fields. It was a great way to disconnect from the rush of the city. Everything is a short drive away. We also went to the meeting point of the 3 states which is only a 10 min drive. The only thing I would recommend is if you're visiting on a cold weekend, the bathroom is very cold and the water doesn't stay warm for more than 10min. So quick showers it is! You won't regret staying here, the property the cottage sits on is beautiful!"

"We got married here on October 7th, 2023. We had our ceremony on the Brick Aisle with cocktail hour and reception following on the whole property. We had such an amazing day! The venue is unique, beautiful, and affordable. Jourdan and her team did an awesome job helping us plan and prepare for our special day. Being able to do rehearsal, rehearsal dinner and stay on the property the whole weekend is a HUGE bonus. Just like every wedding there were little hiccups throughout the day with weather and other small things but Jourdan and her team made everything flow seamlessly to the point none of our guests were the wiser. Our guests are still complementing our choice of venue to this day! Huge thank you goes out to The Mill District staff for helping to make our day perfect! I highly recommend this venue to any couples out there looking for a beautiful and unique wedding."

"Have your wedding here!!! We held our wedding at The Mill District in August of this year and would give 10 stars if we could! My husband and I, along with many friends, are based in Chicago and our families are in the Detroit area. The Mill District is the perfect venue to meet in the middle, about 3 hours from Chicago & 2.5 hours from Detroit. There are plenty of lodging options nearby as well for out of town guests. The venue is gorgeous with areas for an outdoor or indoor ceremony which gave us peace of mind if the weather didn’t cooperate. We held our ceremony on the lawn in the ceremony pavilion which is hugged by the stone storehouse, indoor ceremony barn, reception barn, and many trees making wonderful backdrops for photos. Our cocktail hour took place under the trees behind the ceremony lawn, with appetizers on the wrap around porch. Our guests loved getting to see all of the venue areas and being able to spread out. We then ushered guests into the reception barn for dinner and dancing. The reception barn offers a beautiful and intimate feel while also having enough space for a large group and plated meal service. Our wedding party stayed at the post office and cottage buildings at The Mill the night before the wedding so there was no concern about people running late the big day. Both accommodations have everything you need for your stay. The Cottage has bay windows which offered natural light that our makeup artist loved, along with a big dining table to spread products out. The groomsmen loved playing games in the game room while us girls spent the morning getting ready. Jourdan & James, the owners of The Mill District, are the absolute best. We opted to add on the planning and decor package and I’m so glad we did! Jourdan has the best eye for all things event design - centerpieces, placement of signage, ceremony floral design, you name it and I have no doubt Jourdan will be able to design it. During our final walk through we realized we hadn’t discuss decor for the ceremony arch, Jourdan asked if we wanted it decorated and we said yes with full confidence that Jourdan & her team would create the perfect arrangement (and it was beautiful!). Jourdan also ran our rehearsal when we had a few hiccups with outside vendors and ran a tight ship on our wedding day, even thinking to bring me a pre wedding drink to ensure I was hydrated during the day. James was so thoughtful in asking our wishes for things I wouldn’t have thought of, like how high a disco ball should be hung. Thank you Jourdan & The Mill District team for helping create the wedding of our dreams! I could go on and on and absolutely recommend booking The Mill District for your wedding or event! I’ll be singing its praises to all of my soon to be engaged friends and family."

"Jordan and her staff are amazing to work with. My daughter’s wedding was magical. The day of the wedding Jordan and her staff work to make the day less stressful for you as a parent but also my daughter only had to focus on her and her groom. We are one and done but one thing for certain we picked the BEST place for her wedding."

"Our experience at the Mill District was amazing. Jordan and her team did a wonderful job! Every detail was attended to and we all felt incredibly lucky our kids decided on the Mill District for the weekend of wedding celebrating! The ability to have all of our events at one location made the weekend even easier! Highly recommend this as a choice for any event, but particularly a wedding."
