The Cotton Mill

This is a cute venue. I love the history behind it. Although it’s a bit high priced compared to other places when you look at space, ceiling height, accommodations etc. In the reception area the ceiling is lower than other places and there’s a lot of pillars that make the space seem cramped. The lighting where they request you to set up the wedding party table is very dimly lit so you’ll need to bring some sort of lighting. There isn’t a ton of parking so make sure your guests carpool. You’re required to use caterers off their list. I think the list had about 6 – 7 on it.
The room they offer for weddings inside is a hallway. Literally a hallway. It’s definitely not worth the $ 1,500 price tag they put on it. I would recommend using the outdoor space if you can. It’s spacious and looks like a spot you’d have a wedding. It’s perfect for an October wedding!
The woman who showed us the venue spent maybe ten minutes with us. We felt a little rushed. But then again it was 7pm so maybe she was ready to go home. We never did get a follow up call or email from her. I didn’t quite get that warm feeling from them. It felt very corporate.
They book up pretty quick so you’ll want to schedule your date here way in advance.
Overall a cute place to have a wedding. Just make sure you hire someone to bring in lighting and you book your wedding not in peak season or you’ll have to book two years out.
Update:
I received a message from the woman who did my tour.
1) She addressed me as Samantha. My name is Stefanie. Therefore she showed a lack of attention to detail
2) She stated she was in a hurry because she was showing 2 groups at the same time. During our tour she told us we were the last group and there was no one here so we were free to wander around wherever. We never saw a second group or couple looking around.
3) She was confused by my comment about lack of parking. Due to her lack of information and not telling us they apparently have a second parking lot, how were we to know there was additional parking elsewhere other than the one small lot we saw when we pulled in?
4) Regarding the head table. During our tour she told us that’s where they put the head table. There was no comment about it being able to be elsewhere. She said that’s where it will be set up for your event so it didn’t even sound negotiable.
My review still stands.

What an amazing venue to have a wedding!!! I love this place for any event :) also when you walk in it reminded me of the «Pirates of the Caribbean» ride in Disneyland because it smells just like it :)

Had my amazing wedding here. Happiest day of my life. Beautiful venue.
But FYI, there is no bridal dressing room. They give you the manager’s office. No problem. Unless they bring people through to take a tour while you and your bridesmaids are trying to get dressed. Whoops.
There’s also a lot of Texana décor that we needed to cover since that’s not our style.
Staff was very helpful, for the most part.

Amazingggg place to get photographs done. We had our engagement session here and were stunned with the results. Has a rustic feel and makes for a unique experience. My co-​worker also got married here and was pleased, so it’s probably a great place for any event.
P. S. Yes, it used to be an actual cotton mill.
