If youâre looking for quintessential Lancaster County charm in a building with all the modern amenities, look no further than The Mill at Manor Falls! Laura and Don have done an incredible job refurbishing a piece of history into an absolutely beautiful wedding venue. The Mill is located on gorgeous picturesque grounds, with a nearby waterfall and creek that make you feel like youâre in your own completely private world, even though you have all the conveniences nearby. As soon as we saw this venue, we knew immediately that it would be perfect for our late September wedding.
Laura was fantastic and very professional to work with through the entire process, giving us plenty of time to explore the venue, addressing the COVID concerns that are currently happening, and responding promptly to all inquiries. Laura has a selection of well-known vendors in the area that are great to work with, but sheâs very accommodating to anyone you would choose for your reception.
The actual mill has two full floors (and weâd love to see the completed third floor one day!). The first floor reception area is a beautifully re-done reception room that only needed some basic table linens, arrangements and flowers to dress up. Our reception was just under 100 people and no one felt cramped or confined inside with our served buffet, bar and DJ setup. The upstairs has a spacious, private bridal suite, though the groomâs quarters were a little snug â but both areas were very well-done with all the amenities you would need. Thereâs also a spacious open room that could also hold a cocktail hour during inclement weather and served as a great overflow from the bridal suite and groom's quarters (with a kitchenette area and gorgeous fireplace). The surrounding grounds have flowers in bloom spring through fall and will definitely make your photos pop!
Overall our guests still havenât stopped complimenting us on how beautiful the whole wedding experience was and weâre so grateful for Laura and Donâs hospitality in helping to make our dream wedding come true - and all within less than four months of the proposal! Thank you again Laura and Don, and wish you the best with many more receptions to come at the Mill at...
   Read moreWe got married at The Mill at Manor Falls one month ago! It was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!! The Mill is gorgeous! The first floor was used for our reception. It comfortably fit 17 tables (with room for more), a sweetheart table, a dance floor, and a permanently installed bar. As well as the gift table, cake table, memorial table, DJ booth, and a buffet line for dinner. The room had a beautiful cozy ambiance with lower ceilings and string lights wrapped throughout the room. The second floor and outside on their patio is where we had our cocktail hour, it was very spacious and they had plenty of tables, chairs, and high top tables for our guest to use. We decided to rent a dry bar for the cocktail hour as they only have one bar on the first floor reception area. The second floor also contains a beautiful large bridal suite with a private bathroom, and a much smaller groom's room which worked fine for the men. We had our wedding outside at their permanently installed Pergola. Our florist decorated it with flowers, greenery and tulle, and it looked beautiful! It TOTALLY fit my enchanted wedding theme! We had to bring our own table to use for the sand ceremony which was fine as a family member made a table for us as a gift! We narrowly missed a rain storm but the owners Laura and Don Dombach had clear umbrellas on hand to come to our rescue if need be! There are many beautiful photo opportunities on their grounds too! They do have a waterfall but the path to it was muddy so we missed that photo opp. Since the wedding I have talked to the owner and she said they have laid down stones on the path to the waterfall so future bride's can get to it easier! The owners were around all day helping any way they could! They were SO easy and fun to work with! I highly recommend this venue! We were only the 2nd wedding they've EVER had, and I would have thought they were doing this for years!! The price is a little high but comparable and cheaper than other venues in the area I had looked at. They also worked with us on a price as we were on a budget. I've attached some pictures of our magical day. I will forever look back and fondly remember our perfect day!! Thank you SO much Laura...
   Read moreThank you so much to the Mill at Manor Falls for hosting our wedding! This is such a gorgeous and special place and I cannot imagine having been married anywhere else. I cannot thank Laura enough for being so supportive and answering all our many, many questions we had along the way! The walk-through meeting was especially helpful in going through all we were hoping to do and what we would need. The Mill provided the tables and chairs which was fantastic and set everything up as we planned. We were able to have our ceremony just where we wanted it on the property and truly have the wedding we dreamed. Myself and the bridesmaids had such a beautiful space to get ready for the day, with enough space for hair and makeup as well as all the girls! We had room for lunch and for the guys to get ready as well! It was such a warm and comfortable environment to prepare for and spend the day. The Mill is so close to multiple hotels, restaurants and stores (for any last minute forgotten items), while also feeling like you're in a special hideaway. We were able to have our first look by the waterfall which was magical and secluded, and gorgeous green space for our couple, family and wedding party photos. The sounds of the running water of the creek also added a special touch to our ceremony. I am so glad we had our wedding at the Mill and will treasure our memories here for a lifetime! I highly recommend the Mill at Manor Falls, especially if you're looking for a historical venue in a naturally beautiful environment for...
