McKinney Flour Mill — Local services in McKinney

This is my first time writing a review and i have to say its a bad one. I gave it a two because it was a good experience until my wedding day. The night before both the groom and i had our bachelorette parties and we get a call from the coordinator at the flour mill saying she has something she needs to speak to us about regarding our center pieces. My husbands father spent HOURS making our center pieces. They were very unique. he cut down a whole truee to make stump candle abras. Yes they were gorgeous! After his dad made 2 we made sure he took pictures of the abras so that we could get the "okay" from flour mill that is was okay to use them. We discussed exactly what it was going to be and showed pictures. We were told it was Ok to use. The night before the wedding they decide to tell us we cant light any of the candles. Destroyed the look of everything. There wasnt any lighting because we were not allowed to use them. I was furious I personally didnt find out until the morning of my wedding what had happeend. I called the flour mill coordinator trying to get a hold of her the morning of my wedding and could not get in touch with her. she was supposed to be at the flour mill when i was and did not show until 4 and by this time i was already gone to do "the first look". not only did that happen... but at the reception the coordinator and a security officer was there watching everything. Which is fine they need to do that for precausions, except they were not professional at all, it would be one thing if we had alcohol at our wedding but we didnt. we had many complaints from guests from our wedding that the security officer was rude to them. After the reception the security officer yelled at one of the ladies there that was helping clean up the smores bar saying they were taking things that were not theirs and this was not true.. it was all of our stuff that we bought and paid for. I wish i would have known this before i chose them. its a beautiful place but the service ruined everything. I want to write this review so at least someone will know this...

Just from the photographs we knew the Mckinney Flour Mill is what we wanted. We were blown away by their photographs that showed many beautiful aspects of the design of the venue. When we were touring venues, the Flour Mill was the first place that came to mind and in the end, the only one that stuck. I can truly say we were blown away by the beauty of every aspect of the venue. As soon as we finished the tour we knew it was the place where we wanted to get married. It has the perfect blend of industrial and rustic feel that really shows up in our wedding photos. We wanted the evening to have a candlelit feel and we were able to easily do that and everything turned out breathtakingly beautiful. It has a large venue feel without being a large venue that helped make our wedding feel cozy and not overcrowded. To top it off, the venue has an entire room full of accessories for rent that made it so much easier to decorate. When the day came, we simply picked the items out of the rental room that we wanted to decorate with, and set everything out. The only thing we needed to make the venue perfect was flowers. As for Bliss Coordination Events, I could go on for days about how awesome Andrea was throughout the entire process for our wedding. From being open to our ideas to allowing us the freedom to do what we wanted for our wedding, she helped guide us through the entire process. She made sure that the day of, no one from the wedding party or family had to run around making sure everything came together. With Andrea’s help, we could focus on our wedding and enjoying the day. Every little touch Andrea added to our day, from making sure the schedule was followed to giving us a few minutes to be alone as husband and wife. I cannot speak highly enough about her attention to detail, her courteousness, her leadership, and her professionalism throughout our entire process from day one to wedding day -- it truly made...

My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Mill at East McKinney and it truly was a dream. Erin, the wedding coordinator, truly went out of her way to ensure that our day was perfect. My bridesmaids and I were able to still utilize the bridal suite although our ceremony was held at a church nearby the venue. This was something unheard of for other venues, so when Erin told us that she could accommodate for us, we immediately knew we struck gold with this venue. The bridal suite was large enough to comfortably fit my 10 bridesmaids, mothers of the groom/bride and myself. Erin went out of her way to coordinate with all of our other vendors weeks before our wedding day to ensure every vendor was on the same page. She also helped decorate the reception hall with our bridal party - how sweet is that?! By the end of our journey with The Mill at East McKinney, my husband and I truly felt like Erin was family. She truly cared about us throughout the whole process, communicated consistently with us and kept emphasizing how she wanted our wedding day to be the best day ever for us. Erin brought us complete peace, joy and excitement on our wedding day. On top of all of this, The Mill is an absolutely gorgeous rustic venue that keeps getting renovated and is located in the heart of downtown McKinney. Our guests absolutely loved the venue and we kept getting compliments all evening on how cute and rustic it was. Planning a wedding throughout a pandemic is as stressful as it seems, but Erin took so much of the stress off our shoulders. Thank you to the wonderful Erin for making our dream wedding...
