From the moment we stepped into the West Mill to view we knew this was the place we were going to get married. We booked it there and then and instantly fell in love not just with the venue but with the west mill team. They go above and beyond and nothing is too much trouble! Anything you want they will do there best to support you with it. The venue is just INCREDIBLE!!! Our guests were absolutely blown away as we were. I could go on and go about how amazing this place is but honestly just go and look for yourselves- you will not be disappointed!!!

Jessica T. Married on 02/09/2018One of a kind!
We had our wedding at The West Mill on 21/06/21; having had it booked for around 3 years. As soon as we went to look at venue we knew it was the place for us! The industrial chic environment provided the relaxed wedding that we wanted. All of our guests loved the venue; it is so unique compared to any other venue and haivng the different floors for different parts of the wedding day means the flow of the day is never interrupted.
All the staff we had any interactions with were so professional, helpful and lovely to speak to! Our wedding was impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic, and despite how busy they must have been, the venue were always happy to speak to us and answer our millions of questions! We'd like to give particular mentions to Anna, Hayley, Hannah and Andrew for being so supportive in the run up and everything you did for us to make the day go so smoothly!
We couldn't have chosen a more perfect venue and we 100% recommend it to those looking for a unique, one of a kind venue, with a team of staff who will go out of their way to provide you with the wedding day of your dreams.
Thank you again,
The new Dr & Dr Evans!-

The West Mill were great to me and Jermaine, very flexible to our needs. Our day exceeded our expectations and that is mainly down to the West Mill's organisation. The food was incredible I could not fault anything.

Elesha R. Married on 25/08/2017This venue really does speak for itself. It's a truly stunning converted Cotton Mill that has has been renovated to perfectly cater to your wedding needs. The West Mill has a wow factor, with 4 unique levels to accommodate each wedding element (service, good, party, welcome room) and a gorgeous courtyard for your drinks reception beside a spectacular weir, the venue really does tick all the boxes.
The staff go above and beyond to ensure that your day runs perfectly and the onsite caterers Jenkinsons are equally fantastic.-

Cheryl S. Married on 18/06/2021
Exceeded our expectations
We held our wedding at the West Mill on 29th June 2021.
The whole day was totally amazing from getting ready to the last dance.
Everything was set up on each floor from the ceremony room through to the evening reception. There was no waiting about for rooms to changed around which made everything flow so easy.
We we’re lucky enough for the sun to be shining and we’re able to have our drinks reception outside. The drinks were served from the horse box which we loved.
The setting outside is superb, having photo’s by the river.
The food was amazing from the canapés, wedding breakfast and the evening grazing tables.
We stayed at the Mill House on our wedding night and the rooms are beautiful.
The staff looked after us and ensured everything went smoothly making sure we had everything we needed.
All in all a perfect day.
Thank you to Andrew and his team for going above and beyond to ensure our day was absolutely perfect.
Cheryl & Phil

Perfect day
“The most beautiful place to get married that isn’t actually a church”, “amazing attention to detail” - just two of my guests’ comments. Nothing is too much trouble and they really have thought of everything. -

Janice S. Married on 09/05/2017Nothing is too much trouble. They listen to what you want and help you plan it. The no corkage plan is an excellent idea. Helps with the budget. The venue is so beautiful it doesn't need too much adding to it. The outside space is stunning for photos.
