Stunning Venue & Incredible Service
We got married in Feb 2020 at this incredible venue. From start to finish the service/experience provided was highly satisfactory. All the team were amazing and helped make our special day go without a hitch. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a truly spectacular wedding day. We loved the fact the venue is split over the 4 floors as it allows for your day to run continually and you don't have to wait around for areas to be set up and cleared etc. In addition the added touches and decor included in the venue mean you need add very little to create a gorgeous atmosphere.

We were also really lucky to be able to stay within The Mill House which is accommodation next the main venue the night before and after the wedding which really added to our weekend. The accommodation is beautifully presented and extremely well maintained. The breakfast provided in the mornings was a fantastic spread and we were so well looked after by the two ladies who service the accommodation. Being able to have our closest friends and family all together for the weekend really added to our day.
I would highly recommend this venue to anyone considering having their special day at The Westmill.

The Fantastic West Mill
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.
