I cannot say enough wonderful things about The Willowbrook Mill, or the venue owners, Mimi and Samantha. For the almost two years we were engaged, Mimi was there for us every step of the way, she helped us see a vision we didn't even know was possible, and helped us execute it flawlessly. Mimi and Samantha both went above and beyond their roles, even going as far as contacting local government figures to try to sort out a situation that occurred with our ceremony site that was in no way affiliated with their business at all. Not only is The Willowbrook Mill hands down the most gorgeous and unique event venue in Northern Michigan, the owners Mimi and Samantha are the icing on the cake. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives, and I owe a great debt of gratitude to The Willowbrook Mill for everything they did to contribute to that.

We got married on June 10th 2017 and had the best day of our lives! Samantha and Mimi were more than accommodating to us. This was a destination wedding for us and they were so easy to plan with and they were very detailed in their responses and quick with replies. They made the process very easy and had great suggestions! We were in love with Willowbrook Mill as soon as we toured the venue. There is no other place like it and it really shows what Northern Michigan is all about. On the day of the wedding when I arrived Samantha and Mimi were there and checked in with me right away. They offered me a bottle of water and a side room if I needed to take a break and a mirror for me to touch up my make up! They are amazing!! Our day would not have gone as smoothly without them! We are so happy with how everything turned out! We love you guys!
