    Unsurpassed!

    Choosing Empire Mills and Hallie Jane Catering was by far the best choice we made for our daughter’s wedding. The ambiance of the the grounds made the evening magical! The meal prepared for our guests was delicious and it was also served with such class! The professionalism and friendliness of the bartenders did not go unnoticed. Seeing how happy the bride and groom were throughout the evening only solidified that we made the best decision with you all! We only wish we could have slowed down time as the night went by so quickly! Thanks again for all you did to make our daughter’s dream whimsical wedding come true!

    Thank you!

    Amazing from start to finish

    Empire Mills is an amazing venue. My husband stumbles upon this venue and it was everything we were looking for in a venue. The were easy to schedule a tour, provided all the information on the venue upfront, food was made on site and delicious. They made the actual day so relaxing, from the food to making sure I had everything I needed. I would choose them again if I could!

    Empire Mills's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Amanda! We're thrilled to hear that Empire Mills was everything you and Chase were looking for in a venue. It was an absolute pleasure to work with both of you and ensure your special day was as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. Knowing you would choose us again is the highest compliment we could receive! We wish you both all the best and hope to see you back at Empire Mills for future celebrations. 💕

    My dream wedding

    I don’t know where to begin. I’ve seen photos of other wedding at Empire Mills and thought it was beautiful, but never thought I would have to opportunity. When I got engaged, my fiancé actually was the one who set up a visit for us to see. We walked in, spoke with Katie-Marie who is absolutely amazing, and both were in love. We booked that day.
    Katie-Marie and Kathleen worked with us and were the most patient with me especially as I was doing it all by myself with no knowledge of how it all works. They both gave me guidance and ensured I was taken care of.
    The attention to detail and management of our wedding was so thorough. They make events seem less as almost everything can be done with them or added on. I like to call it a one stop shop. Hallie Janes being in house catering was a major plus too. We had a plated meal and every plate came out hot and the steak pulled apart like butter. It was one of the highest compliments from our guest.
    Empire Mills gave me that intimate industrial wedding I dreamed of. Having everything in one place and all feet away, our guest simply showed up and just shifted from building/ hall to hall for each part of our evening. It couldn’t have been more perfect for our big day. Thank you to the coordinators, chef, owner, and those who work behind the scenes. You made our day what it was!

    Incredible venue!

    Our wedding day was absolutely everything we dreamed of and Empire Mills was to thank! The attention to detail in every aspect of this venue does not go unnoticed. Between the bridal cottage with beautiful natural light for getting ready, to the grooms lounge with entertainment for the guys, to Marsden Hall with the stunning chandelier, to the Grande Hall providing the perfect setting for dancing and having a wonderful night!

    The Coolest Venue ever!!!

    The moment I saw Empire Mills, I was instantly in love! It is the coolest venue and has the most unique touches throughout. It has great indoor and outdoor options, which is very important when you have to utilize a rain plan like I did. Everything still turned out perfectly. The staff were so great to work with! I had to postpone my wedding twice due to covid and Empire Mills remained completely flexible throughout the entire process. Hallie Janes, the onsite catering company, is an added perk to this venue. The food is amazing and fresh. Several guests told me it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding! I wish I could get married at Empire Mills over and over again!

    Amazing venue

    We heard about Empire Mills from a friend and when we visited the venue it was love at first sight. The old cotton oil mill has been beautifully restored and made a perfect setting for my dream wedding! Kathleen was great and very responsive to our requests and questions. The staff for the wedding and reception was great and the food was delicious! We received so many compliments about how beautiful and perfect everything was at Empire Mills! We totally agree and couldn’t have been more pleased!

    Amazing venue and staff!

    We absolutely LOVED this venue and it's entire staff! It is the perfect combination of a unique industrial/historic venue with an amazing in house catering menu that everyone RAVED about! Seriously, everyone at our wedding said it's the best food they had ever had at a wedding! We couldn't have picked a better venue if we tried, and wish we could do our wedding day over and over again at Empire Mills!

    Get married here!

    Empire Mills is the most beautiful wedding venue I have ever seen! I had looked at so many before choosing here. Not only is the venue stunning, but the staff is amazing to work with! Kathleen is so detail oriented and responsive that I didn't have any stress while planning! Hallie Jane's food was the hit of the wedding and people are still talking about how delicious it was! I am forever grateful for Empire Mills making our day better than we could have ever imagined! I wish we could do it all over again! I highly recommend to all brides!!

    Wonderful experience!

    Everyone on the Empire Mills / Hallie Jane's Catering staff is helpful and professional. They helped triple check all the details, so it was easy to trust that they would make my day perfect. I didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of my wedding!

    Beuatiful Venue, Exceptional Staff

    As a wedding coordinator, I make sure to acknowledge when a venue has exceeded my expectations. Empire Mills did just that. Alex made a point to introduce himself early in the day and be available as the entire wedding party prepared for the day. They had flexibility in letting the family come set up the day before and conduct a rehearsal because they had no event scheduled. The event staff was in constant contact with me as they prepared to serve meals, pour champagne, cut cake, etc. Great service - Well done, Empire Mills!

    my dream wedding

    I knew when we pulled up to the venue that I wanted to get married there. It is not only a beautiful venue, but has great staff that comes along with it. Catering is in house, and it was amazing! All of our guest's absolutely loved the food and the service. Communicating back and forth with the coordinators through the months was always so simple and quick. Set up and take down was included which helped my family a lot, and you definitely get more out of your day then what you pay for. I will always look back on my day and remember this gorgeous, friendly place. It was perfect to say the least!

    Absolutely amazing!

    Our experience surpassed all expectations! The venue, the food, everything was just perfect! This team went above and beyond to make our day magical, and Empire Mills should be your #1 venue of choice! Kathleen really makes you feel at peace throughout the whole planning process, and she pays attention to every detail for you in case you forget something. The venue managers are amazing too, and they get you everything you need for wedding weekend. I couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful venue, or friendly staff to work with for such a special moment. Thank you to everyone for making our weekend absolutely PERFECT not only for us, but for each of our guests!! Simply amazing!

    You. Must. Book. This. Venue

    Empire Mills is a perfectly oiled machine that is disguised as a lovely old cotton seed mill! From the moment we saw the venue to the first meeting with Hallie Jane, the owner and preserver of history, we knew we had found our venue. Yes you must use Hallie Jane’s Catering if using her venue but that’s a great thing! It’s like having a fine restaurant onsite! The food was FANTASTIC! Kathleen our point of contact was so responsive to us and our wedding coordinator. I always knew what was going on, never felt “in the dark”.

    Outstanding venue!

    The entire staff at Empire Mills was absolutely incredible. Hallie Jane has been in the business a long time and she knows what she is doing! Working with Empire Mills made my wedding planning so stress-free. They do so much of the work and planning that normally is left to the bride to figure out (tables, chairs, linens, catering, literally everything). My wedding day was beautiful and perfect, and my guests were coming up to myself and my family to tell us what an amazing night they had and what an incredible venue EM was. I would recommend Hallie Jane and Empire Mills for any event!

    Just Say Yes!

    Empire Mills is a dream venue and the food from Hallie Jane's "wow'd" our guests! The staff is friendly and accommodating and helped make the whole experience that much more enjoyable. They envision each event as it's own making our night the perfect representation of "us" and one we will never forget.

    Empire Mills exceeded any expectations we had!!! From the Bridal Cottage to the Men’s lounge, everyone was comfortable while waiting for the big moment! The ceremony and reception area were absolutely both beautiful settings!! The service from the day we signed the venue contract until we left the premises the day of the wedding was professional, super nice and accommodating! We had so many compliments on the delicious food!! It was a beautiful wedding and I will probably use Empire Mills again for the marriage of my second daughter!

    Perfection

    If you are looking for a rustic and historical yet chic venue to tie the knot, look no further than Empire Mills! I would rate them a 10 out of 10 with regards to their professionalism, flexibility and responsiveness throughout the entire wedding planning process. I still have friends and family tell me that my wedding was by far the best wedding food they have ever had.

    My husband & I knew we wanted to get married at Empire Mills the moment we saw it in person. We initially visited the space when it was being renovated into the beauty that it is today. I loved being able to see an old neglected building transformed into the perfect venue for our wedding. I was looking for a venue with character, a history and unique features - and this is exactly what you get with Empire Mills! The exposed brick, wrought iron, chandeliers and huge windows give you the perfect back drop for your wedding ceremony & reception. The staff at Empire Mills is top notch, too! They were so easy to communicate with which was important because I was coming from Atlanta and they were able to help me stay on top of my to do lists from afar! We were able to get ready and hang out in our own spaces with the bridal cottage and the man cave - huge bonus! But one of the best things is that Empire Mills is a package deal with Hallie Jane's catering and you will not regret it! I still get compliments on our wedding food with guests saying that it was by far their favorite wedding meal to date - and its been almost a year and half since I was married!

    Beautiful Venue

    We had my daughter’s wedding at Empire Mills last weekend. It was a great day in every way! The venue is gorgeous with many great picture backdrops. There is hardly any need to decorate since the venue itself stands on its own. The food is amazing, although a little pricey. Still, everyone at the wedding raved about how good the meal and appetizers were. The staff is easy to work with and so very helpful. We had a great experience at Empire Mills making wonderful lifetime memories.
