I want to be very honest about my experience with the Corley Mill House. I got married on…read more June 15, 2019. I chose this venue because of the inclusiveness of it all and me living out of town. I don't know that I would choose this venue again due to these 5 most important factors for me: Communication Mrs. Sheila was very good at responding back to my emails very quickly! I was able to reach her by phone and setup times to come in. However, on the pricing sheet it stated there were many other items for use. I asked several times in January and February for the list of items. She said it would be finished by the end of February but I never received it. Food I was the most disappointed with the food. I chose an option for a beef brisket carving station which on the menu explicitly states it is carved in front of guests. There was no carving and the small sliders were already put together. I also chose a mac and cheese action chef station in which the menu also states there are many toppings to choose from such as pulled pork, bacon, mushrooms, ,etc. There were no toppings but bacon for the mac and cheese. The beaufort stew skewers were cold and did not seem very fresh. The bartender made my pineapple, rum, and strawberry drinks all wrong. I sent a very specific email stating how these should be made. Instead the ingredients were poured in a pitcher and served from there. Those drinks were to be made when ordered and shaken. Friendliness The entire catering staff that day were very sweet. However, the bartender had a less than pleasant demeanor and not very friendly. I do not feel I had any issues with Sheila or day-of coordinator Nancy as far as friendliness was concerned. Mrs. Sheila was always able to make time to meet me when I wanted to set a quick meeting. Nancy was very pleasant and friendly the day of. Ease of the day I will say that it was a HUGE relief and help to have Nancy directing the rehearsal and the day of the wedding. It is also a huge help because they do help with clean up and getting things to your car. This is a major plus! I rented and paid for 7 hours. 4:30 to 11:30! I did end up cutting the wedding short because many guests had already left and I was feeling tired. I ended and left around 10 or 10:15. I was very disheartened to hear that my family that stayed behind to gather my personal belongings felt rushed to get out of the house. As I was leaving, things were already being cleaned and put away. This should not have happened as I paid for the event to go to 11:30. Cleanliness On the day of my wedding, the card and gift table linen had several crumbs of some sort on which I had to brush off and a small stain. Positives of the venue Good space and beautiful grounds, help with logistics from Nancy during rehearsal and the day of, and they set up everything for you. Needs Improvement FRIENDLINESS from bartender, cleanliness, quality of food and providing exactly what is offered on the menu, taking the time to understand exactly how I wanted things set up, and making my family feel rushed to gather my belongings even though they were still on paid time.

I can not speak highly enough about the communication and venue provided by John Banks who is the…read morenew owner at the Corley Mill House. We chose this venue for both my daughter and now my son's upcoming wedding based on many things, but John's vision for the future of this venue and the new additions, along with his wonderful personality, made The Corley Mill House the perfect spot for our events. The upgrades completed by John, the location, and the inclusion of many items needed for an event really made planning so easy. I highly recommend a visit to this venue as you make wedding plans. The grounds are beautiful, well kept, and easy to maneuver for all of your guests. The location is easily located for all those attending your event.

We did a southern food theme & it was perfect! I wouldn't have changed a thing. I can't make a recommendation on anything that could have been improved. I communicated with Della. She was easy to talk to and returned communications immediately. She helped me plan the meal & made suggestions for what would go best with my menu. She also made a delicious red velvet cake as the birthday cake. I'll definitely use Something Small Catering for our next family celebration. I'm so grateful that I was able to work with them to make this event such a huge success.

I didn't have time to partake of the food but the ladies I asked, said the food was very good. There were some timing issues as she was about 45 minutes late but thankfully we were able to pivot and start our program a little early as a work around. Some of this lateness may have been because of an accident and no fault of her own. There was some miscommunication regarding price as we went through email and she didn't use a lot of punctuation, so just verify amounts over the phone. Overall, we were happy with the services and food provided. Thanks!

Yall yall yall! When I tell you I hunt this man down to find out when he's on Garners Ferry so I…read morecan get some shrimp tacos. I follow his fb and IG. First off, the delectable shrimp lay in a bed of flavorful Coleslaw that adds a nice acidity in a fried fluffy taco shell. The shrimp are fried and seasoned to perfection with a slight kick and I'm not sure what the sauce is but it kind of reminds me of like southern yum yum/ spicy mayo sauce lol (sorry if I got it wrong). But the sauce is the banger..I love it so much . Next we got the turkey wing. Now me personally I don't care for turkey wings in general but the crispy skin on it, gives it a harmonious crunch and the spice gets you kickin. They add a side of like hot honey on the side and its a perfect match to the wing. And lastly, we tried the salmon kabob for the first time. It should be a crime to fry salmon thinking it would get overcooked but NO. That salmon was so juicy and tender and the breading was so flavorful and crispy. The breading itself was slightly salty but they used that same yum yum sauce on it and it balanced out the saltiness. It was so good, it fell off the stick. If I wasn't keto, I'd go to him every day no matter where he was but I gotta keep my diet in check But in all honesty I see why he's always so busy. We wanted to try the hotdog but they were sold now. Next time ima have to go early! But yall follow him at celebrity status catering on fb and ig to find out where he is daily and what's on the menu
