I attended a wedding recently. The salad was disgusting . And wet and lettuce was slimy. The cake was moldy. And not with bits of chocolate chips I have heard it is reserved from other events which were a week before. Also after party on site Pizza ice cold and soggy. read more

Totally inflexible in the day of COVID. Had to cancel our wedding because of the current restrictions imposed by the Governor as well as the fact we do not want to risk our family's health. We asked if we could use our deposit on a future event with them and were denied that request. Jeff is horrific to work with and does not care about you or your event. When we asked "how is Kings Mills handling COVID?" He was not interested in discussing their mitigation efforts but rather only had an interest in talking about how much money he is making during COVID for five minutes. read more

My husband and I chose Kings Mills for our wedding ceremony and reception back in November 2021. We chose them because the location was stunning, the prices were comprehensive and affordable--nothing hidden unlike every other wedding venue we pursued, and they were willing to work with us for a short deadline. We had a 5 month engagement, but even with that short notice Kings Mills was accommodating and made the process easy, ensuring we made all the decisions in a timely manner and every detail was covered. Each time we met and discussed details further we always left with an updated pricing estimate which was SO helpful! Additionally, the location is SO beautiful that we were able to have our ceremony, reception and all of our wedding photos/video done on site. It was so smooth and our guests loved not needing to travel to another location for the reception and enjoyed exploring the area and taking their own photos while we had ours done on the property. We absolutely LOVED having our wedding there. We had guests come from all over the country and everyone said the same thing--they were overwhelmed by how beautiful the venue was, the hospitality and how polite the staff were, and many said they are keeping the venue in mind for any future events and weddings to recommend to people. We can't say enough good things about our experience with them! read more

Our son and his fiancee decided to get married in 2020. After an extensive search , Kings Mills was the choice. 200 friends and relatives from all over the country were invited. Then the covid virus hit .They tried to keep the plans but with rules and regulations being changed by the government and to keep every one safe, they were forced to postpone the wedding. Unfortunately a new date could not be reached with Kings Mills .A refund was requested and Kings Mills refused to honor the request. The kids are out the entire deposit. I strongly suggest if you are considering Kings Mills , you eliminate them from consideration. They obviously lack customer service and business ethics. Steven M. read more

Excellent venue. Our niece had an outside ceremony which was beautiful with the fall leaves and the waterfall sound. The food was excellent. The sense of history was palpable. Very enjoyable. read more

Unfortunately been here for two separate events (waited until after the second) and both times the experience was very underwhelming. Cocktail hour food felt like it came from the frozen section at the local Shop rite. Drinks had to be watered down, I drank way more then usual and was sober (other people said the same). And right at 10:50 the owner made sure to push everyone out very rudely . read more

Can I give no stars? This place is a sh!t show. It's pretty outside, but that does not make up for the rude staff , even ruder owner , and horrendous food. For starters , small plastic ware for drinks , they refuse to give you the can or bottle . They poured the beer into the cup , but saved the remainder of the beer that didn't fit into your child size plastic cup on a shelf , until they had enough lined up to equal a beer for the next person who ordered that. Ghetto. The hors d'oeuvres were underwhelming and sad . When cocktail hour ended , the staff made an announcement to get out of that room . Some staff directed you to walk to the end of the parking lot on the other side of the building , only to be scolded by another employee when you arrived at that door and sent back to the door you came from. Dinner time - not edible . Get McDonald's or Chic Fila on the way if you can cause you're gonna be hungry .You are getting served GRAY , dry , cold "prime rib" that could barely be cut. Cold , canned green beans . I THINK what was supposed to be a crab / flounder dish looked like a cat ate it's dinner too fast and then threw it back up , they wrapped it up in some weird white rubber , microwaved it for 4 minutes , let it sit for 20 minutes , and threw it on a plate .Not edible . At all. Felt like thanksgiving day in prison . Also , the employees came to your table when it was time to eat and yelled at you that they were going to call out your name and you had to raise your hand for your dinner . Our salad plates were still in front of us at this time , they had not been taken away and were there for quite a while . There was no room on the table for it now but when asked if we should hand it to them they got very annoyed and said that wasn't their job that was the servers job . What .. are ... you?!?! While some tables had their cold cat prison food ... other tables waited another hour before getting theirs. The bride and groom asked the DJ to start dance music , and the employees said no because they weren't done serving . So because they were running very very very behind with dinner , a lot of dancing time was lost . People didn't want to eat that slop - we wanted to dance . By the time they got their crap served there was about an hour left . Dessert was what appeared to be elderly muffins from acme or giant . Leftovers from an earlier brunch ? They sliced them up. The doors in the bathroom were weird, and didn't lock.. so you had to hold on to the door to keep it closed while you went ... since people couldn't really see under to tell if someone was in there The staff removed everyone's belongings out of the bridal party suite room and threw/shoved it all under the staircase in the room we were in hours before the night ended . There was no other event there that night so ... why?? It was very visible so it looked like we all arrived to a hotel too early and couldn't check in yet. The bartenders spent the entire night rolling their eyes and acting annoyed and bothered when you ordered a drink . I guess I would be pissed to have any part of that places operation too. At the end of the night .. the absolute second the lights came on .. the owner was personally pushing people out . He made sure to announce very loudly to the bride and groom , their family and the bridal party waiting on the deck for their bus to pick them up , there was a charge for every extra 15 minutes we were there . I've worked in the restaurant business , I've catered many weddings , I've been to many many weddings , and I'm absolutely certain there was no excuse for any of that BS. Weddings cost way to much to be treated that way. There are so many other places that have incredible staff , food and will treat you the way you deserve . I wouldn't give this place a penny. read more

they freeze their cakes from a previous wedding and serve it to you... they have 2 15 minutes breaks for an 8hr shift. and they treat you like crap. read more

Working as a photographer at this venue I have never encountered such a rude difficult staff. If you are not one of there in-house venders they go out of the way to make your job difficult. I would really reconsider using this venue for your wedding. The outside area if beautiful and amazing for taking pictures. The food was subpar, and the interiors were dusty and dated. read more

Kings mills has been nothing short of amazing. They made our special day a wonderful experience. I had guests coming up to me all day saying how beautiful kings mills is as well as how great there food is. We planned our wedding in about a year and a half time and during that time Jessica helped us. If I could give her 20 stars I would even at the reception she ran around helping out. Everyone I came in contact with at kings mills made you feel welcomed and I can't compliment them enough. Thank you kings mills for being so great !!! Love, Renee and Chris Zepp read more

My wedding was yesterday. My husband and i had 105 guests. We used the camelot room for cocktail hour and the windsor room for our reception. The staff was amazing. Tom king the ower is fantastic. We did everything through them. The day was ecstatic! The outside ceremony was amazing!!! I recommend them to anyone. I have food allergies and they were very accommodating. Definitely need to check them out! You will not regret it!!! read more

I went to a wedding here. The outside areas are nice for photos, I guess. The food they cater was really subpar. Straight up: we got served bagel bites that they called "gourmet pizzas." Not little pizzas they made - BAGEL BITES. The service poor. The owner makes a big spectacle presenting a "gift" to the couple while plugging Kings Mills to all of the guests. It was pretty tacky and took away from the ambiance, of which there was little to begin with. We were told by our friends that the venue is very inexpensive, however. And you can supply your own liquor for the open bar, also saving money. read more

I was recently at wedding here and the property is nice. The management and food need lots of improvements. This is the first wedding I have ever been to that they serve canned green beans and frozen entrees. The food was horrible. The appetizers and deserts also were Costco. Cheap quick food, They charge a fortune for the dinner as well. Their entertainment was woeful. The bar staff were paid and tipped (generously)up front but still put a tip jar out despite the agreement prior. When the management weren't busy self promoting the place they were around harassing the brides mother charging extras for ridiculous things. The even charged a $150 to the bride because the flower girl accidentally drew on a table cloth. They managed to get the ink out but still charged it anyway. I would definitely NOT recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice wedding read more

We attended a wedding as guests recently. The grounds were naturally beautiful... If only everything else was this nice. Ceremony was OK, not enough plastic chairs for all guests. The microphone/speaker was also not loud enough to hear officiant and couple over the sound of the waterfall. Went inside for appetizers which were below average, and open bar drinks were all served in plastic ware. There were also reusable plastic table clothes on the round tables for guests to sit at. Most of the servers seemed to be between 15 and 17. We were asked to be seated, however our table was short a chair and place setting. It took more than 10 minutes to acquire said chair and table setting after verifying we had read the seating chart correctly. Dinner started with a house salad (mixed greens, tomato, cucumber) and worst potato dinner roll I've ever tasted. The wait staff were asking if we were finished with the champagne glasses before the toast had occurred. Now for dinner - double entree of overcooked, gray "filet" and lukewarm crab cake with (canned) green beans and an attempt at scalloped potatoes. If this was served to me at a restaurant, I would have sent it back to the kitchen and refused to pay for it. Also, as the entrees were brought out the wedding planner was asking guests if anyone needed vegetarian or gluten-free entrees; not sure how this would have worked if the rest of the table had already been served (but they were probably microwavable meals). So disappointing for the bride and groom, after spending so much money on their perfect wedding. Especially since the groom is an executive chef! read more

I got married at Kings Mills 4 years ago. It was a welcome relief after talking to several snooty venue coordinators that were inflexible and expensive. I stumbled on Kings Mills website since they do not advertise. I kinda wished they did even it was just in the Daily Times. Price: Very reasonable. After being told that $100 a plate was the cheapest other places would go. The catch is that they have a minimum guest amount so it guarantees that the make something like $10,000 at least per wedding. They were kind enough to lower the minimum for me. Venue Space: Gorgeous! I loved the classic colonial charm. The waterfall (that was used for the mill back in the day) is breathtaking. This was the reason that I was sold. They also have several rooms available. Stone walls and all hardwood. If you are looking for a modern updated space don't go because you wont appreciate the history in the walls here. I felt no need to over-decorate the space so it saved me money in decorations. I even loved the smell: stone, wood and water. It was refreshing. Convenience: Plenty of space for parking and very accessible from Philly or Delaware. Although there is a clear sign, you can drive by it pretty easily if you have a lead foot. Customer Service: Honestly I was taken aback by how friendly they were. I think they were taken aback by me since I was a very non-traditional bride. No ring bearer, flower girl, attendants, ushers, jumping the broom, father giving you away. You mean you're walking down that long lonely aisle by yourself!! *gasp* Some people may find it condescending but I just rolled with it. I rather that than someone looking at me like I'm wasting their time because I'm on a budget. Calls were returned, questions were answered and they were flexible. Things were spelled out clearly no surprises. Food: Delicious!! My guests are still raving about the food! If the food is bad then things have drastically changed. My guests were so full at cocktail hour they thought it was dinner. They don't do tastings though which made me nervous. I only had word from a friend of the family that they had good food. Day of Wedding : It rained the day of and I was delirious and thought it would stop just for me. (That April showers May flowers is a lie!) The owner met me at the door when I arrived and said "So we still going to have the wedding outside?!" *Smile* I replied "Yes we are!" *Crazy smile with sparkling eye* Don't ask me that I'm getting married today which automatically makes me crazy. An example of the friendliness may sound condescending. Needless to say wedding was inside in their chapel. I was hidden in a room in the back of the chapel. Panic Room I think they called it but may have been joking. I was given water, able to take pictures. Ceremony no problems. Picture time no problems. Moving from the chapel to the reception small issue. Since it was raining I would have liked a hallway to just walk through so I never had to go outside. But I was left alone with no staff after picture time in the chapel. I think this is the time when someone with larger pockets has the limo take them to the other side of the property. Cocktail hour started right on time for my guests but I was left waiting in the vestibule smelling the food, hearing everyone rave about how good it was, my own wedding party talking with food in their mouths.....hungry. Everyone assumed I had my own server. The servers were a lil slow about getting to me. I waiting patiently but after some time (who knows how long. brides can't tell time). Then I stole a piece of food from the best man's hand and crashed the cocktail hour. (So much for that elegant entrance). So if you want someone to be with you every second hire a wedding coordinator or get a family member or friend to attend to you. The owner does do a cheesy speech of two becoming one and does a lil Kings Mills infomercial in the middle of the reception. He presents you with a plague holding a $2 bill in a frame. I was so delirious from love, excitement and having food for the first time in a week, i hardly noticed. This may be annoying for some but we just hung the lil plague up in our dining room. We had a few of the additions: the picture where they do a Photoshop effect of you and hubby in the middle of the falls. That was a big hit at the reception since they do it right there day of. People actually asked how we got in the falls without getting wet. Looking closer at the picture they cut off my husband's goatee. Nothing major but just make sure to check thoroughly. We had a chocolate fountain also. Big hit everyone left happy, full and with leftovers. If I did it again I would choose Kings Mills again. I wished they had smaller rooms there so we could do other events their like anniversaries, baby showers etc. read more

This is the worst venue and only because of the owner. He will suck everything he can out of you from your money to your patience. "Mr. King" as he makes all his employees call him does not care about your event. He cares about getting your money. Your event will not go one second past the time scheduled. Literally he looks at his watch and the second it goes past the end time the music is brought down. He makes money off of each recommended vendor and will charge you if you bring in your own. Scam artist. Stay away. Go to a venue that cares about your event. read more

Attended a wedding, so I can only speak from guest perspective. Staff was awesome - cocktail hour/food was great. Staff was always around with a varied selection. Food was good / desserts were great!! Very pretty venue for a ceremony with the sound of the water fall in the back ground. read more

We had our wedding here back in Jan of 2011. This is a family run & opperated buisness. They were wonderful to work with and very friendly overall. Their vendors, which I booked all of, are very good as well. I did have an issue with their photographer (see my review for Lewis Rinaman) which I took off a star for. They have several different sized rooms that vary in style and feel. I had my wedding in the Water's Edge room for the big dining section and the stadge for cocktail hour and dancing. One side has wooden walls while the other had stone; a great feel for my winter wedding! Our room also had a back room bar perfect for our wedding along with a bar on the stadge. They also have all wooden and all stone rooms. Something unique I noticed was their upstairs office room for bookings. They had tons and tons of things you could 'add onto your final bill'...things like ring pillows, or cocktail napkins, garters, wine glasses, favors...the list goes on and on. THey ordered our napkins and matches, and also our favor boxes and had them delivered directly to them for us and then they handled all the mess like set up. It made things so much easier; because anyone who's ever planned a wedding knows you'll probably forget things along the way so having them all their was great! I think my favorite things about them was the waterfall. It made for amazing pictures in the snow with the waterfall as our backdrop. Beautiful! I strongly reccomend this venue for weddings, work events, family gatherings, etc. They made wedding planning so easy and stress free and I would suggest them to all my friends and family. read more

We attended a wedding here on Saturday night. As guests, I thought the grounds were beautiful. It was a gorgeous location and the picture opportunities are incredible. We made our way inside, and it was everything I could have wanted for my own wedding day. Cocktail hour was great, the hors doerves were all incredible. I have to complain tho, about the beer. We like to drink our bottled beer from actual bottles. After a few beers, I had asked the bartender if I could just have the bottle. Instead of giving me an answer that was polite, as in 'it's against our policy to serve bottles' or something along those lines, he said to me 'it looks like a beef and beer when people drink from bottles' I thought that was snarky. I felt like he was putting me down. For the actual reception, we had to go upstairs. It was beautiful. The room was perfect. Our table was across the room, in the corner. The DJ was in the middle of the room, to the other side. We couldn't hear a thing. When the bridal party was announced, the DJ was all muffled and the music was too low. We couldn't hear one song where we were - I understand it was now dinner time, but he needed to make it a little louder. The food was incredible. Stuffed chicken and crab imperial.. My mouth is watering thinking about it. The service was good - they seemed a little rushed and hurried and at times a little overworked. Maybe they were short staffed? But, everyone was super nice - except for the photobooth attendant. She was incredibly rude. It actually became a joke with our friends about trying to make her smile. She actually rolled her eyes at me and my friend at one point as were selecting our props. I was tempted to ask her 'you must hate your job, don't you?' but I didn't want to start anything - it wasn't my place. And the DJ's volume didn't really pick up, either. The bathrooms were downstairs, also. THAT was problem for us ladies in heels after a few drinks!! All in all, it was a great night - we had a great time! It's just a shame because I would have loved to give 5 stars - but the service took away from the evening. read more

Facilities are beautiful both inside and outside. Staff is very friendly. horderves were delicious and they will work with your budget. Negatives: They don't accept credit cards and have no financing options Main meal (chicken and Beef) wasn't too good They charge you $195 fee if you hire a photographer or DJ that isn't theirs and doesn't have insurance of their own. I did get complaints from my guests that their waiters ignored several of their requests things for like salad dressing, butter, etc. They deceived us into thinking that if you need more time at the end of the reception it's only $60, but it's actually $395 per half hour. My wife and I were totally shocked with this part of the bill. We both agreed they never explained that and while it's "in the contract" they lied to us in the beginning and never explained this part, plus when I called to complain they didn't seem to care much. read more

I have attended and hosted many events at Kings Mills. From company holiday parties to a baby shower for 50, this venue never disappoints. The staff is competent and committed to excellence from the first phone call through the end of the event. read more

I recently attended a wedding here and honestly don't know how they stay in business. I will say the place is very nice decor wise, and outside is really nice as well. None of this really matters when the service is so bad. We had to wait in line for 20-30 minutes to get a drink at the one bar that was open, and the bar was in a separate room from the reception. One door in and out that wasn't very wide. People had to order 3-4 drinks at a time to keep from staying in line the whole time. My last trip to the bar ended when it was finally my turn and the bartenders just walked away without a warning leaving at least 50 people in line(2 lines). Fast forward to dinner. It took 50 minutes for the food to get to our table. There was one man (owner?) placing plates on the table and plenty of waitstaff around that could have helped. Food was cold and I don't think if it were hot that it would have made a difference. Dessert table was decent but coffee sucked. Attention Brides!!!! Spend your parents money elsewhere. You can thank me later. read more

What a disappointing year. In what was supposed to be an exciting start to a family member's married life, the world has been turned upside down by coronavirus. Everyone has been affected, but some businesses, like this wedding venue, are not handling the situation well. Despite not having the capacity to offer the services originally contracted for, the venue is refusing a refund of their significant deposit fee. Be careful when doing business with this place. read more

Had my daughter wedding there recently and the whole event from pre ceremony, to the ceremony, to cocktail hour, right through the reception went off without any issues. The full staff was kind, courteous, to my daughter and family and friends. Everything they said they would do, they did. And being in the food service business I can be picky or know what should be expected. The appetizers were non stop, the meal was served promptly, right up to the cake and coffee. Even after it was over the owner and staff still assisted us in loading up our Cars. The 5 stars are well deserved read more

This was a well-staffed venue. Servers were orderly and unobtrusive. There was no waiting at the bar; drinks were easily had. The food was good, not hot. I understand it takes time to serve 100 people, thus, the food will cool. Used plates and glasses were readily cleared by the waitstaff. Restroom was clean, with plenty of soap. Parking was a breeze. The site is easy to find. The room temperature was comfortable. What more could one desire? read more

I got married at King's Mills this summer (2012). King's Mills is a beautiful place and if you would like to have them completely do your wedding.. (everything decorations.. using their recommendations for photographers and djs) I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them. However if you would like to add your own decorations and bring in your own people ... I'M NOT SURE I'D RECOMMEND THEM. There is some excessive charges (in my opinion) to have them remove any of their decorations (mostly fake flowers).. and if you'd like to hang lanterns or have christmas lights strung up there is a very high charge for that as well. You get an hour to decorate for free.. but if you go over that hour you are charged. You get time for your rehearsal but if you go over that time you are charged. If people go into the chapel before the specified time you are charged. Basically there are a lot of charges that I wasn't expecting. Don't get me wrong the wedding was absolutely beautiful and it was everything I hoped it would be. However I do want people to be aware that there are some downfalls and a lot of high charges for things that you wouldn't expect. Also you get mixed feelings from the staff. Some of the staff are very sweet and easy to work with and others....were not. It could be rather confusing. So in conclusion.... I had a wonderful wedding and it felt warm and fun and laid back just like I wished it to be. Every place has its ups and downs but it wouldn't be right for me not to warn others about some of the charges that you may come across. It can be a great experience as long as you come into the experience knowing the ups and downs! I went back and forth about what to put in this review! My day was perfect and beautiful and I wouldn't change it but there were some things leading up to the day that weren't great and I do want to express that. read more

This place is fabulous! We recently had our weding there and everything went perfectly! From start to finish they know what they're doing and help you handle it all. The food was great and the cake they provided was delicious! They have their own florist and photographer and can even do save-the-dates, invitations and favors! The price was great and the service can't be matched. Not to mention the awesome setting for pictures. The waterfall outside looks great and all the wood work inside really adds to the background of the pictures. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! read more

Tom and the entire staff at Kings Mill, I want to Thank you from the bottom of my heart for providng my daughter Katie and Brian an exceptional wedding experience on May 24th. From beginning to the end you all did a remarkable job. The hor'deorves were outstanding and plentiful and the food was delicious. The venue was so beautiful. We all received so many compliments. Tom, my friend so enjoyed hearing the history of how King' Mill came to be. Outstanding and again Thank you!!! Susan Ryder read more

I am a newlywed who booked my wedding with Kings Mills. I cannot fully express how happy I was with their service and venue and how absolutely perfect my wedding day turned out. Both myself and my fiance have friends and family who traveled into town for our wedding from literally all over the world, and now, two weeks later, we are still getting emails, texts, and calls about what a great time they had at our wedding and how great this place was! We were recommended to Kings Mills by my coworker, who had her wedding there in summer of 2014, and everything positive she told me about this place was true. The provide with a list of several recommended vendors, and we used their recommendations to select photographer, hotel ,transportation, florist and DJ, all of whom were wonderful to work with and whose services we were pleased with. Our theme for our wedding was romantic and rustic with some antique elements utilized throughout-such as brooches that belonged to my grandmother, decorations and vases we collected at antique stores during our engagement- and Kings Mills was the perfect location for this vision to come true. We held our wedding in the stone chapel and our reception was in the paradise ballroom. The high wood ceilings, windows, and stone walls made for some great pictures! The grounds are gorgeous, and pictures by the waterfall were taken not only by us but by family and guests. The food came out beautifully and the staff were kind and attentive to everyone during the event. It means so much to me that this special day came out so beautiful and went off without a hitch. if you are looking for a beautiful location, relaxed atmosphere with good food, good service, and a place to have a wonderful celebration with your friends and family then this is a venue to consider. read more

~~~Kings Mills Inn is the best choice for a Wedding Hall. I had two years to plan my daughter's wedding and we visited many Banquet Facilities in the Philadelphia area. We also did extensive research online. We finally decided on Kings Mills Inn for the following reasons - Professionalism - They are very polite and patiently answered our every question. Service - The service there is excellent - it is like a one stop shop for a wedding. When you hold an event there they take care of everything, from the decorating, planning, advising, food - even the cake is included!! Price - They are very reasonable and even let you bring your own alcohol. I can't say enough about the level of professionalism in this Company, from our very first email to phone calls and visits, they were extremely prompt, polite and so attentive. Also they were so patient with all our requests. From the first time we contacted them, I was at ease and trusted them completely for all the planning and decorating at the wedding. All our guests were completely blown away at the reception and are still telling us how beautiful everything was. The bartenders did a great job too - Kings Mills Inn advised us on how much alcohol will be needed for the event. Everyone raved about the cocktail hour appetizers that were circulated so frequently. The food was laid out very well too. For desserts they not only served the wedding cake, they also served slices of cheesecake, carrot cake, pumpkin pie, etc (again - all included in the price). The Bride and Groom were also served the hors d'oeuvres even though they were in different rooms getting changed before the ceremony. Thanks again Kings Mills Inn, we will be hosting future events with you too!! If you are reading this review, don't think twice - hire them right away - it is the easiest and best decision you will make for your wedding."~~~ read more

To Reverend King and everyone at Kings Mills, Brian and I can't thank you enough for giving us the most perfect wedding we could have asked for. From the very beginning, everyone was so helpful and kind. We can tell that you are all very passionate about your work, and we couldn't have found a better place to celebrate the most important day of our lives. On our wedding day, everything went so smoothly, and everyone had a great time, including us! And that really means a lot. Thanks again for everything! ~ With sincere appreciation, Laura and Brian read more

Just had a 50th Birthday here Friday Sept 28 2012 and loved it! Every one of my guests commented on how wonderful the facility was, how amazing the food was and how incredibly attentive and gracious the staff was. Jessica and the owners were terrific in helping me plan and everything worked out beautifully. All during the evening my guests kept telling me what a great place it was and complimenting the food. So much food! I chose Kings Mills because of how wonderful they were to work with. Other places I contacted charged for every little thing. Some of my guests want to have parties there now. Get the chocolate fountain! Thank you King Family, Jessica, John Scibello, Anthony Romano and the rest of the staff. read more

We just had a wedding ceremony and reception at Kings Mills and it was wonderful! We read all of the reviews, some good and some not so good, but our daughter loved the look of the venue and we selected it for the wedding. We were not disappointed. From the outside ceremony by the waterfall to the the never ending appetizers to the dinner - it was all wonderful. The actual site with high wood beamed ceilings and big glass windows looking out to the woods is a great attraction. The staff was extremely helpful. Yes they have some restrictions on the proceedings but they were all discussed and understood up front. They were very helpful in planning the drinks, the flowers, and the photographer. We had a live band who had no problem in getting connected to the sound system. We were very pleased - it was just the type of location my daughter was looking for on her important day. read more

This place was great. I got married here two months ago. Everything was organized and hassle free. The owner was nice enough to upgrade several things for me, at no cost. He even provided film noir and other old movies for my Halloween wedding. They were a hit, especially once people had a few drinks in them. Some people commented on the food, ours was great. It's hard when serving large groups to get things fresh and delicious. As compared wedding dinners, this was in my top three. As for drinking, it's BYOB, so any alcohol shortages are on the party renting the venue. The bartender's tip jar is there because hiring him for the night is less expensive if he has a jar out. The only reason they loose a star is I'm not a fan of the baker they work with. The cupcakes turned out great. The cake, however, looked like it was decorated by a toddler. I told him to ice it plain orange (to contrast with the black cake topper). Lo and behold he iced white, and put weird little v shapes (I guess they were bats), yellow flecks (no sure on those), and crooked tombstones. read more

I was the Matron of Honor at my sister's wedding, let me start out by saying the nicest thing was the bride, the groom and, the wedding guests! My sister paid for the cocktail hour that was 45 minutes, they crammed over a 150 people in a small room with one bar, where you were lucky if you got one drink, they gave no warning when cocktail tail hour ended they just shut the bar down and told everyone that is was over and to move to the ballroom. During the cocktail hour, they bridal party was of course busy getting pictures taken outside, we were told that we would be butlered drinks and food which never came, we missed over half of the cocktail hour and were treated like little school kids by the so called house "photographer" Lewis Rinaman. While he was setting us up for a bridal party picture he told us to "Shut up and listen to him!" after the bridal party was dismissed we got to enjoy a whole 5 minutes of the cocktail hour, the food was wretched, either over cooked or under cooked. Once the reception started and we were announced I was hoping things would get better, I am sad to say I was so wrong!! Walking in not one guest was able to see us, we were all cramped in and hidden behind pillars, the photographer was nowhere to be seen and the DJ had a hard time keeping our names straight even after he had a list with all of our names written down and confirmed with us. When we sat down and when all of our speeches where said the owner came out and gave a "speech". He did not ask the bride or groom if this was OK, he took it upon himself to give a speech about love and money and then presented them with a 2 dollar bill in a frame. This was lame attempt to get yourself seen as the head honcho. Mr. King should never even have been seen or heard all night unless there was an issue. When dinner was FINALLY served, half the guests where already done and the other half hadn't even been served yet. The food was cold, slimy, and frozen pre-processed. The desserts had no tastes and where defrosted pieces of cake. Now we know why they cannot do taste tastings, I don't even think they have a kitchen on site. The wait staff was all under the age of 20 and moved around the room like they were at recess, there was more than enough of them but the service still fell short.." They were rude and did not care if they ran you over to get back to the prep room. We were told we could have seconds but when asked we were told there was no more food. The DJ was in one word TERRIBLE! He was so out of touch with the more modern songs and when we requested certain songs he either looked at us funny or played the songs UNEDITED! The bride had to taken away from her dancing and having fun to travel up the steps to him more than once to get songs played because the DJ said he needed her permission to play any requests and even then he would ignore her. She told the DJ before that ANY requests besides the Chicken Dance, and that were appropriate are fine and should be honored. The DJ played music HE wanted to hear and cut off songs when HE decided they were over. He didn't even announce that there was a photo booth, I had to travel around and let the guests know, and I also had to do the same with the desserts. Needless to say both of these vendors are recommended by the Kings Mill and the photographer is there in house picture guy, Lewis, who was too busy knocking back drinks and feeding his face to take pictures, his camera was in its case under the table most of the night. When he felt like snapping a picture he was so rude and arrogant, his people skills are very unprofessional and his picture settings are cheesy, recycled, and over done. If you have no taste, money to throw away, and want to be treated like a moron The Kings Mill is the place to have you once in a life time wedding! read more
