I cannot speak for the service received, the prices or how they do business here. I was simply a guest at a wedding. The venue is GORGEOUS. It has a lake/pond behind the ceremony. An evening ceremony as the sun sets is incredible! I would love to get married at a venue such as this. Incredible scenery! read more

I coordinated a wedding at Millikan Farms this past Saturday. Due to weather, we had to change several things during the week of the wedding. Cynthia is the best, always available and accommodating. They provided the decorations and customized everything to match the wedding colors. The price was very reasonable, the venue was beautiful and the staff was wonderful. I highly, highly recommend this venue for any type of event. read more

My wedding here was a complete disaster. This is lengthy but worth it! This venue is breathtaking, so much that I hardly had to decorate.... I can not take that from them at all! However, weddings are about an overall experience and my experience was a nightmare. I have several points here so let's start: 1) Poor communication: My husband and I had 3 sit downs with the coordinator prior to our wedding. During these times we discussed license/insurances needed for catering and the bar. In addition, these conversations mainly discussed logistics, decor needs, and set up needs. HOWEVER, the one thing, THAT HAD US REMOVED from the facility wasn't discussed not one time. And that was music. Our music was too "vulgar" and contained the "F-Word" which was not allowed, although other degrading words were. The contracts state several rules which were all supposed to be discussed at our first meeting, but that rule in particular was never discussed and according to the owner that will be changed moving forward. 2) Disrespect: Several times we were screamed at, to the point their faces were red. Guest left due to the event coordinator sweeping over their feet while they were eating. Without our knowledge our DJ was approached and slandered for an issue we were unaware of. When we were made aware, we were sure to talk to him and he was very diligent in making changes. Our final song,the one that got us removed that is, was Part II (On The Run) By Beyoncé ft. Jay-Z. The husband of the coordinator was the one who shut it all down, my husband tried so hard to talk to this man respectfully but not once would he look him in the eyes. 3) Nit-picking: All though there were complaints from staff all day about my party and my guests, the one that takes the cake is the complainant about decor flying off the tables.... There was a literal wind advisory on my wedding day. If there is a way for me to control the wind, please point me in the direction of the person I need to talk to about that because I'm quite confident it is beyond my power. 4) Bribes: My dad was tricked into paying an insurance fee after I told the coordinator that I had it! What really took this a step further was the discussion we had with the owner. The day after my wedding we had a phone call with him and he apologized and said he would refund us our last two hours. We met with him that following Wednesday, he hands us the money he promised and then asked that "we make him a deal". This "deal" was that we "take down the bad reviews" in exchange for a full refund. I proudly declined because not only is this unethical, but him and his team completely RUINED my wedding day. A once in a lifetime opportunity. A moment I could NEVER get back! Hear me when I say, I would have paid DOUBLE what I paid this venue to not have gone through what we went through. I still feel as if I'm at a loss for words, I can't believe this really happened. I've attend 2 weddings at this place prior to mine (different demographics than mine) and not once did they have an issue which was really why we booked here to begin with. Repeatedly we've been blamed for the coordinator being scared to leave her house. This is the same lady who had a truckload of men pull up on my people when we were asked to leave.... That's fear! Fear is also when you're a person of color and the cops have been called on you for a situation in which you've done no wrong. 4 county sheriffs to be precise. I legit left my wedding in tears; and not those of joy but of rage, sadness and disbelief. *** p.s my family and vendors who all were paying customers had their reviews flagged and taken down for the sole purpose of this business keeping 5 stars. Now that's a red flag . I've also added a photo of myself so that my post won't be removed for not "being in attendance" read more

This place is beautiful and my wedding was amazing, I wouldn't of wanted it anywhere else. Definitely recommend splurging on Cynthia's day of coordinating read more

The wedding was RUINED by the venue coordinator and it was extremely evident they didn't want us there. They had been looking for excuses all day to get us out the venue. We were asked to leave after doing the soul train line to a Beyoncé song. SO MUCH money was spent on this wedding for it to be shortened by two hours, not even getting the chance to do the bouquet or garter toss. There is definitely a certain demographic they like there and it wasn't ours...a sad but true reality Although the place is beautiful, it does not mean prejudice does not exist. read more

They like to remove post, don't be fooled by all of the positive ratings. I guarantee you, for every 1 good review, follows 5 bad! This establishment shouldn't call themselves a wedding venue! Extremely disappointed in the way this establishment runs their business. Kicking out a bride and her entire wedding party because they don't like the music they chose to play at their WEDDING, while PAYING for the space. To top It off you call the cops on a bride because of HER MUSIC CHOICE. How could you call yourself a wedding venue, when you obviously don't put the bride in perspective. Just disgusting! Do NOT BOOK WITH THIS ESTABLISHMENT!!! read more

A beautiful day turned into a nightmare because we danced in a soul train line to a Beyonce song. The reception was supposed to end at 10 but the manager Cynthia with truckloads of men shut it down and shoved us out. No one was being rude or violent. The only violence was Cynthia( the manager) and crew of men shoving everyone out. The venue itself was beautiful, I wish I could the same about the management. I know the owner will probably remove my comment because I heard he's done it on other bad reviews and pays people to put up good reviews so I'm going to copy and screenshot my comment just in case. read more

I attended a wedding recently at this venue and it exceeded my expectations! Cynthia was great to work with she was very helpful! Me and my husband said many of times "we wished we'd got married there". Cynthia had everything planned and didn't hover over us. I'm not sure the past reviews is talking about the same venue we were at because we definitely did not have any problems like this. I would recommend Millikan farms over and over. read more

Millikan Farms its self is beautiful! Perfect venue! Cynthia is an amazing and sweet woman and takes care of everything you need leading up to the big day and the day of! Anyone looking to get married or have any event this is the place to go! Thanks again Cynthia! read more

My initial review here was flagged and taken down because the establishment holder claims I was not a "direct client" of the wedding. So if you must know, a friend and myself played and sang guitar for the bride and groom. Copied below is my first review on Yelp that was taken down. Shame on yall at Millikan Farm for what you did and are trying to hide from the public... ---------------------- Before I give this review, please understand that everything about this place was beautiful. However... Let's discuss why you deserve every bit of a 1-star here. First, if we needed chaperons, we would've asked that to be provided the day of. You would've thought cameras were enough to monitor us and our whereabouts while there right? WRONG. Cynthia walked around during the entire wedding reception as if we were a bunch of spring breakers causing mischief. Not only that, and this wraps into the second point, You all pestered our DJ that was hired to play music that wasn't heavy on the vulgarities. But for some reason, it seems like yall only hear profanity in drums and rhythmic sounds. According to a source, that I won't name to keep their identity anonymous, the same music was played there previously at another wedding reception they attended... How come you all didn't shut them down? Seems like the only difference was because we were a group of minorities enjoying the music of OUR culture. That other wedding reception was a party of people that looked like you. So not saying you all discriminated against us, but that's sure what it looks like. ESPECIALLY after the source who attended the wedding reception the night before said they never even saw the people who owned the place... Meaning, you all were NOT there hovering over them like you were to us. And lastly, you need to know who this couple are to the community they live amongst. Mr. and Mrs. Martin did everything right and didn't let ANYBODY DOWN. They deserved a special day to finalize their love and commitment to each other in the presence of the people they care about. People from all over the US came to Sophia, NC just to be shutdown and asked to leave because YOU, Cynthia and the annoyed Owner across the street, did not like the choice of music being played on Sunday, (3/20/2022). But never had a problem with the same type of music the night before, Saturday (3/19/2022). Amongst the other crowd of people.... You even called a local few of your personal friends to pull up... And for what? NOTHING. I will tell everyone I know about my experience at Millikan Farms. Beautiful place like I said initially, but you didn't have to treat us this way. Yall need to understand going forward here that your actions SHATTERED my friend's wedding. They paid you all for an experience to create memories; but you stole that from them. Shame on yall at Millikan Farm for what you did to the Martins. We will never forget this... read more

I've been to this wedding venue multiple times and it's always been great! The staff is friendly and they keep the place in great shape.
