Lots of parking and handicapped parking available, no stairs to climb. The building looked new and nicely decorated inside, greeting area/ check in, the hall was a pretty large event area, it also had a concession area with a stage. I attended the Carolina Hair Expo, the event was small but enough for about approx 20 vendors maybe. The event was really nice for this area, it still kinda new, Im sure yrs to come it will be more vendors. I did purchase a few items for my hair and some jewelry. I would recommend using this venue if I needed a one in the future.

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.

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.

From the atmosphere of the Class Reunion celebration to the tastiness of the food - my expectations were exceeded.

I have nothing but great things to say about this company and their yacht. I would recommend their private charter to anyone looking to have a grand time in a scenic environment. They sure made my 10 Year Class Reunion a success!

Purchased tickets for the Purple Martin tour for 8/15. A few days after I made the reservation…read moreonline, I received an email stating that I had been refunded for my ticket purchase. I was confused, so I called the office, as I had not requested a refund or been contacted before that email was sent to me. I inquired about the refund and they stated that I would need to rebook and they could not accommodate people on 8/15. I asked why I was able to book for 8/15 at all and they were hesitant to state it was an issue on their end. They eventually explained there was an issue on their end with their website, and they had to cancel everybody that had booked on 8/15, as they had an event that day instead (an anniversary - congrats to the couple), that their website wasn't reflecting. They did not apologize and simply stated if I wanted to attend a tour, I'd just need to pick another date or I could take the refund. I explained that date was the only one that worked and thanked them for their time. At some point, they called me twice that day. But they did not leave a voicemail the first time and the second time they left a voicemail where the employees were talking to each other about who on "the list" had been contacted about the cancellations and how to mark them contacted. It was clear they were unaware I had contacted them already. I did not call back and I have not heard anything since. Just felt a little weird ‍ and impersonal, for something that is supposed to be really cool! Not a super great experience.

Once you get a clue it definitely helps to figure out the direction you should be headed in. I like that you don't get penalized for using clues like some escape rooms do. The game was really fun and figuring out the clues was fun as well. The only hiccup was that one of the piece was missing from one of our puzzles but we were still able to proceed past it. I will say that for those with vision issues - this escape option has very low lighting. But we adapted just fine. The staff were very professional and accommodating. The ambiance of the facility was great. This location is easy to fine and free parking. Very clean establishment. The typical steam punk decor that I've noticed with Escapology locations. We escaped with just a few minutes remaining!!! Would highly recommend for a date night, fun night out with friends, etc. They have kid friendly rooms too like Scooby doo.

On my last visit to hang with the family (Sept 2025), my youngest niece was invited to the birthday…read moreparty of one of her peers @ Escapology. We decided to book a separate escape room for the rest of the fam and make it a girls outing, while the adolescent was enjoying the festivities. This made the best usage of time, especially since we had to drop her off and pick her up anyway. So, I booked the "Under Pressure" room for four, and it was a few dollars less than $175. When booking online the night before I realized some of the more popular times and sort after rooms were unavailable. Times slots for a few rooms became sold out as I was trying to book. Nonetheless, I mange to complete the purchase and have the liability waivers completed. This visit to Escapology is my 3rd Escape room while visiting the Columbia area and one of the nicer ones on just first impressions, location and parking. The staff was extremely friendly and the waiting/reception area was nicely themed and designed. Upon arrival we were checked and asked to wait while the room was prepared. Once our room was ready we were escorted to the start, giving directions & safety instructions, and then the clock was started. Of course they ask that you do not take videos/photos to not expose any clues to the game. The room was clean and the clues were mostly straight forward. We ended with a victory and escaped with merely seconds to spare. However, there were a few inconsistencies with the order of clues and we encounter a couple of missing or broken pieces/steps in the process of solving the puzzles and escaping. This has happened to me before (with another company) it can be frustrating and cause you not to beat the clock, but like I said we managed to succeed. Albeit by the skin of our teeth. Lol Overall we enjoyed the room and took our victory photos after. We were given rubber bracelets marking our achievement of beating the room. They have bracelets for each room and offer patrons the challenge of completing and collecting them all. After completion they offer a return promo/discount if you book your next escape room the same day. It's recommended if you enjoyed it because you get a little break on the price and I believe you can book it up to six months out. Just A Note: -If coming with a group I will recommend booking early. -If possible, I suggest that one person books for everyone to ensure getting the room and time you prefer. (Recommended but not required)
