Bill Millers Castle

ue couldn't be happier to return for our big day. Victoria made the process so smooth - it was the easiest process any couple could ask for. Emails were always promptly answered, no question was silly, and she was ready to help in any way she could! When the big day came, we had a torrential downpour, but I WAS SO GLAD IT DID! The inside ceremony was the perfect intimate yet roomy setting (145 guests) and we felt like absolute royalty from the moment we arrived in the morning until the moment we left. For the money we spent, the service and Victoria and her staff's attention to detail, our guests must have thought we spent x10 what we paid. Our guests raved over our food (we had the castle plated option) and many of them said it was the best wedding they had ever been to - quick to compliment the venue. Thank you again to everyone at Bill Miller's Castle, especially Victoria. You made our dreams come true. We love you!

en dating for ten years and our big day was long anticipated for ourselves, and many of our loved ones. After getting engaged we booked tours at approximately 10 different venues. We wanted something that was different and had a rustic and unique look. We wanted to get married at a venue that was anything but a typical reception hall, and Bill Miller's Castle was definitely everything but that. Bill Miller's was our 5th wedding venue tour and immediately after our visit we canceled our other tours and booked BMC. Not only is the venue truly magical and unique, but the entire energy and level of care and support provided by the staff members was astounding. The dinner tastings that they host throughout the year allowed my fiancé--I mean husband- and I to taste all of the delicious food options and made it easy to decide on exactly what we wanted. Victoria from Bill Miller's was our coordinator. Throughout the entire process Victoria made herself easily available and made the planning process very stress free and enjoyable. In the months, days, and then hours leading up to and during our wedding, Victoria was there to answer all of our questions, provide guidance, and helped us navigate some of the smaller details and decisions. There was not a detail or question that Victoria did not prepare us for or have an answer to. Going into our wedding day I knew that I had absolutely nothing to worry about since everything was handled with such clear communication and professionalism. On the day of the event, I was confident that things would go smoothly and knew that we were in good hands with the amazing staff at Bill Millers. However, I did not expect to see them in person and have them be as available as they were throughout the day of our wedding. My husband and I have been joking for the past week about how whenever even the slightest thought popped into our head (a quick question, a request for something, a need for a snack or a beer, etc) that one of the BMC staff amazingly just appeared and was there to help immediately. It was as if they knew exactly when to pop in with absolute perfect timing. The location and building is truly magical. The staff are so helpful and pleasant. We loved the family aspect of this venue and felt that they immediately accepted and treated us as if we were one of their family members as well. My husband and I obviously knew that this was one of the most important days in our lives, but each and every staff member at Bill Miller's Castle also felt and treated our wedding day with the same level of importance. I can not speak highly enough about our experience at Bill Miller's Castle and I cannot recommend this venue enough!

was PERFECT!!!! Not only was the venue absolutely amazing, but so was the service. Victoria ran the day better than i could have ever imagined with the help from her sister Christina. I felt so comfortable with them and i knew everything was going to be perfect and that it was. The food was incredible. The BEST chicken parm i have ever eaten. I wish i could go back in time and repeat the day over and over. It has been one month since my wedding day and EVERYONE is still talking about it. I have friends that live out of state and recently got engaged and wished they lived closer to have their wedding at Bill Millers. Thank you Victoria for the best service and wedding day a girl could ask for. Bill Millers is top notch!!!! I couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else. Check it out, you will not be disappointed!!!

he entire process, always quick to respond to questions and always available to help and offer advice. My wedding day was flawless and I attribute that to Victoria and her staff. I HIGHLY recommend this venue if you want a stress free, beautiful wedding. You will not regret booking with them!

reached out to us and said it was the best wedding they have been to in a while! Second, we couldn’t have done it without Victoria! She was such a huge part of our wedding process and she kept us all calm through it all. Her and her sister sat with us for hours and answered any questions our families had. She was also there any time I called and needed advice or a question answered. The day of our wedding, she kept me calm and helped us with anything we needed to do! She is honestly the best! Lastly, besides the amazing staff, the castle at night made our pictures AMAZING!!!! The castle at night was literally the coolest thing I have ever seen. Our pictures are wonderful. We HIGHLY recommend Bill Millers Castle. You will be so happy!!!!! I love it!!!

the moment we walked into the castle a year before our wedding, right up until our last dance, Victoria was personable, attentive, detail oriented, and went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was flawless. Having 8 bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen was no challenge for Victoria. Her ability to multitask and keep us organized when needed was more than appreciated. On top of this, I had numerous guests tell me that the food at the wedding was some of the “best food” they’ve ever had. Looking back at our wedding day and replaying it in my head (which I’ve been doing often) I can honestly say there is not one single regret. So thank you Bill Miller’s Castle, their staff, and especially Victoria, for making our dream wedding come true!!!

ful to our guests. If you are thinking about this venue for your wedding or event I highly recommend it!

other venues we looked at could not offer us nearly as much at Bill Miller's (BMC). We would have had to do top-to-bottom decoration at any more barn-like venue and I was not prepared to deal with that. At BMC, you can do as much or as little decorating as you want. If you want to just do simple centerpieces and literally nothing else, none of your guests would question it. The staff at BMC is amazing. Everyone we worked with was so nice and just fully supportive. They were not salesmen-like while we were booking things, they were honest about what we should do and what we didn't really need. We were always able to communicate with them, and they were happily able to accommodate multiple tours for us which really helped put me at ease. On the day-of they helped everything run smoothly and I was so thankful for them all. I got ready at the Castle, had my ceremony and reception there and I am so glad we got to stay there all day. It was a wonderful experience. The food is provided by La Luna Restaurant, and they offered a wonderful group tasting session before the wedding. The food was fabulous, many of our guests commented about that. Again the staff was wonderful about food - making sure my husband and I had everything we needed while we took photos before dinner, and then bringing us generous plates of food for dinner. They even packed up a ton of leftovers for us to take on our honeymoon because we were only going locally. I can't say anything bad about this place or the people - I highly recommend this beautiful, unique venue.

coordinated my event, because I think the space speaks for itself. I went into thinking that planning my wedding was going to be one big logistical complication because I did most of it from the west coast, so I was shocked when this turned out to be totally false. I did most of my initial communication and planning with Lisa who could not have been more accommodating. She was quick to respond to every phone call and email, and provided us with plenty of details and photographs to answer any question we had. Her knowledge of local vendors made our decision-making very easy when it came to florals and the cake (decisions that I've watched other engaged friends struggle through for months). Moreover, her knowledge of her own event space is what made our wedding seamless. She knew how best to set up our tables, how to plan the day-of, what information to give the vendors, what food selections would suit an event of our size, the list goes on and on. When the coordination of our event was turned over to Lisa's daughter Victoria only a month or so before our wedding (due to completely understandable personal reasons), I was a little worried that all of the work we'd done with Lisa would get lost in the transition. I was SO wrong. Lisa had taken fastidious notes on all of our preferences and ideas and had also thoroughly briefed Victoria on everything we'd talked about. Meeting Victoria for the first time in person a week before our wedding could not have gone smoother. She was up to date on everything and brought some amazing ideas to the table. It's not an exaggeration to say that our wedding day went seamlessly. Victoria was on top of EVERYTHING, but also had an extremely chilled attitude and demeanor - which was really comforting to me! She's also just really fun to be around so I loved when she'd pop in and out of the bridal suite to ask questions or get my input on something. She took care of any detail or snag that arose and coordinated all of the moving parts which was HUGE. I was completely stress free on the day of my wedding - a gift I will never be able to adequately express gratitude for. I love this venue and these women and cannot thank them enough. Choose this venue!!!!! You won't regret it.

articularly grateful, as they were so kind, understanding and patient with me and my family as we had lost my father a few weeks before the wedding. The day of the wedding Lisa and Victoria were so comforting during this difficult time. The wait staff and bartender were outstanding and I heard nothing but great things about them from family and friends after the wedding! My husband and I are so happy with our decision to have our wedding at Bill Millers Castle, and if given the option, I would do it all over again in a heart beat. So, THANK YOU Lisa, Victoria and the entire staff at Bill Millers Castle for making this one the best nights that we won’t ever forget!!

e sure everything went smoothly. It was perfect! This place really knows how to organize an event. They were always happy to help and they were there even when you didn't know you needed something (i.e. food, water, helping you with your dress, shoes). 10/10 recommend.

s to all of my ideas and being amenable to/ going above and beyond to meet the special needs of my family. Such a unique and beautiful venue that is run by a great family!

ay perfect. They were so helpful when we needed a last minute display for our desserts and had great insight on how to arrange our decorations. They made our wedding day stress free and didn't let us lift a finger! All of our guest can not stop talking about how perfect the night was from the food to the champagne towers and everything in between. Would highly recommend choosing Bill Miller's Castle for your wedding if you are looking for a unique venue with an amazing family run team behind it.

meal was hands down one of the best! The food was delicious, the fireplace was cozy and the staff were all smiling. Owner, Lisa and her daughter Victoria were a delight to work with and in my opinion should probably teach a course on how to run a successful, classy and beautiful wedding venue. For those of you contemplating a gorgeous rustic New England wedding ceremony and reception with exceptional service and food, look no further. EVERYONE will love all that Bill Miller's Castle has to offer!

rful venue for a tour until we drove off at the end of our wedding night. She listened to any request we had and made it happen. She was always there to respond to any emails, calls, or to set up a meeting to go over any details. In addition to the incredible attention we received, the venue is beautiful and there were a ton of places for great picture opportunities. To top it off, the food was amazing. We couldn’t have asked for anything more and would recommend Bill Miller’s Castle to everyone!

D a team of professionals to help you every step of the way. My husband and I were initially looking at non-traditional venue spaces but we quickly realized how much money, time, organization and resources we'd need to pull that off. Luckily we found Bill Miller's and it not only had the quirkiness we were looking for, but it came with Lisa Miller and a rich history of successful event coordination. Lisa was attentive, communicative, and professional throughout the planning. We didn't need to hire a wedding coordinator because Lisa was able to facilitate all our needs. On the wedding weekend, she led the rehearsal and on the day-of she took care of everything, things that two weeks later I'm just asking, "how did that get done?" At the end of the night, when my husband and I were finally crashing in our hotel room, we looked in a bag and found a stack of dinner and dessert leftovers in to-go containers. We were so busy we barely had time to eat during the wedding, so it meant a lot that Lisa and team did this for us. I can't say enough about their attention to detail! These are the things that really make the day a wonderful experience for you and your guests. I highly recommend Bill Miller's to anyone who wants a memorable, stress-free wedding.

historical decor but also allowing enough space for almost 200 guests to feel comfortable and not cramped. Furthermore, even though we did not hire a wedding planner, it felt as if we had one in Lisa Miller the coordinator at the venue. Both she and her daughter, Victoria, made the day run so smoothly and we are grateful for all of their hard work.

r venue that we saw even remotely compared to Bill Miller’s Castle. While we can’t say enough about the beauty, elegance, and grandness of the place itself, it is the family behind the place that truly made our day. Victoria is the granddaughter of the man that created the beauty that is the castle, and she is amazing! From the moment that we met her, Victoria treated us like family. She walked us through the castle and all we could do was marvel. Victoria was there every step of the way as we decided how we wanted our day to be. We wanted a memorial table for two very important people in our lives that couldn’t be with us and she made that happen. She answered every question that we had quickly and clearly. We knew that no matter what happened the day of the wedding that she would be there to make sure that everything went smoothly. My husband was concerned that he would not get to enjoy the cocktail hour foods (most of which were chosen with his specific tastes in mind), but we mentioned this to Victoria and she made sure that he had as much of the cocktail hour food as he wanted. He asked a server for some extra bit of one of the foods and she was back within moments with a plate full of the seafood that he wanted (way more than he expected when he asked). We have been told many times since the day of our wedding that this was the best wedding that people had been to and some of those people have been to a lot of weddings. The food from La Luna was amazing. Everyone loved it. Everyone loved the Castle. And we honestly can’t say enough how amazing Victoria was. She made sure that we ate, made sure we had water bottles while we were taking pictures out in the hot sun, and she made sure that we got out on the dance floor and enjoyed ourselves as well. She was there for anything and everything we needed and honestly, Victoria, her family, and the rest of the staff at Bill Miller’s Castle made our day perfect! We love Victoria and all of the Bill Miller family! They truly made us feel as though we were part of their family and we could not have asked for more. They went above and beyond anything that we could have imagined and we are so thankful for Victoria and Bill Miller’s Castle!

r service. The day went seamlessly with all aspects pertaining to the venue. The food was fabulous, the staff was amazing and the atmosphere was priceless. I was a true princess in my castle dancing the night away with my prince! Lisa is a BEAST at bustling a gown! She did it effortlessly and quickly and that was such a great help! Victoria made sure food and drinks were on deck for me and the groom at ALL times. They wrapped everything up for us at the end of the night and boxed up all of our stuff. They were so helpful and kind! Victoria even drove my husband and I to our hotel in her personal vehicle at the end of the night! Talk about top notch service! Bill Miller’s Castle is a beautiful, elegant, rustic, unique, Royal venue fit for a king and queen! I recommend this venue for anyone who wants the best service with the most awesome ambiance ! Thank you again to Lisa and Victoria and all of the staff at Bill Miller’s! -Christine and Ben Picard

compliments), and the cake was fantastic too. BMC & Victoria made my life easier, and I love them for it.

The family run venue, Lisa and her daughter Victoria, made us feel so comfortable, and I felt like I could put all my trust in them for my wedding day! There were SO MANY reasons why I ended up choosing Bill Miller’s Castle as my wedding venue; the option of having the ceremony inside or outside (rain or shine), the beautiful spacious bridal suite to get ready in, the large variety of menu packages, the whole layout of the venue itself, and the hospitality of the owners! Can I also tell you how well Lisa and Victoria have their work cut out for them?? The day of my wedding, the ceremony was planned to be outside, but it ended up raining just before the ceremony was about to start. Within 20 minutes, Lisa and her staff had set up chairs for all 150 of my guests, and no one could even tell this had been a last minute change! I cannot tell you how many compliments and raving reviews we got from our guests; saying how beautiful the venue was, how delicious the food tasted, how smoothly everything went, and even comments about how much fun the bartenders were!! I know we may be biased, but my husband and I, and our guests truly had the most incredible time at our wedding. I truly believe the day of my wedding could not have been anymore magical or AMAZING if it weren’t for Lisa and Victoria, and all of the Bill Miller’s staff. Bill Miller’s Castle is the perfect venue to start your own Happily Ever After!

n or shine. The food is amazing! And the service is outstanding!! Our wedding was truely a dream come true. Lisa and Victoria make it easy to plan with letting you know what you need and catering to any requests you have. They make you feel like a princess in the castle. They are so friendly and caring. I can't thank them enough. Being able to get ready, have the ceremony and reception all at the castle was such a time saver. I would highly recommend Bill Miller's Castle to anyone.

g day and AFTER she has been amazing! The venue speaks for itself but the staff is just as hospitable. I am in a similar field: event/food and bev management and I have to say I was beyond impressed with the level of service and attention provided to us (not just the bride and groom but our guests as well) The warmth of the staff adds such a great touch to your wedding day, the sincerity and kindness and overall authenticity of the staff are hard to find in wedding venues. The food was amazing, i asked to change some menu items and without hesitation Victoria helped deliver what we wanted. The chef did a great job executing! Thank you so much Bill Millers staff and special thank you to Victoria Smith! We are so blessed to have had the opportunity to have been married at Bill Millers Castle! Much Love Aamna and Chris Knight!

most down to earth duo (Lisa Miller and Victoria Smith) to sharing the moment with Victoria seconds before I walked down the aisle (to the motown classic "Stand By Me" accompanied by my dad sporting a hawaiian shirt) to say "I do!" we were treated with kindness, respect, and kept at ease with lighthearted humor to settle nerves on such an important day. The rustic, badass, open-spaced castle with endless angles to take the perfect selfie, is just scratching the surface of why this place is one-of-a-kind. The dance floor is big, and durable (which was extremely important to us twerkers of the world trying to go viral). The food? UNREAL. Lisa & staff make it a priority to ensure the selection is precisely what you are looking for. Now, I can't leave out the grand bridal suite- this room is fit for the most important pre-game of you and your maids' lives and created yet again the perfect space to spend the last minutes being a single lady. There is not enough room on this page to express how the seasoned wedding babes (Lisa and Victoria) provided us with the ideal service for our wedding. Where these women stand out is here: they leave the "saleswoman" crap in the parking lot and never try to lead you in a direction you're not comfortable going in. They are willing to truly listen to you, and help make the best day of your life. We will never forget the generosity and flexibility the BMC staff showed us and will continue to spread the word of how phenomenal our experience with them was. Do yourself a favor and at least reach out to Lisa Miller or any of the amazing BMC staff to book a tour. You will be treated as a friend, not a client - and for us, that made all of the difference. Love, Anna & Ryan Scott

ughter of the late, great famous New Haven performer, is wonderful, strike that she's MAGIC. I don't think she actually knows the word "no" which made our life and my planning very simple. I lived abroad and it was very important to me to have handmade pasta from my home in Italy, next I feel in love with a salad and dressing that I had once tasted in Washington, D.C. made by a White House chef, I was marrying into a big Italian family with aunts who wanted to make traditional cookies for desert, and finally to top it off limoncello is an end-of-meal must. One by one I asked if I could incorporate these items, which were not on the menu, and the only response I ever got was "Yes!" Look if you're looking for a cookie cutter wedding they can do it but you are going to miss out on all the fun. My friend John DePuma, DePuma Pasta, made the Casoncelli(pasta) recipe and the Bill Millers chef was really excited to make something perfected the salad&dressing. Now I'm sure you're thinking what was the cost - there's always an adder right? Not here - a Bill Millers - you're family. And your special day is going to be SPECIAL because they want to make your dreams come true. Everything I asked for - it was as if Victoria had a magic wand - on the day of everything was perfect. We (and by we I mean now husband) did a Game of Thrones theme- yes we did. This place was perfect, the look, the feel and they have everything else in "the closet" no joke, golden chargers to dress up the plates, lanterns for every table, and swords. Our wedding day was the hottest day in July 2016 - I arrived late, as a bride should, in my defense I got a flat tire on the way, true story. I walked in already sweating and Victoria greeted me smiling with ice cold water and the AC turned up high. They explained if there was thunder storms or 90 degree heat we could do the ceremony inside and it would still be great. That afternoon the weather gods were in our favor (I also credit Victoria for this) so we went outside. Ladies GO WITH THE SUITE- do yourself the favor and get ready there- there is a spot for multiple hair and make artists- just get ready there its so much fun and it really gets you into the spirit. Plus there's a second room for the men to get ready with their own bathroom. The ceremony was perfect, the sunset is right behind the trees and cools off the seating outside. Thirty minutes later we were hitched and taking pictures. I strongly recommend you get a good photographer- We used Brian Hayley & Boris- there are so many cool spots for photos and these guys found them. But Victoria (and Lisa) literally keep everything moving -that's a skill- on your wedding day just know when things go perfectly at Bill Millers its because they are experts, and they care about you and your guests and making a perfect wedding is not about a paycheck , at Bill Millers its their passion. THEY DO EVERYTHING - shuttle, check, flowers, cake, highchairs - check, check, check! By the end of the night we said goodbye and passed out tips/thank you notes- my mom handed Victoria a giftbox, a bracelet hand made by our family jeweler. Traditionally, a gift reserved for family only, Bill Millers is now part of our family forever. Thank you

ey enjoyed the food (we did a buffet) and the ambiance of the place. So many people have told us it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to! It rained on our wedding day so we ended up having the ceremony inside, but with the lit fireplace, it was cozy and romantic. I also loved how we were able to request certain draft beers - not many venues allow that option. The pricing was also very reasonable and we wouldn't change a single thing about that night! If you're looking for a wedding venue, I highly recommend checking Bill Miller's Castle out!

or our menu. The staff at Bill Miller's treated us as family from start to finish. Victoria was there for us every step of the way... and for a bride planning her wedding, this was so important. Victoria and Lisa were so attentive the day of our wedding... fixing my hair and makeup for me, carrying my train, making sure our kids were smiling for photos- Victoria even carried our youngest, cranky son into our reception when he wouldn't walk out during introductions! They went so above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. And the beauty of the castle is breathtaking! I went to a bridal fair at the castle and immediately booked our wedding the following week- I didn't even look at another venue and it was the best decision I ever made. HIGHLY recommend for any future Mr & Mrs. Our wedding day was simply amazing, thanks to the Castle.

AZING food from La Luna! Everyone who attended the wedding says that our special day was the best wedding they have been to!:-) Cheri, Lisa, and Victoria and the rest of the team made sure our day was nothing but the best, if we had to do it all over again, i wouldn't change a thing! My husband and I are beyond happy to be a part of the Bill Miller's family now!

helping find our rehearsal dinner venue, and so so much more, these ladies work extremely well together and there is no doubt in my mind that they love (and are extremely good at) their job. Even though our ceremony had to be inside due to a hurricane (I didn't pay the hurricane deposit..haha), everything was gorgeous and I loved every minute. Victoria went above and beyond when a member of my bridal party needed to go to the hospital, she went and picked her up and helped to make sure she was okay throughout the evening. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful and unique the castle is and that is exactly what we wanted when we booked our wedding here. Delicious food, friendly and helpful staff and an absolutely stunning venue. There aren't enough thank-you's to go around!! - Christina

ke I was being annoying sending 500 emails and asking last minute questions. Cheri was patient and respectful, always. From the moment my husband and I walked into this venue, we knew this was the one. It was the first and last one we looked at, we fell in love immediately. Victoria helped me the day of the wedding and again, she was absolutely amazing and helpful in every way. I don't even think I left the bridal suite once because I knew that she had everything under control. Many of our guests said this was the most unique venue they had ever been too, the best food, the most fun, the compliments never stopped and it was all thanks to Bill Miller's. Everyone from the bartenders to the wait staff had smiles on their faces the entire time and would bring my husband and I food/drinks without us even having to ask. We could not have asked for a more perfect venue and staff. THANK YOU Cheri, Victoria, and ALL of Bill Miller's Staff for making our wedding the most amazing day ever!!

just gorgeous and very unique. Victoria and Lisa, the wedding coordinators at Bill Miller's, were absolutely amazing. They listened to what we wanted, helped us put the event together, and made the whole process fun and memorable. They were flexible and helpful and truly went above and beyond to make sure that we had the perfect day. Our outside caterer went incommunicado an hour before the wedding & we couldn't reach him... they were over an hour late and no sign/word... Victoria and Lisa swung into action and took care of everything. While we were having our family photos done, they organized last minute passed hors d'oeuvres, cheeseboards, and drinks, while gearing up to be ready to serve dinner too if needed. Our guests never even realized that anything was wrong! When the caterers (that we chose!!) finally did show up, Victoria and Lisa handled the whole setup without a hitch. They got dinner served in record time and our guests raved about how good the food was. We truly could not have done it without them. Great place, great atmosphere, truly incredible staff.

eral, which we greatly appreciated. The castle was absolutely beautiful, and all of our guests raved about how unique our wedding was. The food was amazing and the portions were huge, no one left hungry. My husband and I are looking forward to returning for another one of the events they host, such as Valentine's Day or New Year's Eve.

ee. We couldn't have asked for anything more. I would recommend to everyone!

zing. The décor was gorgeous. Every single person in that building had a smile on their face. I am still getting compliments to this day on our wedding. Thank you Lisa and Bill Miller's Castle for making our day as special as it could be.

ork with. On our wedding day Victoria was absolutely amazing with helping out and making sure that all of our needs were taken care of. Our wedding day was beautiful and everyone couldn't say enough about how amazing the building was, how pleasant the staff was, and how delicious the food was. A couple more things, the new bridal suite for the bridal party to get ready is worth it! The food was great and they even packaged the extra for us, which came in handy later that night. We had such a great time and didn't worry at all on our wedding and I just cant say enough about how excellent everything from decor, food, staff, ect. was. If you are looking for a unique wedding venue this is it! Thank you Bill Millers Castle for a perfect wedding day to remember!

here the girls all got ready the morning of. The food from La Luna Catering was delicious! The best part of Bill Miller's Castle, aside from how beautiful of a venue it is, is the amazing staff. Cheri and Victoria did everything to make sure our day was perfect from start to finish. They took care of all the smaller details I hadn't even thought of, made sure to have my wine and handed me a glass during cocktail hour. Any time we were up from our seats during dinner, they were checking to see if they could get anything for us. They even offered our guests the same treatment to make sure they didn't need help with anything. They deserve every star for their hard work and amazing locale. I would recommend this venue to everyone!!

a-kind venue with true professionals who know how to help you throw an amazing party.

een there before or seen a place quite like it. From The high beamed ceilings, to the chandeliers, to the fireplaces, to the tall windows behind the King and Queen's thrones... it really is something out of a Fairytale. Some complaints that I would have are that it did turn out to be pricier than initially thought because they nickel and dime you for lots of little things, like uplighting, venue fee, gratuities, microphones/podiums, renting certain decorations, different tablecloth and napkin colors etc. Also, I had a lot of questions early on and I was told by the coordinator that I had plenty of time later for those questions.. but I just wanted to know how to plan! believe me I was no Bridezilla!

out, and there is something visually interesting everywhere you look! Besides being beautiful and unique, the staff at Bill Miller's was also a pleasure to work with. Our day of coordinator, Lisa, was helpful, friendly, and responsive throughout the entire process and did everything that she could to ensure that our wedding ran smoothly. Every last person that we worked with there, from the owners, to the waitstaff, to the bartender (sooo friendly... she remembered my drink order every single time I went up there!!) was awesome to work with. We didn't have a florist to set up our centerpieces and decorations for us, and the staff at Bill Miller's volunteered to take on the job and did so exactly how I wanted. They even brought out some of their own decorations that fit my theme and everything looked even better than I imagined. My fiance and I were really so happy with how everything turned out and our guests raved about how beautiful Bill Miller's is (the venue was probably the top compliment we received on our wedding). Good food, gorgeous venue, kind, friendly, helpful, accommodating staff....there really was nothing not to like about Bill Miller's. Highly Recommended and we look forward to returning someday for one of your other events!!

any made us feel like family from day 1. They made our guests feel like they were family. From the get go we felt like we were in good hands, and as far as the venue was concerned, there would be nothing to worry about on our big day. We knew the second we sat down to talk with Lisa in the "pub" area that this was the place for us, and we would make the same choice 1000 times over if we could.

uine people in the wedding business. They went the extra mile to make my wedding a dream come true. The venue is always gorgeous, but it was even more romantic and magical at night. The food was amazing! All of my guests raved about it even weeks after the wedding. If you want a romantic, unique, fairy tale wedding then this is definitely the right place to start your happily ever after!!!!

ul. She was exceptionally communicative- answered any questions I had quickly and completely. She knows what she’s doing, and she guided me through my day expertly- I was completely at ease and able to enjoy every detail. She also managed to orchestrate two huge surprises that took place during our reception without issue (there was a flash mob and then a surprise musical performance- and it all went off without a hitch). The food was amazing- I did a stationed buffet and added a mashed potato bar, which was a huge hit with my guests. Everyone told me I wouldn’t get to eat on my wedding day, but Lisa and her team ensured that the wedding party got plenty of apps during the cocktail hour and that my husband and I were able to enjoy our dinners. All of the servers were courteous and professional, and took great care of us. They treated us like family! Another thing I must mention- I opted to rent the new large bridal suite to get ready and take photos in, and I think it really made the day that much better. The room was beautiful and yielded stunning photos, plus my girls and I had plenty of room to get ready in. It was well worth the extra money. I just can’t say enough how happy I am with how everything went.

vres was exceptionally delicious.Overall,phenomenal place to get married.

lk in peace, spacious dance floor for the party people, a lovely deck outside for those who want fresh air... We have so many different personalities in both of our families, and everyone had a great time! Lisa made the wedding planning part so easy and fun too, couldn't have done it without her. The food is to die for too by the way! Would totally recommend to anyone!!

. From outside under the tree to inside by the fireplace upstairs or downstairs inside or out! Their is no cookie cutter style and get to make your wedding your own!! Not to mention to have it all in one place is so convenient for your guests! Lisa and Victoria really made sure everything was perfect. From the set up of decorations and place cards to allowing my bridesmaids to drop off the dresses and providing direction for the band set up. All I had to worry about was dropping the decoration stuff off the day before and getting my hair and makeup done. I was relived to not have to delegate jobs to family when they needed time to get ready! Most exciting was when I arrived at ceremony everything was as I hoped for and it was all absolutely perfect! We were never without a drink in hand or wondering what was next. Lisa got a hold of me (as the bride your floating from table to table all night) and let me know what was next. It truly was stress free! My guests are still talking about the venue being so perfect. The price was perfect too match. I felt is was very reasonable for the amount of space you get, food being incredible and a personal wedding coordinator! The dance floor is huge and their are so many nooks for great photos. The entire space is lighted beautifully and you can change the colors behind the bride groom table. The staff is all very friendly and accommodating as well. If your considering this space...go for it! You will not be disappointed at all. Mr. Bill Miller himself has left a incredible legacy to his family. The castle is a collection of antiques and rustic repurposed items from around CT. Lights outside are from the Merritt Parkway while the black iron inside from the good speed opera house and some windows from Yale! I loved this part. There is so much dark wood and grey tone stone it makes a magnificent place! Great for the lace/burlap theme! They decorate each season and honestly you could leave the tables bare and the place is gorgeous! This is the place for a picture perfect tailored wedding and stress free forever remembered important day!!

ps. They now have a HUGE bridal suite that can be rented to get ready in. So amazing! It is bigger than my apartment. It is gorgeous and made my day so nice and much simpler. There's also a second suite which is a great place for the guys to get ready! Lisa Miller and her daughter Victoria were amazing. Lisa was very responsive to all of my questions and gave me reassurance the whole way. She guided me through the whole process....even helped with decorating ideas- and made sure all my centerpieces/decor were out just the way I wanted. Her daughter Victoria is so sweet....and made us all feel so comfortable. She even helped me to fix my sweaty hair after some crazy dancing! I cannot say enough about how amazing Bill Miller's Castle was! The dance floor was huge, the lighting was perfect....and our wedding was absolutely as beautiful and wonderful as I could have ever hoped for!!!!

ristmas party at Bill Miller's the night of our wedding. We didn't have to worry about anything Victoria and Lisa took such great care of us. They let us do everything we wanted and didn't have extra fees when we asked to do something. The food was amazing too... My husband and I ate at our own wedding. The staff was amazing. We and our guests enjoyed every second of our wedding!

ry professional and accommodating in every way. What a fantastic time was had by all. Thank you so much!!

zing! They have great service and great ambiance. I had my wedding ceremony outside on the new patio and even got ready in the Bridal suite beforehand. The reception followed and everything was perfect. There was not one moment that I felt like I was stressed or had to worry. To the staff at Bill Miller's Castle and all the vendors who worked my wedding - THANKS FOR MAKING IT THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!

n't being cooked and transported from a restaurant to the site. All of our guests had a great time and raved about how beautiful the castle is and how great the food was.

kes it even better!

as very good, the default chairs are beautiful. I'm just so satisfied with how our wedding turned out. The whole staff made sure my husband and I were taken care of the entire time. I would not have changed a thing about the venue.

t of our lives! The food from La Luna is AMAZING and I got nothing but compliments from friends and family. The venue is so beautiful, inside and out. It was the 1st and only place we looked at in person and we were smitten as soon as we arrived in the parking lot. I would HIGHLY recommend having your event at this venue. They are wonderful people with a great sense of how to run an event and you will not be disappointed!!! Thank you Lisa and staff for a WONDERFUL day!!!! -Kimberly & Eric Davis

She was willing to work with me, my dream and my budget. I spent a little more than I originally planned and do not regret a penny. If I had gone with my first plan I would have not felt nearly as happy as I did on our big day. The staff was so helpful. Lisa took control of the situation and served as my wedding planner for the day of the wedding to make sure everything happened as planned and on time. She took extra time with us leading up to the big day to make sure everything was perfect. She and her daughter, Victoria, were helpful and just a dream to work with. The food was amazing! Everyone at the wedding raved about it and La Luna earned themselves some new customers that day. I would, and have, suggest this amazing venue to anyone and everyone. Not just for a wedding but for any occasion. Everywhere we went on the property was an opportunity for another great photo. It is just gorgeous! We plan to go back on special occasions for their holiday meals as well! Thank you so much to Lisa and Victoria and all of the staff at Bill Miller's Castle!

ere because I would love to be able to attend another event at the castle!

rs are willing to work with you and make your vision become a reality.

. There was already a wedding booked for the afternoon of our intended date, but we were told, since our ceremony was so small (less than 25 people total) we could do it earlier in the day, for an hour and a half. For this ceremony the fee would be $500, we agreed, and then came in to sign the paperwork. Not only did the $500 turn into nearly $900, with the $150 photo fee, and the 20% Venue fee (which isn't it all for the venue since only the ceremony was there), even though we told them several times, we would be getting ready elsewhere but I would be putting on my gown there (since I lived 40 min away) she was dismayed that I didn't arrive dressed, as they didn't expect me to need the brides room. She rushed me to my ceremony, and snapped rudely at my 4 year old daughter. We also couldn't take all the pictures she originally said we could, because the areas were already blocked off for the other wedding. It was obvious they didn't care about my ceremony, only the money they could get from it. I'm sure this is different for larger weddings, but if they are uncomfortable taking smaller ceremonies, she shouldn't have offered/accepted. And for $850 for an hour and a half of their time, I would expect better treatment.

well. My only negative is that the coordinator kept coming to me with problems throughout the ceremony. I figured it was one night where petty things shouldn't be brought to me. Overall though, great place.

ood for everyone’s first serving at the table and the platters weren’t refilled. Guests also commented how slow the service was. The owner told us the wrong menu line up so our menu cards were not accurate to how the courses were served. Thankfully, the night of our rehearsal, I noticed how filthy all of the champagne glasses were on the tables set for our wedding and had to demand they be rewashed. How could they set 100+ seats and not notice this? Owners/ managers, while nice, are not particularly focused on the details of your wedding. We paid $95 per person plus tax, an 18% service charge and tip.

e, which included linens, the bridal suite to get ready in, cocktail hour, open bar all night, a pasta course, salad course, and main course. The food was AMAZING....from the cocktail hour to the dessert. It is catered by La Luna, and it was phenomenal. Everything is made right there, in the kitchen in the castle, so it is super fresh. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food. The drinks were well made and strong, and the castle itself is just such a unique venue. After our guests congratulated us, their next comment was "this place is awesome! How on earth did you find it?!" Working with Cheri in the months before the wedding was great. She answered all of my emails very promptly, and was very flexible with all of my requests and questions. They basically let you customize and decorate however you would like, however there actually isn't much to do considering the place is already very heavily decorated and ready to go at a moments notice. They have 4 different places in which to have your ceremony; Outside on the deck / gazebo, outside on the grass, inside by the 3 story fireplace, or inside upstairs in a beautiful room with stained glass, lots of windows, etc...we decided on the grass location and it was beautiful. The night of the wedding, Cheri, Lisa, and Sue catered to our every need, and were SO helpful with any questions we had. Lisa brought over a bottle of Champagne for the two of us. So unexpected and nice of her! Cheri had everything so perfectly orchestrated from the ceremony to the introductions to the very end of the night. I also loved everything that the per person rate included. There weren't any sneaky variables to worry about, such amount of alcohol consumed, etc...they even saved the remainder of our signature drink for us and gave it to us the next day when we went to pick everything up! They really go above and beyond at this venue. If I had to do it all over again, I would do it the exact same way....at Bill Miller's!!

The Miller family was so helpful and friendly and they really helped to make our dream wedding a reality!

fireplaces is perfect for a romantic wedding ceremony and reception. I can't rave enough about the value we received for our money. I would recommend this venue to any bride who is looking for a wedding venue with charm and class and wants something other than a cookie cutter wedding hall.

e whole process. La Luna, who caters, has the most delicious food and was also great to work with. Highly recommend!

ing us about the food because "I have never had wedding food that was so good". The food was amazing and I know for what little I ate, I enjoyed every bite! The bridal suite could use some updating but was a nice area to enjoy getting ready before the big event. We love the pictures of our special day and have been so amazingly happy with our selection. Bill Miller's Castle is the right place to have your wedding if you are looking for a beautiful atmosphere that is different and unforgetable!

ny. Since it ended up raining on our day, we were inside. The indoor ceremony was held on the dance floor in front of a fireplace (with a fire)! The food (catered by La Luna restaurant) was delicious - everyone raved about it. The Venetian table (came with our package) was impressive and delicious as well. The drinks were small and a little weak, but it was open bar, so just go back up. Cheri, the wedding coordinator, was very helpful and easily reached by email and prompt to respond. The place is beautiful and easy to get to. The negatives: if you do have your ceremony outside, I'm not sure how much traffic from the road you will hear. We were inside for everything, so it wasn't a big deal for us. The DJ couldn't hook up to their sound system, so for introductions, etc., he had to stand far away from the speakers and hope that the sound travels (it did, but just something to be aware of). The only hotel in the area is a Holiday Inn Express, and they were awful to work with (this is no fault of Bill Miller's; just something to be aware of also). The food didn't all come out at the same time. The head table and first few tables were served, but tables 10-16 hadn't gotten food by the time the earlier tables were finished.

talled or redone. But the Castle is beautiful in and of itself. It is truly a unique place to have your wedding-even the history behind the Castle. All of my guests were impressed and so happy! The caterer that the Castle uses,La Luna Restaurant, did a great job on the food, and the Venetian table was AMAZING--much better than I had even hoped or anticipated. Many of my guests commented on how exceptional the entrees were considering that wedding food is usually mediocre. I rated service only slightly below, as the dinner was delayed, and there were a couple of things that went amiss. However, all in all, Bill Miller's is a great success!
