Look no further than Bill Miller’s Castle! My husband and I just got married there two weeks ago and my only regret is that I can’t find the words to appropriately thank Lisa and her daughter, Victoria, enough for making our big day PERFECT in ...
every way! From the moment we walked in the front door for the first time, I got the “this is it” feeling and knew we found our place. I can’t imagine working with a more pleasant and accommodating coordinator than Lisa. Truly, there wasn’t anything she couldn’t do! On our wedding day, she and Victoria did not let me lift a finger – they had everything covered and the day and night was flawless! My family, my husband and I will never forget what a great feeling it was knowing that our big day was in such good hands from day one. The grounds and the castle itself are absolutely stunning – a photographer’s dream with so many beautiful backdrops inside and out. We loved how spacious it was – huge dance floor, lovely outdoor patio and gazebo, large bar room and a bridal suite to die for! Our guests are still raving about Bill Miller’s Castle and I’ll be recommending it every chance I get. Our videographer even said “Bill Miller’s is one of our favorite venues now!” To Lisa, Victoria, the Bill Miller’s staff and La Luna catering – thank you for going above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was everything we hoped and more! You are the best of the best!

My husband and I didn't have to stress on the big day because they were on top of everything. They have thought of everything when it comes to the big and small details. The venue is also unique and beautiful and the food was delicious! My bridesmaids and I had so much fun getting ready in the unique bridal suite and the outdoor setting for the ceremony was so beautiful. I could go on and on. We are thrilled that we decided to go with Bill Millers Castle for our wedding and would highly recommend this venue!

Have questions about timing? Contact Lisa! Bill Millers Castle is the reason our wedding was a DREAM. You are taken care of all day and night.

Mary is a dream to work with, hilarious, professional, and made this confusing wedding planning process easy. She was by my side and on my team the entire wedding day. Victoria helped organize our guests/the day and checked in on us to make sure we were eating (very important). They ensured our vendors were sticking to the timeline WE wanted as the bride and groom and were a dream to work with. The food was outstanding, even better than it had been at the tasting. Our signature cocktails were some of the tastiest drinks we've had. The building is stunning inside and out. When I say this venue delivered, I mean it. Above and beyond is an understatement. I cannot speak highly enough about this venue and the people who played such an integral role in making the wedding day run smoothly.

This is a family business and it shows because they will treat your wedding like you are their family.

h ease! Many of our guests have gone out of their way to also share what a great time they had. They loved the food and the entire atmosphere. What we loved the most: The layout of the venue - the way the rooms flowed together allowed for it to feel like one large party while also having space for guests to socialize. The space felt spacious while also cozy. There were distinct areas for cocktail hour, the bar, the dinner tables, etc., but it didn't feel choppy. The ceremony space - the outdoor option was perfect but the indoor option was also great if weather required. The indoor option allowed enough space for all guests to be seated while also preventing guests from seeing the main reception area until ready to be revealed. The bridal suite - perfect for hair/makeup and spending the day. Super spacious! The team - they took care of all details we hadn't even thought of (i.e. putting a full plate of hors d'oeuvres in the bridal suite for to munch on as my dress was being bustled). They went the extra mile to make us feel special (i.e. holding 2 glasses of champagne at the end of the aisle to start the party right away!). The overall feel of the space - the antique and rustic vibe. We didn't need to go crazy filling the space with decor because it felt warm and inviting as it was. The seasonal decor used was appropriate and not over the top. The ability to make the day personal to us - the team allowed us to bring in our favorite late night snack and dessert options. Understanding around Covid limitations - Mary and her team were human about how difficult it is to plan and have a wedding in a pandemic. They understood and were flexible where they were able to be. What we wish they had: A full catalog of all of the extras they can provide to rent - they have some extra decor that we were unaware of unless we specifically mentioned (i.e. wine barrels for outdoors). Overall, our day was incredible and we couldn't be happier that we chose Bill Miller's Castle as our wedding venue. Our guests had the best time right along with us!

top of its unique charm and gorgeous interior and exterior, it offered on stop shop! Almost everything can be provided or rented through them! As a couple with two full time careers and a young daughter this was huge for us! I have to mention how gorgeous the rainy day option is. We really wanted to not have to worry about the weather considering anything can happen in New England. The outside garden is lovely and we are so thankful we had a sunny day, but if it was raining the indoor ceremony option was just as nice. Victoria was our wedding coordinator and was a champ through out the planning process; which included helping us get through delaying the wedding a year due to Covid. She made everything stress free and answered our many questions promptly and with patience. I cannot thank her enough for her help! The bridal suite is one of the amazing selling points for this place! Its absolutely worth the small up charge to be in one location with your ladies all day while everything gets set up around you. There was plenty of space for 2 hair stylists, 1 make up artist, 2 moms, 6 bridesmaids, 2 flower girls, and my daughter to all get ready! The food was amazing!! Everyone raved about it! We did buffet style and had the mashed potato bar which was a hit! And the lovely staff made sure the groom and I sat to eat which is often something that gets missed. I wouldn't do anything different. The day went perfectly and smoothly and that is no doubt due to Victoria and her teams effort! Even as my cake almost collapsed, Victoria and the staff was able to swiftly take care of it and save everyone's dessert!

They all loved the unique ambiance at the castle, with something cool to find in every corner of the space.

I cannot even begin to describe how amazing Bill Miller's Castle and all of their staff are (and I sure don't think that I could do it in just 3500 words)! We just got married at the castle this past weekend on 10.19.19. My fiancé and I have be...
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!

I had my wedding here at Bill Millers Castle. When i was searching for a venue i came across Bill Millers and it was the first one my husband and i looked at and we booked it that same day. We didn’t even bother to look anywhere else because it...
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!!!

There are no words to express how grateful we are to have been able to get married at Bill Miller’s castle. Not only is the venue absolutely perfect, but Victoria and her family didn’t miss a beat. Victoria is a dream wedding coordinator. From ...
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.

Bill Miller's was the first venue we looked at and immediately we both knew this could be the place. The only reason we kept looking was that it wasn't exactly what we originally had pictured - we wanted more of a barn-style venue. However, the...
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.

Bill Miller's Castle and the two amazing women behind the scenes - Lisa and Victoria - made my wedding day so much better than I could have ever imagined. I'm going to focus this review on Lisa and Victoria, the mother daughter duo that ran and...
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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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!!

Bill Miller's Castle was the perfect place for our wedding. We were looking for something a little different - not the typical "cookie cutter" wedding - something that truly reflected who we are, and the type of wedding we wanted. The space is ...
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.

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.

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.

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!

Due to some unfortunate circumstances with our original location, I had to completely replan my wedding 3 months prior to the ceremony. I contacted Bill Miller's Castle to see if we could have our ceremony there, as the venue is truly beautiful...
. 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.

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 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.
