Champion Mill/Spooky Nook was a beautiful venue for our September wedding. We used two of the event rooms that overlooked the river and had our cocktail hour in the mezzanine area....
We loved the aesthetic of the building and the giant windows. Marla was great to work with for nailing down every detail of the day. We also had many out of town guests who stayed at the hotel which was a great setup.
There are a lot of things that can be added on to the wedding package, which is great to have so many options to create the day you want, but it can get pricey. You cannot bring in any food or drink of your own at all (even during the day while getting ready in the suite).
