Empire Mills is a hidden gem in Madison, GA and the location of my son's rehearsal dinner & wedding. Family & guests had a FANTASTIC time celebrating his wedding! From the Rehearsal Dinner to the Wedding itself, we heard nothing but amazing comments from the guests regarding the food, venue, & STAFF! Everything came out better than I could have imagined, and the Empire Mills staff knocked it out of the park! As the mother of the groom, I still find myself basking in the glow of an event where every detail was handled with upmost care. I HIGHLY recommend Empire Mills!
Empire Mills was the PERFECT venue for our wedding! Everything from the bridal suite and grooms lounge for getting ready to Marsden Hall and the Grande Hall made for the most beautiful day (even if it did rain). Their attention to detail does not go unnoticed and everyone who attended our wedding had an absolute blast!
Empire Mills is the most beautiful wedding venue I have ever seen! I had looked at so many before choosing here. Not only is the venue stunning, but the staff is amazing to work with! Kathleen is so detail oriented and responsive that I didn't have any stress while planning! Hallie Jane's food was the hit of the wedding and people are still talking about how delicious it was! I am forever grateful for Empire Mills making our day better than we could have ever imagined! I wish we could do it all over again! I highly recommend to all brides!!
Empire Mills was the most amazing venue ever!! The staff is wonderful and the details in this venue are just perfect. I would 1,000% recommend this venue!
LOVE this venue! It is not only gorgeous, but the flow for guest management is open and easy. Not only do they have numerous decor rentals to choose from, they have an in-house catering team that is absolutely incredible. Their event staff is always helpful and makes my job as a wedding planner so enjoyable when I'm there-they handle the heavy lifting so I can focus on perfecting the details for my couple! I always get excited when one of my couples say their venue is Empire Mills. If you are in the market for a venue - submit an inquiry now!
Beautiful venue, and absolutely amazing place to be married. My guests loved the various rooms and spaces. The unique/eclectic atmosphere was perfect for my winter wedding. The staff was outstanding and the space was plenty big enough!
You can't beat the beauty with the exposed brick and lighting. I would totally recommend
Empire Mills has the best staff ever!!! The venue is hands down beautiful! However, the event staff made our day great! They were so helpful and kind.
The food was out of this world, our guest were calling the next day to see if we had any leftovers!
If we had a chance to go back and do anything differently, we would not change a thing about our venue.
Beautiful venue!! Everything about our day flowed wonderfully. So many places on the property for pictures and the need for decorations was very minimal with how beautifully they've restored the property. Wouldn't want to cover up the natural beauty of the brick and exposed steel work! I would recommend this venue to anyone in a heartbeat!
