About this vendor
Where your stories become historic...
The Roswell Mill is a unique and cherished piece of Southern history. Originally built by Roswell King, it was destroyed in the Civil War and rebuilt in 1882. We are proud to have been a part of bringing the Mill back to life in 1991 as a special events facility, now famously known as, Ivy Hall.

Overlooking Vickery Creek, the courtyard is the perfect space for an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. Complete with outdoor furnishings such as sofas, park benches, trees, and fairy lights.
The wonderful food and beverage is provided by our own in-house company, Events Catering. We offer a range of food options and are happy to create a menu just for you! We host client receptions throughout the year so that you may experience our food and service, meet our senior staff, and ask questions before you pick your menu.

Events Catering has been our venue of choice for several years. Their professionalism and willingness to accommodate our requests has been exemplary. The venue is absolutely beautiful and the food is very elegantly displayed. The countless options for food combinations makes it easy to satisfy all guests.
Jacob and his team were exceptional to work with every step of the way. They delivered on every promise! The food, the service, the venue and the staff were beyond our expectations (which were very high!). We loved every minute! If you want an exceptional wedding experience, Ivy Hall is the place to be!
Cannot say enough words of EXCELLENCE about our experience with Ivy Hall. From the moment I spoke with, and then we met with, Jacob, it was as seamless, personalized, perfect, beautiful and FUN as imaginable! From the beginning Jacob listened and made the vision of the Bride & Groom come to life. His guidance every step of the way made it all flow to perfection on the day of!!! Taking care of all the personalized add-ons without batting an eye! He also worked (unbeknown to us) with the Maid of Honor in the timing of a special surprise guest - Blooper!
So many of our (mother & father of the bride) friends reached out to us for weeks after the wedding saying it was the best reception they had ever attended. With over 200 I don't think more than 6 left before it ended!
I cannot speak highly enough of our ENTIRE experience with Ivy Hall - my only regret is that we can't do it all again!!!
Any questions?
We had the best experience at Ivy Hall. All of the staff are kind and flexible and made our day so special. And it is beautiful!!
Every detail from the parking to the newlyweds departure was amazing. The venue was perfect, the food was delicious and the attention and professionalism of the staff was exceptional. All of our guest that we have heard back from were raving about their time there. Most comments were about the staff and what a truly amazing job they did. The staff spotted every potential bump in the road before it ever became a bump and took care of it. The whole staff made this a wonderful cherished memory for my whole family.
Ivy Hall was the perfect choice for my daughter's wedding! The entire staff are seasoned professionals and are readily available throughout the entire planning process! We had Margaret Dawalt as our main coordinator and she was absolutely fantastic! She had great advice and offered assistance whenever we needed it! Her knowledge of the process was extensive and made planning a breeze. The food is prepared in house and was extremely good! So many guests commented on the quality of the food and bar choices! Colleen, our ceremony coordinator, was also extremely attentive and stayed with us until the reception handoff to our Captain, Lenord, who took care of all reception details seamlessly! Highly recommend this venue for experience and peace of mind!
We had our wedding last year around October. We had a great time with the whole team from the Venue tour, food tasting, and the wedding day itself. Everything was perf! We had a very specific theme of rustic chic wedding and the whole team really made a fantastic outcome with the design. The place is perfect especially for 60 guests and the food was also awesome. We also preferred gluten free dishes and they all had great choices to serve. The guests were also satisfied and really enjoyed the day. We highly recommend this venue and catering service to anyone looking for a beautiful location and delicious food for their big day!
We had a wonderful experience at Ivy Hall for our wedding!
We had a hard time finding the right venue for us, we first met with Margaret when we toured the venue and she helped seal the deal for us! The team is incredibly helpful (our account manager was Linda and ceremony coordinator was Colleen) and accommodating every step of the day and made sure our vision came to life. Having food/bev on-site at the venue and a rehearsal/ceremony + reception coordinator saved so much stress! I can’t say enough good things!
We had a wonderful experience with Ivy Hall for our daughter's wedding. Our coordinator was amazing. She helped us with our vendors and decisions along the way. She stayed in touch with us and all vendors throughout the planning process. This ensured that we had a stress-free day. The wedding was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the service was top notch. We could not have been happier with the wedding day at Ivy Hall. I highly recommend them.
Our experience with Ivy Hall was incredible! Margaret was the best throughout every step of the planning process, from our first conversation until well after the wedding was over. Margaret and the ivy hall team made sure every detail was exactly how we envisioned it, and it was better than I could have imagined! The entire day ran so smoothly thanks to her and the entire ivy hall staff. We also received so many compliments from guests on the beautiful venue and how great everyone at ivy hall was. Not to mention, the food and drinks are incredible. Thank you for helping us have the best day ever!
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Margaret and the staff at Ivy Hall. From start to finish the planning for my daughter’s reception in August was a breeze. Margaret answered all of our questions and handled all of the details we were concerned about. She had amazing ideas and we felt relaxed going into the reception. It was a beautiful evening - the food was amazing and never ending. We used vendors that Margaret recommended and we couldn’t be happier with how the evening turned out!!! We can’t say enough good things about this venue, staff and Margaret. My daughter , Merideth ( bride) said it was the best day ever!
We had such a stellar experience working with Margaret, Jacob, and the whole team at Ivy Hall! Our wedding was everything we dreamed it would be, and the team was there with us every step of the way. They were so accommodating with our questions and special needs, and were always professional in how they handled everything. We were sold on the venue because it gave us multiple settings to create a seamless experience for our guests from the outdoor ceremony space to the open indoor reception area. The food was to die for, and we have heard so many wonderful things from our guests. We definitely recommend the tater-tot bar as we are still getting rave reviews from our friends. We are so happy we chose to host the most important day of our lives at Ivy Hall, and can’t thank the team enough for making it so magical!
Choosing Ivy Hall as our venue was an absolute dream. The staff there was amazing to work with through the planning phase and I cannot express the level of service we got from the staff on the day of our wedding. The team at Ivy Hall coordinated all of the details with our vendors to pull together any loose ends which really helped with the stress as we got closer to wedding day. We still have people rave about the food from our wedding even 4 months later. I really want to shout out Margaret because she kept my mom and I sane and went above and beyond to make our vision come to life. I would 100% recommend Ivy Hall as venue to anyone and if I had to do it over again I would chose Ivy Hall in a heart beat.
Absolutely loved Ivy Hall for our wedding reception!! Everything about it was magical! The staff is incredible and so easy to work with (Margaret especially). Margaret guided me throughout the entire year of planning and made it so easy on us. We had a larger wedding which I was worried about, but Margaret did a wonderful job of helping me figure out the best way to accommodate everyone. They have an amazing vendor list as well which made finding a DJ, florist, baker, etc. as stress free as possible. They also have an in house kitchen and cook all the food there onsite which was a huge plus! The food was unreal!!! They had an event for all the couples getting married around the same date to all come in and try the different foods they offer from their menu. It was a special way to get to know other couples and to pick our wedding reception dinner menu. All I had to do the week of the wedding was drop off any extra decorations I wanted (which wasn’t much because they had mostly everything already included) and they had it all set up beautifully for the reception. When my husband and I arrived to our reception we were greeted by our day of coordinator and she took us to where we needed to be. I can’t express how grateful I am to have had the experience I did!! I would recommend Ivy Hall to every bride!!!!
Great venue! We loved how everything turned out with our ceremony and reception at Ivy Hall. It is a convenient location, our guests were comfortable,
It was absolutely beautiful, the food was amazing, there was plenty of dancing space with 150 guests, and the setup was excellent. The staff kept
Everything running smoothly, and they spoiled the bride and groom with table service during the reception, plus sent the couple home with servings of all of the wedding food and cake to go! Pricing was very transparent and reasonable. The staff was responsive to questions throughout the planning process and made things as easy as they could be. Definitely recommend!
Ivy Hall is an incredible venue! We got married here in May 2022 and it was absolutely perfect! From the moment we first met Margaret and toured the venue, we knew we wanted to move forward. Margaret is organized, patient, thoughtful and so passionate about what she does. We were so grateful to have her as our wedding coordinator and she played such a huge role in making our wedding day as perfect as it was.
It's rare in this area to find a beautiful venue that offers everything Ivy Hall does - incredible staff, beautiful rustic charm, indoor & outdoor ceremony options, separate areas for cocktail hour and reception, amazing food options, gorgeous areas for photos, and wonderful recommendations for other wedding vendors. When touring other venues, I felt overwhelmed by all the things we would have had to plan for - tables, seating, linens, lighting, A/V, catering, bartenders, etc. All of these things were included with our package at Ivy Hall and it was such a relief to have an experienced team helping us with all of the details!
If you are looking at wedding venues, you should absolutely meet with Margaret and tour Ivy Hall. It was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process! Margaret, Ivy Hall and the whole team at Events Catering have our highest recommendation!
We got married at Ivy Hall in April of 2022 -- and goodness, it could not have been a more beautiful & perfect day. We originally toured Ivy Hall and their other venue on-site (Roswell Mill Club, also beautiful!) back in March of 2021 I believe, and from the very beginning, everybody on the staff was incredibly kind, helpful, and quick to answer any questions we would.
Margaret was our day-of coordinator and who we first met there, and she was extremely organized, well-communicative, and made the entire process so easy and stress-free, I could not have imagined it being any better, truly.
We were able to attend a tasting prior to our wedding day to pick out our menu, which on the day-of, everybody raved about. We also had a final planning meeting, as well as a ceremony meeting leading up to our big day. Everything felt very organized and there was never a moment where I felt unprepared when working with the venue.
I also appreciated that they had us fill our vendor agreement forms with all of our vendors, it made everything feel more secure throughout the process.
Our wedding day itself went by so quickly, but truly from taking photos beforehand, to the ceremony itself (which could not have been more stunning outside on that patio area and running water of the river in the background) to the reception and the send-off, I am so grateful that we chose to work with Events Catering. Whether you're considering moving forward with your event at Ivy Hall or Roswell Mill, I could not recommend them enough.
Working with Ivy Hall and the Events Catering team was a dream! The venue, food, and amenities are all spectacular. It was so helpful that they have items you can use such as a ceremony arch and cake stand. Margaret is so incredible to work with and will ensure everything runs so smoothly on the day-of. We had a perfect ceremony and reception there and have been recommending it to anyone we speak with ever since.
Ivy Hall is an incredible venue! If you're looking for rustic vibes, amazing food, and an awesome team, definitely check them out! We had the honor of working with Margaret at our latest wedding there. We've been to many weddings at Ivy Hall & have always been impressed with the events thrown there. It's also super close to Old Mill Park - if you're looking for a gorgeous photo opp for your wedding, the location is super convenient as well!
Our guests raved about the food and they were flexible and great to plan with
This venue and experience was a dream come true! Margaret did an amazing job and was there every step of the way! I couldn’t have dreamed of a better wedding! Would highly recommend this venue along with her talents!
Our wedding was absolute perfection! Such a beautiful venue. Margaret made the planning process so easy and stress free. I would highly recommend having your wedding here.
Ivy Hall was incredible!!! It’s a stunning venue and the staff is top notch! We picked it for the beautiful space and surroundings but also because I knew the staff would ensure everything ran perfectly (which is what my type A personality needed)! Margaret was our account manager and she was amazing to work with. Colleen was our ceremony coordinator and she was awesome and kept us right on schedule. Almost every guest at our wedding told us it was one of the most beautiful venues they’d ever seen. Highly highly recommend!!! Thank you to all the staff for making our day incredibly perfect! We will forever be grateful 💕
First of all... STUNNING VENUE. Great space. Wonderful flow to the event.
However, and equally important when you hold an event - the staff. WOW. Talk about knowing their space. Knowing events. Helping your choose and then making it happen.
Exceptional customer service. Phenomenal ability to troubleshoot those situations (ahem - people) that inevitably "challenge" your affair in both the planning stage and during the celebration. Well done Margaret, event captain and staff... well done!
I've held two events (80 people and then 150ish) with this venue and could not be more pleased. I'm not one to take time to leave a review unless it's an exceptional experience - either bad or good. This one deserves every word. Highly Recommend.
We were originally supposed to have our wedding in November of 2020, but for obvious reasons we had to move the date. During the pandemic, Ivy Hall was a dream to work with. When the decision came that we needed to move our date, they were flexible and willing to help us select a new date that accommodated our hopes. They helped to allay our fears, but we’re professional and upfront with expectations concerning our contract agreement for the venue. When we were “coming up short” on original projections for guest count, they helped us think of ways to still utilize our budget- this included upgrading our wine and beer selections and well as opened up opportunities to enhance our original menu choices.
Margaret served as our coordinator and Colleen was our “Ceremony coach”- as dubbed by my husband. Both women are extremely detailed and supportive in the planning and execution of our wedding. They helped to answer ALL the questions and were very responsive to any query.
Ivy Hall, or their other venue the Roswell Mill Club, are terrific locations for couples who are looking to have an “all-in-one” wedding/reception in one location.
First, I am thankful that my daughter selected Ivy Hall as her wedding venue. The staff were so gracious and kind in helping us move our daughter's wedding from November 2020 to April 2021 due to Covid. We wanted a Sunday wedding and were able to secure the exact date we wanted!
Ivy Hall was personal, timely and detailed in the communication that took place to plan for the wedding. They were so accommodating with each request and also offered great suggestions. With so many items included in the venue and catering, planning was very easy.
The day of the wedding, Ivy Hall took special care of the bride and of me to ensure we were enjoying the day and were worry free. We didn't have to do anything but have a wonderful time.
The food was delicious for both cocktail hour and for dinner. I was concerned when my daughter chose the tater tot bar but our guests loved it!
Over the years, I've attended many weddings at all types of venues. I felt my daughter would have a nice wedding, however, Ivy Hall exceeded my expectations. Guests also shared that this was "the best wedding" they ever attended.
Absolutely amazing. I can't enough good things about Ivy Hall. They were so accommodating and a tremendous help, even when having to change things last minute. I worked with Linda and Margaret, and they made sure everything ran on time and smooth. My guests raved about how much fun they had and how beautiful the venue was!
Ivy Hall was the PERFECT venue. Their team was helpful from the beginning to the very end. Margaret told us all we needed to know at the intro meeting and even gave us a lot of vendor recommendations. Colleen and Linda were so responsive and super easy to work with when planning the ceremony we had onsite and the reception. We used all their preferred vendors and definitely did not regret any of them. They made us so comfortable during the whole process and kept making sure we were satisfied. Not to mention the venue is stunning! Everything came together perfectly and we were so pleased with our wedding day!
I cannot say enough good things about Ivy Hall. Our guests gushed about the wooden beams and Edison lighting of the venue, our photographer was thrilled with all of scenery for our photos (covered bridge, brick mill, lively creek, lush greenery, twinkle lights, etc.), and the venue was just our style. The people there made it even better!
Margaret was our Account Manager. She has so many great ideas for layout, setup, and decor. She guided us along the way and helped us to find other good vendors to reach out to. She is a wonderful person to bounce ideas off of and is not intimidating at all. Margaret truly made us so comfortable and took so much pressure off of us and our event, Covid crisis and all. She even coordinated with all of our vendors the week of, making sure they had the information they needed and showed up on time, which made my life so much easier. She also managed the ceremony coordinator and event captains for the evening (trust me, their system works).
During the actual day, I was so shocked to find that everything I had left there (table numbers, blankets for outdoor seating, bathroom basket, etc.) was set up perfectly - and I am picky! They really listened in all of our meetings and went above and beyond to make us and our guests feel safe in this crisis with last minute seating chart changes, mask usage, and spreading out the ceremony chairs.
The ceremony was coordinate by a great woman on their staff named Coleen. She kept everyone in line, literally, and made sure that every grandma and toddling flower girl was where she was supposed to be at the right time. She shepherded us from pre-pictures to our announcement and was superb.
Our Event Captains who managed the party made sure we were well fed and always had a drink in our hand and a water at our table all night. I am one of the few brides I know who had plenty to eat on her wedding day, and all the help she could dream of - need shoes that won't rub your blister from your bag? They're on it. Getting a little hot on the dance floor? They will get the air going. Is it time for your bouquet toss? They have prepped the DJ, grabbed your toss bouquet, and have the single ladies lined up. We really felt like they not only made sure our guests were having fun, but that we got to talk and dance and not worry about the rest.
Could not have a higher opinion of the venue and the people at this company. We are looking forward to our much larger bash with them again next year!
My husband and I recently held our wedding at Ivy Hall. If I could describe our experience in one word, it would be: AMAZING!! From the first time we visited the venue, Ivy Hall staff have treated us with such care, respect, and dedication toward making our dream day come true. Our wedding coordinator, Linda, was always available to answer questions and keep us on track throughout the planning process. This was especially important to us given the many changes required to our wedding because of COVID-19. Additionally, on the day of, Colleen and Leonard were absolutely phenomenal and made sure every last detail was taken care of without any need for worry!
Speaking to the actual venue, its location by the creek and nature center is beautiful for photos. The Ivy Hall building was another reason we liked the venue, as the 2-story building provided a back-up in the case of poor weather. Luckily, our wedding day had clear skies, but we appreciated having options beforehand. This is a small detail my husband and I could not find easily at other venues that might really make a difference for someone wanting an outdoor option, but with a practical back-up indoors. We really liked the aesthetic of the indoor area as well. The wooden floors, strung lights, and traditional-looking bars provided a great vibe to the celebration which matched the personality of my husband and me.
I highly recommend the venue for its caring staff, beautiful location, and perfect facility for a wedding or celebration. Nothing but positive words and high regards to Ivy Hall!
Ivy Hall was the perfect venue for our wedding. It was absolutely beautiful, the food was amazing, and the service could not have been better. They took care of absolutely everything. They worked with us and were amazing flexible during a Covid wedding. 2020 was not the ideal time to plan a wedding, but Margaret and everyone at Ivy Hall made it easy and fun. We couldn't have been happy with our choice to get married at Ivy Hall!
Simply outstanding! The staff, the venue, the food.... we had an amazing experience with Events Catering and Ivy Hall at the Roswell Mill. The venue is beautiful, spacious, indoor/outdoor, and very comfortable. Our guests had a wonderful time, and we received many compliments on our choice of venue.
We worked with Margaret for the reception and Colleen for the ceremony. Margaret delivered an amazing customer experience. From hosting us on our initial venue tour, through event planning and finally through the reception itself, she was consistently available for us and managed all our details seamlessly. You can tell that Margaret loves what she does, and she is exceptionally good at it!
Colleen was also wonderful to work with! She made sure our wedding party was prepared for the ceremony, ready for pictures and helped us transition to the reception easily.
Everything went smoothly and was beautiful. No issues, no worries, whatever was needed the Events Catering staff took care of it! Our daughter's wedding ceremony and reception were beautiful, memorable, and so much fun!!
My daughter's wedding reception was amazing at Ivy Hall! Margaret was extremely comforting, informative and efficient as we navigated through the rough waters of the pandemic. She is AWESOME!! The food was awesome as well and the staff were very professional, fun and friendly! We were originally booked for May 2nd but postponed to July 31st. Our headcount dropped considerably (from 210 to 140) but we are very grateful we were able to make this happen - and we're all covid-free on day 12! Two more days and homefree!!
Amazing, classy venue!!! The staff members were all very professional and went out of their way to make us happy on our wedding day. Linda, our account manager, was very quick responding to emails and was there every step of the way on the day-of. The venue owners are very budget-friendly and proactively offered ways to help us save money throughout the process. I was overall very impressed with the quality of the food and beverage service.
Ivy Hall was the perfect place for my wedding. First and foremost, the staff was incredibly attentive and on top of our planning timeline. They always took time to answer any questions I had, whether through email or on the phone. Secondly, the food offered was delicious. There was not one thing that I tried at the tasting that was bad. Third, the venue is absolutely gorgeous!! Whether you're getting married in the height of summer or dead of winter, you're going to have a beautiful back drop for some amazing photos. If I had to do it over again, I would still pick Ivy Hall as our venue.
Words Cannot describe how thankful I am that we chose Ivy Hall to have our wedding reception! From the very first moment that I met Margaret I knew it was the right decision- from her having a delicious food menu, photos from previous weddings and an answer absolutely every question I could come up with!!! She constantly kept in touch throughout the wedding planning process and so did all the other employees of Ivy Hall- Events Catering! The venue not only had impeccable staff but the venue itself was stunning! I still have people raving about “how much fun and gorgeous” our wedding was!!! Don’t look anywhere else - number one spot right here!
There are not enough good things that I can say about our experience working with Ivy Hall and the entire Events Catering staff for our wedding day! This coming from someone who was stressed out just thinking about all of the details that go into wedding planning, the staff at Ivy Hall/Events Catering took care of EVERYTHING for us! The entire planning process from start to finish was seamless, and our wedding day went off without a hitch. The staff is SO responsive and helpful and really goes above and beyond to ensure no minor detail is overlooked. I would recommend this venue and team to EVERYONE! My friends and family who have gotten married elsewhere were envious of the stress free planning experience we had all thanks to this wonderful venue. And to top it all off, it is absolutely beautiful and the food was DELICIOUS! Look no further than Ivy Hall for your wedding venue. Margaret and Collen in particular were amazing in helping us plan and execute our big day :)
My husband and I only visited one venue when searching for the perfect place to hold our wedding reception - Ivy Hall! The event space itself is beautiful but the historic grounds and river made for the perfect scenery for fall wedding pictures! Our account manager, Linda, was so helpful and the event staff was amazing! Linda was so organized and paid attention to every detail in planning and event setup. Our guests were raving about the event space, food, staff and dance floor after our wedding. We loved our experience and definitely recommend Ivy Hall!
Margaret was amazing to work with! I am an event planner myself and was very particular with how I wanted things set up. She did a great job keeping up with revisions and they really let us tailor our Wedding to our needs with bringing in outside vendors and lots of decor. It was a beautiful, perfect day! Margaret kept us on track and ensured we were well taken care of on our wedding day, leaving us, our bridal party and guests to really enjoy the night! We have gotten COUNTLESS compliments on the food and signature drink as well! It was all so good! I would definitely recommend Ivy Hall!
My husband and I could not recommend Ivy Hall enough. From our very first visit, we were struck by the beauty and unique qualities of the venue, from the gorgeous overlook of Vickery Creek, to the rustic inside of the venue that is just beautiful! The process leading up to the wedding was very helpful and efficient for finalizing plans. The client reception where we got to sample some of the food options was a great way to see the venue all set up, taste the delicious food, and talk with Linda about any questions we had. The actual day of the wedding could not have been more perfect! The staff was SO awesome and helpful, and they got everything set up flawlessly for our quite large wedding. The food was phenomenal, and we got compliments from all of our guests about how much they loved the appetizers and main course selections! We were well taken care of as the bride and groom, and we got generous portions of all of our food selections in a to-go bag to take with us after the wedding! Linda and all of the event staff were extremely friendly, hard-working, and efficient! The event went so smoothly and I am so thankful for all of the work they did to set it up better than I could’ve imagined. Again, I could not recommend Ivy Hall more!!!
I could not have asked for a more perfect day or planning process with the staff here! I felt like I knew exactly what I was going to get, and it still exceeded my expectations! During the event itself, the staff were so attentive and flexible and kept my husband and I up to speed with the time and how long until the next planned event (i.e. cake cutting, toasts etc.) while offering full flexibility if in the moment we wanted to deviate from the plan. I got SO MANY COMPLIMENTS from guests on the natural beauty of the venue and the comfortable layout of the room as well as the food and bar quality. Do yourself a favor and have your wedding here!
Ivy Hall was the most beautiful setting we could have possibly imagined for our big day!!! Margaret was an absolute gem to work with from booking all the way through the process. She helped guide us for all of our decisions that we needed help with and helped us tie in family traditions that were important to us. The day of the entire team was three steps ahead of us and knew what we needed at every moment. Couldn't have been happier with our decision to be married and host our reception at Ivy Hall!
All Ivy Hall staff were both helpful and informative! They made The whole process of planning so easy. They provide all of the information you could possibly need in addition to recommendations for vendors. They created my dream wedding without any stress. The day went flawlessly as all Ivy Hall staff were directing me on when to do everything as well as keeping the whole night on track as far as speeches, toasts, and cake cutting. They truly made it a special day!
We had a wonderful experience from beginning to end.
The first tour and information that was given by Margaret was exactly what we needed to make a good decision. Our daughter and son in law lived out of town and the owners and staff were very accommodating with meeting dates, information and any extra help we needed. Extra wishes were easily included and taken care of perfectly. They even incorporated a German wedding soup!
The day of the wedding went off without any problems or delays. The help by the staff was wonderful and they made this very special day perfect.
Ivy Hall was the first (and only) place we visited for our wedding because we knew immediately that it was the one! The beautiful venue has a space for a large, accommodating reception and has a gorgeous indoor space in case it rains during the ceremony. Knowing we had a beautiful plan B was a huge selling point for us!
The staff are incredibly kind and go out of their way to make sure that everything in the process is easy and fun. I worked closely with both Linda and Margaret and they were wonderful! Ivy Hall makes a point to help you with a timeline for planing that makes the whole process seem less overwhelming.
There are gorgeous spaces for pictures, plenty of room to bring your own touches/decorations, and plenty of decorations available to use there if not!
The food is absolutely delicious; our guests loved it! I wasn't stressed at all on my wedding day because the staff at Ivy Hall run like a well-oiled machine and are extremely professional while doing so. So glad we spent the best day of our lives at Ivy Hall!
My wedding reception was at Ivy Hall, and I had the MOST wonderful experience. The staff is amazing, both during the the months leading up to my wedding and on the day of. Each staff member I encountered was so friendly and willing to help. Ivy Hall assigns you an Account Manager for all the planning and prep, and at least one Event Captain for the event day. Margaret, my Account Manager, was so knowledgeable about the wedding planning process, and she shared honest and practical advice about what to do/not to do. But if you decide to go with the less practical way, she is on board too :) She coordinated my florist, DJ, cake vendor and photographer, making sure everyone was on the same page. I was not worried about anything during the entire process -- I knew they had it under control. There was no disappoint when I discovered I had to use their caterer... as their food was so delicious. They're willing to mix and match their menu to what you want. I have recommended this place to everyone I know. You should have your wedding/reception here. You won't regret it.
Absolutely magnificent place! The staff, the venue, the service are wonderful. Every single detail is SPECTACULAR! So glad we chose this place and had the pleasure to work (no stress at all) with Margaret, April, Colleen and the entire crew. I would choose it again and again
The venue was perfect and the staff was amazing. Linda was a pleasure to work with throughout our planning process. The food was delicious and the venue was beautiful that evening. They had great recommendations for outside vendors and because the catering is done in-house, that process was much easier. Our guests raved about the food, especially the pecan chicken! Pricing was another great factor. They are very reasonable with their food and bar packages. We were exceptionally pleased with how everything turned out.
Ivy Hall was a fantastic venue for our wedding. We had many compliments on the fantastic food and the beauty of the venue. We could not have had a more smoothly run wedding. Highly recommend!
Ivy Hall made our wedding an absolute DREAM! They took such great care of us from the moment we toured the venue to the moment we departed our reception. I have always heard that you don't actually get to enjoy your wedding, but that could not have been further from the truth at Ivy Hall! My husband and I would recommend this venue 100 times if we could!
Beautiful venue, great food and drinks, would recommend for sure! Bartenders were wonderful and my guests told me they had so much fun - and that's all of the important stuff :)
A couple downers....
- We were running late (which I assume happens frequently, but maybe not?) and I had a major makeup debacle and our day-of coordinators seemed very overwhelmed and stressed out which in turn only made me feel even more horrible. I wish they would have been a little more calm to help reduce the stress. They were also pretty rude to my maid-of-honor by demanding she do a few things... luckily, my MOH is very direct and quickly replied "Isn't that your job"? So I think they got the picture. I do understand it's their job to keep things on time and moving, and they definitely did, just think maybe a more calm approach could have helped!
- One of their preferred vendors - Complete Music Atlanta DJ Service - was pretty horrible. The actual DJ was AMAZING. Played a great variety of music, was entertaining and was so kind to us. However, it was a disaster regarding the outdoor uplighting and microphones for our ceremony, which they also "provided". The microphones were yanked from us about an hour before the ceremony because the company didn't do their due diligence to tell us there was an associated fee (which we would have gladly paid). We were simply told that they had mics and we could use them. The owner's wife found out right before our wedding that we hadn't paid this said-fee so she said we weren't allowed to use them. I wish that our day-of coordinator would have brought this to my attention as they informed my now-husband who just said ok to keep things moving where if I knew, I would have demanded we get to use them and they wouldn't have gotten away with it. Then the uplighting... November does not give you a sunset wedding at 7 pm. We were sold a sunset wedding and it was almost pitch black when the ceremony began - Ivy Hall was very responsive to my concerns the week leading up to the wedding when we all realized the sun would set right before our ceremony began. They offered to cover the costs of the uplighting to ensure it looked beautiful - and it did. However, they did not rent them for long enough so the same lady that took the mics from us was also taking down the lights while we were trying to take our bride/groom pictures - she is literally in the background of some of the photos. When asked if they could stay a bit longer, she responded "I have to get home, I have a sitter with my kids" - I am an understanding person, but this shouldn't have been an issue to begin with and her unwillingness to be the least bit flexible is/was unacceptable. Additionally, I wrote the owner of the company to tell him what happened and never got a response. This obviously threw off what our photographer had planned and made for a less-than desirable experience and sub-par photos.
I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience working with Linda, April, and the team at Ivy Hall. It is a beautiful historic venue, and every detail was carefully addressed. They took all of my questions and responded in a timely manner. Everyone that attended our wedding mentioned how great the facility was, as well as how delicious the food was! The staff was so easy to work with. The entire day was flawless! Thank you Ivy Hall!
I don’t even know where to start with our experience at Ivy Hall but it was perfect! Margaret, our event coordinator, was a delight to work with and made our day spectacular. The staff was all very attentive from beginning to end and we didn’t have to worry about anything. Our day was absolutely perfect and we highly recommend Ivy to Hall to anyone getting married in Roswell!
We absolutely loved working with Events Catering, and our reception at Ivy Hall was absolutely gorgeous. It makes for the perfect, rustic set-up and provides plenty of space, especially for larger parties. We loved that we were able to use the downstairs deck area for a fun cocktail hour with outdoor games like cornhole. Linda was our coordinator, and she was SO easy and pleasant to work with from day one. She has all the answers and was incredibly helpful in giving us pointers about the floor plan, vendors, certain decorations, etc. The only improvement that could be made to the venue (which is easier stated than done) is potentially adding a bathroom upstairs. The only bathroom is downstairs, which makes it difficult for handicap guests to access - not impossible, as they can walk/use a wheelchair down the hill outside the side of the building. But if possible, a single-person upstairs bathroom would make it much easier. All in all, Ivy Hall is a great wedding venue and I would (and already have) recommended it to friends.
We visited many wedding venues and then came to Roswell Mill/ Ivy Hall. (Events catering) We quickly discovered that this is not just “a venue” and highly recommend them. Compared to other venues, the cost seems close to others and then you see the value. Don’t get me wrong. Weddings are expensive. We also had the Ceremony there. Table cloths, linens, hurricane candles and arbors (if your wedding is outdoors) are included. They help by giving you a list of approved vendors, all of which were excellent. Our wedding was unusual in that we originally had 225, then dropped to 165. Linda went above and beyond to help us figure out numbers. On the actual night of the wedding, Margaret ran the ceremony smoothly, the table captain Scott was awesome and made sure everything ran smoothly. I did not meet chef Craig, but the food was delicious (we had many very picky foodies at the wedding.) Everyone especially loved the brie tarts and perfectly cooked pecan chicken with dirty rice. We were able to enjoy the wedding while not worrying about details that did not get taken care of. Be advised, when it is over they clean up before you can blink your eyes. Overall, this is a venue that will leave you with good memories of your event.
A beautiful setting for a wedding reception. Margaret was our coordinator provided by Ivy Hall and she was fantastic! Very easy to work with, good information and referrals, and a wonderful job of doing the décor.
I absolutely loved having our wedding at Ivy Hall at the Roswell Mill!! From the very beginning, their staff made me feel completely taken care of and I was confident that they would successfully manage our big day. The historic and picturesque setting was amazing, and it was easy having the venue take care of both catering and beverage. Our coordinator Margaret was phenomenal- she was incredibly thorough addressing every last detail and helping to accommodate requests to make our event very personal. Every question was answered in a timely manner and Ipsy appreciate the day-of support and attention to detail. The decor was set up perfectly and again, I was able to intrude complete confidence in the Ivy Hall staff which allowed me a totally stress free and fun day. I can’t thank and recommend the venue enough!
Love Margaret, our account manager and the go to person! She was awesome prior and during our daughter’s wedding (she is also the day-of coordinator).
The venue is beautiful, the on-site catering eliminates a lot of planning and decision making, but it also eliminated the flexibility of choosing your own catering. But that’s the trade-off we know going in.
Overall, I highly recommend this place for wedding.

Thank you so much for your thoughts, Cindy!
We always love when we get to create relationships with the whole family! Thank you so much for allowing us to host such a special moment for your daughter.

The staff went above and beyond to save our wedding from the rain, and they are all so caring. This beautiful, historic venue has rustic touches and can be customized or can help you pull off a color-by-numbers wedding. We loved our wedding, received compliments on the food, struck a balance of dream wedding with budget realities, and had so much fun. The staff completely changed over our ceremony setup while it poured rain, and our account manager got soaked to keep me dry.
GREAT:
- Ceremony and Reception in a single location
- Backup rain location
- Ample parking in the complex
- Catering, drinks, servers, linens, furniture, and basic decor all in one place
- Food cooked on site (therefore it is served out from the kitchen warm and more can be made)
- Experienced staff
- Beautiful space including courtyard and above the Roswell Mill park for pictures
- Prices on catering and beverages
- MARGARET is an expert at weddings, design, a sounding board, and follows up on everything.
- Can have a beautiful wedding here without doing anything additional for furniture, linens, and decor. That's major $$ saved!
GOOD:
- Food selection and flexibility
- Try samples of food at a quarterly reception
- Tried and true day-of timelines, setup/timeline suggestions, and options to personalize your wedding
- Space flexibility
SET YOUR EXPECTATIONS
- Historic building, so the bathrooms are downstairs and the wheelchair ramps are around the side/back. If using a band, there is only one option for location.
- Established processes and rules limit your choices or flexibility in some aspects (food, wine selection). This can also be helpful if you have little time or are overwhelmed by Pinterest.
- Won't meet reception staff ahead of time, but they are great, experienced professionals.
Response from the Vendor on 10/24/2018
8-18-18 is definitely a wedding none of the Events staff will ever forget! But like they say, rain on your wedding day is good luck!
So glad it worked out the way it did and grateful to have had a bride as calm and collected as you! Enjoy marri...
ed life, Debbie!

Ivy Hall and the folks at Events Catering made this the best experience ever!!! From the time we first met with them, we knew we had picked the right place for our daughter's wedding. So many things were included that made it very easy to do the planning. On the day of the wedding, my husband and I were able to sit back and enjoy our only daughter's wedding, knowing everything was being handled and taken care of. Also, the food was fabulous! So many guests came up to us raving about the food at the cocktail hour and then reception. It truly was a magical night for our family. I cannot give this venue enough praises for the wonderful job they did!!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/24/2018
We so loved working with you and your sweet family! Thank you so much for your kind words. They mean the world!

WOW! Ivy Hall and Events Catering was beyond phenomenal. My husband and I just got married there and they truly made it a dream come true. We live out of state but wanted to celebrate where we were born and raised, in ATL. We picked Ivy Hall because its outdoor beauty close to home. From day one, planning was unbelievably easy whether it be over the phone, email or visiting in person when I came to town.
On the day of, the wedding planners and staff were there every step of the way. We had our ceremony on the deck, cocktail hour downstairs, and reception upstairs. The food was delicious (which they make sure the bride and groom are served food and drink!) and the staff was so organized. Truly seamless experience. Thank you a million times over to Margaret and Colleen. You two truly made our day better than imagined! I highly recommend Ivy Hall and Events Catering to anyone who wants a stress free and beautiful wedding experience!

Becky! You were such a beautiful bride and we so loved being a part of your day. Thank you so much for your trust! Enjoy married life!!

We held both our Ceremony and Reception at Ivy Hall. It was an absolutely beautiful location to have a wedding - right in the center of downtown Roswell overlooking the Chattahoochee River. Having both events in the same location made everything so easy - our guests were easily guided from the Ceremony to the Cocktail Hour to the Reception with ease. Linda and Carol were excellent to work with! I am an event planner with a wedding venue, so I was a little nervous handing over the reins. They handled everything on the day perfectly! The room looked beautiful: all of my special little décor details were placed out in the correct places. They coordinated with all of the vendors and took care of everything on the day-of. They moved the event along according to the timeline, but I never felt stressed or pressured. I have received so many compliments on the venue and the food. I am really proud of the wedding that we put together and choosing Ivy Hall as the venue was a large part of that. I would recommend it to any future couples!

What a joy you were to work with! Thank you for your sweet words and we hope you are loving married life!!

I don't even know where to begin! They made everything PERFECT!!!!! As a working, busy bride, Linda helped me so much during the 11-month planning period. She stayed cool, calm and collected the entire time and was able to help me with anything & everything! I still have people telling me how amazing my wedding was and that the venue was BEAUTIFUL! I couldn't imagine getting married and having my reception anywhere else. Do yourself a favor and have your ceremony and/or reception here!!! Plus it's in an awesome location for you to get great pictures!
We really enjoyed our wedding at Ivy Hall! One note is that if you book there, you must use their catering. We were a little disappointed by the food at the tasting, but we mentioned it to our contact at Ivy Hall. She gave us a discount on an additional station, and we were VERY surprised at how they took our suggestions for the food on the wedding day. We really appreciated that they listened to us!
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2018
Thank you for the note, Suzanne! We truly want nothing more than to make our couples happy and we are glad that we could do this for you.
We hope you have enjoyed your first few months as newlyweds!

Ivy Hall was a great venue for both our ceremony and reception. It was the first venue my fiancé and I visited and we fell in love with it instantly. The services Events Catering offers helped make our wedding process stress free. Linda answered every question my mom and I had regarding anything dealing with the wedding. After the tasting we wanted to try more dishes from the menu and Linda was able to arrange sample bags for us to taste. Colleen did an excellent job with our ceremony everything ran to schedule and was super organized. I did not have to worry about anything on the day of! The venue is beautiful and Events Catering makes it that much more special!

We are so glad that you and Bobby enjoyed your wedding! Thank you so much for being such a wonderful family to work with. We wish you all nothing but the absolute best!

I would've given 5 stars if they were more flexible. This venue is set in their ways and have a hard time steering away from cookie-cutter weddings. My fiance and I (mostly me) are not interested in anything cookie-cutter, but we fell in love with the location and space. It's absolutely gorgeous. Staff is pretty good at responding and being attentive day-of. If you want to tailor the menu to be more representative of you, then this place isn't for you. When signing the contract, we were initially told that they would provide us with the few things we really wanted to have for food. That never happened. Otherwise, everyone really enjoyed the event and agreed it was gorgeous. Also, I was skeptical of the rain-out room situation, and our wedding did get rained out. The plan B room was transformed (by my florist) and was absolutely perfect despite the weather.
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2018
Thank you for your review, Golda! We do apologize that everything did not go as planned, but we truly did try to do what we could for your menu. We do hope that you look back to your day and have nothing but happy thoughts. Your entire wedding ...
really was gorgeous and we now have your ceremony pictures in our book for our tours!
Thank you again for allowing us to host your special day!

We had our wedding reception on 9/30/2017 at Ivy Hall and it was fantastic. The space is amazing with the wood and windows and large enough to accommodate a big party (we had about 200 guests come). The food was delicious too, it was a huge plus that Ivy Hall makes their own food in house so it is served fresh!
My point of contact was Linda and I cannot say enough good things about her! She would always respond to my emails, normally within 24 hours, and really did as much as she could to accommodate all of my requests- and I definitely had a lot of them!
It should be noted that this venue is basically an all inclusive venue and a historical one at that. This means that they do have a specific image/feel they want stick to: most of their decor and furniture are permanent (we wanted to bring in chivari rental chairs), they like to do things in a very particular way (their floor plan is not very flexible, setting the tables with silverware/water is an extra cost), and they are very strict on how much time you have to set up (2 hours) and break down (1 hour) everything. In the end, these things were all details that no one noticed and it definitely did not detract from the actual event!
This venue is not a "blank canvas" where everything is customizable which may frustrate some brides, but April and her team know what they are doing when it comes to coordinating a great event. We had one hell of a party and we are very happy with the way everything turned out!
First, I will start by saying they did a wonderful job on our wedding day. Everything went off without a hitch, and the staff was responsive, easy to work with, and professional. The venue itself is beautiful, and they have a wonderful outside patio space that can be used for a cocktail hour (weather permitting). We had the opportunity to use the space, and it was perfect for the guest overflow.
The views of the river are absolutely beautiful and a great place to take pictures (the bridge is also amazing for that).
The pricing for alcohol packages is very reasonable, and the food was very good--we heard our guests enjoyed it too!
We were able to extend the reception time (they usually stop around 9:30 for 6:30 starts), but we paid for an extension to 10:30, which they agreed to do for us without issue. They also have a variety of linens to choose from beyond the traditional cream, white, and black, so be sure to ask about the selection!
The only constructive things I have to offer are that that there are some things that were not 100% clear when we began working with them--
1) The space is advertised that it can fit 250-275. It can--but that would mean using the upstairs and downstairs and separating the guests, which we definitely didn't want to do. We were fortunate to have 90% of the guests we invited RSVP yes, so we had to come up with a creative solution for seating. They ended up allowing us to do a clear tent off the side of the main floor with extra tables in it. It was heated and well-lit, and the guests that sat there said it was just fine, although I do wish we could've fit everyone comfortably in the same room.
2)They do catering in house (the food is very good!) but they do not do personal tastings--there will be a reception where they invite everyone who is having catered events based on a seasonal menu.
3)My family is big on good wine selection, and although we asked a few times prior to the day of the event, it was only about a week before that they let us know we could, indeed, ship in some of our own wine. My dad was a bit frustrated, because he didn't have enough time at that point to ship in the wines he originally wanted to provide.
4) Since the space is mostly wood (which is one of the reasons we liked it!) just be cognizant of the noise with bands--we knew we would have to be careful about where we sat our more elderly guests when we made the arrangements due to the noise level, so we weren't worried about it, but just keep that in mind if that's something you want to consider.
5) As it is a historic building, the only bathrooms are downstairs. If you have guests with mobility issues, this may be a problem for you. There is a ramp along the side (outside); however you need to go all the way outside and around to use it. Our guests were able to manage without issue, but it's something good to keep in mind.
6) Parking and Buses--not really something negative, just something to keep in mind: there is limited parking (uber is your guests' best friend!) and if you have any large buses, it is a challenge to get in and out (which we anticipated). Make sure you have a boss of a bus driver (ours was with Buckhead Coach and absolutely amazing) to get in and out, or just be ok with having any larger transports park a little bit outside of the entrance. Wasn't a huge issue for us, but something to be aware of.
All in all, it was a wonderful reception and we were very happy with the way it turned out.
Ivy Hall did such an incredible job! I did my ceremony and reception here and everything was so seamless. We got 30 minutes for our ceremony, but only used 10 minutes so we were fairly early to start everything else. We had a ceremony planner and coordinator, an event captain, and a reception coordinator. Everything went off with out a hitch!! the food was tremendous and most of it we had them make gluten free. They did a great job making sure everything was labeled with gluten free markers. The team and staff were all so friendly and helpful.
Ivy Hall was absolutely wonderful!
I invited 260 guests to our wedding, and there are very few reception venues in Roswell that can accommodate such a large number of people and still not feel cramped. The design of the space is elegant, but not stuffy. I had to bring in very little decor because the room was naturally so beautiful.
It was wonderful to use a reception venue that provided in-house catering. They provided food, beverages, tables, chairs, linens, AND all china/silverware. This allowed me to focus my time and attention to other details, like flowers and photographers. Speaking of which, they also gave me a list of preferred vendors! I selected a florist and DJ they recommended, and both were fantastic!
Leading up to the wedding, Linda worked with me side-by-side. She answered every email (always within a 24 hour period), and continually encouraged me to ask questions. We met a month prior to my event and she had already prepared a timeline. She communicated with my DJ, my photographer, my videographer, the bakery, and my florist leading up to the wedding. She let me drop off all of my decor pieces when it was convenient for my schedule (a godsend the week of), and she even made sure to have a six pack of my groom's favorite beer that they didn't have on their menu!
When we arrived for our reception, we were immediately greeted with drinks and appetizers. When we sat down to eat dinner, the wait staff already had our dinner ready so we could sit back and relax. I never had to worry about timeline because Linda was keeping up with all logistical details. They even boxed up all of the gifts and cards so my family didn't have to worry at the end of the night.
I would HIGHLY recommend Ivy Hall.
Linda was great to work with and the ceremony and reception went off without a hitch! The venue itself is gorgeous and they provide you with a day of wedding coordinator for the ceremony and reception which was great! Everyone at Events Catering was helpful during the planning process and I would definitely recommend them.
Beautiful venue and wonderful experience!! April and Linda were super nice and easy to work with! Everyone was extremely professional and knowledgeable. They have wedding planning and execution down to a science!! They even went out of their way to make sure my husband had his favorite beer (a rare craft beer) served at the rehearsal. When I walked into the venue on my wedding day, it was exactly how I had imagined it!! It was so refreshing to work with people who really care about creating your vision and go out of their way to make you feel special! I would HIGHLY recommend this venue!! I could not be happier :) Thank you, Ivy Hall!!!
We loved our Christmas wedding at Ivy Hall. Linda and the rest of the Ivy Hall team made sure the venue looked gorgeous and everything ran smoothly. The food was fantastic...guests keep telling me how much they loved the mashed potato bar!
We loved having our reception at Ivy Hall! Our assigned wedding coordinator was extremely helpful and great to work with! We had so many compliments from our guests about the venue itself as well as the food!!! It was a perfect blend of rustic, classic, and formal - all rolled into one!
Ivy Hall was the most perfect wedding venue! Enjoyed working with Linda and staff. The atmosphere for our October wedding was unbeatable and the food was delicious! I would highly recommend this venue to everyone!
Everyone at Ivy Hall and Events Catering is fabulous. Planning my day was so stress free because of them and the actual day went perfect because we were there. From set up to food to service to EVERYTHING, they allowed my day to be fabulous and for that I will forever be thankful.
My daughter's wedding ceremony and reception were held at Ivy Hall. The staff were wonderful! From the initial planning to the final minutes of the reception, everything went smoothly and was handled in a most professional manner. They thought of every detail and were there with whatever we needed every time we turned around. Colleen and Linda were so helpful and patient with us. We had about 140 people, four stations of food, open bar and ceremony at the venue. The only reason I gave them four stars is because I was unaware that the only bathrooms in Ivy Hall were downstairs. We had several older people at the wedding and this did prove to be a hardship for them. Also, the ceremony and cocktails were downstairs and the ramp that is recommended for people who can't walk stai
