Mile Away Restaurant and Tented Venue

iance went to look at it on a Friday night and fell in love! I went Saturday morning and didn't leave until I left a deposit! The grounds are beautiful! The area under the tent is a flat concrete(a plus many other tented receptions don't offer) covered with fake astro turf. Ladies can wear heels and not worry about their heel digging into the ground. The dance floor has a gradual raise of maybe a quarter inch. This was important to me as I knew our guests would love to dance. So having them be able to dance around the dance floor without having to worry about anyone tripping was important. I was nervous at first about the food. We were unable to taste the food because it is cooked on a grill outside. Take my word: don't worry about it! We met several people who attended weddings there and raved about the food. On the day of, the food was plentiful and delicious! Sandy & Kevin Murphy are the parent's of the owner and the ones who ran our wedding. Sandy is a doll! She had our best interest in mind and rolled with the punches. She made sure everything was set up just like we wanted it, made sure we had plenty to eat as well. She gets it, she even gave us food to bring back so we had something when we got home after a crazy day. Kevin was the bartender and sooo attentive. Our guests commended him on knowing what everyone was drinking and having it ready for them before they got to the bar. Many people informed us that there was never a line at the bar because he and the other bartender were on top of it. Josh Murphy is the owner and works with you in planning your wedding. He let us do a sparkler exit and even tried a late night menu per our request-his first one! It was delicious. I can't believe I ever looked past Mile Away and am so thankful that they still had our wedding date available. If a great atmosphere(the flowers/trees/arche ways/benches!), great food and people is what you are looking for than you can't go wrong with Mile Away! I can't rave about it enough!

as the experience far exceeded my husband and my expectations!!!!

eady beautiful, but Sandy set up our decorations exactly how we wanted them. The food was INCREDIBLE! Joshua even accommodated a special side for us - we swapped one of the pasta dishes for mac and cheese (my favorite!) and it was amazing - my wedding guests asked for the recipe! The night could not have been any more amazing, and The Mile Away made it so easy. The landscape made for beautiful photos, and I would recommend anyone check out this space for any occasion. Weddings, retirement parties, tea parties, you name it!

ke our day utterly perfect! If considering this location, you must see for yourself in person. Though their pictures and marketing are great, nothing truly captures the lovely venue unless you see it in person. My husband and I planned our wedding from Pittsburgh without a hitch. Since the restaurant and venue is a family owned business, we worked with all of the members of the Murphy family. They were all attentive, responsive and helpful. Sandy (who was our point person the day of) went above and beyond to make all of our guests comfortable and enjoy themselves. Staff worked seamlessly with our photographer and DJ. Sandy and the other staff's thoughtful approach to our wedding is truly what makes the Mile Away an exceptional place to have your wedding. On top of the beauty and the attentive staff, the food was phenomenal. Our pickiest eaters loved it, as did our "foodie" friends. We had guests from Ohio who were "blown away" by the Mile Away and some of our local guests have since returned to dine at the restaurant after attending our wedding. ( I don't think that is something that most venues experience!)

ood is some of the best I've ever had at a wedding. Also they obviously have done a wedding or 2 before because they had everything covered. Me and my wife didn't have to worry about a thing. When it started raining (only during our outdoor ceremony of course) we still chose to do the ceremony outside instead of moving it under the tent. When we made that decision, they brought out cases and cases of umbrellas for our guests. They even set up a seperate awning for photos in case of the rain. My dad has bad knees and was feeling it towards the end of the night, no worries because in the bathrooms were Advil along with mini deoderants, bug spray, etc. Even the people bussing the tables used wicker baskets instead of grungy bus tubs. They made it their mission to make our special day go as smooth as humanly possible. Other than a little rain during our ceremony, the night couldn't have gone any smoother and everyone was raving about how much fun they had and how beautiful the Mile Away was.

ld also recommend setting up a couple of meetings. The contact person was not the best to deal with and information was lost in translation. But again- the day was perfect!

r customers. We chose the tented reception, which holds up to 200 guests. They are very reasonably priced, especially for the amount of food they serve! There just can't be any other venue that is as affordable, and as unique as the Mile Away. You'd be crazy not to get married here!!!!

g our reception. They also did an amazing job setting up the tables with all of the decor I had dropped off the night before. I brought everything from votive candles to table numbers to plate chargers, and everything looked perfect! In terms of the timeline, the staff worked closely with our DJ to ensure that we stayed on schedule throughout the night. At the close of the evening, we found that all of our personal items, such as my veil, had been packed up neatly in boxes to take home. The food was incredible, and many people raved at how great everything was. We actually heard from several guests that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. The Mile Away property is gorgeous and the service is fantastic for a very reasonable price. We can't wait to go back for our anniversary dinner for many years to come!

amazing kept right up with everything. The attention to detail and just the little touches that they did just made our day. I would highly recommend the Mile away to anyone.

t thought it was a beautiful spot for a wedding. From the food to the tastefully decorated tent and grounds, we could not of been more happy. Throughout the whole wedding process, we had planned the wedding in less then 8 months the Murphy Family whom runs the Mile Away handled everything completely. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for such a great wedding! I highly recommend for a gorgeous outdoor wedding that offers it all to you in one spot from the ceremony-to the delicious cake made at their own bakery-reception and fantastic gardens for pictures,You will know if it's just what your looking for when you see it!!

y about one thing. Everyone that attended had so much fun. We live in the area and knew of the restaurant and already knew how wonderful the food was so it was an easy decision to get married there. There prices are the best around. I recommend this venue to all future brides.

!

n't have asked for a better day.

rough. I would've paid a lot more for the quality and service they provided. They were there to answer all our questions throughout the months leading up to the wedding and very helpful the few days before when delivering all of our favors and centerpieces. We had a number of last minute changes and they didn't even blink an eye at accomodating them all. The day of was as smooth as could be. We had people comment on how smooth everything was and how we did not have to ask for one thing. They were one step ahead of us at all times! The food was fantastic as well. We received so many comments about how personal and unique our wedding was and how the venue was gorgeous. Im sure some people think we paid two or three times more than we actually did. I would recommend The Mile Away to everyone five times over. It is a MUST SEE when looking at your venue options. The outdoor ceremony area is amazing. And the large outdoor tented reception is incredible! The price includes heaters and walls if needed. The area the ceremony and reception are in is a beautiful garden setting with a pond and prefect for pictures! I can't say enough good things about The Mile Away and not one complaint at all! We had about 135 guests and although the total cost of services is listed as $5,001-$10,000 it is much closer to $5,001 than $10,000. VERY reasonably pricesd!

Their attention to detail, planning meetings, and day of execution was impressive. Our wedding guests can't stop talking about how great, and "different" our wedding and reception were. I am a previous bride, and a professional event planner, and was blown away by how wonderful everything went. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. ****
