My experience with Provence Mills in Girard, Ohio for my 25th anniversary vow renewal celebration was nothing short of amazing. I had been following the renovation of this unique ...and beautiful French country/industrial vibe event location on Instagram and their website. Having heard my situation of a cancelled ceremony and celebration combined with unsuccessful attempts to reschedule this event, Kara, one of the owners of Provence Mills, approached me and offered to host this event at Provence Mills. While not quite open, the renovation of the space and the owners were more than ready to handle our intimate event. My husband and I were immediately thankful, tearful, and appreciative. This event was so meaningful to us as we celebrated our first 25 years and embraced the future of our marriage. Kara’s offer allowed us to schedule this event and experience one of the most beautiful memories in our marriage on the actual day of our silver anniversary, June 17th!
We had our ceremony in Pittsburgh and the venue was so convenient – so Ohio or PA – look no further than Provence Mills for your special event. Kara was fabulous to work with. She is caring, creative, trustworthy, organized, and has attention to detail like I’ve never experienced. She asked all the right questions, listened intently, took careful notes, and offered unique ideas. Kara coordinated and provided services from her extensive network of wedding-related businesses (catering, bakeries, photography, calligraphy, and etc.) in order to customize our special day. Once we discussed a plan, she took it from there and offered regular updates and checked in for confirmations as needed. Working with Kara made it not only fun, but extremely stress free. Take it from me and my Type A personality, I did not worry- I simply enjoyed the moments leading up to a special celebration with my husband and children. I knew after working with Kara and her lovely business partner Slavenca, that my event was in the hands of sweet, caring, and extremely capable professionals.
When I arrived at Provence Mills, what I saw brought tears of joy and awe to my eyes. The space in which we relaxed with our children and enjoyed amazing appetizers and a delicious five-star meal transported me to a beautiful resort-like atmosphere. We decided to have our event outdoors and the view and sunset was simply breathtaking. The entire evening was well-paced and well-orchestrated. There was as a nod to our original wedding cake as dessert – Kara contacted a bakery and they recreated our wedding cake which I never got to eat at our first wedding! The dinner space had personalized menus, pictures of us, a photographer there upon arrival to capture the moment, and many other personal touches that made the event special. We even got to dance to our original wedding song. I can’t say enough about this gorgeous venue and extremely talented event planners - Kara and Slavenca! I highly recommend Provence Mills – you will be so glad you chose them
