An absolute dream!

I cant even begin to express how amazing Wrights Mill Farm was. The staff, the food, the venue all beyond perfect. My now husband and I wish we could stay there forever! Two years ago we toured the venue during covid, my fiance and I got in the car and knew right away this was it!! Not only is the venue top notch gorgeous, Curt and Bri were always extremely responsive with my emails and questions prior to the event. When the wedding day came, I showed up to my tables set beautifully, Bri, Curt, Cheryl, and Krissy checked on me endlessly. I never once had to worry about the order of events because Bri just let me know when it was time! Their Dj, upbeat DJ, was also always by my side to make sure I was all set and the music was always on point. I'm 100% still blown away and thankful, I can't wait till the day I can come back!! We have attended dozens of weddings, and I may be biased, but this venue was by far the best! Every one of my guests have been reaching out letting me know the venue was phenomenal and the food was to die for. Thank you to the entire Wrights Mill Farm team for being the venue to do it all perfect!

Simply amazing!

I simply don't even know if I have the words to describe how grateful I am for the Wrights Mill Farm family. Our day, and all of the planning leading up to it, we're nothing but amazing. If I could give you a million stars, I would. Everyone of the Wrights team was so kind and accommodating. My whole family and I want to thank you so much for everything you did. Our wedding is something that we will remember forever, and that is all because of you.

Brie, you are wonder women. You worked so hard to make everything absolutely perfection for our special day. Not only did I appreciate your attention to detail, but also the special individualized attention that you gave to my family and I made us feel like royalty. You made sure to frequently check in, and supported me through the whole process. From giving me pep talks, bustling my dress, joining in on the dance party and providing comic relief all day, I'M TRULY IN LOVE WITH YOU. I now consider Brie a friend and I look forward to many more memories that we can build together.
Curt, your food was CHEFS KISS! My husband comes from a large Italian family and food is so critical. We heard nothing but amazing things and we were blown away. Also, your hard work and detail that goes into the facility, does not go unnoticed. We were in awe with all parts of the venue the day we booked and all the way leading up to the day of the wedding.
Mark and Patrick from UpBeat, you are both PERFECT. You fully delivered. You played absolutely everything we asked and MORE. Your energy made the room so lively. You had us laughing ALL night.
Special shout out to server, Krissy who was literally my right hand gal all night. Reminding us to eat, having a drink in my hand before I was empty, dancing with me, organizing my stuff and giving my baby special attention. You are AMAZING. Thanks for being the worlds best bridesmaid LOL.
Also, we absolutely loved our cake, which was so delicious, and the magical horse and wagon. Two perfect elements of our perfect day.
Although this is their norm, they understood how special today was for my husband and I and treated us like it was their first and only as well.

Thank you Wrights Mill Farm family. We are so so happy that we created so many memories with you. We can't wait to come back and visit and share all of our special moments with baby Charlotte.

Same time next year?!

Dream Wedding Experience!

We cannot say enough good things about Wrights Mill Farm and their staff. My husband and I got married there about two weeks ago after having a 2 year long engagement and the entire process from the moment we toured the venue to the day after the wedding getting a phone call from Bri just to check in—was a dream come true. Wedding planning is known for being stressful but booking with Wrights could not have been easier. We are still getting compliments from guests about our wedding, the beautiful venue, attentive staff, amazing food/drink/dessert and overal experience. We wish we could relive that day over and over again!

The feeling is mutual! It's always a great experience teaming up with the Wright's Mill staff. Beautiful venue as well.

Wright's Mill, WMF, the unstoppable crew up in Canterbury....I could go on & on about how wonderful the owners & staff are. Whether they are the main family running the venue, or the rest of the group working for them, you'll never feel anything short of welcome there. They go above and beyond for their couples & the energy is contagious. I'm lucky to have become a part of their "farmily" and cannot recommend them enough.

Wright's Mill Farm is one of my favorite places to photograph weddings. The staff is professional, reliable and outstanding at making the day run smoothly. Wright's Mill has beautiful scenic backdrops including rustic barns and a covered bridge. I cannot speak highly enough of Wright's Mill and everyone there. Highly recommended!
