- AAlex Bower15/11/2021Alex BowerAlex BowerReally lovely welcome from the staff on arrival. The ceremony took place in a beautiful setting, I particularly liked the fairy lights. The canapes were good, especially the vegetarian sausage with onion relish! The food was served very efficiently and we were even given seconds for our hearty appetites!! The staff were very professional and helpful throughout the day. The mill itself is a very interesting, historic building. A great day had all round!Really lovely welcome from the staff on arrival.

- NNikolai Almeida15/11/2021Nikolai AlmeidaNikolai AlmeidaFabulous venue with friendly staff and atmospheric interiors. The heavy wooden beams, brick walls, and original windows create a lovely intimate and rustic occasion, but with modern facilities so you can comfortably enjoy it. The wedding was entirely vegan (which is often hard to achieve) so hats off to the catering staff for cooking up a delicious meal, the bar staff were good sports, and the selection on offer was wide ranging.

- BBen Stephens15/11/2021Ben & JessBen & JessI cant recommend Haarlem Milll highly enough. We had a 'covid wedding' organised in 5 weeks and we were delighted with the amount of help, advice, and guidance we received from everyone at Haarlem Mill. It was both extremely professional and relaxed at the same time, making the wedding prep process one to enjoy rather than stress about. The venue is beautiful, the grounds are perfect with some amazing places for photos and the food was amazing. We were impressed with the flexibility of everyone and how easy it was to organise more unusual requests within the social guidance rules at the time.
