Capacity & Layout

The Corley Mill House is laid out to give couples both beautiful garden ceremony settings and elegant indoor spaces on one historic property. Couples can exchange vows outdoors in the neatly manicured gardens surrounding the home, with a romantic gazebo as an idyllic ceremony spot beneath the massive pecan trees, then move indoors to celebrate within the storied walls of the banquet hall and parlors, with their large hearths, tongue-and-groove paneling, and warm oak flooring. That flow from a garden gazebo ceremony to an elegant indoor reception gives the day a natural progression and a genuine weather plan. Couples can choose a half-day, six-hour package for a simple reception or a full-day, 13-hour package allowing ample time for the ceremony, photos, and reception, giving genuine flexibility for the timeline. The events team operates on a one-event-per-day policy, so couples enjoy private use of the property. That combination of garden ceremony space, a gazebo, and historic indoor rooms suits intimate to mid-size weddings that want charm, gardens, and privacy from the ceremony through the last dance.

Amenities

The Corley Mill House pairs its historic charm with genuine full-service amenities and getting-ready comforts. Wedding packages include in-house catering from Scott Hall Catering, and venue-only packages are available for couples who prefer to bring in another approved caterer, giving genuine flexibility. The bridal suite features a counter with adjustable seats and mirrors for hair and makeup, a kitchen with a full-sized fridge, a screen porch, two exclusive restrooms, and a dedicated bride’s room with a full-length mirror and comfortable seating, so the wedding party has room to prepare on-site.
