Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Mill Street, Utica

A wedding at Mill Street in Utica gives your photographer and videographer a waterfall, a mill pond and an operating water wheel to work with. The property is a cluster of restored mill buildings in the village, about 45 minutes from downtown Columbus, and the venue lists a multitude of private photo locations across the grounds. The back deck of Campbell Mill looks over the lawn, the pond and the wheel, a natural spot for wedding photos of the whole party.

You have indoor and outdoor choices for both the wedding ceremony and the wedding reception. The Meeting House, an updated timber-frame barn, holds up to 225 for a ceremony, with an early 20th-century carriage house door as the backdrop behind you. Mill Pond Lawn is the outdoor option, with room for up to 250 at a seated dinner. Your package covers the whole property, so if it rains, the plan moves inside. Downstairs in the Meeting House there's a bridal suite with a private bathroom and kitchenette, and a groom's locker room next to a speakeasy pub.

Your wedding day dinner in the Meeting House seats up to 175, under a dramatic chandelier on white oak floors, with a bar beneath an art glass ceiling made from remnants of the old Utica glass factories. That chandelier is a lovely center point for a first dance on video. Campbell Mill's decks work for cocktail hour, and the venue can add distillery tastings. Overnight rooms are on site in Campbell Mill and at the Mill House nearby.

A little about Mill Street

The original grist mill here was built in 1815 and torn down in the 1960s, but three of the original buildings survived. They were restored and reopened as a venue in 2020.
