As you approach MillCreek you are surrounded by rolling fields, fragrant orchard blossoms, fruiting trees and beautiful working farms which sets the stage for your day.

Millcreek Wilde was an amazing venue! Our wedding day was a dream come true and the venue played a huge factor in the best day of our lives. Don't underestimate the dance floor being in a separate room than the dining hall. Our guests danced the night away. The bar being so close was also a plus. There are so many quaint areas for people to hang out and enjoy themselves.

As a makeup artist, I'm always looking for venues that not only make the bride's planning a breeze but also work with other vendors amazingly. Not only is The Morris Estates professional, beautiful, and in one of the best locations ever. Wait until you see the bridal suite! The suite is a makeup artist's dream featuring enough room for your hair/mua team to set up while you and your bridal party still have plenty of space to enjoy the getting ready process.
