Weddings, company dinners, training sessions, client events and holiday parties can be held here for up to 130 guests, across two event floors and an outdoor area by the water. The Olde Village Mill is a restored stone mill on about five acres beside Pequea Creek in Strasburg, Pennsylvania, in the Amish Country of Lancaster County, about 10 minutes from downtown Lancaster.
Seminars and company events
Corporate use covers meetings, presentations, training, networking evenings, company dinners and holiday gatherings. Wi-Fi, TVs, a projector and a sound system are included with every event, and the rooms can be set for classroom seating, presentations, seated dinners, cocktail receptions or small-group discussions. The outdoor space under a large sycamore serves for breaks and cocktails. A staff member oversees the building during the event, and the team helps with setup, timing and vendors. Weekday dates are available depending on the calendar.
Weddings and receptions
Ceremonies take place outdoors beside the stream or indoors on the first floor, followed by cocktails under the sycamore and the reception inside. Every wedding rental includes a day-of coordinator, and couples can bring their own planner as well. The third floor holds suites where the couple and the wedding party get ready. Rehearsals usually take place on the Thursday before the wedding. The venue is open year-round, seven days a week.
Rooms and capacities
The mill spreads over three floors and more than 8,000 square feet. The first floor keeps its original stone walls and industrial lighting and holds up to 130 guests. The second floor has wood floors, exposed beams and a movable bar, and suits dinners, presentations and breakout groups. Both floors are climate controlled. The venue supplies up to 130 white ceremony chairs and 130 black reception chairs, round tables seating 10, rectangular and cocktail tables, a sweetheart table and a decor inventory of lanterns, vases and wood centerpieces. Linens are not included.
Catering
The mill does not cater. Hosts choose their own licensed and insured caterer, who works from a staging area with a sink, refrigeration, a freezer, counters and outlets, but no full kitchen. Alcohol is allowed but not supplied: beyond a toast, it must be served by a RAMP-certified, insured bartending service. A list of favorite vendors is available on the venue's site.
Accommodation
There are no guest rooms on site. The closest hotel listed by the venue, the Strasburg Village Inn & Suites, is about 2 miles away.
History and setting
The property dates back to 1740. Its restoration kept the original stonework, the exposed beams and other architectural details. The grounds include a ceremony site by the stream and several photo spots, and the historic Strasburg Rail Road runs nearby.
Getting there
The address is 1350 Village Road, Strasburg. Philadelphia and Baltimore are about 90 minutes away by car. On-site parking covers all guests. The first floor has an outside ramp, a chair lift reaches the second floor, and the third floor is reached by stairs only. Lancaster station, on Amtrak's Keystone line, is the closest rail stop.
