You may arrive up to 2 hours prior to the start of your ceremony for photos. Vendors will have additional time to access the facility for set up and tear down. Saturdays during “peak months” do have specific day and evening time slots available. Fridays and Sundays you may choose your time frame. Exceptions may apply on some holidays.
7. How do I go about reserving the facility and paying for my event? We do require a deposit with your contract to confirm the space and make it yours. We offer a payment schedule for the balance of the account.
8. How many guests will your facilities accommodate? The amount of seating varies depending on the event (if you need space for a dance floor, what kind of meal service you are offering, etc.). The Roswell Mill Club will hold from 75-175 guests. Ivy Hall will accommodate 150-400 guests inside the facility and can hold over 800 when the deck is tented.
9. Am I allowed to bring outside vendors in? We want you to use Vendors you are comfortable with! We are happy to suggest Florists, Photographers and Entertainment providers-we have a list of people we have worked with for many years, who know our buildings and treat our clients wonderfully. Should you want to use someone not on our list, please just ask for a Vendor Contract (they are confirming that they have appropriate licenses and insurance). We do not take referral fees.
10. Do you provide Wedding Cakes? We allow you to bring in the cake of your choice and will cut and serve it at no charge to you. We can recommend many fine bakers in the area.
11. Is there a charge for my guests to park? Our venues are located at the Historic Roswell Mill and each facility has plenty of complimentary parking for your guests.
12. What is the history of Roswell Mill?
This building is a unique and cherished piece of Southern history. Located on Vickery Creek, it was built in 1838 by Roswell King. The Mill became a vital part of the South’s early cotton industry prior to the Civil War. During the Civil War, Mill workers produced Confederate officer’s uniforms that were known as “Roswell” Grey. General Sherman destroyed the Mill on his march to the sea in 1864, but it was rebuilt in 1882. It was destroyed, again, by a lightning strike. The Mill was rebuilt and continued in operation until July 1975. The final order commissioned from the Mill was ordered by First Lady Jackie Kennedy for The Lincoln Bedroom. The Mill was reopened as a special event facility in the early 1990’s.
