I've been to many events at Old Spencer Mill and I have always enjoyed the hospitality shown to me and guests by the owners. They really make you feel at home almost like family when I'm there. The staff is very nice. The food is always delicious. The grounds and facility are beautiful. Their prices are great too. i recommend Old Spencer Mill and encourage anyone to visit.

I have attended several events at Old Spencer Mill and have always been impressed with Trish's ability to make every event unique and special, no matter how large or small. The decor is always beautiful, and especially festive for the holidays. Trish has restored the grist mill and her grits are served at restaurants in Franklin, Dickson and Nashville. Trish always goes out of her way to make your event exactly what you want and more. A truly special place You cant go wrong!
Love the Peacocks!!!!

Absolutely love this place! Beautiful place for events! I highly recommend this anyone. Reasonably priced and Trish is a wonderful woman. She is very nice and real. Such a pleasure to work with. I seen some of the negative reviews and some people aren't happy no matter what. She does talk with guest to make sure they have everything they need. If someone asks her about business well of course she's going to respond, she's a business owner. I've been going there for years and have had nothing but good experiences. I highly recommend this place and highly recommend Trish Sellers.

I have been to Old Spencer Mill for many events and I love it! From the REAL Grist mill to the Peacocks. I love the beautiful rustic feel of the place. The natural creek runs through it, with a historic element also involved. I like the natural props in the country with the mill buildings and living history. The food during the event was always amazing to the gluten free corn cakes made from fresh made corn meal. Tim and Trish make the events run so smooth. All i can say is i love it, I will be back.

I have attended a few events at Old Spencer Mill. I have to say, that they have done a great job restoring the old grist mill, and general store. They have events like the Civil War Ball. Everyone dresses in period correct clothing. There is dancing, hatchet throwing, and several other activity's. They also do an event for the School for The Blind every year. I think its great that they put in so much time and effort into Old Spencer Mill, and allow people to catch a glimpse into what things were like back then.

Old Spencer Mill has been a top pick for numerous events over the years. The setting alone makes for some spectacular photography. If you are considering an event and you want a beautiful setting, a rustic atmosphere, and warm and inviting hosts then look no further! It is a family owned and operated business that has been going strong for well over 20 years. I have been to countless events there and have personally witnessed nothing but happy clients at the end of the day. Give them a try and see for yourself!
