Absolutely amazing is the only possible way to describe Millsite Lodge and the Colonnade! From the first time I met Beth and Renae they made me feel like family and deciding to book our wedding at Millsite Lodge was a no brainer. After driving down the pine tree lined driveway I knew there was no other place I would want to have my winter wonderland wedding! Not only is the venue stunning to begin with, but the decorations done by the Colonnade were absolutely breath taking! I honestly could not have pictured a more perfect setup for both the ceremony and the reception! Kate Volz is a GODDESS!! From the first time I met with her she was always there to answer any questions and help with whatever we needed! From last minute officiant cancellations to flowers and midnight questions she was always right there! She truly made our special day perfect and unforgettable! More...

it was obvious from our first meeting with Beth that the Colonnade was the venue for us. We could tell by her enthusiasm and pride that this wedding business was not just a job. It was her passion and she loved it. We worked with Kate as the wedding date got closer. She listened to every request and vision that our daughter ever imagined for her wedding. She was organized, professional and kept us calm when we had concerns.
The final results exceeded our expectations!. Walking into the reception was breathtaking! It seemed to sparkle and glow with hundreds of candles.
The food was delicious too. We got many compliments all night about the buffet and appetizers.The staff was phenomenal and made everyone feel well taken care of.
We want to thank Beth, Kate and their staff for making the reception a stress free, magical celebration that we will always remember.

Kate's business card says event planner but it really should say fairy godmother. She was there for me at all hours of the day and listened to all me crazy ideas without judgement. She and the entire Colonnade staff were able to make our dream wedding a reality. The ultimate decor package is worth every penny. Their stock of decorations is amazing to pick from and we didn't have to worry about what to do with items after the wedding. When I dropped off a few personal items on Friday before the wedding the room was set up and looked amazing, more than I had even dreamed of. I have helped friends set up the day before and it is always a mad house of moving tables, rearranging decorations and people frustrated with each other. I almost felt guilty it was so easy as I went to lunch completely stress free.

Our friends and family have also not stopped raving about the food. The appetizers and buffet were amazing. The clean up service all night was on point and there was never a line at the bar. The Colonnade's service can not be beat!

I would recommend and book the Colonnade again and again if I had to. Our big day would not have happened and been as magical as it was without the Colonnade.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

If you're worried about guests enjoying your food, this is the caterer to use! They will take that worry away. Their food was phenomenal. I heard from multiple guests how delicious it was. They take care of everything and take the food and drink worries away when planning your wedding. They even cut, served, and packed up our cake from an outside caterer. They also took care of the bar and did a great job of keeping our guests happy :) More...

A five star review truly would not cover the way we feel about The Colonnade. Our 10/26 wedding was truly magical and more than we ever imagined it could be, all thanks to Kate and Beth. Kate made all of our dreams come true and allowed us to be the most extra and over the top couple! she was better at remembering the details of our day than I was, and I could always count on her for her attention to detail, her support, and her expertise. The decorations were beyond stunning and when they say it’s a full service venue, that is an understatement. The day truly could not have happened without her and her team. We owe all the beauty and smooth flow of our day to you. Thank you times a billion. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ More...

The Colonnade did our 9/7/19 wedding, and we are so happy we went with them as our venue. Beth was incredibly responsive in answering our initial questions and meeting with us very quickly to book the Corinthian room. After booking, Kate Volz was an absolute dream to work with. Her, and Beth, were truly available at any time to answer my dozens of emails and questions. Both ladies were very personable and mindful of our vision throughout the entire process. Kate and Beth's son decorated my room and 100% delivered on the esthetic I was aiming for. Our food was great, and the service matched, with us receiving many compliments on both. I can't explain how little stress I had regarding the venue, as I 100% trusted Kate and Beth to execute things. Katelyn was our day of coordinator and did a great job ensuring the night flowed nicely. Thank you ladies!! More...

My husband and I and our families cannot stop raving about the Colonnade! Once we booked them for our wedding venue, they took care of everything. Beth is an expert, and she helped guide us through all of the options at her venue. Kate Volz was our wedding coordinator and she took care of everything before, during, and after the reception.We were able to drop off our signage, photos, and all of our personal decorations to the Colonnade the night before the wedding. Kate was there to answer all of my questions and make any last minute changes that I needed. She went above and beyond anything and everything I could ask of her. Kate was also always around during our reception, checking in with my husband and I to see if we needed anything. She even had towels ready for after the cake cutting/feeding! Kate (literally) went the extra mile when she drove our forgotten cutting cake to our after party to make sure we got to take it home with us.The most amazing part about the Colonnade is their beautiful decor package. Beth and Kate took me, my mom, and mother in law through their decor pieces so I could choose what I liked. From there they created a beautiful set-up that my guests are still talking about. Their cupcakes were also a huge hit for our guests. Kate and Beth suggested a receiving line over at the cupcake table and it was the perfect way to greet all of our guests, and keep the line moving.I would recommend the Colonnade to any bride who wants an elegant, hassle free event that you and your guests will love.

I cannot say enough about The Colonnade Banquet Facilities and Beth!! Not only did she create the most beautiful reception hall for my wedding, but her staff was so incredibly helpful and friendly from start to finish. I bought the decor package and I would tell anyone to do the same. Beth has an incredible selection of all decorations and she is so very talented at bringing your "vision" to life. I gave her my "theme" and what I desired for my wedding and her creativity went above and beyond creating the most beautiful reception hall.

Beyond the gorgeous room, the food was delicious. All night, I heard great comments from people saying that that was the best wedding reception food they have ever had. From the taste to the way it was served, Beth has the best pricing you will find for the great quality of food you receive. I cannot compliment Beth and her staff enough.

As the night continued, Beth and her staff kept the night moving along smoothly. My reception was behind an hour but no one could even tell as Beth was working closely with my DJ and photographer to keep things going. I didn't worry a bit as they allowed me to enjoy my night.

Yes to the Colonnade! Just incredible. Simply perfect. They will create the wedding reception of your dreams!

I had my wedding reception here in December of 2014 and I STILL have people telling me how beautiful it was along with how great the food was! Beth was an absolute godsend to work with. When things didn't go as planned or when I ended up with a DJ instead of a live band, she had every trick up her sleeves. She was often available for new ideas and counsel on mine. Lastly, her rooms of decor are out of this world! I couldn't describe what I wanted but after asking a few questions and having me look at her stock, she was able to create the exact fantasy that were even higher than both my and my husbands expectations.

As we near our 1 year anniversary (WOW!), I must write a review for Beth and The Colonnade. First off, just the other day I was asked who made our cupcakes. .... THE COLONNADE, that's who. Seriously, my husband and I, and my family continue to get compliments on the cupcakes. If any bride is considering the cupcakes, let me just tell you to trust me- they. Are. THE. BEST. Don't even get a cake, use the money towards Beth's crew's cupcakes. And the food- don't skimp. Get the good stuff. I have yet to have better wedding food than what we had on our day. And decorations - to have someone use your ideas and make them better AND no prep/ clean up AND all at probably the most reasonable prices you'll find?!?! I could relive our wedding day every day, truly. Beth and crew, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for seriously the most beautiful wedding ever!!!!

Beth saved my wedding day!!

I had mistakenly booked a hall in which was unreliable and made false promises. I found out about the colonnade through my cake vendor and since then everything fell right into place.

I lived an hour away from the hall and Beth was very easy to work with from a distance. She quickly responded to any emails, calls, and voicemails I had. This is exactly what you want in a reception hall. What is also unique about the colonnade is it offers an exceptional decor package. Beth and her son did an outstanding job decorating the hall so I didn’t have to worry about transporting or setting up decorations on the day of my wedding! I received many compliments on how classy and elegant our wedding was. I also received compliments about how professional and accommodating the serving staff and bartenders were! Beth definitely keeps everything in order and is always with you on your wedding day and planning journey so your day is what you imagine it to be. If you would like a stress free wedding day, it would be wise to go with Beth at the Colonnade Banquet Hall!
