"My husband and I had our wedding at Enterprise Mill and was catered by the Fat Man’s Cafe located next to the event room. Heather was amazing to work with and quickly responded to all of my many questions and concerns leading up to the big day. The venue was beautiful and everything went flawlessly. We did a day time indoor wedding followed by a luncheon and the food was delicious! I appreciate all of the hard work by the staff to make our day so special.
