Why We Love Olde Mill Inn
Olde Mill Inn has a charming, historic character with its ballroom and adjoining courtyard. One detail worth knowing is that the ballroom has lower ceilings than some comparable venues, which is exactly why uplighting makes such a difference here, it draws the eye up and helps the room feel taller and more open than it might otherwise.
What Entertainment Works Best at Olde Mill Inn
A DJ, hybrid, or full band all work well in the ballroom at Olde Mill Inn. Because the ceilings sit lower than at many comparable venues, we always recommend uplighting alongside whichever format a couple chooses, it pulls the sightlines up and adds a sense of height the room doesn’t have on its own.

Reception Entertainment Options

"Matty G was our DJ and we couldn’t be more pleased. He was fun and full of energy! He understood EXACTLY our music vibes! All our guests had a wonderful evening and danced the entire time! We would DEFINITELY recommended Elegant Music Group!"
"I had my reception at the Grain House Restaurant. Elegant Music Group was one of their preferred vendors. My husband and I decided to give them a call and so glad we did!!! We met with Tom who was very receptive with what we were looking for. He’s easy to work with and always returned our phone calls and emails quickly. He helped create a track that included a shortened version of 3 songs for my father-daughter dance and shortened my 4 minute first dance song with my husband to a little over 2 minutes. The tracks came out perfect! My family and friends all complimented us on the music and they are still talking about it!!"
