Your AWESOME day!
On the biggest day of your life…
You want a venue that’s ‘right up your street’. Whatever that might mean to you. So whether you want minimalist chic, or full on decadence, Haarlem Mill delivers. With its edgy styling, exposed red brick, original beams and industrial lighting, its striking looks are the perfect backdrop for both modern and traditional couples. Dress it up with a flurry of blooms, or keep it simple with candles and festoon lights. Whatever you’re dreaming of, we can make it happen.
Choosing your date
Summer bliss or winter sparkle? Every season has something special for a wedding. And at Haarlem, we specialise in being an ‘all weather’ venue. So whatever the great British weather throws at you, there’s plenty of space for guests to enjoy, and cosy corners for the most amazing wedding pictures. So choose your ideal day, whether that’s midweek or weekend, - we’re open all year round apart from Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
Viewing to vows
Here at Haarlem, we are a close knit team of wedding perfectionists, who always strive to ensure your wedding day is everything you wanted, and more.
We’ll be with you every step of the way, from your first viewing and planning meetings, through to vows, dining and dancing, always offering the best possible service. Plus all our wedding planning help is included in your venue hire at no extra cost.
The Bridal Suite
Haarlem is an exclusive use venue, so it’s all yours from 10am on the morning of your wedding.
Kick start the day with your bride squad in our stylish bridal suite. With a full length mirror, curtained dressing area, and 3 make up mirrors, plus a toilet and country views, you can enjoy getting ready in a relaxing, private environment. With the same great interior as the rest of Haarlem, it’s perfect for pre wedding shots with your bridesmaids and family.
Take a weight off your mind and speak to your wedding planner about adding a continental breakfast to your morning for 6 guests or more. This space is available to use from 10am until 8pm.
The Upper Lounge
Next door your fiance and guests can gather and steady their nerves in the upper lounge with a fully functioning bar (taking both cash and card), and comfortable seating. The New York loft styling means it’s also a great space for your photographer to capture the pre-ceremony excitement.
The Ceremony Room
That moment when you finally get to walk down the aisle in a room full of love, surrounded by family, friends, (and even man’s best friend, as yes we do allow dogs!) Our ceremony room oozes historical charm and is a wonderfully intimate and welcoming space for 60 to 128 guests. With the same warm red brick that you’ll see throughout the mill, festoon lighting right across the room, and lanterns down the aisle, it’s perfect on its own or as a backdrop for your own styling.
There’s space for a singer or musician if you fancy, plus a sound system for your own playlist with Bluetooth or AUX connection available.
We are fully licenced for civil ceremonies, or couples can personalise their ceremony by using a celebrant. You can also choose to get married at one of the many lovely local churches and hold your reception at Haarlem. Just contact a member of our team to discuss the order of your day.
Congratulations!
Celebrate on the private terrace or upper lounge…
After your service you can choose to serve drinks and canapés either on the private terrace (weather permitting), which is accessed directly from the ceremony room, or in the upper bar. Depending on the time of year you can make the decision as late as the morning of your wedding to allow for changes to the lovely British summer time.
Photo ops
Whatever the weather, and whatever your preferred style, Haarlem Mill offers some unique photo opportunities. And while you’re relaxing in front of the camera, we’ll make sure to seek you out to ensure you get a taste of the drinks and canapés that your guests are enjoying!
Food with real Zest - The Banquet Room
Our banquet room can seat between 60 and 128 guests along gorgeous, long wooden trestle tables and vintage school chairs, for a super quirky feel. With festoon lighting, cutlery, crockery, glasswear, microphone and sound system all included, there’s all you need to enjoy a fabulous wedding breakfast and speeches. Take advantage of the ladder installation in our ceiling and large space to add in your own touches. Flowers, polaroids, photo booth, bands, gin bar - let your imagination run wild.
Our inhouse catering team, Zest4Events have a real passion for food. They’ve created a range of delicious, seasonal menus to choose from. Whether you opt for comfort food or fine dining, it’ll be freshly prepared in our kitchen with love.
Party ‘til midnight
After your meal, your guests will be invited to take their coffee in our lower bar and lounge, whilst we turn the banquet room around to create a wonderful party room for an evening you’ll never forget. We can accommodate up to 160 guests for your evening, with lots of evening food options to suit your style.

The mill has disabled access via lift to all of the floors and ramp access to the front and rear of the building. There are toilets on both floors with a disabled and baby change bathroom on the 1st floor. We also have onsite parking for up to 50 cars.
