Madison at the Mill

Occupying the top floor of a 100-year-old Silk Mill in Orange, Madison at the Mill provides an industrial chic wedding and event venue with modern dashes. The former 1920s American Silk Mills factory produced the silk that would eventually become parachutes for both world wars. Today, the mill houses restaurants, small businesses and Madison at the Mill.

The indoor wedding venue is weather-proof with a ceremony room and a separate cocktail hour and reception space. Couples enjoy two getting ready rooms, a catering kitchen and two custom built-in bars along with plenty of space to mingle with guests and plan stunning photo shoots.

Madison at the Mill provides handmade reclaimed wood tables and Chiavari chairs in natural wood or gold. Decorate the reception space with your personal flair and dance on original 100-year-old hardwood floors under elegant chandeliers. Set up a band in the roomy event space. Step outside for private violet hour photos and orchestrate a festive sparkler send-off.
