    I can’t say enough good things about Union Mills. They have a full liquor license and the most amazing in-house catering. Niko and Mary are the owners, and they’re the most down to earth, and easy going people.

    They truly helped to make our wedding day so perfect.

    Niko is also the head chef, and my guests have not stopped talking about how good the food was at our wedding. I can truly say the food was exactly the same excellent quality at our wedding, that it was at our tasting. Everything came out piping hot and was absolutely delicious!

    I’ve also met servers who have worked for him and they’ve all said he run the cleanest and most efficient kitchen they’ve ever worked in.

    Our guest were also so impressed with how efficient the bar was. We had about 150 guests, and no one had to wait in a long line the whole night because Billy kept the bar moving so fast and efficient! The drinks were ABSOLUTELY amazing. It was super important to me to offer alcohol removed options for my guests, and Mary went out of her way to make sure there were options stocked for us. They were beyond accommodating. They were a WONDERFUL venue and we are so, so grateful to have picked them for our wedding day!

    Union Mills Public House was the perfect venue for our wedding celebration. From the moment we first reached out, the staff was open, informative and incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, their attention to detail and seamless execution ensured everything ran smoothly. The space itself was absolutely beautiful – the exposed brick walls, high ceilings and elegant decor created an exquisite and intimate atmosphere that our guests raved about. The food was also outstanding, with many compliments on the quality and presentation. We are so grateful to the entire team at Union Mills Public House for helping make our special day truly unforgettable.

    We cannot say enough good things about Niko, Mary, Billy and the entire UMPH staff who made our wedding day extraordinary. The level of care and commitment this team took to ensuring our day was special was unparalleled. From the food to the beautiful cocktail space and grand ballroom it was everything we wanted it to be. Not to mention the 105 degree heatwave day in June, they kept our guests cool and calm in the midst of a bitterly hot day. From the minute we booked Niko took care in making sure we understood exactly what we were paying for with no hidden surprises. Mary took care of the bridal party morning off as the ladies were getting ready and Billy ensured the front of the house was smooth sailing during the reception. Many guests commented at how smooth the entire event went and it’s a testament to the great work of Niko and team (along with Sarah from Sleeping Bee who was one of UMPH’s preferred day of coordinators). I would highly recommend UMPH for your Frederick destination wedding.

    We were introduced to Union Mills during the Frederick Wedding Expo, and we loved the look of the place. The look of the venue speaks for itself, the exposed brick and the killer chandeliers really encapsulated the vibe we wanted. Our vendors also appreciated the more practical set-up of the space for ease of use (lighting, access to power, entrances, etc.), showing the expertise with which the venue was designed. The space is also totally handicap accessible, from parking to ramps within the venue itself, which was necessary for some of our guests. We were planning the wedding on a short time frame, and Niko and Mary were incredibly flexible with our needs. Their background in hospitality showed, we always felt that our big day was just as important to them. They had connections to vendors in the area and helped us narrow down who would be best for our needs. We were worried about the menu and bar package given our group had some pretty varied dietary restrictions, but their options were totally customizable all in-house, our guests had plenty of great choices. All of the staff were friendly and professional, the day ran smoothly from setting up the ceremony, serving drinks, flipping the room for the reception, and serving dinner. We highly recommend Union Mills as an event space and are appreciative to Niko and Mary for helping us!

    April 2024 bride. Niko and Mary from Union Mills are beyond experts in putting on large events! The day was seamless, leading up to the day it was so easy to reach them, they were flexible with changes, and they were so reassuring throughout the process! These two make throwing a wedding easy! The venue has everything you need and is gorgeous! Can’t recommend them enough!

    We saw this place, and we loved this place. It’s a cozy, warm, well equipped place. There’s tons of parking available, the bar is gorgeous, the whole aesthetic is magnificent. Not only that, they can take care of the meal for you. The person in charge is also a chef and he did an amazing job at our party!

    We booked Union Mills while it was still under construction. While we were unsure what the final product would look like, we knew that we wanted to work with Niko. Turns out, the final product was gorgeous! And our suspicions about Niko weren’t wrong, either. He was generous and accommodating throughout the whole process. Nothing is cookie cutter. He wants the catering to match your vision 100 percent. Did we mention the food was delicious? Niko’s catering skills and having a kitchen on-site made for a great culinary experience. We are so grateful we were able to host our wedding in Downtown Frederick in a venue that perfectly showcases the town’s historic roots and charm.

    We booked our wedding when Union Mills was still under construction. Niko in his team were fantastic! They sent us updates on construction and worked so hard to make our special day perfect. The venue turned out even more beautiful than I could have imagined and the food was SO good! We had a bunch of dietary restrictions and they came up with Vegan entrees and a gluten free dessert so that all of our guests could really enjoy the celebration.

    Union Mills was the perfect venue to bring my husband and I’s dream wedding to life. The in-house catering not only made the planning process easier, but the food was amazing; it was clear Niko wanted the menus to represent us as a couple and was receptive to all feedback to make the day perfect (even going as far as outsourcing an Italian delicacy we love to have it there!) The catering staff was fun, polite, and accommodating to any allergy need. The venue itself is BEAUTIFUL and matched our Black Tie aesthetic perfectly. With the chandeliers, Carroll Creek location, exposed brick, newly renovated cocktail hour space & bridal suite, our choice was easy. Both Niko and Mary maintained clear, efficient communication throughout the whole process, even once the wedding was over and it was New Year’s day to follow up on a missing item. I could not recommend this venue more!
