- Is the food catered in or is it done in house?
The Mill Event Center does not provide its own catering services, so we will work with you to find one that meets your needs. We welcome the caterer of your choice, or we can give you some suggestions. We’ve worked hard to provide the amenities your caterer will need, including your caterer’s use of our licensed, commercial kitchen for holding, warming and serving your food. We even provide serving glassware (with a purchased beverage package), pitchers, trays and tray stands for your caterer’s convenience. Due to health regulations, you cannot prepare your own food, but we will happily work with you to find a caterer for your event. Or, if you prefer, you are welcome to prepare your food at home and bring it to the event. We even have space to park food trucks with electrical hook ups.
