A Unique Intimate Wedding Venue in Derby
Every wedding at The River Mill feels effortlessly personal. With exclusive use of our beautifully restored venue, you’ll never have to share your special day with anyone else. Instead, you’ll have a little piece of a UNESCO World Heritage Site that’s entirely yours. From the vaulted ceilings and exposed brickwork to our riverside garden overlooking the River Derwent, The River Mill combines Georgian architecture with contemporary styling to create a wedding venue that’s both relaxed and unforgettable.
Whether you’re planning a small wedding, an intimate celebration or a stylish gathering with up to 130 guests, our flexible space lets you make it completely your own.
Your Wedding, Your Way
No two weddings should ever look the same. That’s why The River Mill is designed as a blank canvas full of character. Dress it with flowers, candles and elegant styling, or let the industrial architecture and riverside setting speak for themselves.
From your first viewing to the final dance, our award winning team works alongside you to create a day that feels authentic, relaxed and unmistakably yours.
