THE JOURNAL
September Tasty Tues
As the leaves begin to change and the air takes on that familiar crispness, there's no better time to come together as a community. This past Tuesday, The Millhaven welcomed the fall season with open arms—and what a celebration it was! The cooler temperatures provided the perfect setting for an outdoor gathering, making it both comfortable and refreshing while surrounded by friends and neighbors with the soft hum of live music in the background. It's these little moments that make fall truly magical.
First Bubbles & Blooms
We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the support and enthusiasm from our community. Initiatives like the Bubble and Blooms workshop wouldn't be possible without the collective effort and participation of each one of you.
Your presence made the event a success, and we can't wait to see the fruits of your newfound floral design skills. We hope this workshop has inspired you to appreciate the simple joys of life—like the beauty of a well-crafted bouquet or the cheerful bubbles of a mimosa.
Stay tuned for more events in the future. We’re already buzzing with ideas, and we hope to see even more of you next time. Thank you for making our first Bubble & Blooms workshop a blooming success!

A Warm Welcome
At The Millhaven, we had the honor of hosting our very first Choose Marshall council meeting. It was an opportunity that we knew held the promise of nurturing new relationships and fortifying our community's spirit. We were not only introduced to community leaders but also harnessed a collaborative spirit that promises a bright future for Marshall. We all left with a renewed sense of purpose, eager to roll up our sleeves and get to work. Here's to many more meetings, stories, and collaborative efforts as we shape the future of Marshall together!
Tasty Tues - Back to School
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to each and every one of you who made our summer so special. Being part of this vibrant, caring community is a joy and a privilege. Whether you’ve been a regular at our events or plan to join us in the future, know that you’re the reason Tasty Tues thrives. Your warmth, enthusiasm, and support are the building blocks of these cherished gatherings.
As the school bells ring and routines settle back in, we’re already gearing up for our next Tasty Tues. Every month promises new surprises, mouth-watering food, great company, and unforgettable moments. We can't wait to continue this journey with you, celebrating the things that make our community unique.
Here's to many more Tasty Tues events filled with laughter, delicious eats, and the best company one could ask for. Cheers to us all!

Lunch is Served
Whether you’re picking up a charcuterie board for two for an elevated dinner at an evening game or a long overdue lunch date with a friend in our café, we are so excited to serve you!
Look at You!
The sweetest vision is the one where you walk blindly through obstacles and impossibilities with only trust and faith to guide you, then experience the moment when you are finally able to open your eyes and see what was meant for you all along. Our pride and joy, we see a little of ourselves within her walls. A soul that has been tired and weary. One that experienced long, dark nights. Desolation. Then without warning, her soul springs back to life and begins to flourish. Old markings remain on the walls to tell of a life once lived, lessons learned. But new light has entered and those markings are now only a memory that disappear into dark corners. Laughter now echoes and fills every inch. Oh, the memories that will be created in this new book!
If You Build It..
Marshall, you knocked our socks off this evening! Shrouded in the haze from the Canadian wildfires, you descended on our little corner of town and matched our excitement over the possibilities that lie ahead! During our first Tasty Tues, all five food trucks ran out of food, kids and adults alike enjoyed the simplicity of lawn games and conversation while live music was present in every corner of the property. We watched our dream come to life. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Gather & Grow
“If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together.”
We’ve had so many adventures and collected so many friends through the years, and for all of us, those relationships are the most important part of the journey. Wedding professionals and former clients have been our biggest cheerleaders through every stage of our career. What a gift it was to be able to bring a group of 150 of the industry’s finest to our sister property, Greencrest Manor, and then to pamper them at Millhaven and cast our vision of the next chapter.
Door to Possibilities
We couldn’t be any more in love with this transformation! What was once a rolling garage door for construction equipment is now the elegant entrance that will have your wedding guests swooning! But just wait until they step inside and stand beneath the soaring ceiling… You have a one-of-a-kind love, why would you settle for an ordinary wedding venue? Schedule a tour today!
Greenhouse Dreams
Imagine an intimate wedding for 50, a space for celebrating a retirement, or a holiday party lit by candlelight.

We have grand plans for this space! What do you envision?

Which ones did you follow or still plan to?

The Stage is Set
We have been hard at work around here tying up all the loose ends to ensure that everything is ready to welcome members of the Marshall Chamber of Commerce for our ribbon cutting ceremony!

Our First Event
We were so excited to give The Millhaven it’s first trial run with a small group of friends and family from the community who believe in our little passion project! Jenn took a few minutes to share her heart on what brought her to The Millhaven and how the town of Marshall won her over. With the first event under our belt, we are thrilled to begin a season of gathering! Hold on, friends! It’s going to be good!
Parrot Tulips
These fascinating, twisted little beauties are bringing us all so much joy this spring! Did you know that parrot tulips, found in our garden, are children of the nuclear age in the 1970s? Growers used to apply radiation to their fields to mutate Holland’s best beyond recognition! Obviously, we’re a little wiser now and growers can propagate them using less dramatic techniques.
Spring Dreams
The chill has us all still donning our down jackets but the tulips don’t seem to mind! Outside the She-Shed, these gorgeous blooms are filling our whole sun with warmth!
She-Shed
The She-Shed has become a favorite hideaway at our sister property, Greencrest Manor. With the development of The Millhaven, we knew we wanted to create this little haven in the middle of the garden for our bridal parties for hair and makeup or simply provide a quiet retreat to take a breath and soak in all the excitement of the day!
A Grand Entrance
Our first set of custom crafted french doors have gone in! And we are completely smitten!
