Maureen Heslip2025-03-31 Dawn and her team did an exceptional job in handling our event. She was truly an angel who rescued me (my event was on short notice) and created a memorable experience at the Manchester Mill on the Water. The entire event went smoothly due to Dawn's team's proactive and genuinely caring approach. She helped me every step of the way and responded quickly to my questions along the way. I would not hesitate to hold another event there. They were fabulous! Zeus & Hercules2025-02-22 The people who manage this venue are awesome!
