#1Motley's Mill Historic Waterfall Estate
Motley's Mill Historic Waterfall Estate is a 25-acre wedding and event venue on the banks of the Banister River in Chatham, Virginia, anchored by a cascading waterfall on the site of one of the county's largest historic mill dams. The current mill structure dates to 1904; owners David and Diane Miller reimagined the property in 2016 as an event venue. Features include a concrete stage built over the old mill's stone ruins, a courtyard with a wood-burning fireplace, a saltwater infinity pool, and an in-ground waterfall backdrop for ceremonies. The Chalet hosts receptions for up to 200 guests, while the Villa offers two separate entrances and multiple bedrooms for getting-ready and overnight stays. The venue also serves as a corporate event space and hosts elopements and vow renewals.
