Carsten’s Mill

Dating back to 1898, Carsten’s Mill was first built in the center of Brillion and quickly became known as the tallest building in Calumet County.

Today, Carsten’s Mill is a go-to destination wedding venue in Calumet County with its unique and historical features that bring all the charm. As you tour the venue, you’ll notice the warm, cream-city brick along the walls and shiplap ceiling. Each of these distinct characteristics truly bring the wow factor in this central Brillion gem.

On site, there are two rooms, the North room and the South room of which provide you the opportunity to make your day as picture-perfect as you’d like. In the North room, the shiplap ceiling adds all the ambiance to this designated dining space while the South room holds the picturesque ceremony. In addition, Carsten’s Mill has a movable bar that can be arranged to fit your wants and needs.
