Revolution Mill Greensboro Reception: Rachel and Kegan
Rachel and Kegan were married on July 20, 2019 at First Presbyterian Church in Greensboro, NC. Their celebration continued with a reception in The Colonnade at Revolution Mill. The couple has been together since middle school (keep an eye out for the photos below of some adorable scrapbook style gifts Rachel has made and gifted Kegan over the years) and are truly an amazing, easy going couple! We’re so thankful they chose our venue to celebrate their love with family and friends.
The Venue
Rachel and Kegan chose a cocktail style reception because their main goal was for their guests to mingle and have lots of fun. They hired an amazing band and handed out festive light up accessories for the dance floor which added to the party vibe. We provided interactive food stations, multiple bars and a late night snack so food and drinks flowed throughout the night.
What drew the couple to the Colonnade?
“The location is wonderful. We just loved the feel of the space with the exposed brick and wood beams. It was also so convenient to have another bar around the corner that us and our guests walked to after the reception was over!”
- Rachel and Kegan, Bride and Groom
The Vendors
“We are both from Greensboro and wanted to have our reception at a place that felt new to us instead of a place where we grew up going to events. Revolution Mill absolutely blew us away. Jaime was so calm throughout the planning process and answered all of our questions and concerns quickly and with ease. The night flowed so well, and she, along with my incredible wedding coordinator Mimi McGinn, made sure everything was thought of.
My husband and I got to eat quietly by ourselves before ever coming out for our first dance. We got to try all of the wonderful food that was being served and then got to mingle with our guests immediately upon the start of the event. This was a bigger gift than I imagined, as I am not sure we would have found the time to eat otherwise. Revolution Mill also kindly packaged up all of the leftover food and sent it back with us which was a wonderful late night treat for our friends.
Our band, Right to Party, was also INCREDIBLE. They played for over 2 and a half hours straight which kept the party going until the very end. They also learned how to play our first dance song which we really appreciated!” - Rachel, Bride

“The level of service was absolutely wonderful. There were multiple bartenders at each bar and no one had to stand around in line to get a drink or to get food. I also never had to think twice about when things would come out, and the timing was always perfect.” - Rachel, Bride
Rachel and Kegan took advantage of two of our campus neighbors and went for drinks afterwards at The Bearded Goat. For our couples who choose to utilize everything our campus has to offer, there are quite a few options to take advantage of, such as having your Rehearsal Dinner at a nearby restaurant such as Kau.
“It was truly the most perfect day. I was not stressed about a single thing, and it was more fun than I could have imagined. Having all your favorite people in one place to celebrate is the most humbling experience and we could not be more grateful. The reception was incredible, from the flow of food, to the service, to the band set up, it all went off without a hitch. We walked away from the weekend saying confidently, we wouldn't have changed a thing.” - Rachel and Kegan, Bride and Groom
We are honored to be a part of Rachel and Kegan’s love story! It was amazing to see their vision turn into reality with the fun filled reception they planned for their friends and family.
