Built on the historic Empire Cotton Oil Mill, Empire Mills encompasses the charm of the turn of the century property and blends the modern with the old. banquet hall, 4,000 sq. multi-purpose room, and a cozy bridal or staging suite. Empire Mills was originally built in 1913 by the Empire Mills Cotton Company. The original cotton gin sits in the center of the property and has been transformed into

a beautiful space suitable for a chapel, music hall or event space for up to 200 guests. The Banquet Hall runs parallel to the train tracks with many of the original bricks and bay doors still intact. With the addition of three enormous locally welded iron chandeliers, the Banquet Hall offers rustic elegance for events of up to 500 guests. It is flanked with an interior courtyard which features the original red corrugated metal blacksmith shed and antique syrup kettle fire drums. Also on property is a bridal cottage which served as the original office for the mill, and a separate room with loft space where the groom and groomsmen can relax in style with a wet bar, comfortable sofas and a flat screen television. Hallie Duan purchased the dormant property in 2012 and within the guidelines of the Georgia State Historic Preservation Division and the National Park Service, has renovated and restored this beautiful gem; while adding modern design elements and amenities. Within the property sits Hallie Jane's Catering. The area’s premier catering company provides an array of eclectic, masterfully created dishes sure to exceed the expectations of the most disciplined of pallets.

Let’s talk lighting design ✨ Every detail matters, and for the Roman wedding, lighting was key to setting the mood. Caroline and Luke chose a dual approach: a soft, intimate glow at the dinner tables for warmth, and a bold, glamorous installation near the dance floor to elevate the night’s energy.

Credit to for making the ambiance as magical as this occasion deserved 🕯️🥂

Our walls have witnessed over a century of history, and after a loving restoration, they’re ready to witness your special day. Providing a textured backdrop for your wedding photos, our original brickwork tells a story of its own.

Complementing this story is the vintage ‘Pittsburg Safe Co.’ safe, nestled in the wall of the Silver Star Suite, which served as the original office safe for the Empire Oil Company in 1913.
