255 Milledge | Hardeman-Sams Estate

I cannot recommend 255 Milledge highly enough! From the moment we began planning, their team went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our wedding was perfect. They were incredibly responsive and professional, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. The venue itself was stunning, and they truly made our dream wedding come true. Their exceptional service and attention to detail made our special day unforgettable. So thankful for Megan and all of her help. If you're looking for a wedding venue that combines elegance with top-notch service, 255 Milledge is the perfect choice!

255 Milledge was the most perfect venue for our day! I've known the owner, Kim, since I was a little girl and when she toured me thru this beautiful place I knew she had something special in it. Both Kim and her team, especially Megan, are outstanding. We had everything covered incase of bad weather to the point that I was perfectly content with if it rained because I just knew how well it would all be handled and flow. I thankfully had a beautiful sunny day where all of the features of this historic home and garden got to shine

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! My husband and I got married at 255 Milledge in April of 2024, and it was better than anything I could have ever dreamed of. Working with the staff at 255 is SO easy, and they work tirelessly to make your dream wedding come to life. Their bar service and florals are outstanding, too. If you're looking to get married in the Athens area, this is literally the only spot you should consider. Their grounds are impeccable, the house is beautiful and historic, and the staff are organized, detailed, and professional. Every single guest that attended our wedding said it was the best wedding they had ever been to... the flow of the event is smooth and the property itself is gorgeous and unique. It really is genuine, southern hospitality and I would recommend this place to anyone!

I can't thank the venue at 255 enough for providing the perfect venue for our daughter's wedding! The minute we walked in to look at this venue, we knew this would be the ideal venue for Kristi. The recommended vendors and their seamless collaboration removed any stress from the planning of this wedding. The venue's natural beauty enhanced by the flowers and decor, perfectly captured the vision Kristi had in mind. On the day of the wedding, Kim and her vendors were on-site, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. The Knot, wedding website, provided ideas to help in the vision and invitations. Jackson and June, event planner, worked with Kristi and Billy at least once a month, then week, then day, to be the go between person for all of the other vendors. This includes the florist, photographer, Epling Events, the caterer, and Five Points Beverage Store. I apologize if I have left anyone forgotten. If you are looking for a venue with a beautiful, natural setting, and professional guidance to provide the "wedding of their dreams", it would be wise to check out 255 Milledge in Athens, Ga. You will also be able to enjoy the wedding without stress. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Linda and Rick Hagauer

My husband and I got married at 255 a few weeks ago and it was the most perfect day ever! Kim and Megan are exceptional at what they do and go out of their way to make sure that you have the best day ever! They go above and beyond in making sure the day is going as smooth as possible. Megan was my go to person throughout the entire process and was always helpful with any questions I had and was great to work with! My family and I were also so grateful for her help with my 97 year old grandma that was able to join the ceremony after we were uncertain if she would be able to come. This meant so much to my family and I and we were so appreciative of her! Additionally, Kim takes pride in 255 and ensures that it's in pristine condition!! They are constantly updating the grounds and incorporating new features to elevate your experience. I really cannot recommend them enough, they were such a joy to work with and we will never get over how perfect our wedding day was!

We just got married at 255 Milledge and used them as our wedding planners and in house florals! The wedding day could not have gone more smoothly! The flowers were jaw-dropping and everything I dreamed of. The house is gorgeous and makes for the best ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one place! We have had so many compliments from guests about how amazing the venue was! It was the perfect place to get married in Athens! I would recommend 255 to everyone!!

My husband and I got married at 255 in September of 2023 and it was truly the wedding of my dreams. The entire day went of without a hitch, their whole staff is truly astounding! They were able to accommodate all of our requested needs whether it was regarding serving food, bar services, the ceremony space, anything! All the individuals who work here are lovely and were truly a pleasure to plan with, they are the kind of people you want supporting you and creating your dream day! All of it was perfect, the grounds of the venue are breathtaking and unlike any of the other venues we toured such as ballrooms, farms, barns, churches, etc. There was just something so elegant and special about this space. I wouldn’t have wanted our big day to take place anywhere else!

255 was a beautiful venue to have our wedding! The garden is gorgeous, and you wouldn’t believe how many people and their chairs can fit in the green space. Bonnie, Kim, and Meghan were so kind and helpful throughout the process. It was so nice to have a calm and put together team by my side during the process and our wedding day. I can’t recommend this venue enough!

We had our wedding at 255 Milledge on 10/08/23 and I could not have imagined a more magical day! The staff was amazing and took care of everything. The day of if anything went wrong I did not know it. The venue is beautiful. I never imagined myself having an outdoor wedding until I saw the garden. We also used them for our florist and the flowers were beautiful. Overall everyone was professional. Everything went exactly as I wanted and we were so happy. Highly recommend.

Using 255 Milledge was an absolute dream!!! While living in Athens, I visited 255 as part of planning a party for my boss and I absolutely fell in love with the property. Years later, once I got engaged I knew it was where I wanted to get married! We toured and my mom and fiancé fell in love as well. I cannot state enough how nice it is to have everything available on the property. From getting ready, to the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. No transportation needed! We booked immediately! Throughout the planning process the 255 staff were so helpful with recommendations for any vendor I could think of, tips, tricks, and promptly answering my tons of questions. We had a handful of calls in our year leading up to the event to ensure they understood our vision and could execute everything perfectly. In the month leading up to the big day, we worked with our coordinator, Megan, who was absolutely fantastic. She was on top of all the details, knew how to time everything perfectly and made sure our day went so smoothly! She was so even keeled and helped us feel so confident for our wedding day. Everything went perfectly, and we truly had the most beautiful day without any issue! I would be remiss if I did not shout out Kim and Bonnie as well! They were so fantastic throughout our planning process and so helpful. I would recommend 255 Milledge to anyone looking for a wedding venue in Athens. They are truly the best in the business with the most beautiful property!

I could have not asked for a better venue…. The moment I stepped foot on property I knew this was the one. It was the only venue I toured and signed within the hour!!!! Upon meeting Kim and her team, I knew they had the eye and expertise to bring my vision to life. I used them for month of coordination and day off and they absolutely killed it. I was able to be so hands off and trust that they would be bringing my vision to life. It was better than I could have even imagined. I joke and say this to her but I truly mean it, Kim and her team could run the country!!! Megan and Cortney were an absolute dream to work with as well. They were to attentive and helped me with all of the big and small details. They kept me calm the day of. Even the tiny details did not go left unnoticed- even my bridesmaids were like wow they mean business. Kim greeted us on my wedding day with a smile and a mimosa bar as well as alka seltzer and Advil hahaha they just knew all the small touches that made a huge impact. I cannot thank them enough for literally bringing my dream wedding to life and being so efficient and exuding an extreme level of excellence. I am very picky and they blew every vision I had out of the water. I love you guys and thank you SO MUCH!!!!!! Best day of my LIFE

I cannot say enough good things about 255 Milledge venue and their entire staff. From the minute I stepped foot on the venue— I knew it was the one! During the day, it is gorgeous and green, and as evening rolls around, it becomes absolutely magical with the garden and string lights… It is obvious the venue is extremely well kept and taken care of. In addition to the stunning venue, the staff is top notch. Everyone goes above & beyond throughout the entire planning process as well as the day of to make everything flow as smoothly as possible. We had the most AMAZING wedding day here & I am so grateful to the 255 ladies! Highly recommend!!!

My husband and I just got married here August 3, 2023 and could not have asked for a more perfect wedding venue! Kim, Bonnie, and Meghan were incredible!! The day of the wedding, a storm hit knocking over all reception decor and soaking the linens. Kim and Meghan were extremely on top of working with my coordinator on rain plan options. They had everything replaced and in order for all potential discussed rain plans. Luckily, right before the ceremony began, the rain stopped and we were able to have our dream garden ceremony and reception. 255 was so open and excited to all of our ideas for the wedding and brought them to fruition! I can't recommend them enough to anyone looking for a perfect wedding day!! Thank y'all!! -Hanna and Josh

The Hardeman-Sams Estate is breathtakingly beautiful. This was truly a perfect venue for our classic southern wedding and rehearsal dinner. The attentive staff was not only very professional , they made our wedding weekend the magical event we had hoped it could be.

My husband and I got married here on 5.6.23 and it was the most magical day thanks to the amazing staff at 255 Milledge. The venue was absolutely gorgeous, the in house florals made planning incredibly easy, and the wedding coordinators at 255 Milledge truly made our day perfect. Since the in house florals and coordinators are so familiar with the venue, they know exactly what needed to be done. I went to Kim with my vision for the wedding and she did just that and more. I am usually an anxious person, but the team at 255 Milledge made everything so easy. Not once did I feel overwhelmed in the wedding planning process. Everyone has said it is the most beautiful and elegant wedding they have ever been to. I couldn’t have put all of it together myself and I am so thankful for Kim, Megan, and Bonnie to help me make this dream come true. If you book at 255 Milledge you will NOT be disappointed and your wedding day will be a dream come true. I cannot say enough good things about this venue and the team there.

The best wedding experience ! Kim Moss and her team were above and beyond expectations. They provided guidance from the start to finish . The venue is spectacular it offers tons of space to prepare for the big event for the bride and groom . The venue provides a beautiful setting for the wedding and reception . The location is convenient to accommodations and restaurants for guests to enjoy . Thank You 255 Milledge for making our bride and groom have such a memorable day !!

We hosted our son and new daughter-in-law’s Rehearsal Dinner at 255 Milledge a few weeks ago…the guests have spoken and many said they had never been to such an amazing pre-wedding event! The venue is gorgeous and laid out so well for a cocktail hour, dinner with toasts and video, and the garden out back made for a gorgeous “night before” welcome party with drinks , fun photo memories and music. Kim took great notes during our meetings and I had full confidence she would deliver on all fronts— and she did!! And then some extra! It was a night many of us will remember forever 💕

From the moment we found 255 Milledge online, our hearts were hooked! Lucky for me, my husband happened to know the Moss Family and when I finally met Kim during the tour, I knew this venue had to be the one! Kim & her team were so diligent and communicative throughout the wedding planning process. We also hired Georgia Grace Weddings as our coordinator and they work very closely with 255 Milledge. So any ideas we had, GGW & Kim made the perfect team to make our wedding vision come true. Any concerns we had on our wedding day, they helped to take care of us & our needs. We loved how gorgeous our ceremony & reception turned out, and we received nothing but wonderful comments on how beautiful the venue was. If we had to choose our wedding venue again, we wouldn't hesitate to pick 255 Milledge!!!!

We just got married at 255 last weekend and I had to take a moment to sing their praises. Guests pulled us aside all night to compliment the venue. It is absolutely beautiful, well taken care of and has a very intimate feeling - which is exactly what we were looking for. Kim and Bonnie answered all questions promptly throughout the planning process and made sure our wedding day went off without a hitch. Also - the location!! It was so fun to be in the heart of Athens and able to scoot downtown afterwards for a bit. 10/10 recommend!

My husband and I got married at 255 Milledge 4/29/23 and I can't express how wonderful of an experience it was! Kim, Bonnie, and the entire staff helped me the entire way, starting from the day we selected 255 as our venue. All the ladies had wonderful communication, design ideas, and suggestions that helped everything come together spectacularly for our special day. Everything was organized on the online portal as far as payment deadlines, reminders, etc which was such a huge help as a bride who is juggling a million and one things. Kim was wonderful with vendor recommendations as well and truly made the planning process a seamless experience. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and the garden in the back made for the most breathtaking ceremony spot. April was a wonderful month with lots of flowers in bloom! The bridesmaids and groomsmen suites are clean and well decorated. Truly the perfect spots! Even staff members I had never met the day of our wedding were willing to drop what they were doing to help me, all with a smile on their face. I can't recommend 255 enough if you're looking for a beautiful and memorable wedding venue!

After having my wedding at 255 Milledge, I cannot say enough good things about the 255 venue and their entire team!

This is the most beautiful venue and would recommend it over and over again if you’re looking to get married. We had the most magical day here & the staff is incredible. Absolutely love 255 Milledge!

Our wedding experience was fabulous! Our son and his bride were so happy. The grounds looked beautiful and the day was perfect. Kim and her crew were consummate professionals. The details and coordination made us feel relaxed and able to enjoy this glorious day to the fullest. I highly recommend this venue and all of the staff!

We hosted a bridesmaids luncheon at this incredible estate and I don’t have enough words to describe how pleased we were. Every single detail was perfect! Kim and Bonnie were so easy to work with. They are very responsive and handled all the details with ease. Kim was on site the day of our event and she was an incredibly gracious hostess who made our guests feel welcome and comfortable. We also had their in house florist do table and mantel arrangements and they were beyond gorgeous. I highly recommend 255 Milledge for any special event - 5 stars in all aspects!

255 Milledge was the most perfect choice for the rehearsal dinner for our son and his bride! We didn't have a lot of time to plan, and the entire staff made this the most beautiful night. Kim's professionalism in all things, her attention to detail and her helpful suggestions gave us all the answers we needed. Their communication and work with our caterer was phenomenal. Nothing was overlooked. We were all so very pleased, especially the bride and groom. I cannot recommend them enough.

We cannot overemphasize the experience we had at 255. The entire team went above and beyond to make our day perfect. They are in a class of their own when it comes to event execution. Communication is streamlined, details are valued, and that doesn’t even cover the talent. Do yourself a favor and use their in house floral design. Every detail was tasteful and timeless. We had a great time getting ready there, and it was a perfect venue to relax and prep for the day as you got to watch the excitement of all the pieces coming together. 255 was the 1st decision we made for the wedding, and we truly can’t imagine our vision coming together without them!

We had our rehearsal dinner here, and we cannot recommend this venue enough. Kim and Bonnie were great to work with, kept the process fun and the communication/updates were seamless. My mother-in-law had a great time planning this special night for us and they went above and beyond to make our dream come to life. Our rehearsal dinner guests are still talking about it- the party of the year!!!

I cannot say enough great things about this venue and Kim! The entire team went above and beyond to give my husband and I the perfect wedding. In addition to handling the venue, they gave us the most spectacular florals in the world and I am so happy we went with their team. Guests are still telling us how amazing the venue and flowers were!

Kim and her team were fabulous! They always made time for calls leading up to the wedding. The venue is gorgeous. Their florals and design were unmatched. We would get married here a thousand times if we could :)

We got married at 255 Milledge in September and it was a wonderful experience! Kim and her team were incredible, making sure that every little detail was taken care of both before the actual wedding, during the wedding, and after. Plus Kim was just so pleasant to work with in general. The gardens are beautiful and make the most exceptional backdrop for wedding ceremonies. We could not have asked for a more perfect experience, and highly recommend this venue!

255 Milledge was the perfect venue for a rehearsal dinner we hosted in September for our son. It was truly a night to remember, from the amazing indoor areas and the lovely outdoor gardens, to the lighting, music and especially the beautiful floral arrangements they provided. We are so grateful to Kim for her expertise and attention to detail, ensuring a smooth and flawless event and a magical evening for our guests. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for the loveliest setting in the Athens area.

Stunning, Beautiful, Fairy Tale, Epic Wedding....those are all adjectives we heard about my daughters wedding that was held at 255 Milledge! Kim and her staff were THE BEST and offered absolutely amazing service! Our guests were all blown away by the beauty of 255 and all were saying it was the best wedding they ever attended! The venue is stunning inside and out and the photographs turned out very unique! Kim is second to none when it comes to helping you on your dream wedding journey!

The venue is absolutely gorgeous, Kim and her whole staff were so easy to work with, and everything came together to create the most perfect wedding reception for our daughter and son-in-law who got married on the west coast earlier this year. Kim not only did a lot of behind-the-scenes work with vendors and us seamlessly...she was also the absolute best hostess, she was everywhere during the reception, taking care of all the tiny details you won't think of: guests arriving late (where should they go? Kim took care of them!), people handing cards to the couple and their parents (Kim was there to graciously intercept them and keep them all in one place!), the bride and groom change their minds about what they'll do doing cocktail hour and the first meal (no problem, Kim's got this!), a couple wardrobe malfunctions (Kim to the rescue!), unexpected rain (don't worry about a thing, Kim's not worried, she has it under control!), packing up stuff at the end of the night (Kim's right there waiting...and everything is accounted for). Really, we had the most magical evening: a beautiful, historic backdrop to a fun, love-filled evening. We can't thank Kim, all the fabulous vendors, and everyone at 255 enough, we were in good hands from the beginning to the end. It was perfect.

255 Milledge was the perfect place for my dream wedding! We toured in August and when I walked in I knew it was the perfect venue for me, I fell in love with the house and the beautiful garden. We also booked it at the perfect time because they were redoing the back which turned out spectacular!! Kim is a godsend and I really don’t know how I would have made it through wedding planning without her. Kim was always checking on me and seeing how wedding planning was going and answered any questions I had! The day was so perfect and I really don’t believe anything went wrong especially since Kim and her staff did an amazing job with keeping everything on track! So thankful for 255 Milledge because they gave me the wedding day I could only dream about!

What an amazing wedding reception venue! My daughter got married June 11, 2022 and we chose 255 Milledge for the reception. First of all, Kim Moss, is amazing and a wealth of information! When we booked in September, she was welcoming & so helpful. We met with her 3 to 4 times throughout trying to show our vision of what we wanted the reception to be like. About 2 months before the wedding, we decided that we wanted Kim to do the last month of coordination. The best decision we made!!!! Well worth the money because Kim took care of every detail that last month from making sure the vendors show up at their stated times to telling us how much time each bridesmaid had to get their hair done to passing out Mardi Gras beads at the wedding to making sure Lil Ice Cream dudes treats were getting to the guest while we just enjoyed the day. My daughter wanted to get ready at the house with her bridesmaids and take pictures with her groom & wedding party. The day was amazing and I was able to be there with her and the whole group! We had a friend bring in lunch & mimosas, then the boys came, followed by the grooms parents then all of the grandparents. Then came the reception which was an absolute blast! From the introduction of the new Mr & Mrs to the dance party, it was truly a magical night! While the guest went out front for the sparkler send off, the newlyweds had their private last dance of the night. This day was everything we wanted and more! We were able to enjoy every second because of Kim Moss and the beautiful venue, the Hardeman-Sam’s house. Lili and I can’t thank you enough for making this day a day of our dreams! Thanks Kim & your amazing staff!!!

Excellent venue. Kim Moss was helpful throughout as we planned our wedding. We had to change dates about six months prior and 255 adjusted with no problem. Wonderful experience overall and everyone had a great time at our reception.

Kim and Matt and the rest of the 255 Milledge team are simply amazing. If you are considering booking their venue for your wedding - do it! I recently had my wedding at the venue and cannot say enough to thank them for all the hard work and meaningful intentional details they put in to make my day a true dream come true. There was never a point in the process that I or my family or my fiance felt unsupported. They are truly the best cheerleaders and point persons for your day. I was really impressed with how equally professional and inviting everyone at 255 Milledge is. They made us feel heard and important while also offering excellent advice. Kim is one of the most competent and accomplished women I have had the pleasure of working with and she's also so kind and makes you feel truly special. The physical space itself is beyond beautiful from the twinkling lights to the well-designed outdoor bathrooms to the well-maintained historical details inside...there wasn't a single space in this venue that made me pause for even a moment. I saw the venue both before and after the renovations and was blown away by the work they have done. Before the renovations, the venue was a stunner on its own...after the renovations, it is an actual fairytale for any bride or groom. I can't say enough...use 255 Milledge they will make your dreams come true!

Wow! It’s hard to find the words to describe our experience at 255 Milledge! Kim Moss and her team are simply amazing! Every detail, every step of the way was handled with great attention and professionalism! My daughter’s wedding was truly a dream come true. I will always treasure the memories made that night. Amazing staff, stunning venue….. perfection!

255 Milledge exceeded our expectations in every way possible from the house itself, to the beautiful gardens and new landscaping they had done recently, to Kim herself and her team! I cannot recommend it enough. Kim and Bonnie were always there to answer any of my (many) questions and were always there to help along the way of planning our wedding. They made the process so seamless and as less stressful as they could for me. Kim has such a gift when it comes to coordinating a wedding, she made everything happen so smoothly and she completely exceeded our expectations. This is the best place to get married in Athens and I would recommend it over and over again!

Kim and her team are unmatched when it comes to taking care of their clients. They made us feel like family and did not miss a single beat. They pour their hearts into their work and their passion is undoubtedly the best in the industry. Please don’t hesitate to book your event here. It is truly magical!

After months of searching, I landed on the most beautiful wedding venue in the city where the love of my life and I first met. It could not have been a more beautiful, special day and all of my guests were raving about how gorgeous 255 Milledge was. I'm so glad we happened to book this venue after their new renovations were complete, because it really elevated the grounds even more beautiful than they already were. The staff here were beyond accommodating with all of my requests and really helped the vision of my wedding come to life. I'm especially grateful for when a few days before the wedding, my brother had to go to the hospital and they were incredibly sympathetic and were able to assist us with various needs. Thank you Kim, Bonnie, Matt, and all of the assistants on the day of for your amazing service!

Where do I even begin? If you are considering 255 Milledge - stop thinking about it and BOOK IT! This team was amazing to work with from start to finish. Kim, owner and planner, made the process so EASY and made me feel so confident about all the vendors and decisions that were made. She was honest and told you what she truly though what would work best while bending over backwards to make your vision come to life. I also had the joy of working with Matt, the in-house florist. He was just as great as Kim and went above and beyond to make everything beautiful (& it was!!). Even the team members I didn't meet until day of were so welcoming and there to help with anything or get us anything we needed. My family is still getting phone calls about how beautiful everything was from the cocktail hour on the front lawn, the beautiful house, the gorgeous new renovations. I could type forever, but in short, this is the venue you should book!!

Kim and the 255 Team were amazing. From the beginning of the wedding planning to the ending was absolutely perfect. Everything that I had a concern or problem with they handed it for me, and I could not thank them enough for everything they did. The florals was also done by them and Matt executed it perfectly. He sincerely has a true talent with designing and making your vision come to reality. Thank you Kim and the 255 Team for making my dream wedding come true!

I cannot recommend this venue enough. It is absolutely gorgeous, especially with the recent renovation (the bathroom is fabulous, as weird as that is to say!) and Kim Moss and her team are a bride’s dream to work with. They continuously went above and beyond my expectations and worked seamlessly with my other vendors and partners. The team is responsive, professional, kind and most importantly, they are advocates for you as a bride to make sure your day is spectacular.

255 Milledge and all their employees were absolutely fabulous! Kim and Matt went above and beyond to help my daughter have the wedding of her dreams. Everything was beautiful and exceeded our expectations. My husband and I highly recommend 255 Milledge and their team for any event!

I can't even describe how amazing it was to get married at this venue. All of the individuals that helped us out were amazing and supportive. Kim made the planning process so smooth, brought my ideas to life, and Matt made my flower dreams a reality. Everything went flawlessly that day and I couldn't have asked for more!

I cannot begin to express my gratitude and appreciation for the 255 Milledge team. Leading up to the wedding Kim and Matt were so easy to work with and answered any question I had or problems we might run into. The day of the wedding it ended up raining, which for some brides would be your worst nightmare. Not with the 255 Milledge team by your side! They were in constant communication with my wedding planner and I on the different options we would have for the ceremony. When the time came there was a slight drizzle, and they made the most gorgeous ceremony under the tent with the garden as the background. They assisted guests with umbrellas and escorted them to the ceremony spot. They made sure everyone stayed dry and went above and beyond for us. Kim, Matt, and the rest of the team I didn’t have a pleasure of meeting- are the best in the business hands down. I will forever recommend them to any couple looking to get married or anyone who is looking to have an event in Athens!

As the mother of the groom, I was blown away by the professionalism of the staff of 255 Milledge. They were so friendly and accomodating. Matt Riley provided the design work and florals for the rehearsal dinner and it was elegant and simply beautiful. For the wedding, it was absolutely gorgeous. Matt does an amazing job and I would recommend 255 Milledge and their team in the future.

Choosing 255 Milledge to host our wedding was the best decision we made in our planning process. From day one they were just a quick email or phone call away. We were supposed to have our wedding in 2020, but unfortunately had to reschedule to 2021 due to the Pandemic. Through that very emotional process Kim and her staff were there for us, and went above and beyond to reassure us that everything was going to be wonderful. The venue is absolutely beautiful, you will be making the best decision choosing 255 Milledge for your special day!

The Hardeman-Sams Estate is the most picturesque and perfect venue in the heart of Athens. The staff is amazing and bent over backwards to make sure my special day was just that! Kim is fantastic to work with and was very accommodating as I planned my wedding from across the country. I can't say enough good things and highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a gorgeous space close to downtown and UGA.

We are so very happy to have chosen 255 Milledge as our son’s wedding venue. We also hired Kim Moss as our wedding planner and day-of coordinator. From the beginning, Kim worked with our son and his bride to realize their vision of a Southern bohemian-style wedding. She was flexible and gracious in every situation that arose. Despite the challenges of a Delta surge, the wedding went off without a hitch. Our guests commented on what a warm, intimate and beautiful wedding it was. We highly recommend 255 Milledge.

Our wedding could not have been more perfect, thanks to 255 Milledge team! The venue is beautiful, the staff members are so attentive! My husband and I enjoyed every second! The bridal and groom suites are very spacious. I highly recommend this venue!

My husband and I could not have imagined a better venue or group of people to work with. 255 is absolutely beautiful with the blooms, greenery, and historical house. Kim was incredible at getting things done for us and staying organized, while keeping everyone's minds at ease. We felt so deeply cared for in the entire process and the day itself was magical. :)

We hosted our a wedding rehearsal dinner at 255 Milledge. Kim is super helpful and great at offering suggestions to make the event special. We used in house catering and the food was great. On Kim’s suggestion we served the bread pudding with a grand marnier topping for dessert and it was wonderful. The event was well organized and led in to a beautiful wedding at 255 the next day. Highly recommend.

We had our wedding at 255 Milledge during Summer 2021. It was important for us to pick an outdoor venue due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the beautiful garden at 255 would have been able to accommodate our guest list of 150 people had everyone been able to attend. After falling in love with the venue, we also chose to hire 255 Milledge as our month of coordinating team. One month out from the wedding, we met with Kim Moss, the owner, and briefed her on all the planning we had done and any outstanding items/concerns. She took it from there and handled it all… day of timeline, lunch for the band, event space layouts, communication with the vendors, etc. Our wedding day went so smoothly. Kim and her team were there to greet us first thing in the morning and didn’t stop working until after we left. The entire staff was friendly, calming, and anticipated all of our needs. As the bride, I expected to be asked more questions on the day of, but never once did they need to ask me for anything. It seemed as if they took care of everything that could have potentially gone wrong. Kim even managed to catch my veil as a huge gust of wind took it out of my hair during my walk down the aisle. My only warning for a budget conscious bride would be that the cost of rentals was much higher than I originally anticipated when I created my wedding budget. Since it is primarily an outdoor venue, we needed to rent a tent, fans, lighting, dance floor, stage, and an extra generator. All in all our wedding day was perfect and I know that was primarily thanks to Kim Miss and the whole 255 team.

I had the privilege of having my May wedding at 255 Milledge and I can't recommend the venue enough. Kim and Leigh were so responsive and attentive and made me feel like their only bride when I know they had dozens of others with just as many questions and needs. If you want you and your guests to feel special and taken care of then 255 is the place. It also doesn't hurt that I'm still getting comments from guests about how beautiful the venue was! I cannot recommend 255 Milledge highly enough.

My husband and I can't say enough good things about this venue. From the first tour of the venue to the last guest leaving on the wedding night they went above and beyond. Leigh and the entire 255 Milledge staff were so supportive and easy to communicate with. Anything we needed they quickly took care of. It rained on our wedding day and we had about 20 guests of our 100 person wedding not show up day of. The staff were amazing at adjusting tables and chairs so that it wasn't obvious to our guest how many people were missing. Even though it rained and we weren't able to do our ceremony in the gardens we had a beautiful ceremony under a tent on the paved area. On the bright side since we didn't do the ceremony in the gardens we didn't have to move chairs around to get pictures! Overall our wedding was amazing and I cannot recommend this amazing beautiful venue enough!

Kim, Bonnie, Leigh and the entire 255 staff were truly outstanding!! We had to postpone our wedding due to covid and 255 was so supportive throughout the entire process. They worked so hard to help us find a solution that worked for everyone involved. 255 is a venue that is for their clients and helps bring to life the perfect day. We could not have picked a more perfect venue and staff to have worked with for our wedding!

255 Milledge is the absolute perfect and best place to get married! From the first moment I visited the venue, I fell in love with the house and the grounds. Kim and the entire 255 Milledge staff make sure that you feel truly welcomed and supported. My wedding day was the best day of my life, and know it would not have been the same without Kim and her incredible team. The day of the wedding every person worked tirelessly to make everything come to fruition. 255 is classy, elegant, and just plain fun!

We could not be more thankful for 255. Our original wedding date got postponed due to the pandemic - also our original wedding venues could not accommodate us for our new date of 5/29/21 so we were really stressed trying to find another venue and basically had to plan a second wedding. Once we found 255 we were blown away by its beauty, its staff and everything in between. They welcomed us with wide open arms and took care of every thing. Our stress of having to replan an entire wedding quickly disappeared. The owner Kim is amazing and so easy to work with. We could call or text her at any time and she would have an answer almost immediately. We hired the florist/designer Matt and he did an outstanding job. The wedding was more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. He is so talented and so easy to work with- I’d trust him to do any and all flowers and decor for any event! Leigh, the wedding planner, was also amazing. She was very educated and experienced and was so pleasant to work with. All of the other staff members who helped out were so kind, so helpful and made the day absolutely perfect. The groom and I seriously could not be more grateful for 255. The three words that come to mind when thinking about 255 is “consider it done”. They handled EVERYTHING. They are truly amazing people to work with and I highly highly highly recommend this GORGEOUS venue for your wedding.

I love the venue space at 255 Milledge! It is so incredibly beautiful and so well kept up. Kim, Bonnie, Leigh and their staff are absolutely lovely and were so incredibly helpful on the wedding day!! The only con I have is that 255 was a little hard to get in touch with through out the wedding process... but when I was able to get in touch with them they answered every question and were so accommodating!

We couldn't be more thankful to Kim and Leigh for everything they did for our wedding. They went above and beyond to make our dream wedding come true and it turned out to be more than we ever dreamed of. We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID-19 it was originally going to be in 2020 however we ended up having in April 2021. Kim was very understanding of the situation and helped us reschedule without any trouble. We did floral/decoration/full wedding planning/bar tenders with them and it was amazing. Matt did a wonderful job with the flowers and all the decoration. Leigh helped us so much with all the little details we had and was always available and ready to help whenever we needed her. The day of our wedding was a full rainy day, they handled the situation so well. They had several rain plans in place 1 week before the wedding and the day of the wedding they were so understanding of our needs and what we wanted. They had a rain plan to do the wedding inside the house but at the last minute the rain stopped for about 2 hours and they changed everything for us to be able to have our fairy tail wedding outside in the garden. They also handled everything so well accommodating our guests. They basically made our dreams come true and we ended up having the most wonderful wedding and it was the best day of our lives. We are so thankful/grateful with the whole team. We recommend it with our eyes closed 100%, if you are looking for a dedicated team to take care of your special day then 255 Milledge will be the place to have your wedding.

Throughout the 1.5 year planning process, the 255 Milledge team never proactively reached out to us except for when a payment was due. When we had questions and reached out to them, it would take multiple emails and follow-ups to get any sort of response. When they eventually responded, many of our questions still went unanswered. This became a recurring theme. We had questions about the property, the rentals they offer, their bar packages, etc and had to email them multiple times to get any information. You would think they'd want to tell us about their rentals and bar packages up front as a selling point (more $$ for them)? It felt like pulling teeth to get this information. Once we finally got the info we requested, we noticed differing prices from what they sent to our wedding planner vs. what they sent us. We confronted them about this, and they told us they accidentally sent an old version to the wedding planner but would honor that price anyway (as I respectfully thought they should). When the wedding day arrived, rain and inclement weather impacted our event. After a 15 minute downpour just before the ceremony, the garden was flooded and we were told the ceremony could no longer take place there. When the rain stopped, my son-in-law took it upon himself to find a squeegee and clear the water from the garden, as the venue staff stood by and watched. When the reception began, we quickly discovered the bartenders we hired through 255 Milledge were inexperienced and did not know how to make basic drinks. Guests were showing them what to do which was very embarrassing. The bartenders also did not have some of the mixers that were included in the bar package we purchased with 255 Milledge, so they were unable to make some drinks entirely. My biggest advice if you are considering this venue: read everything they send you very carefully and get EVERYTHING in writing. We were told that many things were included with the venue that ultimately were not. It felt like they were nickel and diming us for each little thing we asked them as the wedding day drew near. We were also told that if there is another event the weekend of our event, that the two brides could share the cost of a tent since the rental companies usually drop the tents off on Thursday and pick up on Sunday/Monday. As wedding day got closer, Kim told us there wasn't an event on Friday, so we wouldn't be able to 'tent-share.' She failed to mention that there was an event on Sunday and she would be providing a tent, decor, stage, bar, and shelves for them. (OUR tent, decor, stage, bar, and shelves.) She even had the nerve to post photos/videos of this event on the 255 Milledge Instagram page, so that we could see our rentals and decor being used at another event the very next day. To say we were angry is an understatement. When we called Kim to discuss this inconsistency, she was extremely defensive and hostile. She refused to compensate us for the use of our tent or even have a respectful conversation with us. It was our hope to not have to leave a review, but we were left with absolutely no choice. My daughter works in the wedding industry, and knows the value of reviews, both good and bad. She and I agreed that brides and their families deserve to know about our experience with Kim and 255 Milledge. Despite the beautiful setting, we could not recommend this venue in good faith to any family choosing a location for one of the most important days of their lives.

255 Milledge is an incredible wedding venue. The house, the details, the garden, are all so beautiful but the best part about having our wedding here is the team at 255. They are WONDERFUL and offer everything you need to have the most magical day. They offer in house coordinating and florals and decor, both of which we used and I would recommend to absolutely everyone. Bonnie and Kim helped us throughout the entire planning process and were so welcoming and helpful. Leigh was our coordinator and made everything so easy for us and our guests, the entire wedding day flow was flawless and so enjoyable. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Matt did my florals and decor and WOW, he is talented and so creative! We had so many compliments from our guests on how much fun they had and how friendly the staff were. We loved having our wedding at 255 Milledge!

255 Milledge helped make my wedding the best day of my life! The venue was everything I hoped it would be. Kim and Bonnie were super easy to work with and were very helpful in answering any questions we had or solving any problems we ran into. The venue is beautiful. We had both the rehearsal dinner and wedding at 255 Milledge and they made sure the 2 nights felt different enough for the guests who attended both. The bridesmaids suite and groomsmen room were both perfect for getting ready. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and ran smoothly. I can't thank 255 Milledge enough for being the best venue for our wedding! I will forever recommend 255 Milledge to any brides!
