The Wimbish House

clearly the best venue for us. From the layout to the decorations (we got married around Christmas), the venue felt homey and inviting which was exactly the feel we wanted. It allows for an intimate feel but accommodating a decent size party. The beauty and detail of the historic home adds another layer of detail to the special day. The layout of the street level with the ballroom helps make such a great distinction between ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception. There was plenty of space for our guests upstairs, but the ballroom could get a bit tight depending on our guest count. We utilized the covered outdoor porch as outdoor seating. Even in December, you need a place to cool off from dancing! Karen and Mariana were an absolute pleasure to work with. I always got prompt answers to questions, which really helps keep things moving more than you realize.

re from out of town and they loved that they could walk from their hotel to the wedding, allowing them to avoid Atlanta traffic. From the moment you walk into the Wimbish House, you can feel how special a place it is. It is welcoming and elegant all at once. The upstairs area has a stunning bridal/groom suite. My bridal party had makeup and hair done on site, which alleviated any stress. Additionally, we never worried about the weather because the venue allows all wedding activites to be inside. My husband and I did a first look and there are countless areas around the venue that are perfect for brial portraits. There is a sign outside the venue that you can personalize, which is a sweet touch. One of the best perks is that you can bring your own alcohol to the venue, which saved money and allowed us to pick what we wanted to serve. But the most important detail about the Wimbish House is their incredible staff, especially Karin. Karin guided us through every detail of our wedding, from the moment we booked the venue to the last vendor driving away. She had so many incredible ideas and suggestions and has seen so many weddings at the venue that she knows what works best for the space. She was extremely patient with my parents, my husband and myself during the entire process, even when we would change our minds repeatedly. The entire wedding day flowed so easy. If there was an issue on the day of, I didn't know about it because Karin took care of it, allowing me to fully enjoy the day from start to finish. She kept us on time, yet never rushed us. She truly wanted my husband and I to have a perfect day and she delievered. The Wimbish House is a special space and we are so grateful we chose it for our wedding.

ch a sweetheart. She is very professional and works with you down to the wire to make sure everything you need from her for your day is in place. The natural beauty of the venue left my guest speechless and in awe of everything. I love it!!!! Thank you Karen and your staff, you guys are awesome!!!!

ated in the heart of midtown. Karin is friendly and welcoming and knows both the venue and rhythms of a wedding inside and out. She worked with us and our vendors to make everything run smoothly both prior to and on the day of the wedding, which helped my husband and I relax and enjoy the day. They are incredibly flexible with decorations and vendors (their list of vendor recommendations will help you find a perfect caterer, photographer, and more!), so our wedding felt exactly customized to our tastes while preserving the natural beauty of the house (which also meant less work needed for decoration!). Our guests raved about the Wimbish House, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have had both our wedding ceremony and reception there. It’s the perfect indoor venue in Atlanta (a fact were were especially grateful for since we got married on a day where the temps were above 95 °F!), and we can't recommend it highly enough!

ure we ate on our wedding night, and most importantly made sure everything ran on schedule. We had some transportation issues getting to the house from the church, and Karin was waiting in front of the house for us, drinks ready! The ballroom was absolutely beautiful on our wedding night, and we received so many compliments from family and friends. You will not regret using the Wimbish house (and having Karin) as a part of your wedding!

nd main point of contact) was phenomenal. She kept the day organized to a T and was an excellent communicator the entire process. We are so so grateful for her. Her hard work definitely did not go unnoticed by the wedding guests--we received many compliments from guests as to how well-organized the wedding was! Thank you so much to Karin and staff for the most beautiful wedding day!

Karin was so understanding and supporting. This made it so much easier to feel absolutely happy with our choice of venue. Karin also let us tour the place, once already confirmed, when my family was in town. Everybody loved the place, it is beautiful, and does not need a lot to be set for a perfect wedding decor. Throughout our planning, Karin provided recommendations and was super responsive, which is so nice when you are planning your welcome. Karin also was our wedding day of coordinator, and I cannot recommend this enough. She helped us prior to the day to make sure all of our vendors knew where to be at what time, and she created a wedding time-line for us, which was so helpful. During the day, she made sure everything went smoothly and was super helpful. For example, when we needed a thin glass for my husband to break after the ceremony (as the rabbi mentioned the one we had was to thick), she provided one within minutes. She also made sure we had a nice private moment after our cocktail hour and this was wonderful. I truly cannot recommend the Wimbish House enough and believe it is very fairly priced (and as you can bring in your own alcohol, you will save quite a bit there). We had an amazing day and could not have been happier with our venue! Huge thanks to Karin and her team!

d! It was like everything came together. The space flows so nicely and it is truly a wonderful day. You do not need much decoration because the venue speaks for itself. We hired Karin for our day of services and truly worried about nothing the whole day. It was her goal to make sure the bride/groom, and all parents worried about nothing and always had everything we needed and we did. I literally have no idea if anything went wrong and if it did Karin fixed it! She took care of all the vendors and details. Also - when you contract, they give you a packet with a ton of information. I researched a ton of my own vendors, but ultimately hand picked the perfect team off of Karin and team's list of recommended vendors. We seriously could not be more happy with the list and service levels provided on the list. We had an exceptional day and are so glad the Wimbish House was a part of it!

rin truly let me enjoy every moment and took the stress off of having to worry about anything. She handled all the little things and did a fantastic job! I was able to have fun and relax knowing that she would handle everything flawlessly. Throughout the planning process, Karin was very responsive and always available to talk me off a ledge when needed! The venue speaks for itself and is stunning - truly provides an old world feel in the middle of the vibrant city. It really creates the perfect environment for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and a super fun reception. Relaxing with the bridal party before the wedding in the upstairs suite area was a huge bonus. My husband and I particularly liked our post-ceremony dinner date upstairs in a private room to take a moment to just spend time together amongst the crazy day. I would highly recommend The Wimbish House for your wedding or another big event!

have their wedding here during November close to Thanksgiving, The Wimbish House puts up decor before Thanksgiving. We were not told this when we toured in January and we were able to get it pushed back. Other than that everything else was great. They have a person on staff to help you on the day off as well as a security guard. The venue is beautiful and really doesn’t require a lot of decor. I would definitely recommend having your wedding here, great venue and great staff (Karin and Karina)!

the fancy homey feel of the House. It felt like we were hosting our reception in a private home. We worked with Karin Holben and she was a dream to work with. We hired her as our day-of Coordinator and our wedding day went so smoothly. If there were any issues - we don't know because she took care of everything. She helped us figure out and streamline everything - our must-haves, our vendors and our day-of schedule. She has excellent taste and anytime I had a question or just wanted her opinion on something she replied promptly. We couldn't be happier with the service from the Wimbish House team and again, the venue is so beautiful.

etitively priced for an "in town" Atlanta venue. Highly recommend if you're looking in the 100-140 guest count range!

icey venue but with the Christmas decorations up - we received nothing but compliments.

eryone so well - I honestly cannot thank her enough for how wonderful she was. The venue is beautiful and if you take advantage of the MANY rooms in the house you will have some absolutely incredible photos :) PS - the ability to bring in your own alcohol made our day a hit; we were able to have the best of everything!

il hour, a beautiful patio, and a formal ballroom downstairs. We couldn't have asked for more and paid a deposit immediately after touring. Second - the SERVICE! WOW - the Wimbish house staff is amazing. We paid a nominal fee extra for Karin to be our wedding coordinator. She helped pull together final details and a day-of execution that was flawless. And for the bride on a budget, this venue lets you bring your own alcohol! =)

imbish team that sealed the deal. Seriously, Karin and her team made the wedding easier in so many ways. Other venue staff from other venues were pushy, stand-offish, and came prepared with a long list of things you could do at an added price. Karin was straightforward, passionate, helpful, and a dream to work with.

e and fell in love immediately. The charm and layout of the house were just fantastic. It was finding a gem in the middle of a central location with neighboring hotels (Four Seasons & Marriott etc) for easy walking distance for our guests. In addition, we recommend DEFINITELY adding on the day-of coordination the Wimbish House offers. I have been in several weddings myself, where the bride and bridal party are running around trying to get vendors in the right area, determining the correct timing, etc. Not only did our wedding go to schedule (no joke right???), but I honestly felt so relaxed and carefree to enjoy the time getting ready with my family and friends. If there were any hitches with the transition from first look, ceremony, cocktail hour, to reception, I had ZERO idea!! Karin and the Wimbish House team did a fantastic job!!! Our guests were impressed by the beauty of the Wimbish House (and we didn't have to do much decorating as well). And what we really appreciated as well was being able to hold all our events there. Truly an amazing experience.

ved so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was from all of our guests. We also had a lot of out of town guests come in to town for our wedding so it was ideal to have our wedding walking distance from some of the most beautiful hotels in Atlanta. The list of caterers the Wimbish offers we're outstanding (we went with Chef Cary's Cuisine and we're extremely pleased.) Being able to bring our own alcohol was also a big seller when looking for venues. And last but certinely not least is the amazing Karin. We added on the day of services that Karin offers and could not have been happier. She made the whole process of putting the wedding and timeline together so easy. She was felixible when we wanted to make changes and listened to our concerns and some of our "different" (moving tables during the reception, fingerprint hearts during the ceremony). If you think it and want it included in your wedding... Karin will find a way. On the actual wedding day, Karin goes above and beyond! She helped decorate and make sure that everything looked beautiful while I was upstairs getting ready, not having to worry about anything. Once the ceremony started Karin kept the whole evening on track so that things went flawlessly and if there were hiccups.... I didn't know about them. The Wimbish house is the perfect wedding venue for an unforgettable wedding and the addition of Karin will ensure a flawless wedding day/evening.

utiful and spacious. A 12 hour time period for our wedding made sure we weren’t rushed on the wedding day. Our wedding was during the Christmas period, and the house had some Christmas decoration at that time, but it was very tasteful and pretty and not overpowering at all. We and our family were all very pleased with the venue!

ices, they help tie all of the pieces together and ensure everything ran perfect on our big day. I've received so many comments from friends and family on what a great time they had and how much they loved the reception. I don't think I could have had a better experience anywhere else in Atlanta!

the day of. They have done a ton of work / renovations to the building but it still has an old timey victorian style. We loved having our wedding there!

se. I am SOOO glad we did! For the price, there is literally nothing better in Atlanta. I'm sure of it. If you're looking for a gorgeous venue with a homey feel (like, straight up Great Gatsby mansion) and incredible customer service, stop shopping. This is your place. Full disclosure, I was hesitant at first to book the venue because I was worried about the ballroom; it didn't woo us like the main part of the house did. In fact, after booking, we almost decided to close off the ballroom and just utilize the main part of the house. But instead we took a chance, brought in a bit of uplighting, and had the reception in the ballroom. It completely transformed! It was jaw-dropping stunning. Trust me, a little lighting can go a LONG way. All of our guests had an absolute blast. Everyone commented on how beautiful the entire venue was. The acoustics in the ballroom are killer, too! To continue, the venue manager, Karin, is a godsend. She was like a second wedding planner to me throughout the entire process. She bent over backward to accommodate us and several of our vendors, including coming into the office to let us in at early hours and odd days, suggesting specific vendors for us for odd needs (like a coat attendant), and so much more. Booking here was one of the best decisions we made, in the end. I already did all your shopping for you, so you should just book here now and save yourself some much-needed time and bridal energy. :) Truly, you will not be disappointed. I promise.

available!

aning across those massive 60 inch round tables. The Wimbish house worked very well. Karin answered all our questions and helped us arrange the day just like we'd hoped. We had the ceremony downstairs in the ballroom and guests came upstairs to the main part of the house for some hors d'oeuvres and champagne until the ballroom was flipped for the ceremony. Afterwards we were able to enjoy the whole house. Music was downstairs along with food. We had food and bars upstairs and downstairs and were even able to use the porch. The house does have a preferred vendor list but was willing to work with others. They also allowed us to bring in our own alcohol which helped keep costs low. All in all, I loved how flexible the space and the policies were. It definitely gave us the freedom to orchestrate our day the way we'd imagined it.

and I was so happy with her team. You can bring in your own alcohol, so that opened up some major budget room. So friendly and professional. I highly recommend the Wimbish House!

ferent locations, but as soon as we saw the pictures from The Wimbish House we knew our search was over. The Wimbish House is absolutely stunning inside, and it accommodated the amount of guests we wanted to have perfectly. There is also a certain charm that surrounds the house that is often hard to come by, and we also loved the fact that it is a mansion surrounded by the skyscrapers of Downtown Atlanta. Our guests were exceptionally impressed with the Wimbish House and complimented the venue immensely. The only thing to watch out for is that there is a nightclub that also hosts private events right near by and if you are planning to have your ceremony at the Wimbish House, make sure it doesn't clash with any events at the nightclub, because if it does you may have some seriously unwanted bass coming through during your ceremony. We didn't have any issues with noise from next door, but I figure this is something other brides might want to know. Overall, we were so happy and pleased with the Wimbish House,it was the perfect venue for us, and we couldn't have imagined having our wedding anywhere else.

ized and ready to help make any wedding day a sucess. The location is perfect for a "city" wedding and made it fun for my out of town guests. The pictures proved what a perfect location the Wimbish House was for my wedding!

s!). Beth Beery, who will be your contact there, is extremely well organized but also a bit strict/stern with their rules and whatnot. Overall we were thrilled with the venue, but we did find it more expensive than we would like.

own vendors. It's definitely for smaller weddings, 150 guests or less. The only disappointment was the event coordinator, who wasn't the most pleasant.

was transformed! The place was beautiful and needed very little decoration. Beth was great to work with and helped us think through a lot of the logistics. A lot of our guests were from out of town and they were excited to go to a wedding in the city where they could walk to the hotel and to a lot of attractions. Basically, the location was awesome, the people were very helpful and friendly, the space was gorgeous and we would 100% recommend this venue for ceremony and reception!

ect the guest well on parking, so they would park in the parking lot next door which was more money than the assigned parking lot.

venues in the city.

ng techno music. Luckily I was in too much of a jitter fog to notice. I highly recommend amplifying the officiant and soft-spoken speakers for this reason.
