The Wimbish House

rstand the vibe.  After a conversation with Karina, we booked our venue with no physical showing, Karina did a virtual walk through and everything turned out wonderful!  The customer service, the place is gorgeous and the value is perfect.  I loved that you get the entire building to yourself for the day.  It was a day to never forget and the WH helped make that possible.  Run, don’t walk!  

our event. It was a nice bonus knowing that we were also supporting the Atlanta Women’s Club’s charitable activities. We’d recommend this event space for any occasion.

se and team for your professionalism and responsiveness. Our dreams keep coming true and you all are a part of it. #ThomasPromise

reception. Having the upstairs for people to mingle was great for the cocktail party vibe we wanted. Karina was wonderful to work with for planning and if there were any issues the day/night of the wedding we didn't hear about it. The night was perfect and our guests told us repeatedly it was the best wedding they've ever attended. I highly recommend The Wimbish House and Karina!

ess of planning and running the event. Karin coordinated everything to perfection and kept things on course the whole night long. Our guests had so much fun and had great things to say about the event space. We would definitely recommend The Wimbish House as an event venue!

ied there on October 25th of this year and Vicki was our wedding coordinator. She was so helpful throughout the entire night and made our lives infinitely easier! Can't recommend the venue enough!!

d kind throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend having your wedding here! :)

ple too, since everything was already so beautiful without adding much at all!), and Karin and Vicki were super easy to work with throughout the whole process as well. They and all their chosen vendors are honestly like a well oiled machine--they are all familiar with each other and that made for very easy, low touch efforts from my husband and I. The ceremony and reception space are spacious and beautiful, and the surrounding areas inside the house were great for cocktail hour. I especially loved the private upstairs area for us to drop all our things and have private moments.

l we wanted. Plus, Karin the Venue Manager made everything run so smoothly, I was truly stress free day-of. I highly recommend if you're an Atlanta bride!

f activity of hotels, restaurants, and entertainment for guests within walking distance) and does not require a lot of work to make it beautiful (the ballroom and parlors are exquisite). Karin was our wedding coordinator and she made the entire process easy and stress-free. She helped us with everything and made sure nothing slipped by during the planning. The staff is all incredible and they have such great connections with other vendors (every vendor we hired said they already had such great memories of events they worked at Wimbish and I can see why!). You cannot go wrong booking this venue!

hat the coordination services provided by Karin just wasn't up to the level my expectations beginning with my rehearsal that lasted all of 20 minutes. Karin seemed, simply put, just ready to go. I did run late on my day of (who doesn't) but once I arrived at the venue, it was simply a mad dash. I walked down the aisle not completely ready, and a very important part of my "big reveal" was skipped over. Now, this is my fault because I didn't stand up for myself and take an extra moment. But nonetheless, your coordinator is supposed to be support for you on your big day and I hardly felt supported. Additionally, The Wimbish House's contract changed after I signed mine. I was reassured that my original contract still stood and was fin, however, it was not when it came down to the nitty gritty. An additional perk from hiring Karin as your coordinator was that you received an extra 2 hours with the venue. I never received these hours. When it came time to pack up, my vehicle was jam packed with items that Karin and her Team just haphazardly threw in leading to a few of my items breaking. Again, the venue is beyond perfect and would choose it again in a heartbeat but if I could go back, I would choose a different coordination service.

of her team made the wedding planning and big day amazing and so smooth. It was great to get to have multiple spaces to enjoy in the house - the ballroom for ceremony and reception, the living room for cocktail hour, and the upstairs for getting ready. The holiday decor they have up is beautiful and added so much charm. All our guests raved about Wimbish House too!

disappoint in photos/videos. My guests were impressed with the aesthetics and impeccable service. I highly recommend booking your celebrations here!

ouldn't recommend this venue enough!

om suites are spacious and elegant and the whole downstairs has more than enough space to not feel like your guests are crowded. The location is perfect. I love how it's a historic home right in the heart of midtown. It felt like we had our own private mansion for the day! Karin, the venue manager, is outstanding. She coordinated the wedding day of and everything was perfectly executed because of her. I can honestly say everything went smoothly because of her. There were no hiccups or misses and she made the whole day stress free. I would highly recommend The Wimbish House to everyone!!

helped decorate the venue how I envisioned it. A few guests felt that Karin played the role of bad cop well - she knew when to stay firm with her decisions to ensure everything ran smoothly. Definitely would recommend having your wedding at the Wimbish!

come up to me to tell me that she was being rude or giving an attitude. This was very embarrassing for me to hear how she was treating my guests. Overall, I did not feel like I could trust anything she was doing after having other vendors coming up to me to tell me that she was lying about mistakes that were happening and keeping information from me that could put me in danger. This was not what I expected from her and was very disappointed. Like I said the venue in itself was great just not the company.

e in good hands when we took a tour. While I did most of the planning, Karin dialed in the details and offered cherished advice on what would work best given our own preferences. We had a guest count of 117 people. We held the ceremony in the ballroom, then went into the Lucy Willard room upstairs for a private moment with champagne and appetizers. Meanwhile, the ballroom was flipped for dinner service and guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres on the main floor. After dinner, guests moved back up to the main floor for dessert and coffee in the conference room, and 3 tables were removed to open up the dance floor. All of these moving pieces/flips worked seamlessly thanks to Karin's direction, and multiple times guests told me how much they loved the opportunity to walk through the rooms on the main floor. It was truly a perfect venue for the vision of our wedding day, and we can't thank the Wimbish House staff (and our other vendors) enough for the perfect evening. One thing I will recommend, even though it looks so beautiful and photographs well, is not having candles in the aisle for the ceremony. We had a few clumsy guests knock them over, but thankfully Karin and crew came to the rescue swiftly and gracefully. We had no idea it had even happened until later on, and that's the kind of crew you want on your wedding day: one that makes mistakes unnoticeable. Thank you so much again for a wonderful wedding day!

f classic elegance with a modern twist. Karin and Karina were incredible coordinators who made the day so effortless and easy, and I feel like because of them we really were able to just enjoy the day. Our only concern when choosing this venue was traffic and parking, but this ended up not being an issue at all. The ballroom is beautiful and the bride and groom suites were far above any of the ones we saw at other venues!

r/VIP spots. The upstairs suites are lovely and spacious for getting ready- I truly can not emphasize enough how pretty this entire house is. Other historic homes we toured felt so cramped or didn't have the same flow for guests to move comfortably during the flip from Ceremony to reception, and the central location can't be beat. It's BYOB which makes things cheaper and more flexible, and the staff are great (definitely hire Karin for coordination)

loved seeing my guests fall in love with it. It elevated our entire day. Karin was my coordinator and answered all my questions leading up to the day. I had a ton of different vendors and decor and she made it all come together beautifully without missing a beat. Only negatives: the list of preferred caterers is pretty limiting price wise. I used an off list caterer and it was a challenge to make sure we could follow all of the venue policies (there are several, since it’s a historic home). But even after paying the $2000 off-list catering fee, I paid thousands less than I would have if I used their preferred caterers. I also noticed that Wimbish provided a lot less than other venues I toured- you basically just get tables and chairs, so you need a lot from your caterer. Parking is a bit of a challenge, as is navigating to the venue if you’re unfamiliar with midtown Atlanta. While there’s a lot right next to the house, it’s not cheap or very secure. Again, despite very minor issues, I would absolutely recommend Wimbish, and Karin and Karina, to everyone.

just the beautiful house, however, is the high quality of service and care that Karin and her team provide. Karin took such good care of my (now) husband and me. She took all the stress off of us and allowed us to truly enjoy our day. We are so thankful that we had our wedding reception at The Wimbish House and would enthusiastically recommend it to anyone. -Rebecca

ried about all the little details the day of the wedding, but Karin made it easy for me to just relax, because she had everything taken care of! I would definitely recommend The Wimbish House and Karin for a wedding!

enue. The Wimbish house has multiple areas to use. The main ballroom downstairs was used for the ceremony (we had almost 100 guests), then switched over to dinner seating and dancing. The main level (elevator available) has a cocktail area, the lobby area, a formal dining room where we displayed a cake and had a slide show, and the porch outside. Plenty of space for people to mill about. The house is already beautiful without having to add decorations, which is a huge money saver. Having the main level area was especially nice after dinner when the music was going strong, so that my husband and I could chat with guests in a quiet area. The second story has multiple spacious rooms for the bride to get ready, another for the groom, and a few more for whatever needs you may have. Even though the area is large, it was cozy to be up there with my daughter. Karin, our wedding coordinator, was amazing! I cannot say enough about her skills in controlling the many aspects of a wedding. She is always level headed and calm, no matter what is going on, and she is so good at corralling everyone and getting them where they need to be. She was extremely responsive to any questions or concerns we had during the months leading up to the big day. She also had so many great suggestions that made the wedding day so much more special. She’s been doing this a long time, and has a wealth of knowledge concerning anything wedding related. My daughter made the best decision ever when she booked the Wimbish House!

friends and family in the beautiful house with both inside and outside spaces. Venue is extremely convenient to hotels, activities, and restaurants.

azing before the big day. We had Karin as our wedding day of coordinator and I don’t know what we would have done without her. She made our day perfect and made it run so smoothly. This venue is the most beautiful spot in Atlanta, and the people are wonderful. The spot and the staff made our wedding day perfect. Please look consider those venue for you wedding day if you are wanting to get married in the Atlanta area! You won’t regret it!

rities the Bride and Groom. I know many things went wrong due to not having supportive in laws. However, she handled all situations and she did her best to just let us enjoy our special day. I had no idea so many things where going wrong until the next day, luckily they were all handled. I found out that in a situation my mother and law even requested to walk me down the aisle!?! Luckily Karin told her "Absolutely Not" that was something my dad as a father of the bride is suppose to do. Thank you so much for having my best interest at heart !

with managing our day of coordination, she had both patience and punctuality which was greatly appreciated. I would recommend The Wimbish House for anyone who is looking to tie the knot 😊.

th them, everything ran so smooth and was seriously perfect. Everything We dreamed of and more.

before the wedding and also so helpful coordinating the day of. Overall we had a great experience with The Wimbish House!

count. There's ample room throughout the main level for cocktail hour and the bar and the ballroom is STUNNING for ceremony and reception. The space is so ornate that very little extra decorating is needed. Additionally, it's located in the heart of midtown and is so convenient. You are required to have a day of coordinator and can bring someone externally or hire within...HIRE WITHIN!!! Hire Karin Hoben. She is GAMECHANGER!! She's extremely organized and professional and she helped our day go so smoothly. My mom multiple times day of and since has said "Thank goodness for Karin". She knows all of the vendors in and out, really does a fantastic job of understanding your vision and making it happen, and is highly regarded within the Atlanta Wedding space. She'll coordinate all of your vendors, make sure your planning and information is accurate and on track and help you execute your dream day. She's very responsive and quite frankly, a master. Look no where else for your venue or your day of coordinator, the Wimbish House and Karin Holben are the ultimate jackpot. Thank you for everything you did for us!!!!!

iately added it to my list of venues to tour. Truthfully, I knew this venue was "the one" from the moment I walked down the stairs into the ballroom...instant tears! During this walk through, I also hit it off with Karin and knew she had to be the one to coordinate our wedding. You can tell how professional and buttoned up she is, plus she truly knows and loves the house and property. We were initially supposed to get married at Wimbish in May 2020, but then COVID had other plans for us. When everything shut down at the end of March 2020, Karin was an absolute lifesaver. She was quick to act and communicate with our vendors, and was so patient and understanding with us. I know that she was dealing with a ton of brides at this time but constantly made us feel like we were her priority. We ultimately had to reschedule twice, but as they say, the third time's a charm. We were finally able to be married at Wimbish in August 2021 and it far exceeded our expectations. Karin and her team were on top of EVERYTHING: from managing vendors, to keeping things on schedule and anticipating our every need. They made it all look easy, and we KNOW that it was far from easy. Beyond the incredible service we received, the venue itself was absolutely breathtaking. Many of our guests were local and very few had every been to Wimbish before. They were all completely blown away by the space -- it truly is somewhat of a "hidden gem" in the city. I highly recommend this venue and vendor team! I promise you will not regret it.

nothing but professional and even more than that, sympathetic and someone to lean on. We were graciously invited to come by the venue after our very reduced and intimate ceremony at an alternate location so that we could have photos at our original venue. It was really special for my husband and I to have those photos and was a really sweet gesture after going through a tough time planning and replanning over the past year. I hope we can attend a wedding at the venue soon or host a celebration of our own in the future!

we had the most special day!

s what needs to get done. She was also so sweet. I know she’s worked with so many brides, but my day still felt special to her. The venue is amazing. The bridal suite upstairs is adorable, and my girls and I had so much fun getting ready there. Karin also made sure we had plenty of ice and everything was going smoothly. I love this gorgeous historic house in the middle of a bustling urban area. The ballroom had such a romantic feel and vibe, which made our ceremony and reception just feel so warm. Everything about this day was perfect and I couldn’t be more thankful to the Wimbish House and Karin for everything. I can’t recommend them highly enough!!

ter and it was truly my dream venue. The entire wedding felt like a fairy tale! We also loved working with Karin at The Wimbish House. She is incredibly professional and great at what she does. She made sure everything wast taken care of and our wedding was absolutely perfect because of her!

utiful backdrop for your wedding and gives such classic timeless beauty to all of your photos! Book it, you will not be disappointed!

ponsive to all of my questions and requests. The house has kept its elegant southern charm and was the perfect choice for our wedding day. This was the perfect venue and created a beautiful backdrop for all of our photos. Don’t let this little gem in the city pass you by!
