We hosted our wedding reception at The Wimbish House and are so happy with how the event turned out! The venue is beautiful, and the staff was so helpful throughout the entire process 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!

As soon as my wife and I saw the venue, we immediately forgot about all of the other ones we were touring. The house itself is beautiful and the staff are all amazing!! We got married 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!!

The Wimbish House was the perfect venue for our wedding, combining timeless elegance with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The space worked beautifully for both our ceremony and reception. Vanessa, the wedding coordinator provided by The Wimbish House, was truly phenomenal—her expertise and genuine kindness made the planning process seamless. She was always attentive to our needs and ensured every detail was executed flawlessly. We couldn’t imagine a better setting or a better team for our special day.

We had our wedding at the Wimbish House and we loved every second of it!! We got non stop compliments from guests about how beautiful the space is (which made decorating really simple 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.

This venue is beautiful and timeless. We are so happy we chose The Wimbish House for our wedding day! We had about 130 guests, and it was the perfect size for the more intimate feel 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!

We had our wedding at the Wimbish House in April of 2024 and it was the most spectacular day of our lives! The venue itself is so lovely and well located in the city (near plenty of 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!

A very overdue review. The Wimbish House is GORGEOUS! Absolutely phenomenally furnished and it doesn't require a lot of decor. I have to agree with another bride's review however that 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.

The Wimbish House was the perfect place for my New Year’s Eve wedding ceremony and reception! Not only is it so beautiful and it a perfect midtown location, but Karin and the rest 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!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Wimbish House in July and all I can say is WOW!!! First off, the venue is so beautiful and very well maintained. The bridal and groom 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!!

Karin and Karina were so helpful in getting our wedding planned and executed! We had 0 hiccups in the wedding thanks to Karin - she had everyone placed where they needed to be and 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!

This a very beautiful venue for a wedding, no doubt about that. If booking I would NOT recommend booking Karin's coordinating services. I had multiple guests, vendors, family, etc. 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.

We decided to have our wedding at The Wimbish House because it's in a very walkable area of Atlanta, the house itself is gorgeous, and Karin and Karina made us feel like we would be 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!

Our wedding here was so beautiful and turned out even more incredibly than we could have imagined. The space is so elegant, and we felt like we could make it into the perfect mix of 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!

Beautiful space with enough room for Ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception (130 guests or fewer). There is no parking (it's Midtown!), but plenty of options nearby and a few vendor/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)

I couldn’t be happier to have chosen the Wimbish House as my venue. It was on the higher end of our budget, but absolutely worth the price. The house is absolutely beautiful and I 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.

We can’t say enough good things about The Wimbish House or Karin. The Wimbish House is the classiest, most elegant venue—we visited it once and immediately fell in love. More than 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

I would definitely recommend The Wimbish House and Karin for a wedding!

We just had my daughter’s wedding at the Wimbish House, and it was wonderful! Karin made the whole process, from initial tour to the final goodbye, go so smoothly. But first, the venue.
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!

This venue was an absolute dream. Karin & Karina were an absolute dream as well. They answered any questions we had, gave us all the details we needed, and the communication was amazing 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!

Brides thoughts:
Best Coordination team !For a small additional fee you can add the Wimbish Coordination team, I 1000% recommend it! Karin was firm when needed to be since she Priorities 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 !

We got married and had our reception at the Wimbish House on June 12th and we'd make the same decision time and time again. The venue is STUNNING and can fit a wide range for guest 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!!!!!

We've lived in Midtown for years and had always walked by The Wimbish House but never had the opportunity to go inside. It's absolutely picturesque, so when we got engaged, I immediately 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.

Unfortunately my fiancé and I ended up cancelling our wedding at The Wimbish House after three reschedules during COVID. During both the reschedules and the cancellation Karin was 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!

I had my wedding at Wimbish House last week, and it was a dream come true. Karin is so organized and made my unorganized self feel totally at ease. She is very experienced and knows 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!!

We had our wedding at the Wimbish House and it was an absolute dream. It’s so beautiful all on its own that we hardly needed to do too much decorating! Karin was very responsive and great at communicating. The entire staff was very nice and accommodating. The only issue we had is that we had multiple guests have car break-ins on the night of our rehearsal and wedding when parked in the open lot next door to the venue. This lot is advertised as an option for guest parking on their website, but please advise your guests not to park there! They do have a security officer on duty throughout any event but he does not watch over the lot. Unfortunately when many of my guests think of my wedding, they’ll think of this unfortunate incident. Overall though, this venue is beautiful, reasonably priced and the staff are wonderful. I would definitely recommend having your wedding at Wimbish!

My husband and I had our wedding at the Wimbish House on 10/24/2020, and it was an incredible experience. The house was beautiful and it exceeded all of our expectations on the big day. We had both the ceremony and the reception at the house, and it worked out flawlessly. The staff was organized and kind, and made sure that our guests were entertained and guided through all of the events of the night. We hired Karin Holben as our wedding coordinator, and she gave us the BEST advice on which vendors to use, and how to organize the setup of the wedding to meet our guest needs. She was just wonderful, and she was on top of everything. We couldn’t have done it without her. I would recommend the Wimbish House and Ms. Holben to anyone.

We just wanted to share our wonderful experience for our wedding at the Wimbish House in July. 10 out of 10 would recommend to others for several reasons. We had initially booked this venue in January of 2019 for a memorial day wedding, but COVID forced us to cancel and move. The venue owner Karin was kind, accommodating, available, and catered to our constantly evolving wedding due to the pandemic. We were able to get the wedding moved to July with a significantly reduced headcount, adjusted music and dinner style without issue.
We’ve heard from other friends that didn’t have the same experience and were so grateful for Karin and our venue selection. Highly recommend her for the coordinator services rather than bring one in! The venue was beautiful, and honestly provided us the perfect setting that we always wanted. The ballroom setting downstairs, photo opps for a blended historic/urban vibe, and upstairs area was fantastic, and we’ve had friends reach out regularly about the intimate setting. We worked with Hannah at Zest for catering, which we also highly recommend, and Joel Rabe with Lethal Rhythms as DJ and were extremely pleased. Awesome venue!!

The Wimbish House is a gorgeous venue in the heart of Atlanta. They are exceptionally reasonably priced and made our wedding a wonderful experience. The historic mansion needs relatively little added decoration to really bring beauty to a wedding. Karen Holben, the wedding coordinator and main point of contact for us was a real pleasure to get to know. She made the event go extremely smoothly and provided a ton of expertise. We are so thankful that we had her and that we went with this venue. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

We got married at The Wimbish House on 2/15/20 and loved every second of it! We thought it might not be enough space for 165 people, but with Karin’s help, the unique table set up and room flip was flawless! Even the dance floor was jam packed and felt accommodating. If anything went wrong, we didn’t notice it at all. We absolutely loved having our wedding at Wimbish House and would recommend it to everyone!

The Wimbish House was the first of two places my husband and I looked, and as soon as we walked in the door we knew it was the place for us. We made ourselves look at another venue so we didn't look at just one venue, but the Wimbish House was 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.

Beautiful venue in the heart of midtown! The architecture and decor inside is so beautiful you do not need to much additional decor. It’s a plus that the chairs are provided as well. Great for an evening wedding.

We had our wedding at the Wimbish House on November 2nd and it was an absolute dream. This venue is perfect if you are looking for an intown location; it is convenient to hotels and restaurants, activities for guests, etc. Many of our guests were 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.

I had my wedding at this venue recently, and it was exactly what I wanted to fit my theme. I had looked at other venues before looking at this one but when I did get to see it I knew it was the one. The price was very reasonable and Karen is such 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!!!!

We looked at many places in the Atlanta area for our wedding venue. The Wimbish House was by chance the last we visited, but as soon as we walked in we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. The house is incredibly beautiful and located 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!

We are so happy we went with the Wimbish House for our wedding reception. We had such a great experience from start to finish, and could not speak more highly of our wedding coordinator, Karin. Karin made sure every detail was finalized, made sure 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!

Could not have asked for a better experience with the Wimbish House. The venue was absolutely dreamy! We knew the second we walked in that we wanted to get married there. It is elegant, yet so warm and inviting.
Karin (the day of coordinator and 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!

My husband and I are so happy we chose the Wimbish House as our wedding venue. From the beginning, Karin has been very responsive and accommodating. As my family does not live in the USA, I wanted to Facetime my mom while touring the place, and 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!

The Wimbish House was a dream to get married in! It was definitely the perfect venue for my husband and I. We had no idea what we wanted going into our wedding day, but once we saw that bridal suite we knew this was where we were getting married! 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!

The Wimbish House was the absolute perfect venue for my wedding. Karin and the staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating in every aspect. Every detail went off perfectly and I can honestly say I am thrilled with every piece of the day. Karin 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!

Our overall experience at Wimbish House was great! Karin was very helpful throughout the process. Although, we had a slight hiccup with Christmas decor being up during our wedding but that was resolved. So a heads up for those who would like to 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)!

We were SO happy with everything related to hosting our wedding reception at the Wimbish House. It is an absolutely gorgeous venue. We went pretty light on the flowers and decorations because the House is already so beautiful. Our guests loved 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.

The Wimbish is such a warm, wonderful place to get married. We also got married during the holiday season and got to take advantage of their STUNNING holiday decor. Karin is a thorough, detailed, communicative professional. It is also very competitively priced for an "in town" Atlanta venue. Highly recommend if you're looking in the 100-140 guest count range!

The Wimbish House was a gorgeous venue to get married in. Karina was such a great contact to work with. There are a lot of strict rules at Wimbish House and a list of approved caterers to work with but overall a great experience. It's a very pricey venue but with the Christmas decorations up - we received nothing but compliments.

Karin and everyone at the Wimbish House made our wedding the best day ever!!!!!! She was detail oriented, listened to all of my needs, and executed the entire day PERFECTLY. I'm a bit type A and needed everyone to be on time, and she managed everyone 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!
