The professional, attentive team and coordinators make planning seamless and execute days flawlessly; in-house florals and recommended vendors are highly praised.

My daughter held her wedding at 255 Milledge. All I can say is it was an incredible experience from start to finish! The house and grounds are exquisite! Kim and Bonnie are true professionals! They made sure every detail was taken care of and answered all of our many questions. Kim took charge to make sure the wedding day was everything my daughter dreamed of. Highly recommend!!!❤️
Most amazing wedding venue and staff - no one can match it!

The best venue in Athens!
Leading up to the big day, they stayed in touch and offered support every step of the way. Their attention to detail and genuine care made a huge difference. On the wedding day, everything unfolded beautifully—it was smooth, seamless, and completely magical.
255 is truly a gem in Athens. The space is gorgeous, with breathtaking details throughout the property. It couldn’t have been more perfect.
10/10 WOWW
A huge part of what made our day so special was Megan, the on-site coordinator. Megan truly went above and beyond with every detail on the day of the wedding. She handled everything with grace and calm, making sure the entire event flowed flawlessly. We were so grateful for her expertise and care – she made us feel like our wedding was just as important to her as it was to us.
We chose to use all of 255 Milledge’s recommended vendors, and we’re so glad we did – each one exceeded our expectations (Jenny's in house florals had me speechless). The staff at the venue were also exceptional. From helping with last-minute adjustments to assisting guests with thoughtful kindness, they went the extra mile without hesitation.
Many of our guests told us this was the most fun wedding they had ever attended – and we have to give a special shout-out to DJ Kenny, who kept the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long!
If you’re considering 255 Milledge for your wedding, do it. We’re still glowing from the day, and so much of that is thanks to this incredible venue and team. Thanks again for Kim for letting us use your beautiful venue.
