Charming Venue

Not only is the venue absolutely stunning, but the staff was great to work with. Kim and Bonnie are amazing and made our experience perfect. They were quick to answer any of my questions/concerns, always available for us to stop by with vendors, and outdid themselves on the day of our wedding. I highly recommend them!

Wedding 5.29.21

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.

The Best Athens Has to Offer

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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
