255 is the most beautiful and perfectly curated wedding venue! I had my wedding there 2 weeks ago, and Kim & Megan could not have been more helpful and worked overtime to make sure our day was completely magical and stress-free! I cannot recommend 255 Milledge enough!

Best Venue in Georgia!!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! My husband and I got married at 255 Milledge in April of 2024, and it was better than anything I could have ever dreamed of. Working with the staff at 255 is SO easy, and they work tirelessly to make your dream wedding come to life. Their bar service and florals are outstanding, too. If you're looking to get married in the Athens area, this is literally the only spot you should consider. Their grounds are impeccable, the house is beautiful and historic, and the staff are organized, detailed, and professional. Every single guest that attended our wedding said it was the best wedding they had ever been to... the flow of the event is smooth and the property itself is gorgeous and unique. It really is genuine, southern hospitality and I would recommend this place to anyone!

Dream Wedding

I can't thank the venue at 255 enough for providing the perfect venue for our daughter's wedding! The minute we walked in to look at this venue, we knew this would be the ideal venue for Kristi. The recommended vendors and their seamless collaboration removed any stress from the planning of this wedding. The venue's natural beauty enhanced by the flowers and decor, perfectly captured the vision Kristi had in mind. On the day of the wedding, Kim and her vendors were on-site, ensuring that everything ran smoothly.

The Knot, wedding website, provided ideas to help in the vision and invitations. Jackson and June, event planner, worked with Kristi and Billy at least once a month, then week, then day, to be the go between person for all of the other vendors. This includes the florist, photographer, Epling Events, the caterer, and Five Points Beverage Store. I apologize if I have left anyone forgotten.

If you are looking for a venue with a beautiful, natural setting, and professional guidance to provide the "wedding of their dreams", it would be wise to check out 255 Milledge in Athens, Ga. You will also be able to enjoy the wedding without stress. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
