BOOK YOUR WEDDING HERE!!!!!!! I cannot speak highly enough of this place!!! We were planning a wedding on a quick timeline (4 months!), and Ms. Kim at the Hardeman-Sams house was nothing short of an answer to prayer. Having our wedding at this venue made the whole weekend and planing process so stress-free. We booked the whole wedding weekend package, which included the venue for Friday night as well. We hosted the rehearsal dinner at the house on Friday, and all of my bridesmaids got to stay with me at the house on Friday night. Also included in the package was florals and wedding coordinating, which was so amazing to have included!!

I CANNOT SAY THIS ENOUGH- MS. KIM (the venue owner and manager) IS THE BEST!!!! She went absolutely above and beyond to make our weekend so special. She helped my mother-in-law plan the rehearsal dinner, was helping the caterers serve, and was even dancing with us at our reception. I feel like she is part of the family now!

Absolutely perfect!
255 Milledge was the perfect place for our wedding! I fell in love with it the moment we arrived. The house is beautiful and the garden stunning. It’s even more beautiful now than when I booked it last year- the wall paper and light fixtures have been updated and are gorgeous! Kim Moss and her staff made the whole process a dream- every detail reflected the picture I had of how I wanted our big day to be. I loved everything about having my wedding here and would 100% recommend 255 to anyone looking for a romantic garden wedding venue- it is perfect!

Our Son’s Rehearsal Dinner
We had our son’s rehearsal dinner at 255 Milledge Hardeman-Sams. This venue is absolutely beautiful! The house and gardens are amazing. We were able to have our dinner outback in the gardens. Kim did a wonderful job at planning the layout for our event. Kim and Bonnie were always available anytime we had questions. We had great weather and a beautiful evening outside surrounded by the beautiful gardens. I promise you will love Kim and Bonnie! You will never regret having a beautiful place to invite your guest to along with the staff at 255 Milledge Hardeman-Sams Estate.
