The Venue

Imagine this: a private garden, lush and serene, where you and your loved ones gather under the Southern sky to witness something beautiful. A spacious courtyard that invites you to dance the night away, surrounded by the warmth of those who matter most.

Our venue can accommodate up to 200 guests, with spaces designed to flow seamlessly from intimate gatherings to grand celebrations. Picture your ceremony in our private Southern garden, followed by a cocktail hour on the stone courtyard, and then an elegant reception in our historical manor. Whatever your vision, we’re here to bring it to life.

Perfect Backyard Wedding

I cannot recommend 255 Milledge highly enough! From the moment we began planning, their team went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our wedding was perfect. They were incredibly responsive and professional, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. The venue itself was stunning, and they truly made our dream wedding come true. Their exceptional service and attention to detail made our special day unforgettable. So thankful for Megan and all of her help. If you're looking for a wedding venue that combines elegance with top-notch service, 255 Milledge is the perfect choice!

The BEST wedding venue!

Got married here June 1, 2024, and it was the wedding of my dreams! This was the only venue I toured, and I knew immediately it was where I wanted to get married. Everything about the property and the house is stunning. The staff is amazing and very responsive. They were also extremely flexible with my rehearsal day and time, which was very appreciated, given that us and most of our wedding party live out of town. My coordinator, Megan, completely exceeded my expectations and made sure that my wedding day ran seamlessly- we seriously had zero hiccups! The staff was so accommodating to our wedding party and our families the entire day. Highly recommend this venue and the staff!!
