Erin K. Married on 08/07/2021Incredible Space & Experience
We've lived in Midtown for years and had always walked by The Wimbish House but never had the opportunity to go inside. It's absolutely picturesque, so when we got engaged, I immediately added it to my list of venues to tour. Truthfully, I knew this venue was "the one" from the moment I walked down the stairs into the ballroom...instant tears! During this walk through, I also hit it off with Karin and knew she had to be the one to coordinate our wedding. You can tell how professional and buttoned up she is, plus she truly knows and loves the house and property.
We were initially supposed to get married at Wimbish in May 2020, but then COVID had other plans for us. When everything shut down at the end of March 2020, Karin was an absolute lifesaver. She was quick to act and communicate with our vendors, and was so patient and understanding with us. I know that she was dealing with a ton of brides at this time but constantly made us feel like we were her priority.
We ultimately had to reschedule twice, but as they say, the third time's a charm. We were finally able to be married at Wimbish in August 2021 and it far exceeded our expectations. Karin and her team were on top of EVERYTHING: from managing vendors, to keeping things on schedule and anticipating our every need. They made it all look easy, and we KNOW that it was far from easy. Beyond the incredible service we received, the venue itself was absolutely breathtaking. Many of our guests were local and very few had every been to Wimbish before. They were all completely blown away by the space -- it truly is somewhat of a "hidden gem" in the city.
I highly recommend this venue and vendor team! I promise you will not regret it. -

D K Married on 01/07/2022Fantastic experience
We just wanted to share our wonderful experience for our wedding at the Wimbish House in July. 10 out of 10 would recommend to others for several reasons. We had initially booked this venue in January of 2019 for a memorial day wedding, but COVID forced us to cancel and move. The venue owner Karin was kind, accommodating, available, and catered to our constantly evolving wedding due to the pandemic. We were able to get the wedding moved to July with a significantly reduced headcount, adjusted music and dinner style without issue.
We’ve heard from other friends that didn’t have the same experience and were so grateful for Karin and our venue selection. Highly recommend her for the coordinator services rather than bring one in! The venue was beautiful, and honestly provided us the perfect setting that we always wanted. The ballroom setting downstairs, photo opps for a blended historic/urban vibe, and upstairs area was fantastic, and we’ve had friends reach out regularly about the intimate setting. We worked with Hannah at Zest for catering, which we also highly recommend, and Joel Rabe with Lethal Rhythms as DJ and were extremely pleased. Awesome venue!!

Very Professional and Highly Recommended.
I have worked with the Wimbish House for two of my wedding and events. The most recent one was challenging however, their team (Karen, Barbara, Dianne) were amazing! Very detailed! I look forward to working with them again soon!
The Wimbish House is one of my favorite venues in Atlanta. It has two great pianos, is in the heart of midtown, and has an upscale feel without being too huge or intimidating.
