Venue and planning
I could have not asked for a better venue…. The moment I stepped foot on property I knew this was the one. It was the only venue I toured and signed within the hour!!!! Upon meeting Kim and her team, I knew they had the eye and expertise to bring my vision to life. I used them for month of coordination and day off and they absolutely killed it. I was able to be so hands off and trust that they would be bringing my vision to life. It was better than I could have even imagined. I joke and say this to her but I truly mean it, Kim and her team could run the country!!! Megan and Cortney were an absolute dream to work with as well. They were to attentive and helped me with all of the big and small details. They kept me calm the day of. Even the tiny details did not go left unnoticed- even my bridesmaids were like wow they mean business. Kim greeted us on my wedding day with a smile and a mimosa bar as well as alka seltzer and Advil hahaha they just knew all the small touches that made a huge impact. I cannot thank them enough for literally bringing my dream wedding to life and being so efficient and exuding an extreme level of excellence. I am very picky and they blew every vision I had out of the water. I love you guys and thank you SO MUCH!!!!!! Best day of my LIFE!!!!! The in house florals are also GORGEOUS!!! I mean I couldn’t have dreamt up better if I tried. Literally it felt like a movie.255 Milledge Hardeman-Sams House's reply:
Ashley, reading your review made my day! I’m over the moon that our venue was your perfect match. Megan and Cortney, along with the rest of our team, are indeed passionate about what they do, and their commitment to excellence shines through in the small and big details they meticulously handle. Your happiness is everything to us, and we’re sending you all the love for your journey ahead.
Cheers, Kim -

Using 255 Milledge was an absolute dream!!! While living in Athens, I visited 255 as part of planning a party for my boss and I absolutely fell in love with the property. Years later, once I got engaged I knew it was where I wanted to get married! We toured and my mom and fiancé fell in love as well. I cannot state enough how nice it is to have everything available on the property. From getting ready, to the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. No transportation needed! We booked immediately! Throughout the planning process the 255 staff were so helpful with recommendations for any vendor I could think of, tips, tricks, and promptly answering my tons of questions. We had a handful of calls in our year leading up to the event to ensure they understood our vision and could execute everything perfectly. In the month leading up to the big day, we worked with our coordinator, Megan, who was absolutely fantastic. She was on top of all the details, knew how to time everything perfectly and made sure our day went so smoothly! She was so even keeled and helped us feel so confident for our wedding day. Everything went perfectly, and we truly had the most beautiful day without any issue! I would be remiss if I did not shout out Kim and Bonnie as well! They were so fantastic throughout our planning process and so helpful. I would recommend 255 Milledge to anyone looking for a wedding venue in Athens. They are truly the best in the business with the most beautiful property! -

My dream wedding
My husband and I got married at 255 in September of 2023 and it was truly the wedding of my dreams. The entire day went off without a hitch, their whole staff is truly astounding! They were able to accommodate all of our requested needs whether it was regarding serving food, bar services, the ceremony space, anything! All the individuals who work here are lovely and were truly a pleasure to plan with, they are the kind of people you want supporting you and creating your dream day! All of it was perfect, the grounds of the venue are breathtaking and unlike any of the other venues we toured such as ballrooms, farms, barns, churches, etc. There was just something so elegant and special about this space. I wouldn’t have wanted our big day to take place anywhere else! -

Epitome of Venue Perfection!!
My husband and I just got married here August 3, 2023 and could not have asked for a more perfect wedding venue! Kim, Bonnie, and Meghan were incredible!! The day of the wedding, a storm hit knocking over all reception decor and soaking the linens. Kim and Meghan were extremely on top of working with my coordinator on rain plan options. They had everything replaced and in order for all potential discussed rain plans. Luckily, right before the ceremony began, the rain stopped and we were able to have our dream garden ceremony and reception. 255 was so open and excited to all of our ideas for the wedding and brought them to fruition! I can't recommend them enough to anyone looking for a perfect wedding day!! Thank y'all!!

Would pick 255 all over again!
We just got married at 255 last weekend and I had to take a moment to sing their praises. Guests pulled us aside all night to compliment the venue. It is absolutely beautiful, well taken care of and has a very intimate feeling - which is exactly what we were looking for. Kim and Bonnie answered all questions promptly throughout the planning process and made sure our wedding day went off without a hitch. Also - the location!! It was so fun to be in the heart of Athens and able to scoot downtown afterwards for a bit. 10/10 recommend!255 Milledge Hardeman-Sams House's reply:
Thank you for your kind review, Taylor We are so grateful to have brides like you that have such a unique vision for their day and trust us to help bring it to life! Wishing you and Austin a lifetime of happiness + FUN. -

My husband and I got married here on 5.6.23 and it was the most magical day thanks to the amazing staff at 255 Milledge. The venue was absolutely gorgeous, the in house florals made planning incredibly easy, and the wedding coordinators at 255 Milledge truly made our day perfect. Since the in house florals and coordinators are so familiar with the venue, they know exactly what needed to be done. I went to Kim with my vision for the wedding and she did just that and more. I am usually an anxious person, but the team at 255 Milledge made everything so easy. Not once did I feel overwhelmed in the wedding planning process. Everyone has said it is the most beautiful and elegant wedding they have ever been to. I couldn’t have put all of it together myself and I am so thankful for Kim, Megan, and Bonnie to help me make this dream come true. If you book at 255 Milledge you will NOT be disappointed and your wedding day will be a dream come true. I cannot say enough good things about this venue and the team there. -

The most beautiful and special venue!
My husband and I got married at 255 Milledge 4/29/23 and I can't express how wonderful of an experience it was! Kim, Bonnie, and the entire staff helped me the entire way, starting from the day we selected 255 as our venue. All the ladies had wonderful communication, design ideas, and suggestions that helped everything come together spectacularly for our special day. Everything was organized on the online portal as far as payment deadlines, reminders, etc which was such a huge help as a bride who is juggling a million and one things. Kim was wonderful with vendor recommendations as well and truly made the planning process a seamless experience.
The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and the garden in the back made for the most breathtaking ceremony spot. April was a wonderful month with lots of flowers in bloom! The bridesmaids and groomsmen suites are clean and well decorated. Truly the perfect spots! Even staff members I had never met the day of our wedding were willing to drop what they were doing to help me, all with a smile on their face. I can't recommend 255 enough if you're looking for a beautiful and memorable wedding (or event) venue!
The ONLY other thing you need to know if considering this venue is the fact it is on a busy street in Athens with sorority and fraternity houses nearby and next door. A fraternity was having a large party the day of our wedding but were quiet for the majority of the ceremony before starting to play their music. Kim was open about this from day one and has a good relationship with them to make sure everything for wedding day runs perfectly smooth and we are as uninterrupted as possible!255 Milledge Hardeman-Sams House's reply:
Hannah, thank you for leaving us such a glowing (+ thorough) review!! We absolutely adored you and Sean and are so happy that our team was able to go above and beyond on your special day, that is always our goal! And you are right, being smack dab in the middle of Milledge Ave can present us with some unique situations, but we are so grateful to have such great relationships with both of our neighboring fraternities. Thank you again for allowing us to play a role in your day, we love what we do! Cheers to you + Sean and a lifetime of happiness! -

From the moment we found 255 Milledge online, our hearts were hooked! Lucky for me, my husband happened to know the Moss Family and when I finally met Kim during the tour, I knew this venue had to be the one! Kim & her team were so diligent and communicative throughout the wedding planning process. We also hired Georgia Grace Weddings as our coordinator and they work very closely with 255 Milledge. So any ideas we had, GGW & Kim made the perfect team to make our wedding vision come true. Any concerns we had on our wedding day, they helped to take care of us & our needs. We loved how gorgeous our ceremony & reception turned out, and we received nothing but wonderful comments on how beautiful the venue was. If we had to choose our wedding venue again, we wouldn't hesitate to pick 255 Milledge!!!! -

Me and my wife had our wedding at 255 Milledge on 03/25/2023 and I can't say enough great things about the entire experience! Me and my wife agree that it was one of the best days of our life and it was all thanks to Kim, Megan, and the rest of the wonderful staff at 255 Milledge. We opted for the month of coordination and it was 1000% percent worth it. The month of they handled all of the emails back and forth with vendors and the coordination with getting them set up and ready for a great day. We had a meeting with them about a month before and they ensured us to just enjoy our engagement and they would handle everything else. They totally delivered! We also opted for in house florals and everything was gorgeous! The day of the wedding was magical and Kim, Megan, and staff made sure everything flowed smoothly. Could not recommend them more! A wonderful experience! A++255 Milledge Hardeman-Sams House's reply:

Bridesmaids Luncheon
We chose 255 Milledge for a Bridesmaids Luncheon and it was perfect in every way! From our initial contact, to the day of our event, every detail was handled flawlessly and to say that it exceeded our expectations is an understatement. The house and grounds are just beautiful and it was the ideal setting for an elegant and intimate luncheon that all our guests raved about. I highly recommend this venue - 5 stars and more! -

Incredibly beautiful night for my son and his fiance's rehearsal dinner. Every detail and question was handled superbly by Kim Moss and her staff. We had only a few weeks to plan and it was one of the easiest dinners ever! Great communication and and checking in made me feel like I knew what I was doing! Suggestions were professional and suited to us, and everything flowed so well the day of the dinner. That night was a WOW. Absolutely stunningly beautiful venue and excellent support and staff. We were all so happy we chose 255 Milledge!255 Milledge Hardeman-Sams House's reply:
Nancy, thank you so much for your kind review! We loved having the opportunity to work with you and create the most stunning "something blue" rehearsal dinner for Ryan and Morgan.

Rehearsal Dinner of my Dreams
We had our rehearsal dinner here, and we cannot recommend this venue enough. Kim and Bonnie were great to work with, kept the process fun and the communication/updates were seamless. My mother-in-law had a great time planning this special night for us and they went above and beyond to make our dream come to life. Our rehearsal dinner guests are still talking about it- the party of the year!!!255 Milledge Hardeman-Sams House's reply:

255 Milledge was the perfect venue for a rehearsal dinner we hosted in September for our son. It was truly a night to remember, from the amazing indoor areas and the lovely outdoor gardens, to the lighting, music and especially the beautiful floral arrangements they provided. We are so grateful to Kim for her expertise and attention to detail, ensuring a smooth and flawless event and a magical evening for our guests. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for the loveliest setting in the Athens area.
