From the reviews
As a wedding photographer, I can honestly say this venue is hands down my favorite! Kim and her team are incredible to work with and treat all of their clients like family. The venue itself is classic, southern and upscale and offers plenty of space for a large group.
We recently held our daughter’s wedding at 255 Milledge and could not have been more pleased with Kim and her staff! Kim managed the entire process with the utmost professionalism, thoughtfulness, and integrity. This entire property is just beautiful and has a classic look that made for an incredible wedding.
My husband and I got married at 255 a few weeks ago and it was the most perfect day ever! Kim and Megan are exceptional at what they do and go out of their way to make sure that you have the best day ever! They go above and beyond in making sure the day is going as smooth as possible.
Kim and the entire team at 255 are truly incredible and have made the most beautiful venue. We booked our date 2 years in advance and they constantly kept in touch with us. The venue was beyond our dreams and the new renovations really added to its beauty.
Getting married at 255 Milledge, Hardeman-Sams Estate
255 Milledge, Hardeman-Sams Estate comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
