We had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Wimbish House in July and all I can say is WOW!!! First off, the venue is so beautiful and very well maintained. The bridal and groom suites are spacious and elegant and the whole downstairs has more than enough space to not feel like your guests are crowded. The location is perfect. I love how it's a historic home right in the heart of midtown. It felt like we had our own private mansion for the day! Karin, the venue manager, is outstanding. She coordinated the wedding day of and everything was perfectly executed because of her. I can honestly say everything went smoothly because of her. There were no hiccups or misses and she made the whole day stress free. I would highly recommend The Wimbish House to everyone!! Reviewed on 09-08-2023

The Wimbish House was the perfect place for my New Year’s Eve wedding ceremony and reception! Not only is it so beautiful and it a perfect midtown location, but Karin and the rest of her team made the wedding planning and big day amazing and so smooth. It was great to get to have multiple spaces to enjoy in the house - the ballroom for ceremony and reception, the living room for cocktail hour, and the upstairs for getting ready. The holiday decor they have up is beautiful and added so much charm. All our guests raved about Wimbish House too! Reviewed on 19-01-2024

This a very beautiful venue for a wedding, no doubt about that. If booking I would NOT recommend booking Karin's coordinating services. I had multiple guests, vendors, family, etc. come up to me to tell me that she was being rude or giving an attitude. This was very embarrassing for me to hear how she was treating my guests. Overall, I did not feel like I could trust anything she was doing after having other vendors coming up to me to tell me that she was lying about mistakes that were happening and keeping information from me that could put me in danger. This was not what I expected from her and was very disappointed. Like I said the venue in itself was great just not the company. Reviewed on 27-04-2023
Melyssa Micallef(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-04-2023 We decided to have our wedding at The Wimbish House because it's in a very walkable area of Atlanta, the house itself is gorgeous, and Karin and Karina made us feel like we would be in good hands when we took a tour. While I did most of the planning, Karin dialed in the details and offered cherished advice on what would work best given our own preferences. We had a guest count of 117 people. We held the ceremony in the ballroom, then went into the Lucy Willard room upstairs for a private moment with champagne and appetizers. Meanwhile, the ballroom was flipped for dinner service and guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres on the main floor. After dinner, guests moved back up to the main floor for dessert and coffee in the conference room, and 3 tables were removed to open up the dance floor. All of these moving pieces/flips worked seamlessly thanks to Karin's direction, and multiple times guests told me how much they loved the opportunity to walk through the rooms on the main floor. It was truly a perfect venue for the vision of our wedding day, and we can't thank the Wimbish House staff (and our other vendors) enough for the perfect evening. One thing I will recommend, even though it looks so beautiful and photographs well, is not having candles in the aisle for the ceremony. We had a few clumsy guests knock them over, but thankfully Karin and crew came to the rescue swiftly and gracefully. We had no idea it had even happened until later on, and that's the kind of crew you want on your wedding day: one that makes mistakes unnoticeable. Thank you so much again for a wonderful wedding day! Reviewed on 18-04-2023

Karin and Karina were incredible coordinators who made the day so effortless and easy, and I feel like because of them we really were able to just enjoy the day. Our only concern when choosing this venue was traffic and parking, but this ended up not being an issue at all.

Christina Austin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-02-2023 Beautiful space with enough room for Ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception (130 guests or fewer). There is no parking (it's Midtown!), but plenty of options nearby and a few vendor/VIP spots. The upstairs suites are lovely and spacious for getting ready- I truly can not emphasize enough how pretty this entire house is. Other historic homes we toured felt so cramped or didn't have the same flow for guests to move comfortably during the flip from Ceremony to reception, and the central location can't be beat. It's BYOB which makes things cheaper and more flexible, and the staff are great (definitely hire Karin for coordination) Reviewed on 01-03-2023
Emily Earle(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-01-2023 I couldn’t be happier to have chosen the Wimbish House as my venue. It was on the higher end of our budget, but absolutely worth the price. The house is absolutely beautiful and I loved seeing my guests fall in love with it. It elevated our entire day. Karin was my coordinator and answered all my questions leading up to the day. I had a ton of different vendors and decor and she made it all come together beautifully without missing a beat. Only negatives: the list of preferred caterers is pretty limiting price wise. I used an off list caterer and it was a challenge to make sure we could follow all of the venue policies (there are several, since it’s a historic home). But even after paying the $2000 off-list catering fee, I paid thousands less than I would have if I used their preferred caterers. I also noticed that Wimbish provided a lot less than other venues I toured- you basically just get tables and chairs, so you need a lot from your caterer.Parking is a bit of a challenge, as is navigating to the venue if you’re unfamiliar with midtown Atlanta. While there’s a lot right next to the house, it’s not cheap or very secure. Again, despite very minor issues, I would absolutely recommend Wimbish, and Karin and Karina, to everyone.

Karin made the whole process, from initial tour to the final goodbye, go so smoothly. But first, the venue. The Wimbish house has multiple areas to use. The main ballroom downstairs was used for the ceremony (we had almost 100 guests), then switched over to dinner seating and dancing. The main level (elevator available) has a cocktail area, the lobby area, a formal dining room where we displayed a cake and had a slide show, and the porch outside. Plenty of space for people to mill about. The house is already beautiful without having to add decorations, which is a huge money saver. Having the main level area was especially nice after dinner when the music was going strong, so that my husband and I could chat with guests in a quiet area.The second story has multiple spacious rooms for the bride to get ready, another for the groom, and a few more for whatever needs you may have. Even though the area is large, it was cozy to be up there with my daughter.Karin, our wedding coordinator, was amazing! I cannot say enough about her skills in controlling the many aspects of a wedding. She is always level headed and calm, no matter what is going on, and she is so good at corralling everyone and getting them where they need to be. She was extremely responsive to any questions or concerns we had during the months leading up to the big day. She also had so many great suggestions that made the wedding day so much more special. She’s been doing this a long time, and has a wealth of knowledge concerning anything wedding related. My daughter made the best decision ever when she booked the Wimbish House! Reviewed on 04-10-2022

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!

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.

From the layout to the decorations (we got married around Christmas), the venue felt homey and inviting which was exactly the feel we wanted. It allows for an intimate feel but accommodating a decent size party. The beauty and detail of the historic home adds another layer of detail to the special day. The layout of the street level with the ballroom helps make such a great distinction between ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception. There was plenty of space for our guests upstairs, but the ballroom could get a bit tight depending on our guest count. We utilized the covered outdoor porch as outdoor seating.

From the moment you walk into the Wimbish House, you can feel how special a place it is. It is welcoming and elegant all at once. The upstairs area has a stunning bridal/groom suite. My bridal party had makeup and hair done on site, which alleviated any stress. Additionally, we never worried about the weather because the venue allows all wedding activites to be inside. My husband and I did a first look and there are countless areas around the venue that are perfect for brial portraits. There is a sign outside the venue that you can personalize, which is a sweet touch. One of the best perks is that you can bring your own alcohol to the venue, which saved money and allowed us to pick what we wanted to serve.

Karin guided us through every detail of our wedding, from the moment we booked the venue to the last vendor driving away. She had so many incredible ideas and suggestions and has seen so many weddings at the venue that she knows what works best for the space.

This made it so much easier to feel absolutely happy with our choice of venue. Karin also let us tour the place, once already confirmed, when my family was in town. Everybody loved the place, it is beautiful, and does not need a lot to be set for a perfect wedding decor. Throughout our planning, Karin provided recommendations and was super responsive, which is so nice when you are planning your welcome. Karin also was our wedding day of coordinator, and I cannot recommend this enough. She helped us prior to the day to make sure all of our vendors knew where to be at what time, and she created a wedding time-line for us, which was so helpful. During the day, she made sure everything went smoothly and was super helpful. For example, when we needed a thin glass for my husband to break after the ceremony (as the rabbi mentioned the one we had was to thick), she provided one within minutes. She also made sure we had a nice private moment after our cocktail hour and this was wonderful.I truly cannot recommend the Wimbish House enough and believe it is very fairly priced (and as you can bring in your own alcohol, you will save quite a bit there). We had an amazing day and could not have been happier with our venue! Huge thanks to Karin and her team! Reviewed on 19-04-2019
Hannah Bray(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-03-2019 The Wimbish House was a dream to get married in! It was definitely the perfect venue for my husband and I. We had no idea what we wanted going into our wedding day, but once we saw that bridal suite we knew this was where we were getting married! It was like everything came together. The space flows so nicely and it is truly a wonderful day. You do not need much decoration because the venue speaks for itself. We hired Karin for our day of services and truly worried about nothing the whole day. It was her goal to make sure the bride/groom, and all parents worried about nothing and always had everything we needed and we did. I literally have no idea if anything went wrong and if it did Karin fixed it! She took care of all the vendors and details. Also - when you contract, they give you a packet with a ton of information. I researched a ton of my own vendors, but ultimately hand picked the perfect team off of Karin and team's list of recommended vendors. We seriously could not be more happy with the list and service levels provided on the list. We had an exceptional day and are so glad the Wimbish House was a part of it! Reviewed on 02-04-2019
Victoria Wissman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-03-2019 The Wimbish House was the absolute perfect venue for my wedding. Karin and the staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating in every aspect. Every detail went off perfectly and I can honestly say I am thrilled with every piece of the day. Karin truly let me enjoy every moment and took the stress off of having to worry about anything. She handled all the little things and did a fantastic job! I was able to have fun and relax knowing that she would handle everything flawlessly. Throughout the planning process, Karin was very responsive and always available to talk me off a ledge when needed! The venue speaks for itself and is stunning - truly provides an old world feel in the middle of the vibrant city. It really creates the perfect environment for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and a super fun reception. Relaxing with the bridal party before the wedding in the upstairs suite area was a huge bonus. My husband and I particularly liked our post-ceremony dinner date upstairs in a private room to take a moment to just spend time together amongst the crazy day. I would highly recommend The Wimbish House for your wedding or another big event! Reviewed on 22-03-2019
Kristin Lewis(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-11-2018 Our overall experience at Wimbish House was great! Karin was very helpful throughout the process. Although, we had a slight hiccup with Christmas decor being up during our wedding but that was resolved. So a heads up for those who would like to have their wedding here during November close to Thanksgiving, The Wimbish House puts up decor before Thanksgiving. We were not told this when we toured in January and we were able to get it pushed back. Other than that everything else was great. They have a person on staff to help you on the day off as well as a security guard. The venue is beautiful and really doesn’t require a lot of decor. I would definitely recommend having your wedding here, great venue and great staff (Karin and Karina)! Reviewed on 29-01-2019
Jordana Garcia(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-01-2019 We were SO happy with everything related to hosting our wedding reception at the Wimbish House. It is an absolutely gorgeous venue. We went pretty light on the flowers and decorations because the House is already so beautiful. Our guests loved the fancy homey feel of the House. It felt like we were hosting our reception in a private home. We worked with Karin Holben and she was a dream to work with. We hired her as our day-of Coordinator and our wedding day went so smoothly. If there were any issues - we don't know because she took care of everything. She helped us figure out and streamline everything - our must-haves, our vendors and our day-of schedule. She has excellent taste and anytime I had a question or just wanted her opinion on something she replied promptly. We couldn't be happier with the service from the Wimbish House team and again, the venue is so beautiful. Reviewed on 22-01-2019

Emily Nybo Thomas(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-10-2018 We hosted our wedding and reception at the Wimbish house - and first of all - the space is absolutely gorgeous. The venue has great space for getting ready on the top floor (bride and groom's suite), space on the main floor for mingling, cocktail hour, a beautiful patio, and a formal ballroom downstairs. We couldn't have asked for more and paid a deposit immediately after touring. Second - the SERVICE! WOW - the Wimbish house staff is amazing. We paid a nominal fee extra for Karin to be our wedding coordinator. She helped pull together final details and a day-of execution that was flawless. And for the bride on a budget, this venue lets you bring your own alcohol! =) Reviewed on 04-11-2018
Jared Degnan(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-10-2018 A wedding is much more than an event and Wimbish is much more than an event venue. It is head and shoulders above anything else we looked at. Not only is the location stunning, the space flexible, and the whole air historic, it’s really the Wimbish team that sealed the deal. Seriously, Karin and her team made the wedding easier in so many ways. Other venue staff from other venues were pushy, stand-offish, and came prepared with a long list of things you could do at an added price. Karin was straightforward, passionate, helpful, and a dream to work with. Reviewed on 03-11-2018
Melissa Chi(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-06-2018 My husband and family could not have been happier with our choice!!!! We planned our wedding from out of state, and the Wimbish House was on the schedule of 6 venues in Atlanta we chose to visit on a day tour last year. We saw the Wimbish House and fell in love immediately. The charm and layout of the house were just fantastic. It was finding a gem in the middle of a central location with neighboring hotels (Four Seasons & Marriott etc) for easy walking distance for our guests. In addition, we recommend DEFINITELY adding on the day-of coordination the Wimbish House offers. I have been in several weddings myself, where the bride and bridal party are running around trying to get vendors in the right area, determining the correct timing, etc. Not only did our wedding go to schedule (no joke right???), but I honestly felt so relaxed and carefree to enjoy the time getting ready with my family and friends. If there were any hitches with the transition from first look, ceremony, cocktail hour, to reception, I had ZERO idea!! Karin and the Wimbish House team did a fantastic job!!! Our guests were impressed by the beauty of the Wimbish House (and we didn't have to do much decorating as well). And what we really appreciated as well was being able to hold all our events there. Truly an amazing experience. Reviewed on 14-06-2018
Emily Draper(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-01-2018 From the day of our first visit to the Wimbish house I knew that this was the venue for us. We looked at other venues but nothing compared to the building, the location, the atmosphere, the options and Karin. The house is stunning and we received so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was from all of our guests. We also had a lot of out of town guests come in to town for our wedding so it was ideal to have our wedding walking distance from some of the most beautiful hotels in Atlanta. The list of caterers the Wimbish offers we're outstanding (we went with Chef Cary's Cuisine and we're extremely pleased.) Being able to bring our own alcohol was also a big seller when looking for venues. And last but certinely not least is the amazing Karin. We added on the day of services that Karin offers and could not have been happier. She made the whole process of putting the wedding and timeline together so easy. She was felixible when we wanted to make changes and listened to our concerns and some of our \"different\" (moving tables during the reception, fingerprint hearts during the ceremony). If you think it and want it included in your wedding... Karin will find a way. On the actual wedding day, Karin goes above and beyond! She helped decorate and make sure that everything looked beautiful while I was upstairs getting ready, not having to worry about anything. Once the ceremony started Karin kept the whole evening on track so that things went flawlessly and if there were hiccups.... I didn't know about them. The Wimbish house is the perfect wedding venue for an unforgettable wedding and the addition of Karin will ensure a flawless wedding day/evening. Reviewed on 12-02-2018

We didn’t have a wedding planner but the staff at the Wimbish house were more helpful than we could have possibly expected. The day of went smoothly because of their help. The house is beautiful and spacious. A 12 hour time period for our wedding made sure we weren’t rushed on the wedding day. Our wedding was during the Christmas period, and the house had some Christmas decoration at that time, but it was very tasteful and pretty and not overpowering at all.

Juliana Thiels(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-06-2017 We loved the Wimbish house! It's really hard to find a reasonably priced venue in Atlanta, so when I came across the Wimbish house I thought it was too good to be true.

Sarah Poser(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-12-2015 I am the epitome of a cautious comparison shopper, meaning I toured virtually every venue in Atlanta within the $5,000 and under price point. I thought long and hard, made lists, lost sleep, and finally decided to get married at the Wimbish House. I am SOOO glad we did! For the price, there is literally nothing better in Atlanta. I'm sure of it. If you're looking for a gorgeous venue with a homey feel (like, straight up Great Gatsby mansion) and incredible customer service, stop shopping. This is your place. \r\rFull disclosure, I was hesitant at first to book the venue because I was worried about the ballroom; it didn't woo us like the main part of the house did. In fact, after booking, we almost decided to close off the ballroom and just utilize the main part of the house. But instead we took a chance, brought in a bit of uplighting, and had the reception in the ballroom. It completely transformed! It was jaw-dropping stunning. Trust me, a little lighting can go a LONG way. All of our guests had an absolute blast. Everyone commented on how beautiful the entire venue was. The acoustics in the ballroom are killer, too! \r\rTo continue, the venue manager, Karin, is a godsend. She was like a second wedding planner to me throughout the entire process. She bent over backward to accommodate us and several of our vendors, including coming into the office to let us in at early hours and odd days, suggesting specific vendors for us for odd needs (like a coat attendant), and so much more. Booking here was one of the best decisions we made, in the end. I already did all your shopping for you, so you should just book here now and save yourself some much-needed time and bridal energy. :) Truly, you will not be disappointed. I promise.

Laura Barrs(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-06-2015 We wanted a venue that could host our ceremony and reception. We thought having something more like a house than a ballroom would allow our guests to have the space to eat and dance and the usual but to also sit and chat without screaming or leaning across those massive 60 inch round tables. The Wimbish house worked very well. Karin answered all our questions and helped us arrange the day just like we'd hoped. We had the ceremony downstairs in the ballroom and guests came upstairs to the main part of the house for some hors d'oeuvres and champagne until the ballroom was flipped for the ceremony. Afterwards we were able to enjoy the whole house. Music was downstairs along with food. We had food and bars upstairs and downstairs and were even able to use the porch. The house does have a preferred vendor list but was willing to work with others. They also allowed us to bring in our own alcohol which helped keep costs low. All in all, I loved how flexible the space and the policies were. It definitely gave us the freedom to orchestrate our day the way we'd imagined it. Reviewed on 02-07-2015

Diana Shtylman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-10-2012 My husband and I moved out of state a few days after our engagement. So when the wedding planning process began, it was our parents who would travel to venues, take pictures, and send them to us. \r\rWe had our parents travel to quite a few different locations, but as soon as we saw the pictures from The Wimbish House we knew our search was over. The Wimbish House is absolutely stunning inside, and it accommodated the amount of guests we wanted to have perfectly. There is also a certain charm that surrounds the house that is often hard to come by, and we also loved the fact that it is a mansion surrounded by the skyscrapers of Downtown Atlanta. \r\rOur guests were exceptionally impressed with the Wimbish House and complimented the venue immensely.\r\rThe only thing to watch out for is that there is a nightclub that also hosts private events right near by and if you are planning to have your ceremony at the Wimbish House, make sure it doesn't clash with any events at the nightclub, because if it does you may have some seriously unwanted bass coming through during your ceremony. We didn't have any issues with noise from next door, but I figure this is something other brides might want to know.\r\rOverall, we were so happy and pleased with the Wimbish House,it was the perfect venue for us, and we couldn't have imagined having our wedding anywhere else.
