Beautiful and the team is amazing !
We had our wedding ceremony here in the garden, and then our reception offsite. The location was perfect! We had roughly 140 guests and the venue fit our needs. The ladies got ready on-site which made for a delightful morning. We received numerous compliments about the ceremony and venue. Guests entered through the front of the house, which was not necessary but allowed them to experience the ambiance. Kim (our primary contact) was beyond amazing! She went above and beyond to help make the day special. She was happy to answer any questions anyone had, and helped coordinate with my wedding planner and vendors. Her experience, input, and patience was extremely valuable! She made the whole process easier and it gave me a great deal of ease knowing she was involved. The property also has lodging options which were all rented out by out-of-town family and friends. It was a great way to get everyone together and truly a dream. Everyone loved it! The house is beautiful, the team is amazing, and it can all add a layer of timeless charm or romance to any wedding.

The Perfect Spot to host a Party!
The Illges House was the perfect venue for our wedding weekend. They were extremely communicative throughout the entire process, providing a helpful list of local vendors and being available to assist us in any way. The rooms were beautifully furnished, giving us the feeling of being at home, and the house comfortably accommodated our family for the weekend. The garden area was a beautiful backdrop for our outdoor events. The Illges House was the perfect spot to host our Rehearsal Dinner and 'Post Toast' party, and we don't think anyone should hesitate to book this amazing place.

A dream come true at Illges!
The Illges House was an absolute dream venue for our wedding! From the very first interaction, Kim was so kind, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the entire process. The venue itself is simply stunning - classy, historic, clean, and high-end in every way. They worked incredibly well with all of our other vendors to ensure everything looked and felt beautiful. Kim was so understanding and gave the best advice and recommendations for making the most of the house. The entire experience was just so fun and exciting. All of our guests loved the unique feel and character of the Illges House, and we would highly recommend it as the best venue in Columbus, GA. The vendors we worked with also clearly enjoy collaborating with the Illges team, which was a great added bonus.
