    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.

    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.
