I had my wedding reception at the Bibb Mill last weekend and it was ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I wouldnt have had nearly the same wedding if we had chosen anywhere else and it fit perfectly with what I had hoped for! Lindsay was our event coordinator and she was amazing- answering every question, meeting us on visits, being very open about prices and recommending vendors to help me along the way as I planned my own wedding. I cannot say enough about the Bibb Mill-- my family thought we chose the venue first and not Columbus! THANK YOU Bibb Mill for making my wedding unforgettable!

The Bibb Mill is a phenomenal venue. We had the pleasure of booking The Bibb Mill for our wedding. We were originally supposed to get married in Colorado, but because of a combination of the military and COVID, we had to reschedule our wedding in Columbus, Georgia. Quickly I found The Bibb Mill, and it was an absolute life saver. From the moment that I reached out to Lindsay until the week after our wedding, she has gone above and beyond to guide my husband and I through all things wedding in a place we had no connection to. After five date changes, Lindsay, never batted an eye and always found a way to accommodate us for our needs. She provided us with plenty of vendor recommendations and worked diligently to help us along the way. Her communication, professionalism, and expertise goes above and beyond making your booking so easy and pleasant. Not to mention that the day of execution was seamless and exactly as expected. Everything that we had discussed was taken care exactly as expected. The venue itself was excellent. They have a variety of beautiful places all around their property that are truly breathtaking. Their food was incredible and everyone was so pleased with the taste. In addition, the rest of the Bibb Mill staff was absolutely incredible. We were blown away with the professionalism, promptness, and kindness that the Bibb Mill staff provided us and our guests on our wedding day. Everything was set up exactly as asked. The servers were extremely kind and made our guests feel so welcome. The best individual there was Heather the bartender. She was the most life giving, kind, efficient and diligent bartender. She made our guests feel welcomed and appreciated. We couldnt thank her enough for all that she did for us. We are more than blown away with all that the Bibb Mill did for us through the planning process and on our wedding day! We couldnt thank them enough and we are so grateful they were part of our day! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a venue in Columbus!

The Bibb Mill was perfect in every single way for our wedding! I actually ended up booking the venue before ever seeing it in person - and when I visited to do our first walk through only a month before our big day, I was blown away. It is absolutely gorgeous and the staff are attentive and kind. Lindsey, our point of contact, was always readily available and made sure we had everything we needed while we got ready at the venue the morning of. All of our guests said it was the most unique and breathtaking venue for a wedding that they have ever seen!

If I could leave zero stars, I would. DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM. If I had known I would have to deal with Lindsay and the horrible owner, I would have never booked this venue. We were passed along to 3 different people and confirmed with them multiple times on prices and what was on the contract. Then after the wedding, we were told we had to pay $1,300 extra for alcohol because our contract only budgeted for 2 drinks per person. Then when we told them we had contracted for 3 drinks per person and confirmed with at least two other people on two separate occasions about that, we were told that was wrong and never happened. On top of that, you are forced to make a definite decision more than 24 hours in advance of your wedding about where your ceremony will be due to weather. And when we asked if we could let them know early the morning of (because weather changes constantly) Lindsay shrugged, rolled her eyes, and made comments like that is very inconvenient for them and she cant control the weather, and all your guests will leave if you try to have your wedding outside when its raining. Then she proceeded to lie about making a smart a** comment to my officiant, saying Hope youre okay with getting wet. All of these comments were made at my rehearsal the day before the wedding and all my family and friends could talk about was how rude she was and how they couldnt believe we even booked with them. We didnt even really rehearse after that because who would want to. And on top of all of that, thousands of dollars went wasted on the garden and overlook that we couldnt even use. Instead, we had to take most of our wedding pictures in a big open room they used for storage. But yet they still want to squeeze that extra money out of us all they can. If you want a stress-free wedding day, DO NOT HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE.

What a GREAT experience I had working with the Bibb Mill staff to plan a retirement party for my dad. Everything was fabulous and the staff was so accommodating! Planning something from across the state is usually a hard task to take on but Elizabeth was so quick to answer my emails and such a pleasure to work with! Kesha the banquet captain was very attentive during the event and Erica who helped us set up was wonderful! I cannot recommend this venue enough!! Thank you again to everyone for all their help!

Beautiful place but out of the way. Kind of hidden, almost deserted. Our event was a surprise birthday party and the staff worked hard to keep everyone happy. The catered lunch was delicious.

Review №36

Absolutely stunning venue. Gorgeous space. Friendly bartenders. The only reason I didnt give 5 stars is because I had all my cash stolen from my wallet, which I only noticed at the end of the night when I went to tip. I cannot for sure say it was the staff, but we were spending the evening with friends and family so I doubt it was one of them. Just be careful and do not leave your valuables unattended while dancing.

Considering this Building is probably over 60 years old it still has a great way of holding and entertaining gatherers for functions. The River is visible from interior, bay windows. Theres a outdoor section surrounded by flowers that hold a nice appeal. 4 stars for parking complications.

Weve been to many events here. Beautiful venue. But on Feb 23rd, we were here for a Make A Wish fundraiser dinner and was disappointed with the food services. We noticed our table did not get a bread basket when the entree was brought out and thought they had forgotten since it seemed that there were many servers and there might had been some confusion. We asked our table waitress if we could get some rolls for 2 of the guests at our table, which she started she would check. She reported back that they had ran out of rolls but there were dessert tables at each end of the dining area and that we could have all the desserts we wanted. It was a nice consolation for not having some bread. After finishing our main entree of the tenderest roast beef over cheese grits, which we all loved, we headed to the dessert buffet only to find the table empty. No desserts, just stacks of empty plates. So we went to the other dessert table where a line was forming and a whisper started from the front of that line to the back of the line towards us stating that there was no more desserts. We were in disbelief! How can a place like this that book events in advance be out of food?! We were NOT told that there was more coming, just that they were out. It seemed that the workers had either poor communication skills or they werent trained appropriately. After about 15 minutes, more desserts were brought out to one of the dessert table. They were bite size and we got a couple of bites each. I hope they just had a bad night.

We ruined our formal attire, due to lack of proper air conditioning. The salad even wilted in the heat. The bartender wasnt available for drinks during the event, due to lack of staff.The facility is beautiful inside and out, however we unfortunately experienced wilted salad, melted cheesecake dessert and water with no ice. The AC was not properly working.The facility is well maintained and aesthetically pleasing. The house decorations are beautiful, the areas are large and roomy.

Came for a military ball. Event room was very hot on a cool day. Lots of stairs to climb from parking lot for events. Has patio for smoking and bar inside where about 10 bartenders can work at once. Area for photos to be set up and for coat check.
