Our beautiful Wedding
We had our beautiful wedding at the Gillen bed and breakfast in Athens, GA and let me say that it was the best decision we made for our best day ever. From the professionalism to the cleaningness to the amazing day with such care and attention to detail. We loved every moment from saying our vows under the beautiful and natural outdoor setting under the this breathtaking tree to the suites named by Spanish colors with the amazing hospitality, a cloud felt like bed and breakfast made fresh from ingredients from thier garden that next morning ! We couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you Gillen B&B for making our day unforgettable !
The Perfect Wedding Venue!!
My husband and I got married here in April 2023 and had the perfect wedding! The Gillen House is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. We chose April for the spring flowers and they did not disappoint. The Gillen House had beautiful, colorful flowers growing all over the property that were also used for our table settings. The upstairs of the house was a great space for me and my 8 bridesmaids to get ready in and the owners are the sweetest, most accomodating people. They worked very well with all our vendors and really went the extra mile to make our day special. All of our guests loved the venue and we had an absolute blast celebrating. You will not beat their prices if you're looking in the Atlanta or Athens area. I highly recommend The Gillen House for your wedding!
