10 Downing Savannah, GA

y exceptional, I couldn't have done it without him. I received comments from guests after the wedding stating, "best steak I've ever had!' and "the best bartenders ever!" You cannot go wrong booking this venue.

e exclusive use of the terrace, which gave an opportunity for a fantastic cocktail hour and party after the buffet! 10 Downing provided the food, as well. It was delicious! We had many compliments on the taste of the food and the service everyone received. Carter was also accommodating when we had a small snafu with our AirBnb just upstairs from 10 Downing. We had to be out the day of the wedding instead of the next morning. We were supposed to have an intimate dinner in the AirBnb just after the ceremony. When we no longer had access to the AirBnb, Carter got us into their other event venue, The Cellar, to have our first intimate meal as husband and wife. I am thrilled about our choice of venue. It was perfect for wedding!

ease and helped plan a perfect night. We ended up checking the venue out early since we are from out of town and got so the menu tasting - the food there is SO good! We had amazing bar service the night of the wedding and the wait staff was so kind. The room really transformed into a perfect wedding venue. We ended up having about 80 guests (the room fits 74 so if you need more room - book the rooftop terrace as well for seating outside). The dance floor and outside bar was so nice. I’d recommend Carter and his team to anyone. Definitely book if you have the room to accommodate !

enty big enough for our party to have a long, beautiful "Harry Potter" style table with enough room for people to mingle and not be arm in arm bumping each other. It left enough room for a nice size dance floor as well. The open bar ran smoothly with drinks flowing all night. The staff was professional and managed to keep the flow of the cocktail hour, dinner and dessert perfect. The venue is very unassuming and is quite rustic. We filled it with beautiful flowers and candles and it could not have been more beautiful We recommend 10 Downing without hesitation if you are looking for an elegant yet rustic venue with five star food and a five star staff!

commodating of our special requests. The staff was so friendly to our guests and attentive to the Bride and Groom. A special shout-out to the Events Manager, Carter. He helped my Groom pull together his decor vision and worked his butt off all day long. We couldn’t have picked a more idyllic location for our reception or a more incredible staff!

terly phenomenal" per my husband. He was incredibly responsive to all calls/emails from the beginning and was the best the day of as well. The rest of the staff was on top of it and made our day great.

ision was perfectly executed and our guests are still talking about the food, service and wedding as one of the best they’ve been to in a long time. You will not regret trusting Mark and the 10 Downing team with your special day!

d every worry, answered every question and gave us his personal opinions that were perfect. He kept us excited and motivated during the whole process . covid-19 left us uncertain and at times unmotivated about the wedding and mark turned all our worry and doubts around leaving us excited for our big day. He has a way of really making you feel special and it showed right from the beginning up untill the day of. The guests had nothing but great things to say about him and my husband and I felt the same. It's not everyday you find someone who is great at what they do and able to form a special connection with you and your guests. Mark you are truly exceptional and we cannot thank you enough for such a smooth flowing, fun wedding. The venue and the staff were fantastic! Don't think twice to hire him, he will truly make your experience nothing short of perfect !

pace is absolutely beautiful and we could not be happier with the service that all of our guests received. Thank you all so much!! Everything was absolutely perfect.

r able to make it down. That would have made us extremely nervous if not for Mark Royston and his amazing team! He handled everything and made what could have been a very stressful and worrisome day into a dream. The place looked AMAZING, the food was DELICIOUS (everyone is still talking about it), and the team was thoughtful and stayed on top of everything to make our day memorable. Thank you Mark and 10 Downing!

. 10 Downing has that classic Savannah charm and is a blank canvas for the romantic, intimate wedding of your dreams. I've seen so many pictures of weddings held here and no two are ever the same. The weathered wood floors, gorgeous tall windows overlooking Bay Street, cozy fireplace settings and beautiful antique bar areas all add to the elegance and uniqueness of the place. We had a total of 79 guests confirmed but ended up with only about 65 total in attendance on the night of our wedding. The space was perfect! I wouldn't recommend any more if you're looking for a seated dinner with sweetheart and cake tables, though. Having prepared for 79 guests, we took up every inch of the room but were all very comfortable. We also had the rooftop terrace reserved which could provide additional seating but we didn't want to separate our guests. We loved being able to eat, drink and be merry with all of our loved ones gathered together. The terrace was the perfect setting for our cocktail hour and reception, however. Having the extra bar allowed drinks to keep flowing without our guests missing too much time on the dance floor! The staff was excellent, attending to our every need with anticipation and pleasure. Everything went off without a hitch (that we knew of). I'd be remiss though to end without mentioning that the events manager, Mark Royston, was the second most important determining factor in my mom and I falling in love with this space. His genuine love for all things weddings is apparent from first contact. His enthusiasm is infectious, his responses to all communications were prompt and he goes above and beyond to ensure your wedding is exactly what YOU want it to be. You can't go wrong with a wedding at 10 Downing but you'd truly be missing out to not also take advantage of booking Mark and his equally amazing wife, Meg, to be your day of coordinators (at a generous discount!). My husband and I were married on November 16, 2019, the day of the epic down pour, and have nothing but wonderful memories of our day thanks to the hard work Meg and Mark put in behind the scenes. Mark facilitated securing tents for the terrace the morning of and communicated with all of the vendors (and immediate family!) regarding back up plans as well as rearranging timelines. Meg was my right hand woman, in addition to my sisters, and helped keep me together during the night. They're an absolute dream team. I'd recommend 10 Downing and Elegant Savannah Weddings to any and every one!

. My husband and I had a great experience! Everyone comments to this day how much they loved our wedding. Would recommend to anyone. Love Rebecca and Chris!

, especially Mark, are so knowledgeable and very good at what they do! I highly recommend looking into this venue for your event!

was!

oor space and the rooftop terrace and the amount of space this provided for our guests was perfect. Mark was a dream to work with both before and during the wedding. He responded to emails quickly and was always available to happily answer every question we had. We ended up booking him as our day of coordinator and I feel we more than got our money's worth. He is very talented at event coordinating and made everyone feel relaxed, welcome, and important. If you are planning a small wedding I highly recommend this space. Good food, beautiful atmosphere, and great service.

ng so I could begin PhD training. We also wanted a relatively small wedding that would be fun and memorable without going into debt. 10 Downing was definitely an amazing value. It was so much less expensive than everywhere else we had looked in Savannah and, as long-time patrons of Churchill’s, we knew the food would be great (one of our main priorities!). Unlike with many other venues and caterers, as a vegetarian bride I felt like more than an afterthought when it came to food. Most other places didn’t have any examples of vegetarian entrees and had very limited suggestions when it came to custom menus. Mark, a fellow vegetarian, helped me to craft the perfect menu that included both veggie and non-veggie options for our guests. I loved the flexibility of the food options and we had an out of this world tasting before we moved that was well worth the cost. Mark was extremely helpful all along the way. He would promptly respond to all of my detailed questions via email and really helped us sort out all of the details of the big day. I never grew up dreaming of my perfect wedding and didn’t know where to start when it came to most things. I do not think it would be too much to say that I wouldn’t have even had a wedding if we hadn’t met Mark and found this venue. The venue is beautiful and classy and there is so much flexibility in almost everything that it was possible to plan a perfect wedding that truly reflected my husband and my personalities. It was such a fun wedding and our friends and family can’t stop talking about it. Definitely worth the headache of planning. Also, you should get the whipped feta and grilled ciabatta as part of your menu. It is unreal.

ty in 2 months, his knowledge, accessibility and easy manner made my job so much easier. The room itself and the terrace outside were perfect for our event. I would recommend this venue (and Mark) to anyone looking for a place in Savannah.

ons would fit perfectly and was quick with responding to emails. The food was delicious, especially the red wine braised short ribs! Definitely use Mark and Meg's day of coordination. We had our ceremony and reception here and everything went smoothly the day of the wedding. Guest raved about it!!

ly helpful throughout the entire planning process. The staff who worked the wedding also were fun, friendly, and professional. The food was amazing! Seriously, it was the best food I've ever had at a wedding. I highly recommend that you consider 10 Downing if you're looking for a lovely, well-managed, charming venue in Savannah.

ption. Mark was an absolute joy to work with--he was responsive, easily accessible, detailed in all of his questions and answers, provided a ton of suggestions, etc. My husband and I were pretty clueless about what was required for our wedding, but he walked us through everything and made sure we had every detail nailed down. He was able to accommodate my request for pocket-fold napkins (which he apparently is going to do for all weddings now because it was so cute!), helped us customize our signature cocktails, provided great suggestions for the food...I could really go on and on. Every aspect of the venue was perfect. If you are having a smaller wedding and want a beautiful, historic venue, consider Churchill's.

ks were amazing as well as the awesome bar staff. I can not say enough good! We live 4 hours away and I was worried about getting everything taken care of via email and it all worked out perfectly, I would highly recommend 10 downing to anyone considering Savannah for their wedding, you will not be disappointed!
