My husband and I got married at Cohen's Retreat on Leap Day 2020 (ceremony + reception, ~100 people), and cannot say enough good things about this venue. The staff -- Gabby, Chris, Chef Will, Nikki -- are incredible. They were helpful throughout the planning process, and then knocked it out of the park the day-of. All of our guests complimented the food, cocktails, decor and friendly staff. We picked Cohen's because it's naturally such an eclectic and cool space -- you really don't need to decorate much! And it's a one-stop shop for food and beverages. We also rented out the back cottages for the bridal party, which made the weekend extra special. We highly recommend!

Gabby, Louis, and the entire Cohen’s crew were absolutely amazing to work with! The food was fantastic, and the venue is gorgeous! We added very minimal ceremony and reception decor because the space is just beautiful as-is. Gabby was a dream to work with, accommodating everything we asked for and doing virtual walk-through’s with me and my planner since I was an out of town, destination wedding. Cohen’s Retreat was such a charming, welcoming location to host our wedding!

his venue due to the space, effortless charm, and how easy it was to plan a wedding here. This venue is basically a one stop shop for weddings as they provide venue, catering, bar, tables, chairs, linens, and it is always so beautifully decorated! My guests won't stop talking about how beautiful this venue is and our pictures are so beautiful!

When looking for our wedding reception venue we were looking for something romantic and modern with a mix of vintage. We were immediately drawn to Cohen's with its beautiful and ar...

tsy touches but originally thought they were out of our price range. But after talking further with Gabby and having her explain all of our options we realized it was perfect for us. We had a small destination wedding (we live in MD) in September. Our ceremony was at Wormsloe Historic Site and reception at Cohen's Retreat which worked out perfectly as they're only a few miles apart from each other. I (bride) can't say enough good things about working with Gabby and how flexible and patient she was with us. She was really attentive to all of my numerous questions and was good about calling me back and replying to my emails. She went over every option available and explained everything in detail. I really appreciated her working with not only me but our other vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly. On the day of the wedding I was sad I couldn't meet Gabby in person but was told she was on a much needed vacation so was happy to hear she was having fun with her family! The only thing I would note is that there were extra empty place settings/chairs at some of our tables which made them look a little empty. I'm not sure if there was miscommunication somehow that led to this but overall our experience was great with Cohen's staff. The (I think his name was Chris?) who was the other event manager and our bartender for the night was amazing! He was very helpful and super friendly! Our guests had nothing but nice things to say about him and would definitely recommend to other brides to book your wedding at Cohen's with their awesome event team and beautiful decor.

rn charm with modern design. They were very accommodating and worked well with me to plan the day to my tastes and needs, and it was absolutely flawless. Plus, the food (which was delicious) was made right on site so everything was fresh, we didn't have to go through a caterer or worry about cold or unprepared food. I would highly highly recommend Cohen's Retreat to anyone!

From an event venue perspective, this place is an absolute nightmare. We had issues from the moment our contract was signed, and they continued well after our wedding reception was...

over. The contract is pretty vague, but they're sure to reference it when it works in their favor. Otherwise, nothing for you as a customer is set in stone. The current "event and development manager" (which seems like a stretch) is incredibly rude and unhelpful, and she refuses to work (cooperatively or otherwise) with brides. I never once laid eyes on her throughout the 9 month planning process. Nothing is truly included in the venue rental and the onsite caterer is challenging to work with. They will do absolutely nothing on your event day besides unlock the front door. We woke up the Monday after our wedding to an outpouring of congratulations and kind notes from our other wedding vendors, but all I ever got from Cohen's Retreat was a bill for "excessive cleaning." Stay FAR AWAY from this place if you're looking for an event venue or event vendor. There are other beautiful locations in Savannah that will treat you like an actual customer, and plenty of incredible vendors that are willing to actually help.
