I'd like to begin by saying how surprised I am this place has so few reviews! It's incredible. Seriously. My new husband and I threw together an intimate wedding on about four months notice and a modest budget when life threw a wrench in our or...iginal plans for a big wedding in the fall. We couldn't have been happier with our experience at the Forsyth Park Inn.
From the moment we got in touch with the Forsyth Park Inn, we were at ease with our decision. We were planning long-distance, and every call that we made was answered warmly with great information and attention to our needs and preferences. The venue provided us with a list of vendors, but were more than capable of keeping up with all of our details, even though we chose a makeup artist and photographer who weren't on their list. If you choose the Forsyth Park Inn, do keep in mind that their packages come with a coordinator, not a planner, so you will need to make the calls and send the emails for any outside vendors yourself.
As for the venue itself, we could not have asked for more, and our guests LOVED the place. We booked all but two of the rooms for three days, and the entire staff kept us comfortable, relaxed, and well-fed throughout our stay. I was a bit of an anxious bride, and having such great hospitality from Duane and the gang really took the pressure off. Meals were served promptly and were absolutely delicious, and there were always glasses of cold water or tea and snacks for our guests when they stopped in for a respite from the Savannah heat. The grounds were gorgeous and well kept, and each room is clean impeccably decorated.
Above having a great environment for our guests, Andrea was a wonderful asset on the day of. She's not a commanding presence--I've not been involved in the planning process for many weddings, and for some reason I had an idea that a wedding coordinator would be like a general barking out orders to battalions of vendors. I didn't see much of her on the day of, but when I did, she was quick and direct with her questions, and very unobtrusive. It was only after the fact that I realized how many little fires she and Duane had put out without my even knowing, which on a day when things are happening so quickly is EXACTLY what you want. There weren't many hiccups (none of which could be attributed to the Inn), and Andrea and the team handled each one quickly and professionally. We couldn't have asked for better. That's not even to mention how great the GORGEOUS photos.
In closing, if you're looking for an intimate spot for a wedding in the Savannah area, look no further than the Forsyth Park Inn!
