Hands down my favorite part of my recent trip to Savannah…read more I had signed up originally to do a couples' event, and well, wound up just going solo at the last minute. Anyway, they mention it on the website, but I feel you should know that if you change your mind about what exactly you want to make, they tend to be very flexible about this. I was able to change my selection no issue. The couples' event consisted of two glasses, and well, I changed my mind and made a glass, as well as a little baby pumpkin. Now before you get started, they make you sign a safety waiver and they give you some instructions as to what will be going on. If you get overwhelmed, don't fret because they make this so simple that a child could do it. Heck, children have gone there and had their fun. At least with Caleb, the instructor that I had, this was a seamless process. Caleb was a real gem and somehow I managed to get him to myself. An oddity in itself, but I went on a Saturday afternoon at 2 PM. I suppose most people were at brunch. It was the later evening slots that were busy. Just something to keep in mind if you're like me and get overwhelmed with groups of people. That said, it seems they cap these events at maybe a dozen people or so. Nothing crazy. This isn't the 30ish people you see at your typical painting class. At any rate, once the pieces are done, you need to wait 24 hours to get them. You can either pick them or have them shipped to your house. I chose the latter. Shipping for me was $35 and they came to me exactly one week later. Brandon, who I believe is the owner, texted me with the tracking number. From beginning to end, this was a legit joy. Oh, and did I mention that the pieces turned out beautiful? I'm dying to display them. Otherwise, Caleb provided me with many recommendations for my time in Savannah, including a restaurant I loved. You best believe I will do this again when I return to Savannah. Glassblowing is definitely not something you see everywhere. In fact, if memory serves me correctly, I think Caleb said around 300 people were still instructing this art. Who knew?

Brandon was informative, funny, safe and instructed each of us at our level. By the time we were done with our pieces, we felt like we would be able to make them again!

READ THE CONTRACT, IT IS UNETHICAL…read more TL;DR: Red Gate will charge you full price if you cancel even if they book the date you cancel. I come from a journalism and legal communications background, so I want to be sure that I am stating the facts as clearly and accurately as possible. My fiance and I visited Red Gate in late February to tour the place for our early October wedding. We loved it, and the individual who gave us the tour was incredibly kind and answered our questions. My fiance was especially excited by the fact that there was a miniature donkey available to help serve drinks. That's somewhat important for later. We did a soft hold for an October 9 wedding, but we were told we only had a few days to make a decision since October is an extremely popular month. We had toured another venue that same day that was well outside our budget range, while Red Gate seemed pretty affordable, so we agreed. A few weeks into searching out their recommended vendors was a stressful period of time, especially for my fiance. The vendors were quoting MORE than we were paying for the venue, and my fiance was becoming more and more distressed about the ballooning prices. Given complex family situations, we knew we'd have to foot most of the bill. The straw that broke the camel's back was when we spoke to a coordinator. Red Gate does NOT allow outside coordinators; they have a select list of vendors from whom you can choose, and that's it. The vendor we talked to was more than double the price of the venue, and we were quickly outside of our budget range that we had stated to our tour guide at Red Gate (the vendor was also going to charge for the donkey, which my fiance and I both thought we heard the tour guide say was included in the venue rental price). Since Red Gate does not allow outside coordinators, we sadly had to cancel. Red Gate tried to offer us a different date, but given that we have to move across the country shortly after our wedding for my job, we couldn't flex it. We toured and booked in February and canceled in late April. Which is plenty of time to rebook the October date that we were assured is the busiest time of the year and there was already someone else asking about that date. During the cancellation discussions, we found out that the contract specifies that there is no refund for cancelling. So, Red Gate has the audacity to charge us thousands of dollars for a service we are not going to use at all, a service that we ultimately decided is cheaper to cancel than to continue on, and a service they've probably already double-dipped on at this point. To say this is unethical is an understatement. I feel some responsibility on my part for not carefully looking through the contract, but we were excited and felt a little rushed being informed that someone else was asking about the date. The most Red Gate offered was to cancel the alcohol deposit, which goes a small way, but the right, human action to do would be to refund the whole amount seeing as how we are not going to use any of it. This is disappointing and shady behavior. I'm all too happy to delete this review should Red Gate contact me and offer a refund, but given that they've baked this into their contract, I'm not getting my hopes up.

Our class turned out to be small, which is probably a good thing. There is only one sink so clean up could take a while with a large class. It's a bit pricy but what isn't these days. Our instructor is super nice and very patient. We have no experience so we need lots of instruction. He's kind and gentle in the ways he instructs. He doesn't make you feel bad when you totally mess up. He's also good at giving you encouragement along the way. The first class was all about form and how to work the wheel and clay. I'll try and update my review with pics once we actually make something that we are keeping. There was plenty of free street parking.

Thanksgiving brunch order (2024; this past weekend):…read more Really GOOD that stands out: the fluffy pumpkin cheesecake, Rielsing gravy, the tenderness and taste of the turkey, the amount of portions, the apple pie. Really BAD that stands out: undercooked turkey (red and bloody) as you cut halfway to the bone (see photo): I find this unforgivable considering the high price! The stuffing was good but way too creamy--it was the consistency of creamed corn. The green beans were boring and undercooked (and yes, I followed the reheating instructions). Everything else was good but I wouldn't say amazing. We also ordered the Gouda Mac 'n cheese: pretty good. The tenderloin was perfect!

I just had to let you know. The atmosphere at your venue was simple, but beautiful. Everything was set up and ready when we arrived. The food was super yummy and I went for two helpings! Not to mention two helpings of dessert as well! I was most impressed with the staff who waited on us. They were so very attentive, especially to the bride-to-be. I wish I had asked for their names as they were on-point during our whole event. Every drink was filled and refilled, the food station was carefully watched to keep it neat, and they even helped with carrying the gifts and picking up the wrapping paper. They made the bride-to-be feel like a queen! I walked out with a smile on my face to see such good service (oh, and I took a salted-caramel brownie for the ride home)! Well done Venue 1223! Any event I have, you'll be first on my list to host! Many thanks for the most enjoyable day!

My wife and I visited as part of a community Christmas party. This seems to be a nice party venue…read morepossibly best used for weddings, large parties and business events. The outdoor area was nicely lit for the holidays. They set up only 1 bar with 2 bartenders to handle over 60 people. They did a pretty good job keeping up. The credit card charges show Downtown Deli as the business owner and not Venue 1223 (probably owned by Downtown Deli). The food was pretty good. They had people serving Hors D'oeuvres which were a charcuterie in a cup, spring rolls, chicken, etc. The main course was either chicken, beef or specialty vegetarian dish which my wife ordered. It was basically a power bowl and looked pretty good with long strips of portabella mushrooms over salad with lots of quinoa and vegetables. My chicken was a bit dry and tough. The inside is a large open area for tables, a DJ and a dance floor. The staff was friendly and did a great job keeping food and people moving.
