We hired Layla as our wedding planner for our wedding this spring. So far, she has been great!…read more We're having a destination wedding in Savannah so it's so helpful to have Layla, as a Savannah local, help guide us. She's put us in touch with great vendors and is skilled at networking with the best vendors in Savannah so she has options in every category for us. She listens to what we want for our vision and helps offer ideas and suggestions for how to pull it off. Wedding planning can be soooo overwhelming so it's nice to have someone like Layla help along the way. She's got a calm and kind demeanor that I know is going to be a great help the day of the wedding when I'm sure to be stressing. Layla is super easy to communicate with and always prompt to reply to emails. I'd definitely recommend her.

I had the pleasure of working with Layla on a wedding in Spring 2011. She displayed an obvious…read morelove of what she does, as well as a love of working with her clients to ensure that their special day is perfect. Layla brings a great deal of excitement and creativity to the table, and I would be thrilled to work with her on future events!

Made a weekend visit to Frames N Games in Pooler for some bowling. It was crowded, there was about…read morean hour wait - but all of that was expected as it was raining outside and it was a Saturday. We compared prices for all the bowling alleys in Pooler and Savannah, and this location had the best rate. The staff was able to get to us quickly to enter us into the stand-by que. They also have laser-tag and a pretty sizeable arcade if you wanted to spend your waiting time doing something else. Once it was our turn, we were able to book the 2-hours and get our shoes. The selection of bowling balls were slim, but we made it work. They offer assistance ramps for those who may need assistance and bumpers can be set for individual players and not mandatory for the whole party. They also offer a full bar and food items that looked delicious!

Last week I spent $80 on arcade cards and there are 29 games out of order. Bowling was fine. But…read moreemployees had no sympathy

I used First City Event's DJ, Jeff for my wedding reception on April 23, 2022 at Garibaldi's…read morerestaurant. Jeff was fantastic to work with leading up to our wedding. He was easy-going, flexible, and very professional. We had a phone conversation a few months prior where we were able to work with him to pick out the songs for our wedding reception. Jeff provided his expert opinion which was so helpful in planning our big day. Throughout our wedding, Jeff did a great job playing music that kept the crowd dancing and having fun all night. The dance floor was never empty or even had a quieter period. He did a great job with announcing all of our wedding party too. His wife Bonnie was our wedding planner. She was also amazing. Bonnie is also easy to work with and has a lot of patience. A truly gifted wedding planner who deeply loves and enjoys what she does. We all can't say enough great things about both of them! I strongly recommend using them both for your wedding.

Bonnie was an absolute joy to work with; balancing her expertise with having a GREAT personality. She handled our wedding party, who can be rather rambunctious, without a hitch. Our parents absolutely loved her & are still doting on her (& her team) to this day. We also used First City Event's DJ services and were overly pleased with the entire ceremony & reception music! If I could, I would attach videos of how packed the dance floor was the whole evening. Let's run it back once more, FCE! I would recommend you all 100 times over.

Simply Magical - A Dream Wedding at The Mackey House!…read more There are truly no words to describe how incredible our daughter's wedding day was--but I'll absolutely try my best! The Mackey House is, without a doubt, the best wedding venue in Savannah. From the moment we drove down the breathtaking, tree-lined driveway, we knew this was the one. The grounds are absolutely stunning--the gardens, the fountains, the romantic ambiance--it all felt like a scene from a movie. What truly set The Mackey House apart, though, was the exceptional staff. Every interaction was warm, positive, and professional. They were always smiling, welcoming, and eager to help with anything we needed. A huge shoutout to Dave, who served as both the officiant and DJ. His great sense of humor had so many of our guests asking, "Where did you find him?!" He made the ceremony feel personal, heartfelt, and fun--truly unforgettable. And an enormous thank you to Andie from Emerald & Ivy Events. Her bubbly energy, calm presence, and constant support throughout the planning process--and especially on the big day--were invaluable. She guided us through every step with confidence and joy. Even a bit of rain in the forecast didn't shake this incredible team. Dave tracked the weather closely and made the call to proceed with an outdoor ceremony--and it was perfect. Andie calmly worked behind the scenes with the in-house and vendor teams to ensure we had a solid "Plan B" in case weather forced a change, but we didn't need it! Not a drop of rain fell during first-look photos or the vows, and the sun even peeked through the clouds as they said "I do." Pure magic. We loved how each part of the celebration had its own beautifully designed space: cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing--all thoughtfully laid out and seamlessly executed. The bridal suite and groomsmen's "man cave" were perfect for getting ready. And at the end of the night, the staff packed up all of our decor and belongings, making cleanup and departure a breeze. From start to finish, everything ran flawlessly. The Mackey House team made the entire day feel stress-free--for us, our daughter and son-in-law, and every guest. They treated everyone with such kindness, care, and love--it truly felt like they were part of our extended family. Thank you, Mackey House, for making our daughter's wedding dreams come true. It was the most magical day, and our guests are still raving about how beautiful and joyful it was!
