He can also roll with the punches -- when we had an unplanned change on the day and needed a friend to officiate our wedding ceremony instead of the planned officiant, he got his mic all set up and our guests were none the wiser. The twinkle lights for the reception also came out beautifully. Thank you Allan for helping us throw an awesome party!

A year and a half and one child later, I am finally sitting down to write this review! Although it…read morehas taken me some time to get to this item on my to-do list, I couldn't not review Amanda Rose Weddings and owner Linda Smreczak because they deserve to be acknowledged for the work they put into making my wedding perfect. In short, my fabulous wedding on Hilton Head Island would not have been even remotely possible without Linda. My husband and I live in Los Angeles, and almost our entire wedding was planned long distance with Linda taking the reins in South Carolina. We made two trips out prior to the wedding - the first to visit venues with Linda, the second to meet with the florist and have our tasting (Linda arranged and attended all meetings with us) - and everything before, after, and in between was taken care of through conference calls and e-mails! Linda went above and beyond to make sure we were happy, and I will admit that I am a very picky and demanding person. She responded immediately to e-mails, which is super important to me, and was always available for questions. When we weren't sure how to deal with the welcome bags we wanted to do - as every single wedding guest was coming in from out of town for the wedding - because we couldn't bring all of the goodies with us in our suitcases, she let us have everything delivered to her home! UPS made at least a dozen deliveries to her house with wedding stuff, everything from décor items I ordered for the escort card table to tiny bottles of cider for the welcome bags. Linda picked up maps and brochures of the area for us to include in the welcome bags, and she even went had our escort cards printed for us. Really, anything we needed her to help us with she was there to do. She also has relationships with truly amazing vendors - our florist was incredible, our DJ so fun, and the dessert caterer (separate from the venue, because I needed a dessert table!) absolutely delicious. Planning a wedding feels like a full time job, and when you are 3,000 miles away from your venue it can feel like an impossible task! But whether you are local or planning a destination wedding, I recommend you utilize Linda's expertise. Thanks to her I had an absolutely fabulous wedding.

This is the place you must decide to have your next private event in the near future. Let's talk…read moreabout a beautiful historic intimate location in the heart of downtown Savannah with the charm and sophisticated architecture that an elegant event would bring. The Room at Common is top notch and believe me there is absolutely nothing common here. Let's give a moment of respect to the Executive Head Chef Shawn and his entire accompanying staff whose impeccable attention to detail in every dish that exited his kitchen demonstrated the depth and ability of everyone who had a hand in slicing, cutting, baking, and curating the most delectable dishes I have found in quite a while. You need an outlandish charcuterie board to get you in the mood to begin the eating festival. The sliders had the perfect texture and the bread was tenderly placed with a delicate sauce. The tomato basil soup in a bread bowl was like heaven. The fried green tomatoes were also a favorite. The short ribs with the smothered collard greens and the cornbread were on an another planet of goodness. You want fresh local oysters on the half shelf pulled from the water only hours ago, well they got you right in house with them lying on ice and a professional shucker right there to serve you with a beautiful smile. Did I mention the dessert bar? Freshly baked cookies, macaroons, mini red velvet cake shooters, lemon puff pastries, mini cheesecakes, and other treats that would leave the sweetest sweet tooth, toothless. The food was Southern, but wound up a notch. It was not boring. It was not common. If you're in Savannah for a work conference or need a place to meet to discuss business with your team, host a holiday party, or have a small wedding reception, do not skip The Room at Common. One thing I appreciate is how attentive the staff is to each guest. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. You feel as if you're one of the family coming to visit. The cocktails are delicious. The wine selection is fantastic and carefully crafted with an experienced sommelier in house. I'm telling you that you will kick yourself if you don't have you people call Leah Ralph to book your event. The food and drinks will make your folks love you forever!

If I could give 100 stars, I would. Our experience at Common Restaurant (specifically The Room) was…read moretruly exceptional. We were looking for a small, intimate, and beautiful space to host our micro-wedding celebration, and after reaching out to many places in downtown Savannah, The Room at Common stood out immediately. When we did our site visit, it was exactly what we had envisioned and more. The space is beautifully decorated inside a historic Savannah building and offers thoughtful features like a Frame TV for slides or welcome messages, private restrooms, a private bar, and the ability to play your own music (which is rare for a small venue and comes without extra charges). Leah was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She responded to our initial inquiry almost immediately, something that really stood out since many other venues took days or even weeks to reply. From the first email to the site visit and all the communication leading up to the event, she was incredibly helpful and reassuring. As someone who works in hospitality and tends to be a bit of a "controller," it meant a lot to feel confident that everything was in good hands. On the day of our celebration, everything was beyond what we imagined. The space looked beautiful, and we were greeted so warmly. Sammy, our server, was attentive and fun, and the bartender was fantastic as well. And the food... absolutely incredible. Every dish exceeded expectations. Our guests are still talking about it weeks later. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the steak was outstanding, and the fried cornbread, fish dip, and cheesecake were unforgettable. A huge thank you to the Executive Chef (who even came out to greet us) and the entire kitchen team. Every member of the team made us feel cared for and ensured we had everything we needed. They truly embody the meaning of Southern hospitality. Thank you all for making our day so special. My husband and I already say that if we ever renew our vows or host another celebration, we'll absolutely be coming back.

We met with a few planners before her, but as soon as we met Kristie we just knew she was the one.

She handled everything and minimized the stress of planning and of the day itself. I couldn't imagine not of having her and don't think it would've turned out half as great as it did without her.
