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.

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.

I couldn't have asked for a better Saturday evening in Savannah tonight. I've also been here for an R&B day party. Less dancing/crowd energy but elite song choices. Left a little early to get ahead of a potential line at the 201 Tapas food truck outside. Ordered the whiting and fries. Not amazing but not at all terrible. And the customer service was good. A great option after dancing, yelling, and drinking.

This review actually covers my experience on a Friday and Saturday night in April '26. And if I…read morewent twice, you know it must have been nice! We recently relocated to Savannah from Phoenix most recently, but have lived in several cities over the last 10 years including Charlotte and NW Arkansas. So needless to say, we are equally familiar with big city nightlife and small town kicking it. Savannah feels like it fits somewhere between those two. And 201 is a very good representation of the best of Savannah, and specifically Pooler. Now, from what I can gather, they are open Thursday through Saturday night, with Friday night serving as the Hip Hop night and Saturday catering to the Hispanic community (with a mix of traditional Mexican and Latin music - both traditional and contemporary styles). Thursday night featured midget wrestling (didn't go but heard about it) but I believe they rotate themes for Thursday night so you may want to check before you head out. The bar and nightclub is connected to a breakfast restaurant and located right down the street from Sam Sneads sports bar, Crosswinds golf course and the airport. They have ample parking but no valet, so plan accordingly. Also, one key thing to note. Even though tapas is in the name, they don't serve tapas or any food in the club. HOWEVER, they have a food truck that operates outside of the bar that serves traditional American and Mexican fare (think burgers, fries, wings, fish, shrimp, tacos and tortas) that you can take back inside and eat. And fortunately, the food is top notch with the wings, fish and shrimp platters and the tacos leading the list of recommended items that we tried (try the house hot sauce if you get the tacos - bomb dot com). The fried whiting and the onion rings were some of my favorites- they have their fryer game on point! The club itself is nicely appointed with a beautiful illuminated tree in the middle of the VIP section, a large stage, professional lighting and a pretty fantastic sound system. They also have multiple screens but I don't know if they show games or other programming during business hours as they displayed the promoters fliers during my visits. Service is also a highlight here. From the owners, a real cool husband and wife team that we actually met, to the bouncers and the bar staff, everyone was very approachable and service oriented. I like that there was ample security but it didn't affect the vibe. Matter of fact, a couple of the security staff joined the boots on the ground line dance, which is impressive in and of itself. The DJs for both nights was a bit of a mixed bag, as they employ a multiple DJ format, where two (Friday night) or three (Saturday night) DJs take turns on the ones and twos. Both nights featured DJs that were clearly experienced and a couple that were still working out their sets. However, I actually found that a bit refreshing because it produced a really diverse set list that ranged from young to old and new to classic. Those transitions just need a little more work. Saturday nights highlight was the skill of the dancers! There were some Jedi knight level dancers doing the merengue, salsa, Cumbias and a bunch of other secular Latin dances that I couldn't even begin to describe. Evidently they have Latin dance lessons on Monday and Wednesday nights at 7pm - and yep, I am definitely going. There must have been two men that were 75+ years of age (big emphasis on the plus) that absolutely put on a clinic all night which inspired me! Overall, we were pleasantly surprised at how good of a time we had and because it is so conveniently located, it is definitely going to be one of my go to places to dance and have a drink when I'm in the mood for a good night! And shout out to the ownership. I don't think I have seen a more hands on team in a long time and the level of service shows. They worked behind the bar and in the food truck so I ran into them multiple times and how many places can you say that about?

We used Classic Party Rentals for some items we needed to rent for the wedding and had a great…read moreexperience with them. They did an excellent job of helping us keep costs down while still making sure we had what we needed. We rented chairs, dishes, and tents. They delivered all the items and set up the tents exactly as scheduled and I was impressed with how nice the tents were. The tents they rent are definitely not the same quality as the pop-up tents you can buy so think twice before you try to stick several pop-up tents together. We had guest numbers fluctuate a couple times and Classic Party Rentals never batted an eye when we had to make changes to our order. Overall they were really easy to work with, made the rentals affordable, and were incredibly reliable.

We hired them to supply chairs for my daughter's wedding at Wright Square in Savannah, GA. The…read morecontract specified that they were to deliver chairs for 100+ guests, and the astroturf the city requires for events in the squares. Their representative met with us weeks ago and drew a diagram of the layout, and signed a contract to set up everything at 3:00 PM for a 5:00 ceremony. Our daughter was ready to walk down the isle by 4:45 as planned. Classic showed up after 5:00 PM with no diagram or layout, and proceeded to set up the chairs BACKWARDS! Several of our guests jumped into the fray and helped the Classic folks fix their mess and set up the remaining chairs. The chairs were all set up by 5:30, and our guests actually got to sit in them for 5 minutes before the ceremony began. It was a very short service (10 minutes or so) and the chairs began hitting the back of the truck as soon as the last guest started to walk across the street to the reception at Creative Coast on York. So, we paid $1000 for less than 15 minutes use of Classic's precious chairs. Roughly a dollar a minute per chair. It doesn't stop there. Because Classic Party Rentals was so late getting started, we had to pay for additional time for the photographers, the officiant, the off-duty police officer, the caterer, and the band. Even if Classic refunded 100% of our fee, we would still be out of pocket to the other vendors because of Classic's incompetence. So, if you don't care about event cost overruns, guests meandering around with no place to sit, wondering if they were in the right place, sign right up. If these kinds of incompetencies bother you, move on and find a different vendor.

I didn't know what i wanted to serve so he walked me though the menu and made suggestions. (The meatballs and teriyaki wings were amazing!!!) There is no set menu so you're not limited on the food you want served. I ordered food for 40 people but was able to feed upwards of 60 and still have leftovers. This entire experience from the scheduling to cleanup was seamless. He arrived early, set everything up, stayed until we were done and cleanup was quick. I received more compliments about the food then i did about the promotion ceremony itself lol. I'm looking forward to utilizing this service again in the future.

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!

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.
