Best Decision I Ever Made - PERFECT!

We had both our wedding ceremony and reception with Churchill's and also rented out the rooftop terrace. Our original wedding date was May 2nd, but unfortunately COVID had other plans. Mark is an absolute ROCKSTAR! He held my hand through all of the rescheduling, made sure that everything was covered, and quickly and thoroughly answered any and all questions I had. During the reception, all of the staff were extremely attentive and pleasant. The venue is absolutely drop dead gorgeous - it doesn't even require much (if any) decor. Like I said before, this was the best decision I've ever made. If you book with them, you definitely won't regret it!

Winston’s wine cellar

We did a small destination wedding and had our reception at Winston’s wine Cellar. It was just the perfect cozy intimate vibe I wanted. You don’t even *need* any decorations in my opinion. Carter was very easy to work with and accommodating for a potential last minute rain location. Theprices were reasonable too. My favorite from the food were the fried green tomatoes , shrimp grit appetizer, mashed potatoes. Guests also complimented the short ribs , key lime pies , salad dressing and green beans. Bar staff and waitstaff were great as well. I would choose this vendor again !

The best there is.

The venue manager Carter is phenomenal as is the entire team at 10 Downing! It is an incredible value for the price. Carter was always available and extremely responsive via phone or email. He handled everything with ease and made my wedding day exceptional, I couldn't have done it without him. I received comments from guests after the wedding stating, "best steak I've ever had!' and "the best bartenders ever!" You cannot go wrong booking this venue.

Perfect Reception Venue

We booked 10 Downing and the rooftop for our wedding and The night couldn’t have been more perfect. Carter took over for Mark as the event manager and Carter was amazing to work with. He answered every email and put us as a wedding couple at ease and helped plan a perfect night. We ended up checking the venue out early since we are from out of town and got so the menu tasting - the food there is SO good! We had amazing bar service the night of the wedding and the wait staff was so kind. The room really transformed. We ended up having about 80 guests (the room fits 74 so if you need more room - book the rooftop terrace as well for seating outside). The dance floor and outside bar was so nice. I’d recommend Carter and his team to anyone. Definitely book if you have the room to accommodate !

Wedding Planner

We used Mark for our daughter's wedding 10/16/21 at the Savannah Yacht Club. His name should be reMarkable Royston! From start to finish, every detail, this gentleman knows his work and he executes flawlessly. I'd say we are high maintenance in terms of details, schedules, etc. and Mark never missed a beat. He actually allowed to me to sit back and enjoy the day feeling we were in more than capable hands. If you are considering, stop and hire him- it was the best decision we made for the entire wedding! Thank you Mark to you and Caryn for making the day even more joyful and enjoyable on every level! Sign us up for the next daughter!

Outstanding Venue

The venue was very classy and elegant, you have your own restrooms, bar, and kitchen + chef, and the manager Mark is incredible. It was perfect for our wedding, though I know they host more than just weddings.

IF it is your wedding, ask about Elegant Savannah Weddings for your wedding planner. You can thank me later!

The food at this venue is amazing as well. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Perfect Venue!

10 Downing was the absolute perfect venue for our intimate wedding!! Mark was a gem to work with and no request was too big and he made sure no detail went overlooked! When I walked into the reception space on our wedding day, I had tears! My vision was perfectly executed and our guests are still talking about the food, service and wedding as one of the best they’ve been to in a long time. You will not regret trusting Mark and the 10 Downing team with your special day!
