My husband and I got married at Cohen's Retreat on Leap Day 2020 (ceremony + reception, ~100 people), and cannot say enough good things about this venue. The staff -- Gabby, Chris, Chef Will, Nikki -- are incredible. They were helpful throughout the planning process, and then knocked it out of the park the day-of. All of our guests complimented the food, cocktails, decor and friendly staff. We picked Cohen's because it's naturally such an eclectic and cool space -- you really don't need to decorate much! And it's a one-stop shop for food and beverages. We also rented out the back cottages for the bridal party, which made the weekend extra special. We highly recommend! -

Cohen’s was the best place for our wedding reception! The rooms are so beautiful, the food was to die for with so much flavor! And the staff was so amazing. Chris was there to help the groom and I with everything he knew our needs before we did! Highly recommend having your events here. -

Amber Sent on 12/03/2014Cohen's Retreat is an amazing new event space just outside of Savannah's Historic District. We were one of the first Weddings to hold a Reception in the "Art Tank" event space. We had just over 70 guests and it was just right, cozy but still workable.
I recommend this space for the bride that is looking for a venue that is distinctly southern, but with an edge. My fiance (now husband!) are both artists, so we were looking for a fun, eclectic and modern space that still felt like Savannah, Cohen's makes that mark and more. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our tastes and for the vibe of our wedding.
The team at Cohen's is great. Kaney was amazing help at every turn, making sure that we knew all of the details as they developed, she was quick to respond and helpful when we needed even the smallest details like dimensions of tables and numbers of chairs.
Beware, as with most venues, using outside vendors will cost you. We did a mix of theirs and ours, which turned out nicely. Our bar service was provided by Kirk who runs the restaurant and bar at Cohen's. He was really helpful in getting some specific things that we wanted to be served, and helping with quantities when we decided to bring our own wine. Also, his staff is great, and attended to our every need during the event, absolutely perfect! Just be mindful that you will be encouraged to use his service, and if you choose not to you will pay dearly for it. I would highly recommend that you use him for your bar service. We did not try the food so I can't make a recommendation there.
Also, we rented one of the cottages for getting ready and to stay the night-of, this was perfect, and made it easy on us that everything was in one location.
Overall I would highly recommend this space, and we are proud to feel like we were some of the first to discover this hidden gem! -

When looking for our wedding reception venue we were looking for something romantic and modern with a mix of vintage. We were immediately drawn to Cohen's with its beautiful and artsy touches but originally thought they were out of our price range. But after talking further with Gabby and having her explain all of our options we realized it was perfect for us. We had a small destination wedding (we live in MD) in September. Our ceremony was at Wormsloe Historic Site and reception at Cohen's Retreat which worked out perfectly as they're only a few miles apart from each other. I (bride) can't say enough good things about working with Gabby and how flexible and patient she was with us. She was really attentive to all of my numerous questions and was good about calling me back and replying to my emails. She went over every option available and explained everything in detail. I really appreciated her working with not only me but our other vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly. On the day of the wedding I was sad I couldn't meet Gabby in person but was told she was on a much needed vacation so was happy to hear she was having fun with her family! The only thing I would note is that there were extra empty place settings/chairs at some of our tables which made them look a little empty. I'm not sure if there was miscommunication somehow that led to this but overall our experience was great with Cohen's staff. The (I think his name was Chris?) who was the other event manager and our bartender for the night was amazing! He was very helpful and super friendly! Our guests had nothing but nice things to say about him and would definitely recommend to other brides to book your wedding at Cohen's with their awesome event team and beautiful decor. -

User2723283 Sent on 08/13/2016I personally had a horrific experience with the staff when trying to plan my wedding at Cohens Retreat! Since booking my wedding at Cohen's they went through 2 wedding planners, both of which were mandatory to work with ( as they are their own venue planners) and both of which had no idea how to plan a wedding. Luckily, I hired an extremely capable wedding planner that assisted me in finding an alternate venue when, 1 month before my wedding Cohen's breached the contract I signed with them and decided to make it mandatory to use not only their caterer but also their bar. Their bar pricing was 3x what I ended up paying at an alternate venue. Stay far away, their are far nicer and friendlier venues in Savannah! I must add that they did provide me with a full refund when they realized they could not fulfill the original contract we signed, but the added stress right before my wedding was not what I had in mind when planning my special day.
