    Excellent customer service from booking to execution

    We held our wedding welcome party at Vic's. Everything we discussed was well executed and delivered beyond our expectations. Marnie and Katherine were very easy to work with and provided exemplary customer service from booking to execution. The food was delicious and the room was beautiful. I highly recommend hosting an event at Vic's.

    BEST wedding reception venue!

    Marnie and Joey at Vic’s on the River made our wedding day dreams come true! We had a sit down dinner reception in the Stoddard Room with about 60 people. Covid did not make things easy but Marnie just rolled with everything when we had to make changes and guest list edits. She helped us make our menu selections to work with our gluten free and vegetarian guests, and had everything decorated perfectly the day of. The flowers they chose for the event matched our wedding flowers exactly and the layout of the room was exactly as I imagined it! My husband and I don’t drink so we had a dry reception and Marnie helped us put together some fun non-alcoholic drink options that our guests just raved over! A delicious cranberry ginger spritzer, sparkling cider, and the most AMAZING hot chocolate bar really helped the event to feel extra special and cozy. And of course it goes without saying that the food at Vic’s is top notch. We can’t recommend Vic’s enough!!

    Amazing team!

    Joey and his team were absolutely amazing. We were involuntary members of the COVID Wedding Club and unfortunately could not have our event. That being said Joey was extremely accommodating, flexible and above all understanding of our situation. We were able to work out a fair resolution for all parties. We are extremely sad we could not work with Joey and the Vic's team in the capacity we would have liked as just from our limited experience with them it was bound to be a great event. Highly recommend!

    Wonderful Welcome Dinner

    We had a destination wedding and decided to host our welcome dinner/rehearsal dinner at Vic's in their Dieter's Den. It was the best decision and we still hear raving reviews from our guests. Affordable and beautiful, Joey and Justyna made sure that our dreams of the perfect dinner came true. The food was delicious, the staff was accommodating and kind, the menu and centerpiece flowers were stunning(!!!) and the ability to play music from a speaker made the night all the sweeter. What a wonderful night and memory!

    Five-star November wedding

    We had the most amazing experience with Joey and Justyna at our wedding reception. The moment we stepped into the banquet room, our mouths dropped because the venue was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. The food was incredible as well- per special request, the chef made his own version of croquetas as a surprise to the Cuban groom and, even a year later, he still can't stop talking about them! Not to mention, before we could even reach the restaurant after picture-taking, Joey found us with our favorite cocktails- they thought of everything!

    The perfect wedding!

    I had my wedding ceremony and reception on 10/26/19 at Vic's on the river in the Stoddard Hall and the whole event from beginning to end was amazing! Joey and Justyna were awesome and were always there when I needed something. They were super responsive and so accommodating with our schedules when we needed to have a meeting. They were always right on top of things and executed everything wonderfully. They kept my glass full along with guests glasses full all night. The food was amazing and we received so many compliments on the ribeye, scallops and chicken. I had not seen the room prior to walking down the aisle and it blew me away. The pictures came out beautifully all throughout the venue. Everything looked exactly like I had described to Justyna and Joey down to tiniest detail. The flowers were provided by Vic's and were absolutely beautiful and matched the florist's flowers beautifully. The staff were so attentive to all of the guests. It ended up raining and so we could not go outside in between the room flip and Joey moved us into cocktail hour so smoothly! I changed into a cocktail dress after the ceremony and Joey was right there to grab it and kept it safe until I picked it up the next day along with all of our things that were packed nicely to pick up. They made our day stress free so that we were able to enjoy our day. It was affordable and within budget and I would not hesitate to book Vic's again for any events that I may have in the future. I can never thank Vic's on the River, Justyna, Joey, and the staff enough for going above and beyond to give us the best experience on our wedding day!

    What a perfect day!

    Vic's was amazing from start to finish! Communication was amazing especially considering we had never been to Georgia and planned our wedding from Michigan. I couldn't be more happy with the way things turned out. The service was amazing and the lunch went so smoothly without any hiccups. Everyone loved the amazing food that was cooked to PERFECTION and everyone wants to go back for more. The den was perfect for our small party with beautiful views overlooking the river. We already plan on returning to celebrate our anniversary with Vic's. What an amazing experience.

    Best and Affordable Venue!

    Vic's on the River was truly amazing! They hosted our rehearsal dinner and our wedding reception. They provide flowers of your choice, tables, chairs, linens, set up of decor, the wonderful space, and delicious food options! Joey and Justyna made everything so easy, they were great with answering all my crazy questions and explained everything wonderfully! My favorite thing about Vic's was how affordable it is, with everything they provide to you and the location you can't beat it! They made our wedding absolutely flawless and we highly recommend choosing Vic's for your wedding!

    Beautiful stress-free wedding with great food

    We had our wedding at Vic's this past April and it was beautiful. The room was set up exactly as I requested; the specific service details were completed as requested as well. The flowers provided by Vics were beautiful and matched those provided by my florist perfectly. The service staff was amazing. We had a small number of guests (40) and they remembered everyone's drink order and kept my glass full all night. The attention paid to bride and groom was memorable. Overall, everything was perfect. People said the wedding was the most fun they've been to and that the food was amazing.

    The perfect place!

    Vic's was amazing!! We originally had booked the Olde Pink House, which unfortunately was closed due to a recent fire - but everything happens for a reason! If I had to do it all over again, I would absolutely choose Vic's on the River. I am over the moon with our wedding reception. Justyna and Joey were so incredible with organizing the event. They not only helped our guests find where we were having our reception, Justyna even met my husband and me outside and held and umbrella for us (since it only rained while we were outside from the church going to Vic's of course lol). Justyna even helped my mom bustle my dress...she is beyond a pro, and made it so easy and special for all of us! The food selection was fantastic, the tables were set beautifully, and the staff were the best. They even had someone run and grab a bottle of blush champagne because they heard it was my favorite! The flowers and centerpieces that were provided by Vic's not only matched my personal flower colors perfectly, they were gorgeous and way better than I ever expected. We are still in awe of how wonderful the entire experience was with Vic's on the River and so so thankful that we were fortunate enough to have our wedding reception there. It will forever be one of my favorite places, and I can't wait to go back! I can't say thank you enough times for the amazing memories Vic's on the River provided. (P.S.all of that and we were under budget!!)

    Picture Perfect Vow Renewal Luncheon

    The special events team at Vic’s on the River is amazing. We hosted our vow renewal lunch in the Dieter’s Den on 2/16/19 and I can’t imagine doing it anywhere else. I am a wedding planner and I knew that when it came to my own day, I needed a team who would take care of everything from the food to the flowers to implementing the decor that I provided.

    From the first meeting, I was treated like royalty, even though my event was to be small and relatively inexpensive in comparison with some of the big receptions that are hosted at Vic’s. They helped me choose the menu and the layout for the room, and my two vegetarian guests were accommodated beautifully. I sent a few photos for floral inspiration and then dropped off my vases, decorations, linens, chargers, and napkins and left the rest to the team at Vic’s. I was so impressed with the floral arrangements and with the attention that was paid to even the smallest details of the decor. Even my napkins were folded exactly like the photo I sent.

    Our guests were equally impressed with the quality of the food and the top-tier service. Everything was picture-perfect and delicious.

    We hired an outside coordinator for the day, to organize the ceremony and the timeline, and the staff at Vic’s worked with her to pack up all the decorations and rentals and get them into her vehicle after the event.

    I am so glad I chose this venue. Vic’s made sure that I had a perfect day and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful, conveniently located venue to host anything from a baby shower to a Black Tie wedding reception.

    Amazing venue and team!

    We hosted my son's rehearsal dinner at Vic's. Their staff provided us with 5 diamond concierge service to make the event memorable and exceed expectations. Joey was responsive and helped us plan the event from Florida . His experience in event planning was especially helpful. The Vic's team flawlessly executed which gave me tremendous peace of mind....I left everything I wanted to have done with them the day before the event, went to the rehearsal and walked into perfection. I highly recommend this beautiful venue!

    Best Reception Ever

    The space was perfect. Joey and Justyna could not have done a better job of taking care of us. They made the process smoother than we could have hoped for. The location was perfect, and the everyone loved the dinner that they customized for us. We couldn't say enough good things about Vic's.

    I don’t even know where to begin. Our wedding was a completely wonderful experience thanks to Joey and Justyna. Our wedding was a destination wedding, so we mostly communicated through email and multiple phone calls, to which they were always timely answered and patient with my questions. The actual wedding day was so organized, laid back, and intimate. Both Joey and Justyna really listened to our vision and ideas to help make our day so enjoyable for our friends and family. The food, from the hor d'oeuvres to the dessert, was amazing. The service staff was kind and accommodating. And most of all, the venue was gorgeous. I couldn’t have dreamed of a more beautiful wedding day. I highly recommend this venue and their wonderful staff for any event, or even just a great dinner!

    Delicious Food, Excellent Staff, Gorgeous View

    We absolutely love working with Joey and Justyna at Vic's! Every single wedding and event is flawless. They are so kind, organized, and absolute pros! The view is stunning- right on the water, it feels so private and cozy, but has enough room for a party. Parking, unlike practically everywhere else in Savannah, is EASY! They have dedicated valet parking, and if the lot is full, there are several garages nearby. Last, but certainly not least, the food! The chefs are incredibly talented, delivering stunning, delicious dishes, whether received as a guest or vendor. All around, Vic's is the perfect place in Savannah to host your next event! - Elena Edwards, Island Sound DJs

    We couldn't recommend more highly Vic's on the River for your wedding reception. The events team of Joey and Justyna were simply amazing for the 14 months leading up to our wedding, on the day/night, and after. Flexible, energetic, understanding and fun.

    The food is simply amazing, and the size of the room offers the best mix of intimate and spacious for a truly engaging atmosphere.

    We think the views speak for themselves.

    We were blown away by the service at Vic's. We initially came to Vic's the night we were engaged for dinner and then decided to have our rehearsal dinner there as well. We selected three entrees to be served family style and the amount of food that each person received was amazing. Everything was plated and all three entree's were on each persons plate and the sides were at the table to pass around. The food was delicious and OH the cheesecake (WOW!). Joey and his staff was so kind and helpful throughout the whole process. they checked in on me and my fiancé to make sure we had drinks and everything was going smoothly. The fact that Vic's accommodated everything (flowers, tables, chairs, table clothes, TV for slideshow, etc) saved us a ton!

    We couldn't have been happier with Vic's on the River as our wedding reception location for October 27, 2017!

    Location- We chose this location based on our previous experience at their restaurant. The food is stellar, which is very important to us. We had to make a few menu changes due to religion dietary restrictions, and Vic's was extremely accommodating. We had several complements from guests on how excellent the food was! We used the Stoddard Room, which is lovely. The brick, wood, beautiful chandeliers, and view of the river complete the space. The elegance of the room means little decor is needed. I'm not artsy and have a demanding job, so this was very important to me. That being said, you can always add additional decor if you are interested.

    Service- Joey and Justyna (special events leads) are top notch. I didn't hire a planner and live in NYC, so their experience and depth of knowledge in the local market was extremely valuable! Justyna and Joey provided vendor recommendations, guidance, and really went above and beyond. When we arrived in Savannah for the wedding we dropped off our supplies and they handled everything, which was fantastic. Justyna and Joey even used the photos I provided of my bouquets to prepare centerpieces that were a perfect match! On our wedding day I couldn't have asked for better service. Joey is truly a jack of all trades. He gave us our first drink and one of each of our appetizers for our guests at a small private bar. This short time alone was perfect! He even bustled my dress, got us ready for announcement, brought us drinks, stepped in at the bar, and was always there for us if we needed anything. He is truly one of those people who will step in anywhere it's needed, irrespective of whether it's part of the job.

    All in all, I couldn't have been happier. I'd work with Vic's on the River, Joey, and Justyna again in a heartbeat!

    Words cannot describe how awesome Joey & Justyna are, especially as someone who didn't have a wedding planner. They were super fast answering my endless email questions. When I dropped off the things I wanted out at our reception, I just told them to put things where they thought it made sense. They provided table numbers and an easel for the seating chart, along with candles and floral centerpieces ( we sent them our pinterest and the centerpieces matched the bouquets so perfectly). It was all set up so beautifully. During the reception, we were treated so well and they made sure we got to eat-even packed up our leftovers for us to take home! I had a dress mishap and Joey came to my rescue so I could get back on the dance floor. They also completely handled our sparkler send-off. We are still getting texts about how awesome the food was. This is the place if you want to have a stress free night that you actually enjoy!!

    I used Vic's on the River for my wedding this past weekend and it was absolutely amazing. Incredibly easy to work with. Able to do everything over email/phone since I live in SC. The day before the wedding I dropped of decorations and they said they would decorate no problem. When we arrived after the ceremony, I couldn't be any happier. We had the Dieters Den space with 32 people. It was perfect for that. They did an impeccable job of decorating and organizing the room and it was exactly what we imagined. The service and food was fantastic. Everyone was full and happy at the end of the night. Also, everyone always had a full drink. We were able to come back to Vic's the following morning to collect the decorations. Easy. Delicious. Great service. Helped make our wedding day perfect.

    Absolutely amazing! Joey and Justyna are fantastic. Our ceremony and reception was PERFECT! The food was great, the space was great and the centerpieces they created came out beautiful! We had over 95 guests, and the room flipped in less then 10 minutes! We looked at multiple venues in the area and I am SO happy we picked Vics!

    We cannot say enough good things about our wedding at Vic's! We planned our wedding in Savannah as a destination wedding and from day one Joey and Justyna have been extremely responsive and accommodating. They made the set up and clean up process painless for us and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Everything looked beautiful and the service was second to none. I've heard so many brides say they didn't get a chance to eat on their wedding day. That wasn't an issue because we had everything delivered to our table. The food and drinks were fantastic! We would highly recommend Vic's for a ceremony and reception location. They will not let you down!

    I had my wedding reception at Vic's in October of 2016, in both Victor and Stoddard Halls. The space was the perfect size for our 140 guests, and Joey and Justyna are the bomb.com when it comes to coordination. They decorated the space exactly like I envisioned, they dealt with all of our crazy questions, and they were a constant source of calm throughout the wedding planning process. Joey and Justyna thought of all the details from bringing food out to the bridal party while we took pictures to making sure my groom and I never had an empty glass. They also created centerpieces for our tables and floral accents for the buffet tables all of which was included in the cost of the venue (this alone boggles my mind). The arrangements were exactly what we wanted and made the room so elegant! The food was also amazing - I literally had one guest tell me they had a dream about the crawfish beignets a few days later. We were so, so pleased with our experience at Vic's, and I am so glad that we had our reception here. If you're looking for a venue in Savannah with five-star food, top-notch service and gorgeous views, Vic's is seriously the best!
