I used First City Event's DJ, Jeff for my wedding reception on April 23, 2022 at Garibaldi's restaurant. Jeff was fantastic to work with leading up to our wedding. 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.

Mrs. Bonnie and her team did an amazing job coordinating and planning my wedding. Mrs. Bonnie made this process easy and smooth from start to finish! I truly loved Victoria being with my party the day of the wedding to make sure we were okay and we made it to the wedding on time. I recommend them for all your wedding needs! You will not regret it!

Bonnie is very nice and easy to work with! We performed at a wedding last week and saw her team in action. First city events is super organized and made the night a breeze. If you are looking for a wedding planning organizing, don't look any further! I highly recommend her. I'm hoping to work with Bonnie and her team again!

We can't recommend Bonnie highly enough for wedding planning services! She helped us with our daughter's wedding that was held last weekend on the third date after COVID postponements. Throughout all of the stress and turmoil, Bonnie was an absolute delight keeping us sane and calm. We can't imagine their being any other planner with such attention to detail, organizational skill, or passion for her work.

Bonnie and her team did a tremendous job coordinating our wedding! She is resourceful, communicative, provides very helpful suggestions, and is a pleasure to work with. Bonnie adapted to our ever changing plan and was a phenomenal guide and sounding board throughout the process. Bonnie played an integral part of making our wedding as successful as it was - we HIGHLY recommend her!

I would recommend First City Events for Wedding Planning to any bride, especially in the Savannah area. I was living in Chicago while my wedding was in Savannah and Bonnie at FCE was great to work with remotely and was flexible to meet up with my family members in Savannah if they were able to attend something (like tastings) in my place. We also worked with FCE through the pandemic - moving our wedding twice so they practically planned our wedding 3x total and Bonnie was always so calm and flexible through all the date changes. Bonnie helped us select vendors and managed all the communication with them. Bonnie helped manage our budget, as well, which was greatly appreciated.
First City Events also has different tiers of planning packages depending on how much the bridge and groom want to do themselves - this worked great for us as there were some things (like invites / programs) that we could handle so we went with the package just below the Full Service. In summary, hiring First City Events made wedding planning enjoyable and was a great value!
