Savannah Center

Really like this venue for wedding receptions and ceremonies! I am a local wedding photographer, so I am at more venues than most. I have shot several weddings at Savannah Center - some included the ceremony there, too, in the outdoor area with the gazebo. First off, as a photographer, I really like the cool details in this venue. There's the staircase (to nowhere) which gets soft light from the windows by it - just perfect for gorgeous bridal and other portraits. I like the wood panel area with fireplace for the groom/groomsmen photos. The piano makes a great place to do photos - fun or otherwise. It makes for very cool wedding ring photos, too - with the reflection. The over sized chairs work well for photos of the bride and groom. And there's all the outdoor area/gardens. Even with the buildings in the background, there are ways to get great photos. Also, the food is very good - better than many venues/caterers. Another plus - you can't hear the music from other weddings. The bridal suite for getting ready is spacious and well appointed. Every time I've been there, the staff has been professional with good service. They've even helped move furniture in the main lobby for photos! In summary - I would definitely recommend The Savannah Center to couples looking for a wedding venue with some character and lots of pluses. It has a lot to offer, and they do a fabulous job!

I attended a gorgeous wedding at the Savannah Center and was impressed with both the venue, the attention to detail in planning, and the delicious catering.Savannah Center is tucked off of Union Center Boulevard in a vast green space. The wedding ceremony took place outside on a lovely sunny day. The couple said their vows inside a gazebo, which was positioned in front of a scenic lake and fountain view. The bridal party had a variety of places to take photographs, from outside, to the grand stairwell, to an area with posh seating that just so happened to match the wedding colors.Keeping with tradition, the bride and groom chose not to see each other before the ceremony. Each had private rooms on opposite ends of the building. After the vows, guests were led into a cocktail area, then later were seated in the dining room for the wedding party introductions. Dinner consisted of grilled chicken or filet mignon, with mashed potatoes and sauteed vegetables. I made a joke about mixed vegetables being "filler", but these were very tasty! It was a mixture of zucchini, red and yellow peppers, onion, and broccoli. The steak was succulent and as always, the mashed potatoes were devoured. I also enjoyed the pita chips that were served along in the bread basket. A small salad with red pepper ranch dressing was served for an appetizer. I'm not sure if the wedding cake was crafted by the caterers, but it was moist and savory.Throughout the evening, I spotted Mary, the wedding planner, keeping everything organized and on task. She works for Savannah Center and definitely had her hands full for this elaborate wedding: - Outside ceremony with about 150 guests - Live acoustic Celtic band: harp, flute, and violin - Five bridesmaids and five groomsmen, two flower girls, and a gigantic immediate family - Serving a three-course meal - A live band for the reception - A separate master of ceremony for the receptionAll of this, and she had to keep the bride and groom from seeing each other. The wedding went off flawlessly, and from what I could tell, all the guests were having a wonderful, lively time.

I go here for work events like every quarter. The Savannah Center is one of the largest event spaces in the area, and they can easily hold several hundred people. They can move the walls around in the space to break up the rooms into smaller breakout areas. The building itself is nice...Not particularly beautiful or anything, but clean and new. They have a separate bar area near the gazebo that works great for a cocktail hour or smaller dinner.The A/V in the event space is very good. I've never had trouble hearing people with microphones, even from the back of the room. They have large projectors too. The staff are very friendly here. The food is pretty decent as well for an event space. They have one thing that my company always gets for happy hour, which is this brie cheese apple dip that is AMAZING. I go straight to the brie if I see it.This would be a great location for a work conference or corporate event. I could even see someone having a wedding here, but you would have to do a lot of decorating to make it look less generic.

The Savannah Center is a nice event center, with a very well-kept building and a pretty gazebo in front of a lake and fountain. We recently attended a wedding here and had a lovely time.The facilities were nice, though unfortunately not shrouded from the corporate park and buildings in the area. There is a very large ballroom with partitioning walls that can divide it into smaller rooms, and a pretty foyer for the wedding dance floor. The servers were great- at one point, I had picked up a bottle of salad dressing and got dressing on my hand, and a server noticed I was looking around for some way to wipe my fingers, and came back with a wet paper towel!The food was good- the couple opted for 6 serving tables (2 salad buffet lines, 2 carving table and potatoes buffet line, and 2 tables for pasta). It was a nice idea that the pasta table had a chef cooking on two burners to stir-fry your pasta with the toppings fresh, but practically speaking, it took a long time to get food for a wedding of 250. It would have been great for a smaller group.All in all, everyone had a great time and it all went very smoothly. This is certainly a location to consider, especially if you are thinking about having an outdoor ceremony.

Beautiful venue. Staff is super nice. Have done over 6 events here and they seem very accommodating and willing to work with you. There food is pretty good as well. Plenty of parking spaces.

We got married at Savannah Center in August. Our planner Mary was incredible and made sure that every detail was perfect for our day. They were very accommodating of our requests and on the day of our wedding I felt confident and relaxed knowing that everything was expertly taken care of. The venue and gardens are beautiful and the service is outstanding. All of our guests raved about the wedding, and the Savannah Center definitely exceeded all our expectations.

If you haven't checked out the Savannah Center for your wedding or event, you are truly missing out! It is tucked away in a beautiful location. It primarily got my attention because it has not been used a million times by other people that I know. I knew walking in that there was no other place I wanted to get married. It is charming, beautiful and classy. We had a great experience working with Steve. He was patient and accommodating with our needs. The day of, we were treated like royalty and they were very attentive to us. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

This is a large meeting place and good location for weddings and other big events. The conference I attended here had about 700 people. They actually didn't have enough parking but had plenty of space in the main meeting room. The food was good, though I think that it's catered.

We are at a wedding and I am SO IMPRESSED. Bartenders are awesome. Steve is my new buddy. One server is kinder than the next. Trinette was assigned to our table. She was professional and so accommodating. She was in the middle of serving & I mentioned about bringing a few more pita chips. Next thing I knew we had a full basket of chips. She was the best server we've ever had at a party (& no she is not a relative & I am married, lol) seriously, she impressed all of us at the table. I am cutting myself off from drinks.

Savannah Center made me feel like a Hollywood Star!I had my very formal Hollywood Glam bridal shower at the Savannah Center and loved every part of this very special day. I loved pulling into a large parking lot and views of the beautiful lake and landscape. I loved the clean and spacious and rich restroom. I made my way into our fabulous room and my breath was taken away! It looked so beautiful.I was greeted by a very friendly staff and general manager. He made my soon to be Korean mother in law feel so special at her "first ever bridal shower" through his very genuine and hospitable manners. The food was delicious and service was amazing from beginning to end. I would highly recommend this beautiful facility to brides looking for a classy, hassle free wedding
