We just got married on Nov 4 2011 and we loved First City Events, Bonnie is absolutely wonderful and everyone else we worked with gave her rave reviews which I totally understand now. She was so helpful before the wedding and during the day of the wedding she ran it and covered everything! I was completely stress free and it went perfect including the reception! I could not have asked for anything more they are wonderful. Thank you so much to you and your staff, and the DJ was perfect as well. He was fun and energetic and kept the party going.

We purchased the Serenity package (full wedding coordination), DJ and party favor package. Bonnie was absolutely amazing. Before I had even hired her, she did a phone consultation with me to determine if the type of wedding I had in mind was possible for my desired budget. Bonnie and I corresponded over my 8 month engagement entirely over email and phone. She was always accessible, extremely helpful in making decisions, recommending vendors and kept track of absolutely everything. She stayed on top of every aspect of planning my wedding, even reminding me to break in my shoes. Prior to arriving in Savannah, I did not think I could be any happier with Bonnie and her team. We got married on a Friday and arrived on Wednesday where I finally met Bonnie, my photographer and visited my reception venue. After actually meeting Bonnie and her assisting me on the days up to the wedding/wedding day, I can't even explain how great she was. She exceeded my expectations throughout the entire process. She came and visited with me at the salon while I was doing a trial run and kept in constant contact with me regarding her schedule and whereabouts. On the wedding day, when Bonnie was not with me, her assistant Britney was. They were both so helpful and on top of everything. During the wedding reception, they kept everything on schedule and Bonnie even helped keep my 2 yr old nephew happy. Bonnie delivered everything to our hotel that we had brought for the reception for us to pick up on our way out of town Saturday morning. My family and I are so thankful for Bonnie. She made my wedding day absolutely perfect and if anything went wrong, I think she would have fixed it before I ever even knew.DJ Jeff was amazing as well. I have been to a lot of weddings where the DJ plays terrible music and it puts a damper on the evening. Jeff followed my requests where I had them and everything else he played was great. Our guests danced a ton and I received a lot of comments about how great the dinner/cocktail music he played was as well. I even asked for a list of his playlist because he played so many great songs. It was such a fun night and Jeff definitely helped make that happen. The party favors he handed out (hats, beads etc) were really fun too and made for some great pictures. I wish I had another party to plan in Savannah so I could work with these two again. They were fantastic.

Bonnie at First City Events was AMAZING for the entire day of our wedding. My cell phone was dead all day, but I didn't worry about a thing because I knew she had it well in hand. I relaxed and had the the best day of my entire life! Many of our guests have told me over and over how smoothly the whole day went and how impressed they were. I highly recommend Bonnie and First City Events for any of your event planning and coordinating needs. Couldn't have been happier. :)

Jeff was amazing! He was such a great DJ. He was able to talk with my husband and totally understand the vibe we were going for. My husband was constantly impressed by the selection of music that Jeff played. And all the wedding guests loved the music and we had a packed dance floor. Jeff was also AWESOME enough to give us a copy of all the music he played at the wedding. I highly recommend using Jeff and First City Events!

We were extremely pleased with Bonnie Kaar and DJ Jeff's service at my daughter's wedding last weekend. Bonnie was so calm and helpful and went above and beyond to make it a wonderful day for us all. I feel like it was the best spent money to have purchased the peaceful day package from First City Events. Bonnie and her staff made sure that everything ran smoothly from the rehearsal to the reception. She even ran out to get supplies to decorate the car since the groomsmen had forgotten! The reception was a huge success due to Bonnie and DJ Jeff! They made sure everyone was dancing and having a good time and all the events of the evening ran smoothly. They know how to run a great party. We all were extremely pleased with First City Events and recommend them highly to future brides!

About the only think that was disappointing about DJ Jeff and First City Events is that we both loved Jeff so much that we wish he could have been our guest AND our DJ :-). Jeff was referred to us by our awesome photographer Teresa at Memories N More because she told me that when her OWN daughter gets married, she wouldn't use anyone else. What better endorsement is that?? We decided to make a trip to Savannah to meet Jeff in person so we could all get a better idea of our personalities and music taste. My fiance and I had so much fun with Jeff that we didn't want him to leave the bar! He was so helpful and pointed out a ton of things that had totally slipped our minds during the planning process. He took our list of "do" and "don't" play very seriously (no Chicken Dance, even though I am pretty sure one of my friends might have requested it!! ha ha). At the wedding, he played the most unbelievable mix that I literally did NOT sit down the entire night. He did such a wonderful job of mixing up the music to accomodate everyone in the crowd and the pictures are proof that VERY few people were sitting down at our reception. He was awesome and you will not be disappointed (well, you might be sad that he can't get out on the dance floor with you!). Thanks Jeff for an awesome party -- we had such a wonderful time. Can we book you our for our 10 year anniversary party?!?! Sara & Jerry

Bonnie and Jeff what a Great Team!! Their DJ's are awesome. Easy to work with. Great at responding to e-mails and phone calls. My dad and I danced to a number of songs and Jeff put together a MP3 the same day I sent over the music I wanted!! Impressed. :) Very helpful! I also recommend getting their favor package for an extra $75... Our guest LOVED the favors!! Made for a great party! DJ's were fun and outgoing as well and knew how to keep a party going.

Bonnie and Victoria were great. They took the stress out of the day-of coordination and I really felt like I could sit back and enjoy everything and have fun instead of worrying about the details. They were easy to work with and really on top of things, making sure everything ran as smoothly as possible. DJ Jeff was great, he got everyone out on the dance floor, young and old, and played everything we requested ahead of time. Everyone was really helpful and nice and took the headache out of many wedding related tasks. I would highly recommend First City Events, especially if you do not live in Savannah and are planning from a distance,

All future brides need to know is to just hire First City Events to help plan your wedding and also to be the DJ. Bonnie, Jeff and their crew were fantastic. So easy to work with and even easier to get along with. By the time you get done they are like family.

I have possessed a tremendous fear of DJs over the years. Bad weddings, bad events that I managed (many..), and just horror stories that you hear from friends. I put off securing a DJ until it was almost too late. I cannot express how amazed I was with First City Events. DJ Jeff made my wedding. He really did. Bonnie at FCE was amazing to deal with - the service is top notch. She worked through all the initial details with me. You always arrive somewhat nervous as to what you may receive with a DJ - but I promise you that based on my experience you receive the best with them. I was so proud for Jeff to be our DJ - literally everyone was dancing. He created the vibe that I had dreamt of. I recommend First City and Jeff without reservation. You will not be disappointed.

Bonnie and her staff helped to create the perfect wedding day for my daughter. Since we don't live in Savannah we relied on Bonnie's recommendations for all the vendors and everyone was a pleasure to work with. She was always available to answer our questions and was so great at dealing with any problems that came up. If you want the ideal wedding as stress free as possible...call Bonnie at First City!

Bonnie and her team made our wedding happen- we came to Savannah from Florida for our destination wedding and it was a dream! We simply could not have planned such a beautiful wedding without her; I highly recommend First City.

Bonnie at First City Events was amazing! I did most of the planning myself but needed someone to take the reins on the actual wedding day. She confirmed all of my vendors the week before, made sure that everything arrived and was in place on time, and made sure that everyone in the wedding party knew where to go and what to do. She also smoothed ruffled feathers of the church custodians. I can't imagine not having her there, she made the day feel so relaxed!

Bonnie Kaar at First City Events was a godsend to us. She took the pain and hassle out of wedding planning for us with great professionalism by listening to our desires and making them come true with great attention to details. Our wedding day was perfect and flowed so flawlessly thanks to Bonnie's hard work. We highly recommend Bonnie and First City Events for their great work.Pete Fetzer and Alisha Taylor Fetzer

We hired First City Events (DJ Jeff) for our wedding... and could not have been more pleased!! Jeff was great!! My husband and I have been to weddings in the past where the DJ was crude & obnoxious, and we didn't want that... Jeff was AWESOME! The music was fun, upbeat, and he just kept the reception flowing at the perfect pace! They are professional, prompt, easy to work with, and will play exactly what you want! Hire them and you won't be dissapointed.

First City Events is amazing! I got the Peaceful Day package and did most of the planning myself. I needed someone the day of the wedding to execute all the details I had spent months planning. What I got was Victoria and her assistant there all day - setting up, moving things along, feeding me when I felt dizzy from lack of food right before I walked down the aisle. They were emotional support on an exciting and busy day as well as the perfect crew to ensure that no detail was missed! DJ Jeff was fabulous - his booth was clean and modern. My guests LOVED him and thought he was the best DJ they had ever seen at a wedding. So all in all from the DJ to the day of coordination - there is not better event planning firm that First City in Georgia. I did TONS of research and I am so happy that I chose them!

It was so easy working with Bonnie at FCE. I chose the "Peaceful Day" package they offer and Bonnie was available for any questions I had along the way. On my wedding day, she was calm, available and incredibly helpful. Tyler, our FCE DJ, was great and my party was amazing. My wedding party just keeps telling me what an easy wedding this was to be a part of! Thanks again!

Jeff and Bonnie were great to work with, and Jeff played exactly what we wanted...there were no mystery songs that made people leave the dance floor. It was awesome!
