What locals say about us in Coastal Georgia
“Our Historic District courtyard is tiny and every caterer told us no. Sun & Moon set up, cooked and broke down in a space I'd have called impossible, and our wedding welcome dinner felt like a private restaurant on Jones Street.”
“Bachelorette weekend at our Airbnb — 16 girls, hibachi at 8, and we still made River Street by 10. The chef read the room perfectly and the birthday girl got her own show.”
“Tybee beach house, my dad's 70th, three generations at one long table on the deck. They brought everything — tables, chairs, place settings — and we just showed up with drinks.”

Common questions in Coastal Georgia
Can you cook in a Historic District courtyard or carriage house?
Yes. We run a compact setup built for downtown Savannah courtyards, walled gardens and rooftop decks — we only need a level outdoor spot about 10 by 10 feet and a way to walk the equipment in.
Do you cater bachelorette weekends at Airbnbs?
Constantly. Groups of 10–40 at short-term rentals are our most booked Savannah event. We time dinner so the night is still open for River Street afterward.
Do we need to supply tables, chairs or drinks?
We bring the grill, tables, chairs, place settings and all equipment, and we set up and break down. Guests only provide their own drinks — we don't hold a beer and wine license, so alcohol is BYO.
Do you charge extra to come to Tybee Island or Richmond Hill?
No travel fee across Savannah, Pooler, Richmond Hill, Tybee Island, Wilmington Island, Skidaway, Garden City and Rincon. Anywhere farther, request a quote and we'll price the travel up front.
Can we get an invoice and receipt for a corporate dinner?
Yes. Every paid booking generates a Square invoice with a shareable receipt link emailed to you — the format finance teams in Pooler and downtown already accept.
How do we lock in a Savannah date?
Pick your 5:00 PM or 8:00 PM seating, review the estimated total with your package and add-ons, and pay the $200 reservation fee. It is non-refundable, separate from the final invoice and not credited toward your event balance.
