Sweet Southern Charm

That cute distinct southern accent isn't the only good thing you get from coming down South, we also offer some of the most gorgeous wedding locations for your perfect wedding! Not only do we have the coast with a perfect beach location, but we also have the warm sunny weather to back it up! When you are planning a wedding down South and especially when you are bringing your guests in from out of town you want to create that 'Southern' feeling and make everyone feel right at home- after all, that's what we do best down here! The best way to create that feeling is to tie in as much 'southern charm' through each and every detail throughout the wedding. It's the smallest details that make the biggest difference. You can start with the Save the Dates and invitations and go from there adding just a touch of more detail as you go. By adding different signature accents or designs to your Save the Dates and invitations you can first establish your theme and use that design or accent throughout the wedding. For example, you could use the signature seashell representing the coast and place that on the invitations and then use it on little things like napkins and the place cards for your reception or you can even tie it into your wedding favors.



St. Simons and Savannah have so many unique choices to add a little spice to your ceremony or reception. Both St. Simons and Savannah have local trolley tours that could provide transportation to and from your ceremony and reception! (http://www.oldsavannahtours.com/, http://www.stsimonstours.com/) This is a different way to give your guests a fun little activity while providing them with transportation too!
Of course food is another thing that the South has managed to do well. There are a lot of southern dishes that you can serve during your reception for appetizers or the main course. One of our fav vendors is Straton Hall on Jekyll Island that can provide anything from shrimp and grits to any type of meat you can think of! They can cater any where in the Golden Isles and will travel to Savannah too! (http://www.stratonhall.com/) Creative Catering is another one of our preferred vendors (http://www.creativecateringga.com/) and they specialize in catering to any size group anywhere in Savannah and the Low Country!
