1. City Parks and Squares

   • Savannah is known for the garden squares of its Historic District. Most of these squares can be rented for wedding parties. Besides the basic fee, which covers three hours, a fee per hour is charged rising to a relatively reasonable maximum for all day use. Fees are also charged for required security personnel and insurance. In the "Regulations, Policies, Procedures and Fees" document that covers city parks and squares, available from Savannah City Hall, the conditions, fees and guest capacity for 23 squares and 22 public parks are listed. Ellis Square, at 750 guests, and Emmett Park at 800, can be rented for the largest parties, while the Fragrance Garden in Forsyth Park provides an intimate setting for 25 guests.

   Private Gardens

   • Savannah's Historic District is dotted with picturesque bed and breakfast inns. The cost of weddings and receptions in these houses and their gardens can be steep. One of them, The Azalea House, has come up with a clever twist for budget-minded couples. Their "Elopement Wedding" package, for couples who book two nights at the inn, covers all the wedding essentials for a modest additional fee. The package includes a garden or parlor ceremony with a non-denominational minister, a wedding bouquet and groom's boutonniere, the wedding cake, a champagne toast, chocolate-covered strawberries, a silk rose petal "turn-down" on the wedding night, and a wedding assistant to help with the day. The Azalea Inn's tiny, award-winning garden, arranged around a pretty swimming pool, is suitable for small wedding parties.

   The Beach at Tybee Island

   • Tybee Island, often referred to as Savannah's beach, provides miles of white sand beaches, rolling dunes covered with sea oats and scenic salt marshes. A permit is needed to use the island's pier and pavilion, but no fee or permit is required for wedding parties on the beach. Tybee Island Weddings offers a range of cheap beach and marsh wedding packages starting with what they call, "The Original Tybee Island Wedding." The package, which costs just a few hundred dollars, includes just the basics--an officiant, a location assistant, and the filing of the marriage license after the wedding. More elaborate packages are available that include flowers, photographers, chairs and food all for a modest cost. The company organizes beach weddings from sunrise to sunset, 365 days a year and offers military discounts.
