FAQs

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

The average high in Savannah on November 1 is around 73° F and the average low is around 60°F. We are hoping it will be lovely and mild!

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We highly recommend staying in the downtown historic district of Savannah. It is very pedestrian friendly and there is a lot to explore: the riverfront, historic squares, shopping, restaurants and historic sites. If you are looking at a map, this is the area between Forsyth Park and the Savannah River. Another fun neighborhood to consider staying in is the Starland District, which is just on the other side of Forsyth Park from Downtown Savannah. It has an artsy vibe with vintage shops, record stores, breweries, funky dive bars, and a great, graffiti-drenched food truck park. This is also a pedestrian friendly neighborhood, but will be a longer walk (may require driving) to wedding events than the downtown neighborhood. We give specific rental and hotel recommendations (and discount info) on the Travel page of our website.

Question

Where is the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony is being held at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Downtown Savannah (311 East Harris Street). It is located in Troup Square. Fun Fact: The Christmas carol "Jingle Bells" was written by this church's then music director, James Lord Pierpont, in 1857.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive at the ceremony between 4pm-4:30pm. There will be special music being performed during this half hour and the ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30pm.

Question

How should I get to the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony is located in Downtown Savannah, an easy walk from all of our recommended accommodations. Ride-share is also available for those staying further away or who are unable to walk the distance. If you decide to drive to the ceremony, know that parking is limited on a Saturday evening in Downtown Savannah. There is street parking as well as the Liberty Parking Deck (15 W Liberty St) which is about an 8 minute walk from the ceremony location.

Question

Will there be a transfer to the reception?

Answer

Yes! We will have charter bus transportation available for guests to take from the ceremony to the reception. The bus transportation will be available throughout the night for guests to return to Troup Square at their convenience, or after the reception concludes.

Question

Question

What time should I go home?

Answer

The reception will officially end around 10pm, but bus transportation will be available throughout the evening for anyone who wants to leave before then.

Question

Question

What if I have a dietary requirement?

Answer

Please indicate any food restrictions and needs when you RSVP. We are already planning to have vegan and vegetarian options available, and will be happy to accommodate any other requirements you may have.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Cocktail attire: We suggest suits, dress shirts with or without ties, midi- or knee-length dresses, an elegant jumpsuit, or dressy separates. These are general guidelines--we really just want you to be feeling festive, comfortable, and ready to celebrate!

Question

What shoes should I wear?

Answer

Our reception venue is an outdoor, waterfront restaurant. There is gravel, grass, cement pavers, and decking so we would advise against stilettos.
