2026 Savannah Wedding Venues

Spotlight: My Favorite Wedding Venues in Savannah for Fall 2026

Posted by Matthew Snyder on August 22, 2025

As a Savannah-based wedding videographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing love stories at some of the city’s most stunning locations. With fall 2026 weddings on the horizon, including your special date of November 7, I’m thrilled to spotlight my favorite venues: Hollyoaks on the Marsh, Chapel by the Sea, The Westin Savannah, and The Mackey House. These spots offer perfect backdrops for cinematic films, and I’ll share availability details to help you plan.

Savannah’s Standout Venues

  • Hollyoaks on the Marsh (hollyoaksotm.com): This marsh-front gem blends rustic charm with elegant details, featuring sprawling views and a cozy indoor space. The natural light and serene setting are ideal for capturing emotional moments, especially during fall’s golden hues. I love its seclusion and the vast space to explore, offering new shot locations, plus the marsh provides wonderful drone shots that elevate every film.

  • Chapel by the Sea (tybeeweddingchapel.com): A picturesque coastal chapel, this venue offers a romantic seaside vibe with its white facade and ocean backdrop. It’s perfect for intimate ceremonies, with waves adding a soothing soundtrack to your film. I enjoy its beachside location, the nearby areas for bridal portraits if time allows, and the stunning ocean drone shots, especially with the lighthouse in view.

  • The Westin Savannah: Located in the heart of the Historic District, this hotel combines modern luxury with classic Southern architecture. The rooftop terrace and grand ballroom provide stunning settings for both indoor and outdoor shots. I appreciate how accommodating it is for staff and the wedding party, plus the scenic views and cool-off areas when it gets warm, with the separate reception hall offering open glass views that are a filmmaker’s dream.

  • The Mackey House (mackeyhouse.com): Just minutes from downtown, this 150-acre estate features lakeside beauty, oak trees, and a versatile pavilion. Fall’s crisp air enhances the golden-hour footage, making it a favorite for grand celebrations. I cherish its tried-and-true reliability, the abundance of spots for shooting bridal portraits, and the owners’ long experience, which ensures they fully understand the wedding flow for seamless filming.

Crafting Your Timeless Wedding Film with Matthew Snyder Films

Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime story, and at Matthew Snyder Films, we’re passionate about turning it into a cinematic masterpiece. Based in Georgia, we create unforgettable wedding films for couples in Atlanta, Savannah, Tampa, Bluffton, and beyond as a premier destination wedding videographer. From intimate elopements to grand celebrations, our goal is to capture the heart and soul of your day, so you can relive every moment for years to come. Here’s why a cinematic wedding film is the ultimate way to preserve your love story.

The Art of Cinematic Storytelling

A wedding film is more than a highlight reel—it’s a narrative that weaves together the emotions, vows, and fleeting moments that define your day. Inspired by the magic of cinema, we use innovative transitions, crisp audio, and carefully curated visuals to craft films that feel like a Hollywood production tailored to your unique love story. Whether it’s the nervous excitement of getting ready, the heartfelt exchange of vows, or the joy of your first dance, we capture every detail with authenticity and artistry.

Our recent project, Elliza and Zac’s wedding at Castle Ladyhawke in North Carolina, showcases this approach. Despite challenges like post-Hurricane Helene recovery, we delivered a film that captured their love against a stunning mountain backdrop, proving that no matter the location, we create timeless memories.

Personalized Films, Wherever Your Love Takes You

At Matthew Snyder Films, we know every couple and every wedding is unique. That’s why we start with in-depth conversations and detailed questionnaires to understand your vision. Whether you’re saying “I do” under Savannah’s moss-draped oaks, in Atlanta’s vibrant cityscape, on Tampa’s sunny shores, or at a destination venue worldwide, we tailor our services to match your style and needs. Our packages include:

  • Full-Day Coverage: From prep to reception, we capture every moment with multiple cameras and drone footage for breathtaking perspectives.

  • Custom Edits: Choose from highlight films, full ceremony edits, or add-ons like rehearsal dinner coverage to suit your preferences.

  • Love Story Sessions: A pre-wedding film to capture your connection and set the tone for your wedding video.

We serve couples in Atlanta, Savannah, Tampa, Bluffton, and as destination wedding videographers, bringing our cinematic expertise to stunning venues worldwide.

Why a Wedding Film Matters

Photos freeze moments, but videos bring them to life. The sound of your partner’s voice, the laughter of your guests, the music of your first dance—these are the elements that make your wedding day unforgettable. Our films preserve these details in high-definition, ensuring you can relive the emotions and energy of your celebration. As one bride noted, “Not getting a wedding video is the number one regret for couples”. With Matthew Snyder Films, you’ll have a keepsake that future generations can cherish, feeling as if they were there.

Elliza + Zac | North Carolina Wedding Film - Castle Ladyhawke, Tuckasegee, NC.

A Storybook Celebration at Castle Ladyhawke: Elliza + Zac’s Wedding

In the heart of Tuckasegee, North Carolina, Castle Ladyhawke provided a majestic setting for Elliza and Zac’s picturesque wedding. Surrounded by the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this charming venue seamlessly blended rustic elegance with fairytale allure, making it the perfect location for their special day.

The day began just after noon when I met Elliza and Zac, whose warmth and excitement set the tone for the celebration ahead. As guests arrived, the castle’s sprawling lawn became the stage for an outdoor ceremony framed by breathtaking mountain vistas. Elliza shared an emotional first look with her father before meeting Zac, creating moments filled with heartfelt anticipation and love.

Following the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests gathered for dinner inside the castle’s grand dining area, where intimate lighting and tasteful decor complemented the historic charm of the venue. Later, the festivities moved outdoors to the patio dance floor, where music and laughter echoed against the mountain backdrop.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, we captured stunning sunset photos that showcased the couple’s love amid the vibrant hues of the North Carolina sky. One of the most memorable moments of the evening was their private last dance on the patio—a quiet, romantic end to a day full of joy and celebration.

Castle Ladyhawke’s unique blend of old-world architecture and natural beauty created a timeless atmosphere for Elliza and Zac’s wedding. This celebration highlighted the magic of intimate gatherings in the mountains, making it a day to remember for all who attended.

Relive the Magic

Experience the beauty of Elliza and Zac’s unforgettable wedding at Castle Ladyhawke. From their emotional first looks to their sunset portraits and last dance, their love story is a testament to the romance and serenity of a North Carolina mountain wedding.
