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.
