Services

Our weddings (including vow renewals, commitment ceremonies and marriages) are designed for couples eloping — not small weddings. Simple, stress free, and FUN are our goals! If you must have guests, only five — of any age, are allowed for downtown (Squares and Forsyth Park) packages. Please read package descriptions for exceptions.

Since 2020, appointments are required at the courthouse to obtain a marriage license in Chatham County. Make an appointment here.

Additional information

Any of the packages may be customized to your needs and desires, within the terms of our business model for being an elopement business, not for small weddings. Please read the following information. It will answer a lot of questions.

We understand that if you have a larger guest count for various reasons, however, we want to stay true to our intimate focus on the couple and we might not be the right company for you if you have a lot or any guests.

Elope to Savannah is a business devoted to lavishing our full attention on couples getting married. We allow up to five guests (for some packages) so that you may include children, parents, or your best friends in your wedding. An elopement is classically defined as running off with your fiance and getting married in secret! While we still LOVE that idea and it is our ideal couple to have, we do understand that having a couple of people with you to share the moment may happen and is totally fine.

If there are additional guests in our Elope to Savannah Squares or Forsyth Park packages (not including the couple of course!), they will incur a $100 per person charge. We allow only two additional guests beyond the allowed 5 (for packages that allow guests). This fee also DOES apply to children and babies. Our goal is to focus on the COUPLE getting married and we wish to remain true to that and without lots of guests around stressing you out in the time we have together, we want the day to be about you.

Only two guests beyond the allowed 5 guests may be included for our Savannah Squares and Forsyth Park Packages up to a total of 7 guests with the $100 charge for guest 6 and guest 7

Guests, except for minor, dependent children, are only allowed for Elope to Savannah Squares and Elope to Forsyth Park. Thank you for understanding.

Elopement package information

Your photography time starts with the ceremony and it will last for the duration of your package (30min or 60min depending on your chosen package). However, if you are late, the time we are contracted for, starts at your appointment time.
Packages DO NOT include chairs. Chairs would require an expensive permitting fee.
You do not need a permit for any location unless you specifically ask for chairs or decorations. We rarely ever have to do this and it is not necessary. Our ceremonies are short and sweet and it is simply not cost effective to pay for permits.
If not a resident of Georgia you must obtain your Marriage License from the Probate Court downtown Savannah. The hours are Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. unless a holiday. You will both need to be present with your drivers license and the fee of $66. There is no waiting period, blood test or witnesses required. The courthouse phone number is 912.652.7267, if you need further information. If a resident of Georgia you may obtain the license from your home county and bring it with you if preferred. Likewise, if your former spouse has passed away, a death certificate is needed.

Laughter is an important part of any wedding, including an elopement on Tybee Island

“They were awesome!! The experience was wonderful and all I did was contact them. They answered all my questions I had in a very timely manner and they are all around great people. They made our Star Wars theme a possibility and the pictures were amazing!! May the 4th be with you!!”
