Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Lauded as one of the top B&Bs in the world, this luxurious Savannah landmark is comprised of two adjacent mansions built in 1868. The grand décor, intimate atmosphere, and convenient location within walking distance of River Street, City Market, and Forsyth Park make it ideal for a destination wedding.
  • The exquisite Gastonian Gardens evoke a magical, hidden-away feel. Intimate ceremonies are often held before before the pretty, three-tiered fountain, framed by rows of lush evergreen plantings, brick borders, and climbing ivy along the interior walls. 
  • Enjoy a truly romantic getaway in the large, sumptuous Honeymoon Suite, which boasts a king-sized bed, an oversized whirlpool tub with sheer drapes, gleaming herringbone wood floors, large mirrors, and plush, elegant furnishings. Or, opt for a half- or whole-house rental and invite up to 36 of your loved ones to stay the weekend with you—a generous Southern made-to-order breakfast is always included.

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

What's included when we book The Gastonian, and what will we still need to pay for separately?

The Gastonian's elopement package in Savannah is all-inclusive: you bring each other, your wedding attire and your marriage license. It covers a two-night stay for the two of you, turn-down service with champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries, silver-tray breakfast service, a ceremony in the garden courtyard or parlor, a justice of the peace or minister, a rose bouquet and boutonnière, an 8-inch wedding cake with a champagne toast, and an elopement coordinator for planning and the day itself. A 20% service charge applies on top.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at The Gastonian, or will guests need to travel between them?

Yes. The Gastonian hosts ceremonies in its garden, where intimate weddings often gather by the three-tiered fountain, or in the parlor. A Garden Courtyard Wedding holds up to 36 guests, and if you book the entire property, the inn can host up to 50 at your reception. You can also keep it to an elopement for two or an intimate ceremony for up to 8 people, couple included.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to The Gastonian or do we have to use yours?

You've got options at The Gastonian. The inn can provide appetizers, but full meals need a caterer, and you can pick from a preferred list or bring your own. For drinks, the inn provides champagne and can provide wine, or you can bring your own alcohol and pay a corkage fee. Your elopement package already covers the officiant, bouquet, boutonnière, cake and a coordinator.

What should we realistically expect to spend on a wedding at The Gastonian, and is there a minimum?

Wedding packages at The Gastonian in Savannah start at $2,699, the rate for an off-season or weekday elopement. That covers two nights for the two of you, a garden courtyard or parlor ceremony, an officiant, flowers, an 8-inch cake, a champagne toast and a coordinator. Your price moves with the day of the week, time of year, guest count and how long your event runs, and a 20% service charge applies. If you're planning a full meal, budget for a caterer too, since the inn provides appetizers but not meals.

Where would our out-of-town guests stay near The Gastonian, and can you help with a room block?

Your guests can stay right at The Gastonian, two adjoining mansions in Savannah. Rent the whole house and it sleeps up to 36 guests for a weekend, with a made-to-order Southern breakfast included, and children are welcome when you book the entire house (otherwise the inn doesn't host children). Rooms range from Classic Queens to the Caracalla honeymoon suite and the Oglethorpe Penthouse, a favorite with wedding couples. Check-in is 4pm, check-out is 11am, and breakfast runs 7:30am–10am in the dining room or under the pergola. Guests can park in the on-property lot, first come, first served, or in a second lot a block away.

What makes The Gastonian different from the other venues near it?

The Gastonian is a historic bed and breakfast made for small weddings, set in two adjoining mansions in Savannah within walking distance of River Street, City Market and Forsyth Park. Its all-inclusive elopement package bundles your ceremony, officiant, flowers, cake, coordinator and a two-night stay, starting at $2,699. For a bigger gathering, rent the whole house to sleep up to 36 guests and host up to 50 at your reception. Ceremonies happen in the garden by the three-tiered fountain or in the parlor.
