Wedding Destinations: Sea Island

One of the most beautiful places to visit is the lovely Sea Island Resort off the coast of Georgia.  Located approximately an hour and a half south of Savannah, this quiet island is rich with southern charm.  With streets lined with live oaks dripping in Spanish moss, pristine green golf courses, panoramic ocean views, wide beaches that stretch for miles and soft, golden marshes, I can hardly think of a more romantic place to have a destination wedding. 

Sea Island has two gorgeous Mobil Five Star, AAA Five Diamond accredited hotels: The Cloister and The Lodge.  They have partnered with Exclusive Resorts and also offer cottage rentals and beachfront accommodations, which they refer to as their Beach Club Suites.  Sea Island offers two prestigious golf courses and three large pools for guests, as well as clay tennis courts, an equestrian center, a state-of-the-art spa, seven different restaurants and a plethora of children and family activities (including their famed Bingo games and various dinners and themed parties).  This luxury resort draws visitors from all over the world, and was the chosen spot for the G8 Summit in 2004.

Sea Island has an experienced team of wedding coordinators with resources to make any wedding dream come true.  They offer multiple locations for both ceremonies and receptions - including a non-denominational chapel.  They work diligently to make sure every detail is attended to.  They provide it all - the cake, the flowers, the catering, the set-up & tear-down, the decor, etc...

Whether you dream of a rustic, vintage wedding in the dunes, a preppy party on the manicured lawns, a garden fete, a beachfront ceremony or a glamourous black-tie afffair,  a Sea Island wedding is truly a fairy-tale wedding!  I worked at Sea Island as an event planner for four years, so I am partial to their fabulous-ness...but I think the pictures speak for themselves on how perfect a place it is to get married!  Not only is it breathtaking, but there is plenty for all of your guests to do throughout the course of their stay.
