The Mackey House | Southern Charm for Your Luxury Wedding

The Mackey House is an ideal destination for a southern luxury wedding. Upon arrival, you will immediately feel a sense of tranquility, despite being just outside the city of Savannah. The winding drive takes you under majestic oak trees dripping with romantic Spanish moss. As you turn the final corner, you will be greeted by an elegant mansion dating back to the 1300’s. The brick driveway extends a warm southern welcome to your guests, while the staircase directs their gaze towards the homes captivating beauty. The wrap-around porch provides the perfect spot for the bridal party to relax or for couple to steal a private moment before the festivities begin. Surrounding the house, there are over 150-acers of meticulously designed gardens, trees, lakes and pathways which bloom throughout the year. Each location offers your wedding guests an opportunity to immerse themselves in the renowned southern hospitality and charm of Savannah while celebrating your luxury wedding.

When planning your day, every bride wants to ensure she has room for her bridal party to celebrate. The Mackey House offers exquisite, dedicated areas for both the bride and her bridesmaids, as well as for the groom. The bride’s room has ample space filled with comfortable seating and full-length mirrors ensuring a celebratory atmosphere for preparations. On the other hand, the groom’s area caters to the more masculine side, featuring a bar, TV’s and ample space for the groom and his groomsmen to relax and enjoy themselves.

The grounds of the Mackey House are stunning year-round. Gravel pathways lined with flowers and greenery provide a picturesque setting for bridal party photographs. The gardens, walkways and fountains offer more private locations for the couple to have a first look or exchange private vows before the ceremony. At every corner, there lies a distinct and equally captivating location to enjoy.

Located behind the mansion is an open lawn where the wedding ceremony is held. A paved aisle divides the lawn and ends at a beautiful white gazebo. Surrounded by nature, with lush trees and vibrant flowers, the wedding ceremony becomes even more extraordinary. Afterward, all the guests are invited to gather around the fountain for a group photo, creating a cherished memory of the day.

Beyond the lawn, lies a terrace flanked by trees, while on the other side stands a double-sided fireplace. It is a perfect spot to relax and have a drink from the bar while engaging in conversations with old friends. My favorite space is the open-air pavilion. It offers shelter under a roof, yet allows you to fully appreciate the beauty of Savannah. One portion of the pavilion is adorned with a glass roof, allowing sunlight to stream in during the day and providing a view of the stars at night–it’s as if you are embracing the outdoors. As the night progresses and it’s time to dance, many couples invite their guests to the Grand Veranda. This exquisite space features skylights that create the illusion of an endless sky. Dance the night away with breathtaking views that surpass the height of the surrounding trees!

Choosing the Mackey House as your wedding venue ensures a day steeped with Southern charm and an exceptionally stunning and unforgettable wedding experience.
