The Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum venue is located at 41 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Savannah, GA 31401. All wedding events on Friday, April 19, 2024 will take place at the same location. There is very limited parking at the venue and we recommend that guests walk or Uber/Lyft.
Our wedding is black tie optional, which means men should wear either tuxes or dark suits. Women should wear a floor-length gown or a cocktail dress. We recommend that women wear colorful dresses in pinks, blues, yellows, greens, oranges and/or with floral accents to align with our theme.
We unfortunately cannot accommodate additional guests due to limited capacity. All invited guests are included on the invitations and will be noted on your RSVP form. We look forward to celebrating with you!
While we love all of your children, this will be an adult-only event. The only exception will be the children part of our immediate family. We hope this will allow you a much-deserved night off to celebrate with us.

We have reserved room blocks at several hotels around Savannah, including the Alida (Marriott), Kimpton Brice (IHG), and Holiday Inn Historic District (IHG). Details and links for the room blocks are on the Travel page. In addition to these blocks, we recommend guests explore staying at a historic inn or local rental to experience the charm of the city. We have included some of our favorite historic inns on our Travel page as well. We recommend that guests book their accommodations early as Spring in Savannah is a busy time of year. If you wish to stay at one of the hotel blocks and there are no rooms left available, please reach out to us to see if we can extend the block.
We're going to keep the party going with a casual event in the afternoon on Saturday, April 20th. We will update you with details in a few weeks. This event will be completely optional as we know some guests will need to depart on Saturday.
