Hotel Bardo Savannah
A restored 1888 landmark in the heart of Savannah, where a grand ballroom and a covered courtyard bring a coastal European mood to a city already made for a wedding.
Hotel Bardo occupies a red brick Romanesque Revival building from 1888, restored in recent years into one of Savannah's most talked about hotels. For a wedding it pairs a genuinely historic setting with a fresh, design led interior, so the day feels both grand and contemporary.
The hotel leans on a show stopping ballroom and a covered courtyard at its centre, with smaller rooms for the rest of the celebration. It suits a couple who want a city wedding with Southern charm and a polished hotel running the day, and who do not mind that the venue asks for a full service planner and keeps catering in house.

How it works
The hotel requires couples to appoint a licensed full service wedding planner for any wedding event, and all catering is handled in house by its own team, with outside food and drink not permitted. That keeps quality consistent and the planning professional, though it does shape who you can bring in, so factor it into your budget and your supplier list early.
What it costs
Hotel Bardo is a luxury property, so weddings are quoted as packages shaped by the rooms you take, the season, the guest count and the catering and drinks. There is no fixed published hire fee, so treat any figure as indicative and request a tailored quote from the hotel, remembering the required planner and in house catering when you budget.
