Chippewa Square – Featured Ceremony Venue – Savannah Wedding Planner

IMG_8017Is Forrest Gump one of your favorite films? Do you love Live Oak trees dripping in Spanish Moss? Are you a history or theater buff? Chippewa Square could be your perfect ceremony location!
Chippewa Square is most well-known for the “Life is like a box of chocolates” bus-stop scene from Forrest Gump. It is easy to see why producers chose this location, for the beautiful trees, and quintessential Savannah southern charm.

This square is rich in history as well, from the center statue of General James Ogelthorpe, who founded the colony of Georgia in 1733, to the Battle of Chippewa during the War of 1812, where this square received it’s namesake.

This square was also the center of Savannah’s nightlife, and still is home to the Savannah Theatre, which is the oldest theatre in IMG_8142America still operating at it’s original location. You can catch a live show at the theatre during your trip and take a photo in front of the iconic marquee. You can even get your names in lights on the marquee. Ask us how!

A great reception venue is also located right off of the square, Bryson Hall. Maybe this is the perfect location for you!

This week’s featured venue is Bryson Hall, located in the heart of the historic district on Chippewa Square. The T.A. Bryson building was used as an automobile dealership in the early 1900s.

Bryson Hall also has bridal dressing rooms, a huge dance floor and a large catering kitchen.

Bryson Hall is one of the more affordable venues to rent out for your wedding or event, without losing any of the beauty and charming architectural details.

Jeff & Stephanie pic 7

This week’s featured ceremony venue is Whitefield Square. It is located on Habersham Street between Taylor and Gordon Streets. This is the only square with a gazebo. It was the last of the Savannah Squares to be laid out and was completed in 1851.
There is plenty of space to place rented chairs for your guests, or if you prefer something more intimate, such as an elopement, the gazebo offers a great spot for photos. If there is hot sun or a chance of light rain on your wedding day, the lush trees and gazebo offer shade and shelter.
If you are interested in booking Whitefield Square, or any of the other beautiful squares in the Historic District, for your ceremony, contact us to save money on reserving the square.
