Elegant Savannah Weddings

r very first call, and we immediately loved how honest, caring, and genuinely helpful Mark was, regardless of whether we chose to work with them or not. After completing all of our calls, we decided to move forward with Elegant Savannah Weddings, and we are so glad we did. I was never the girl with a Pinterest board or a clear vision for what my wedding would look like, so we were starting from almost nothing. Mark and Meg were incredible at helping us narrow down options, figure out what we liked, and create a thoughtful, cohesive plan that ultimately became the best day of our lives. They are extremely knowledgeable, have amazing vendor connections, and kept us on track every step of the way. They were patient, always available, and answered every question we had along the way. When it came to the wedding weekend itself, they were truly unbelievable. We didn’t have to do anything, we just showed up, which is exactly what I wanted. Mark helped us with our welcome party and even picked up all of our décor just a few hours before the event. By the time we arrived at the rehearsal dinner, everything was already set up beautifully. The same thing happened on the wedding day. Meg and Trisha came by our room early to pick up keys and any additional décor, and from that moment on, they handled everything. I didn’t have to set anything up, talk to vendors, or worry about logistics, everything ran seamlessly. They made sure everyone was where they needed to be, that we always had a drink in hand, and they even saved the day when I spilled an espresso martini on my lace dress about five minutes into cocktail hour. I was panicking, but they stayed completely calm, reassured me, and somehow got it out entirely, you would never have known it happened. No one tells you how much time you’ll spend with your wedding planners leading up to your wedding, and honestly, I miss them now that it’s over! If you’re looking for a wedding planner, I cannot recommend Elegant Savannah Weddings enough. They are truly the best of the best, and I only wish we had another reason to work with them again.

nd we weren’t even his clients yet. His thoughtfulness and input to someone who he didn’t know would be working with him yet is ultimately why we chose to work with Mark. Mark’s communication was consistently streamlined, timely, and showed attention to detail. Mark continued to exceed our expectations throughout the remainder of our wedding planning process. What truly stood out was how effortlessly smooth the entire planning process was. He kept everything organized and clear, always responded to each detail of our usually very long emails, and and we never once felt overwhelmed or unsure of the next step. Most importantly, our wedding day itself went off without a single hiccup. All our guests noticed how smooth our day was and seamless our transitions were from ceremony venue to reception and throughout the entire day. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and was made that way by each detail Mark and Tricia made sure of on our wedding day. Mark’s professionalism, calm demeanor, and attention to detail made all the difference, and we were able to fully enjoy every moment knowing he had everything under control. If you're getting married in Savannah and want someone you can trust completely and will always return your text, email, or phone call, we highly recommend Mark and Elegant Savannah Weddings. He truly made our day unforgettable!

) and they made the whole process so much easier and less stressful. :,) They handled all the logistics, emails, vendor coordination, timelines, and little moving parts so we could focus on the creative side and just enjoy the process. I was able to hand-off a moodboard/visual direction and they filled in the gaps beautifully. They also let us ship things to their house, helped put together our welcome bags, and made sure everything ran smoothly for the welcome party and rehearsal. On the day-of we didn’t have to think about a single thing. Everything flowed so well and we were able to just enjoy the day that we had spent over a year planning. Our guests kept saying how kind and thoughtful our planners were! If you're planning from out of town or just want to take some pressure off, full-service was 100% worth it. We’re so grateful for their help and would absolutely recommend them to anyone getting married in Savannah.

ur budget without compromising our vision, they were with us every step of the way. Mark was always prompt and available for calls, emails, and in-person meetings, and his helpful suggestions were invaluable when we were indecisive. He even assisted us with the marriage license and meticulously planned our wedding timeline down to the minute. With their expertise, we never had to worry about the little details. Mark truly understood our vision and worked tirelessly to make our wedding exactly what we dreamed of. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Mark every single time. Worth every penny!

id with us throughout each step of the process, which was so refreshing in an industry with so many options. Mark also made the stress of finding certain niche items really easy - I emailed him one day letting him know I wanted three large disco balls and within a few hours he had a vendor, quote, and contract ready for me. During the day of Mark was truly such a blessing - he left no stone unturned and ensured our vision was a reality. He explained everything very thoroughly so that there was very little stress or anxiety from myself and our close family. My entire family commented that hiring Mark and his team was the best decision I made in all of wedding planning.

lking with Mark for 10 minutes I instantly knew ESW was the right fit for our wedding day. Mark and his team were extremely responsive throughout the planning process and helped facilitate finding and communicating with vendors. The team is extremely knowledgeable about the many venues and vendor options in Savannah which made planning a destination wedding so much easier. Most importantly, the team was exceptional at helping us understand what the best value vendor was in order to stay in our budget. Unlike other planners I had talked to, I never once felt pressured to go above my budget and the team always helped us to find the right balance of where to splurge vs. where to save. I would not change a single thing about my wedding day and would do every single thing the same way again thanks to ESW's help in making my vision come to life. Mark and his team are extremely organized and kept everything on schedule so that our day went seamlessly. 20/10 score, I cannot recommend ESW enough!

rance while my fiancé was living in Ohio, and we absolutely do not regret it! Even though we are both used to planning projects, dealing with suppliers etc. in our day jobs, having a professional in charge was a no-brainer. - From the beginning, Mark has been SUPER RESPONSIVE, and makes you feel like you are his VIP couple, even during a busy season. - One of the main values from hiring him at the beginning of the process, was that he didn’t hesitate to go tour venues for us, film the space with his live comments about your needs/vision. That in itself is a major benefit for everyone not near Savannah. - He is an AWESOME coordinator with vendors, you can let him know what you want in an informal way, and he will make sure to contact, negotiate and defend your needs, in all British politeness, to your prospected and hired vendors - He has all the recommendations you need for reliable vendors. Sure, you can make your own search (I picked my own photo & video team), but any time you want to just have someone tell you who you can trust, Mark will provide, and you won’t have to worry if Vendor A is flaky, or if Vendor B is really good, etc. So not only you know you will hire great vendors, but you will most likely hire people used to (and loving) working with Mark, and that is a good bonus. - A logistical benefit is the willingness of Mark to convert his garage into a logistic center for his couples. We were able to ship a lot of our décor and bridal party’s gifts directly to him during the process, and that was so valuable! He also has some decor elements left by previous brides that you can use! We used a box for our gift cards and a metal tube to store fresh bottles of water for our ceremony, and there were nice lovely additions to our decor. - The organization and execution of the Day-of was TOP NOTCH!! What a relief to know you have a very reliable team making sure to make your vision come to life, while you can focus on getting ready and enjoying your day with your partner and guests. Mark didn’t hesitate to add an extra member of his team to make sure the organization was flawless. Meg and Emily were thus with us for our rehearsal and for our ceremony, and these ladies know their business too! Then it was Mark and Meg for our reception, staying until the last minute to make sure everything was perfect up to our midnight send off, and taking care of packing up everything for us to pick up the day after. We also had a very detailed timeline (which we reviewed together multiple times until it was perfect for everyone). Do not hesitate to book them!
