Savannah's Opulent Affair: The Ultimate Million Dollar Wedding Experience

By Brittany Howard

Oh my, don't you "look like a million bucks!" Hearing that sounds fantastic, right? Especially if it's your wedding day. Well, what if we told you the look, feel, and experience of a million-dollar wedding is beautifully packaged just for you here in Savannah. We're talking about a mansion, honey, and no glass slippers are required - unless you're fancy like that. The Kessler Collection is opening its extravagant bronze entry doors to gift you the wedding of your dreams at the Armstrong Kessler Mansion.

The Kessler Collection's Million Dollar Wedding Experience Package epitomizes luxury, exquisite design, meticulous attention to detail, allurement, and elegance. No bridal stone has been left unturned, ensuring your day will be spectacular. Fair warning: we'll be utilizing the word luxury a lot.

First Things First

Pre-nuptial Celebrations

There's no need to run for the hills; this prenup is too incredible to not sign on the dotted line. Begin your forever with an intimate welcome reception at the JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District, where you and your guests will be greeted with posh welcome bags filled with Kessler and local specialty items. The bridesmaid champagne luncheon will take place atop Myrtle & Rose Rooftop Bar, a striking Greek mythology-inspired setting, and wearing your crown is highly encouraged. A relaxing spa day for 10 guests is next at Poseidon Spa, where tranquility and pampering are on another level.

Savor an incredible rehearsal dinner at Stone & Webster Chophouse, once home to the city's historic power plant. You and 50 people will experience a top-notch restaurant offering guests a wide range of delectable dishes. The chophouse is known for its premium quality steaks, fresh seafood, and delightful cocktails that will tantalize your taste buds. The restaurant's ambiance is rustic yet polished, quiet yet energetic, making it the ideal spot to come together, thank your loved ones for their support, and do a run-through of the ceremony and reception details, guaranteeing that everyone is on the same page and ready, for your big day. Did we mention the luxury transportation services available throughout your wedding weekend?

Grand Wedding Ceremony

The world is yours today, and we're overjoyed to be included. Consider this 1917 Italian Renaissance Revival-style mansion your luxury (there's that word again) temporary home. Your exclusive wedding ceremony package at the 26,000 square feet, three-story Armstrong Kessler Mansion will be an elaborate exhibition perfectly curated for you and your 100 guests. Lavish floral displays will surround you as you walk the aisle towards your one and only and make the ultimate and beautiful promise in front of your family and friends. Then, as you stand hand in hand, cast your tearful eyes to the sky as a breathtaking post-ceremony fireworks display is executed in your honor.

Grand Reception

The vows have been lovingly recited, but now it's time for the Dom Pérignon to flow. As you're officially announced to your guests, toast with Swarovski crystal flutes under a custom-designed tent where fabulous Italian chandeliers are flawlessly hung to light the acrylic dance floor. Your 11-piece band will perform all the greatest hits as everyone waves their hands in the air like they just don't care. No one leaves empty-handed at this reception as guests receive high-end wedding favors before sending you off the right way in your vintage luxury car. But before you and your guests can exclaim, "Please don't stop the music!" the Kessler Collection has much more in store.

It's the After Party's After Party

Post-nuptial Activities

It's time to tell your chauffeur to the top! The after-party continues at Rocks on the Roof, where late-night snacks will be served as your DJ spins the night away, and the Savannah River serves as your backdrop. What better way to bid adieu to your guests than with full bellies and the ultimate luxurious slumber. Choose from multiple venues and locations for 50 people to thank them for witnessing your momentous occasion during a farewell brunch, plus luxury accommodations for 2 nights at the JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District. Of course, they've saved something extra special for you. We believe this iconic baby blue gift box has your name on it. Inside, you'll find a sterling silver picture frame from Tiffany & Co., eager to hold the perfect moment captured on your dream wedding day.
