How to legalize your Savannah elopement

Eloping in Savannah is a simple process and only requires a few legal steps.

You’ll need to pay a fee of $66. Once you’ve received your license, there is no waiting period to get married – which means that once you receive your license, you can get married the very same day!

When is the best time of year to elope to Savannah?

Savannah has gorgeous, historic beauty year-round, but depending on your temperature preferences, you may want to choose your elopement date by figuring out first what season is best for you. With mild winter temperatures, Savannah is the perfect place to have a winter ceremony if you’re not looking for a winter wonderland of snow or extreme cold! Spring and fall tend to boast beautiful and generally mild temperatures, but it might be worth noting that some months during the fall and spring season can feel like summer! If heat and humidity are both climates that you want to avoid, we recommend skipping the summer season, as temps can go past 90 degrees and the humidity can be well past 75%! Overall, it entirely depends on what kind of climate you envision for your big day. Once that’s nailed down, choosing a season will be much simpler!
