Each venue perfectly captures the city’s historic charm while adding a unique twist to match your specific style.

2. The Clyde

Price Range: $
Distance to Savannah: Downtown

Nestled in downtown Savannah, The Clyde Venue offers a distinctly unique wedding experience for couples who are looking for something memorable. The intimate indoor space exudes sophistication, setting the perfect tone for celebration. The Clyde Venue features a small outdoor section, which provides an ideal cocktail hour venue. While I love this venue and always enjoy visiting, it is worth noting that the venue does not have a designated area for the bride and groom to get ready, and the lighting is not optimal for photography. But, these drawbacks are minor for couples who find The Clyde Venue to be the perfect inner-city fit.
