Venues on film
Every venue on this page has a real wedding film you can watch. Savannah first, then Jekyll Island and the South Carolina coast. Venue facts come from each venue's own site.
Why A Venue Matters On Film
A photograph needs one good corner. A film needs the whole walk, from the getting ready room to the last dance.
Sound matters too. A courtyard echoes, a garden swallows a quiet voice, and a ballroom fills with music. Watching a real film from your kind of place tells you more than any brochure.
Savannah
The Mackey House
The Mackey House calls itself a private lakeside estate, established by the Mackey family in 1997, just under a ten minute drive from downtown Savannah. Its own site lists accommodations for up to 200 guests and a climate controlled setting.
Vitor has called it one of his all time favorite venues, and he has filmed and photographed many weddings there. What makes it good for film is the walk. The drive in passes the lake and the woods, the gardens open up around the house, and every part of the day has its own backdrop without a car ride between them.
On film, plan the vows in the garden with the light behind your guests, and save a few quiet minutes by the water after the ceremony.
Savannah
Georgia State Railroad Museum
The Georgia State Railroad Museum is one of the Coastal Heritage Society museums. It sits in the former Central of Georgia Railway repair shops complex, which the museum says holds the oldest railroad repair facility buildings in the United States.
Kristen and Chaz's film was made here, with the Perry Lane Hotel also on the day. Brick, iron and long straight lines of track make strong frames, and the scale of the old buildings makes a couple look small in the best way.
The Coastal Heritage Society books events and weddings through its own events team, so ask them about spaces and guest counts for your date.
Savannah
Jepson Center
The Jepson Center is part of Telfair Museums. Telfair describes a soaring three story atrium, a sweeping three story central staircase and third floor outdoor sculpture terraces.
Michelle and George's film was made here. White stone and big glass are bright and clean on camera, and the staircase gives a film a natural entrance shot.
Telfair's events page talks about receptions. For a ceremony there, ask Telfair directly what is possible on your date.
Jekyll Island
Crane Cottage, Jekyll Island
Crane Cottage is part of the Jekyll Island Club Resort. The resort calls it a grand Italian Renaissance style cottage with a formal sunken garden and terrace and a fountained courtyard, suitable for events of up to 300.
It is about an hour and a half south of Savannah, and the film shows why couples make the drive. The courtyard fountain, the arcades and the garden give three different looks in one place.
Every venue moves and sounds differently, a garden, a museum, a courtyard by the sea. So every film is planned for its place.
Jekyll Island
Jekyll Island Convention Center
The Jekyll Island Convention Center is run under the Jekyll Island Authority. Its own pages list a 45,000 square foot ballroom, an oceanfront Wedding Gazebo and the Ben Porter Salon for ceremonies.
Nikki and Sagar's Indian wedding was filmed here. A big ballroom suits a big celebration, and the ocean is right there for portraits between events.
Bluffton, South Carolina
Montage Palmetto Bluff
Vitor is an official preferred vendor of Montage Palmetto Bluff and has been filming weddings there for over ten years. Three of the films on this site come from it, A Palmetto Bluff Wedding, Kelly and Will, and Lauren and Adrian.
It is across the river in South Carolina, close enough that many Savannah couples look at it too.
Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
The Westin Hilton Head Island
The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort and Spa is oceanfront, and its events page lists a Mitchelville Gazebo and an Oceanfront Deck among its spaces.
Worth knowing if you are planning there. The resort says it is closed from November 2026 through March 2027, with reservations from April 2027.
venue questions
before you Book
Have you filmed at our venue?
The films on this page are the ones you can watch. Vitor has filmed and photographed 450 weddings in 14 years, about 400 of them in the Lowcountry, so tell him your venue and he will tell you what he knows about it.
Do you visit the venue before the day?
The plan for the day is built on the video call, with the light, the event flow and the family photos in mind. Ask about a walk through when you book, especially for a place he has not worked before.
Do we need permission to film at a museum or a park?
Your venue sets the rules, so ask your coordinator early. For public squares and parks in Savannah, the City of Savannah sets its own rules for events, and your planner can help with any permit.
Can you film a wedding that moves between two venues?
Yes. Kristen and Chaz's day moved between the Railroad Museum and the Perry Lane Hotel. Allow travel time on the timeline and the film follows you.
