A Tented Savannah Wedding on the Wilmington River

A Timeless, Tented Savannah Wedding

Ally and James’ celebration at 700 Wilmington was nothing short of spectacular. With the expert planning of Tara Skinner Events, their wedding blended a classic, romantic design with modern elements, creating an unforgettable experience for their guests.

The weekend began at Hotel Bardo, where Ally and James welcomed friends and family for their rehearsal dinner and welcome party. Against the charming backdrop of downtown Savannah, guests indulged in gelato and small bites—a delicious way to kick off the festivities.

On their wedding day, the couple exchanged vows under a chuppah at sunset, following an intimate ketubah signing. The couple entered down a white-washed wooden aisle, surrounded by the golden glow of dusk reflecting off the Wilmington River. Cocktail hour took place poolside, where guests enjoyed the waterfront views before heading into the reception tent.

Inside, the design was a study in crisp, modern elegance. A long white bar stretched the length of the tent, complementing the all-white decor that felt both timeless and striking. A live band kept the dance floor full as guests celebrated late into the evening (with espresso martinis, of course) before Ally and James made their grand exit in a vintage car, a fittingly classic ending to a truly stunning wedding.
