Important
The marriage license fee is paid directly to the county clerk's office at the time of application — not to Elopements Inc. Both partners must apply for the license in person; we cannot obtain the license on your behalf. We walk every couple through the process step by step (which clerk to visit, what to bring, when to go), but the application itself has to be signed by you.

History & architecture
Forsyth Park is a 30-acre public park in downtown Savannah, originally designed in 1840 and named for Governor John Forsyth. The park's centerpiece — the cast-iron Forsyth Fountain, installed in 1858 — is modeled after the fountain in Place de la Concorde in Paris and is one of the most-photographed landmarks in the American South. The park is ringed by Spanish-moss-draped live oaks planted in the 1850s, with a central walking promenade running north-south through the historic district. Forsyth Park is the visual icon of Savannah — every aerial drone shot of the city includes the white fountain framed by the green canopy.
Best photo spots on the property
Forsyth Fountain
The signature Savannah elopement backdrop. White cast-iron fountain installed in 1858, with cascading water and Spanish-moss-draped oaks framing the shot. Most-photographed at golden hour (1 hour before sunset) when the white iron catches warm light.
Live oak canopy promenade
The north-south walking path under 150-year-old live oaks draped in Spanish moss. Used for 'walking down the aisle' sequences and post-ceremony walks. Light filters through the moss in dappled patterns — uniquely Lowcountry.
Fragrant garden
Small secluded garden on the park's east side, with manicured boxwood hedges and seasonal flowers. Used for couples who want a quieter ceremony spot away from the fountain crowds.
Confederate Monument area
Open lawn near the park's south end with the granite monument as backdrop. Used for larger groups (15-50 guests) where the fountain area would feel cramped.
Capacity & seating
City of Savannah special-event permit allows up to 50 guests with no amplified sound, no temporary structures beyond chairs, and no decorations left on site. Most Elopements Inc. Forsyth Park ceremonies are 2-15 guests using the fountain or live oak promenade.
Permits & access
City of Savannah special-event permit ($30 application fee, processed 14+ days in advance). Elopements Inc. files the permit on your behalf as part of every Savannah package. The permit specifies the exact ceremony spot, time window, and guest count.
Best season for this venue
Mid-March through May is the photographic peak — Spanish moss is at its fullest, temperatures are 65-78°F, and the live oaks have full green leaves. Mid-October through November is the second peak — softer light, fewer tourists, and a gentle golden tone to the moss. Summer (June-August) is humid and prone to afternoon storms; we shift summer ceremonies to early morning. Winter ceremonies are possible — mild (50-65°F daytime) — and produce dramatic photos when the Spanish moss is sun-lit against bare branches.
What makes it different
Forsyth Park is the only American park where a 30-acre historic green space sits in the middle of a National Historic Landmark downtown district. Most major-city parks (Central Park, Audubon Park) are large but don't have the architectural-historic-romantic combination Savannah's Forsyth has. The fountain alone is a category-defining landmark — couples eloping at Forsyth Park aren't choosing a generic park, they're choosing the Savannah icon.

Forsyth Park questions
Yes — Forsyth Park is the most-booked Savannah elopement venue. The City of Savannah issues special-event permits ($30) for ceremonies at the fountain, the live oak promenade, and the open lawns. Elopements Inc. handles the permit on every Savannah package; couples never file paperwork directly.
Forsyth Park elopements through Elopements Inc. start at $575 (Just Married package, up to 5 guests) — includes the City of Savannah permit, the officiant, professional photography, and Georgia marriage license guidance. The $66-$86 marriage license fee is paid separately to the Chatham County Probate Court.
Tourists are present throughout the park during daytime hours. Elopements Inc. typically books early morning (7-9 AM) or golden hour (1 hour before sunset) when foot traffic is lowest. The fountain area itself is usually clear during these windows. Photography is composed to minimize background tourists when present.
Yes. Savannah winters are mild (50-65°F daytime), and Forsyth Park's live oaks are evergreen so the canopy looks fundamentally the same year-round. Winter ceremonies have the additional advantage of zero crowds and the warmest available pricing.
