From the reviews
This place was lovely! It was free (they use donations for upkeep it seems). The gardens are nice and well maintained. There is a pretty, small lake in the back. There is a gazebo with a chair setup near the lake that looks like they hold small wedding ceremonies there.
Nice little garden maintained by local gardening clubs. Featuring a house from 1840 that was built in downtown Savannah then moved to the garden. Plants are well labelled. There is a small pond with turtles including a softshell species. Free to enter (voluntary donation based) and available for wedding ceremonies.
Getting married at Savannah Botanical Gardens
Savannah Botanical Gardens comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the glass house at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — the light pouring through the panes at golden hour is the whole reason to book one, but a greenhouse at noon in July feels very different from one at dusk in October, so ask about temperature and shade for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring the questions that only matter for a glass venue: is it heated and air-conditioned (the single most important question), what months do they actually book, is there shade cloth or diffusing glass for midday glare, what's the humidity like in summer, are candles or open flame allowed near the plants, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Glass venues are intimate and popular dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
