About

On WeddingWire since 2011

The Mackey House is a historic wedding venue in Savannah, Georgia. A family-owned colonial-style mansion located just minutes from downtown Savannah, this venue also features a pond, a well-manicured garden, and a shaded pavilion. Charming and elegant, it is the perfect backdrop for any wedding.

Facilities and Capacity

The Mackey House is nestled on a sweeping 125-acre property located under 10 minutes from Historic Downtown Savannah Georgia.. You can host your ceremony in the stunning garden surrounded by large ferns and tropical palms or on the banks of the sparkling lake while your guests gaze out at the beautiful countryside. The covered outdoor pavilion is a great place to host a cocktail hour. Home to a grand crackling fireplace and offering sweeping views of the property, this space provides a warm and peaceful atmosphere. The house and large wrap-around deck are great spaces for your reception. The deck features room for round tables, a dance floor, and a full bar, while the house includes a full-service kitchen and buffet area for caterers' use and a grand staircase leading up to getting-ready rooms for the wedding party. This venue can accommodate weddings of up to 300 guests.

A Dream Wedding!

Could not say enough good things about the Mackey House & their stellar team! We live in Brooklyn but my husband is from Savannah, and we had our hearts set on getting married there. They were so helpful in planning a beautiful wedding from start to finish. We got married on 5/27, which ended up being about 50 degrees and raining - not quite what we expected from a Savannah summer weekend! Shelley and Shavonne were in touch that entire week about creating the perfect rain plan. We ended up moving from the garden to the pavillion, where they set a fire and our guests crowded around for a beautiful, intimate ceremony, and the rest of the night went on as planned! All of their covered spaces had heat/AC and blocked any wind or rain coming through, so it still very much felt like an outdoor wedding. We truly wouldn't have changed a thing and so much of that is due to the creativity of the team

Gorgeous venue, wonderful destination wedding

We live in Chicago but my husband is from Georgia used to vacation in Savannah. However, we chose Savannah specifically for this venue. We looked all of the country but I kept comparing venues to The Mackey House. We loved the Southern elegance of the venue. We got married at The Mackey House in May (5/14/23) and had the best evening. The grounds were impeccable, our guests were in awe of the beauty and the getting ready rooms were PERFECT for pictures. The house is on enough land to feel secluded and allow each part of the wedding to be in a different area. We got married in the garden (!), cocktail hour was outside the pavilion, dinner/toasts in the pavilion and dancing on the deck. We loved the flow of the wedding...as did our guests. Leading up to the wedding, I went down to Savannah a few times (w/ my husband, mom) to see the venue. Even in the winter they had a grounds crew working to improve the venue - planting flowers, taking care of the grounds. Even the owner was there. You could tell that they took pride in their venue and was committed to making the venue beautiful for their clients and guests. Shelley was wonderful - very responsive and provided great recommendations. Highly recommend getting married at The Mackey House if you are looking for an elegant Southern wedding!

The Perfect Wedding Venue

From the moment I saw The Mackey House, I fell in love with it! I knew it was the one when I found myself comparing it to other venues I was looking at. When my husband and I went to tour the property for the first time, it felt surreal. We booked it that day and got married this past weekend! Leading up to the wedding, anytime we mentioned our venue to other potential vendors, they would gush about how much they loved The Mackey House and how amazing our wedding was going to be! It was safe to say we had high expectations, and they somehow surpassed them, making it truly the best day of our lives! All of my guests have been raving about how perfect it was, and particularly giving shoutouts to Dave! The team at The Mackey House made my wedding a special, unforgettable night for everyone!

I have been privileged to provide the ceremony music at the Mackey House many times over the years. Every time I enter the grounds I am amazed at the beauty of the place and the consistent professionalism of the staff. Any wedding or event at the Mackey House is, and will be spectacular.

Rustic and Serene. This venue moves you away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Savannah. Great Parking and can accommodate large groups!
