Square Wedding **Need Advice**

My fiance and I are planning on getting married in one of through squares. We are having an immediate family-only ceremony & dinner (approx. 12 guests). I chose Franklin Square because it is close to the river and hotel. Is this a good place for a wedding? From photos online, it looks to be close to a lot of traffic. There will only be about 12 guests so there will be no chairs....everyone will be standing. 2). After our 5-10 min. ceremony, I wanted to have dinner some place nice, preferably within walking distance from the square and/or by the river. Any suggestions? Oh! Our wedding date is Friday, May 11, 2012. 3). We will do champagne toast during dinner at the restaurant. Instead of a cake, I was thinking about a display of cake pops. Any bakery recommendations? Thanks in advance!

    Try Vic's on the River for dinner and for the bakery you can't go wrong with Rumrunners.  They are the BEST!

    Ask for AJ if you go with Vic's.  He is a client of mine and run Vic's!

    I do not suggest Franklin Square at all for a wedding ceremony. It is very close to a lot of trafiic.  It is also known as the "homeless sqaure" because the homeless in the area congregate here.  There are several churches who meet there to feed the homeless every Saturday morning.  It is also a place where people come to pick up day laborers.

    Vics is a great place for dinner with family after.  I also recomend jazz'd, Cha Bella, Churchill's or Rock's on the River.

    Oh wow! Thank you so much for the advice! Can you please recommend a square that would be good for a wedding? I literally chose that square from a map of downtown Savannah. Any suggestions or help would be great! Thank you!

    Whitefield Square has a gazebo that would make for a nice backdrop...or there's Chippewa Square where "Forrest Gump" sat on his bench (which is no longer there).

    Chippewa is where I'm getting married!  It is lovely.  We also almost went with the Monterey Square which is front of Mercer House where Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil was filmed.  I liked that more but my venue is going to beside Chippewa.

    Rum Runners would be a good place to get cake pops.

    The squares listed above are great squares.  I also recomend Telfair, Maddison, Wright, Calhoun and Montgomery.
