Simply Magical - A Dream Wedding at The Mackey House! There are truly no words to describe how incredible our daughter's wedding day was--but I'll absolutely try my best! The Mackey House is, without a doubt, the best wedding venue in Savannah. From the moment we drove down the breathtaking, tree-lined driveway, we knew this was the one. The grounds are absolutely stunning--the gardens, the fountains, the romantic ambiance--it all felt like a scene from a movie. What truly set The Mackey House apart, though, was the exceptional staff. Every interaction was warm, positive, and professional. They were always smiling, welcoming, and eager to help with anything we needed. A huge shoutout to Dave, who served as both the officiant and DJ. His great sense of humor had so many of our guests asking, "Where did you find him?!" He made the ceremony feel personal, heartfelt, and fun--truly unforgettable. And an enormous thank you to Andie from Emerald & Ivy Events. Her bubbly energy, calm presence, and constant support throughout the planning process--and especially on the big day--were invaluable. She guided us through every step with confidence and joy. Even a bit of rain in the forecast didn't shake this incredible team. Dave tracked the weather closely and made the call to proceed with an outdoor ceremony--and it was perfect. Andie calmly worked behind the scenes with the in-house and vendor teams to ensure we had a solid "Plan B" in case weather forced a change, but we didn't need it! Not a drop of rain fell during first-look photos or the vows, and the sun even peeked through the clouds as they said "I do." Pure magic. We loved how each part of the celebration had its own beautifully designed space: cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing--all thoughtfully laid out and seamlessly executed. The bridal suite and groomsmen's "man cave" were perfect for getting ready. And at the end of the night, the staff packed up all of our decor and belongings, making cleanup and departure a breeze. From start to finish, everything ran flawlessly. The Mackey House team made the entire day feel stress-free--for us, our daughter and son-in-law, and every guest. They treated everyone with such kindness, care, and love--it truly felt like they were part of our extended family. Thank you, Mackey House, for making our daughter's wedding dreams come true. It was the most magical day, and our guests are still raving about how beautiful and joyful it was!

We were looking to get married rather quickly thanks to Covid, and after searching through a bunch of places in Savannah we came across the Mackey House. Everything was coordinated online and via phone. The staff was very responsible and followed a checklist of items that was helpful for us to organize ourselves; they even asked us things we forgot to consider during the planning. Shout out to Dave, the event manager, who was courteous, thoughtful, and went out of his way to make our small celebration possible! The property is quite nice and expansive, and there are various areas to choose from in terms of the reception. They are also expanding the facilities on the property as well. I think the Mackey House does a good job at offering a variety of options for any wedding party, large or small. They have two very nice ready rooms, and like I said before, very professional. Everything ran like clockwork. You could even host other events and celebrations here, not just weddings. Very picturesque. Hope to get a chance to go back one day! read more

We had our expensive reception at the Mackey House. It was a disaster! They quoted us a price and tried to jack-up the price quoted to us in person. We had the paper work to fight them over their jacked-up price. We brought our own liquor and they catered the food for thousands of dollars. After the event, they tried to steal OUR liquor and would not give us the left over food. My mother who paid for the food griped and complained and they reluctantly gave us OUR FOOD! These people are nothing but a SCAM! The house is no big deal and it's not worth the deception, lies and scams you endure. They should be shut down. Don't walk away...run away! Better yet, don't use em. SCAM ARTISTS! read more

I was quite impressed actually. The only negative I could think of is that you drive through a camper site and thought I was lost but saw the Mackey House Sign. I suggest they file for a different driveway if possible but after you pass the motorhomes you are in a beautiful setting. I was a guest at a wedding so my angle was from the guests perspective but I know the groom well and I know they liked how everything went. Great area upstairs on the porch that sat all of us comfortably with room for the band and a dance floor. The wedding happened on the lawn with a gazebo type arrangement for the bride and groom. It was lovely. There is a good parking area that is out of sight but convenient. The bride and groom exited the front of the building and they did sparklers. It was beautiful. Overall, I feel this is a god spot in close proximity to Savannah that seems very affordable and very nice. read more

The Mackey House - Party & Event Planning Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Flew in from New York to visit the property for a potential wedding location. We were less than impressed. The wedding coordinator spoke a million miles an minute coming off as very junior and unprofessional. Once we were told that we were responsible for cleaning up after the event that was it. You can arrive 3 hours prior to the start and the coordinator said that everyone should really come with hair and makeup already done prior to arrival. There is nothing convenient about the Mackey House and it definitely has that wedding factory feel even though you have to bring in all the vendors. It's just a southern style house in the middle of nowhere. read more
