- Elopements under 20 guests with no chairs or rentals (except at the Forsyth Park fountain) don’t require a permit.
- If you want to ensure you get to use your favorite ceremony spot, we encourage getting a permit for peace of mind and no last minute location changes.
- Forsyth Park Fountain: Always requires a permit due to heavy foot traffic.
- Micro-Weddings (21–40 guests): A permit is required for any public location, and it’s automatically included in the Savannah Micro-Wedding Package.
- Rentals or Decor: If you’re renting chairs, arbors, or other décor, the rental companies require a permit for setup and delivery, regardless of guest count.
- Private venues are not included in the Savannah Elopement Package and are booked directly by couples.

FAQ: Do I need to get the permit, or is it included in the Savannah Elopement Package?
For elopements under 20 guests, permits aren’t automatically included in the Savannah Elopement Package—but you can easily add one when you book, and our team will handle everything. For Savannah Micro-Wedding Packages (21–40 guests), permits are included since they’re required for that guest size.
