Wonderful Experience

What an incredible place. We were the photographers (@benxvicky) for an intimate wedding at Jekyll Club and are always stunned at the beauty of this place. It has such a great atmosphere and so many beautiful corners. We look forward to coming back every time!

My most cherished, and signature venue.

As a Jekyll Island wedding photographer, I have been photographing this exquisite venue for many years. It continually astonishes me. The beauty and the history, the many scenic venue choices, and the top notch service the staff brings, no detail is over looked. Jekyll Island Club will forever be one of my most cherished, signature venues as it is where I began my photographic career.

It Could Not Have Been More Perfect

Wow, I don’t know where to begin. Everything—from our first visit to the actual day of the wedding—was an absolute dream. My now husband had visited once before and thought I would love it, so he took me while we were in the process of touring venues. He was right, I loved it from the first moment we pulled up. We just knew that “our spot” was under the oak trees on the Riverfront Lawn. We worked with Patty and Rachel throughout the planning process and there are no words to explain how terrific these two ladies are. We were supposed to get married in early May, but then Covid happened and we had to reschedule for October (which turned out to be perfect). They held my hand and guided us through unchartered waters, as we pretty much planned two weddings (our original date and the new date). They thought of EVERYTHING and then some...I know this team went well above and beyond to make our day perfect, plus they were always just an email away if I had a question. Needless to say, our wedding day was absolutely perfection and seamless in every way. Patty coordinated our day and to say she has her ducks in a row would be a huge understatement; I don’t believe I have ever seen an event run so calm and smoothly. I truly have the utmost respect and appreciation for them and their team. We also worked with Cheryl the weekend of for catering and she was so incredibly sweet and helped ensure that everything was just as we wanted. All of the staff during the reception made us feel like family (as does all the staff on the grounds). We are just so blown away by the whole experience. Lastly, but certainly not least, the venue itself is second to none. As I mentioned previously, our ceremony was at sunset on the Riverfront Lawn under the live oaks and was completely breathtaking. Our reception was in the Federal Reserve Room located in the front on the main clubhouse building. The beauty and history of the grounds paint a surreal backdrop for a wedding. Each time we have visited, I always feel there is something about The Jekyll Club that is unlike anything else on this earth (and I have traveled quite a bit); you feel as if you step back in time and you get to experience life in its purest form. That being said, I don’t think that there are words or even photographs that can accurately depict magic that this place exudes. It is just something you must experience for yourself.

Amazing and stress-free!

As a 2020 bride, I can honestly say my wedding was not a stressful weekend because of Cricket and the Jekyll team. Everything came out beautifully! We had our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour at Crane Cottage with our reception indoors at Morgan Center. I did not have to worry about anything and remained hands-off the entire weekend. During the planning process, Jekyll remained super responsive and accommodating. They alleviated all the COVID stress and provided flexibility even up until the day of the wedding. It is so helpful to have everything included all at one venue. My guests were all blown away by the resort and the hospitality. It was truly a wedding experience as one guest described it. HIGHLY recommend.

Elopement that didn’t feel like an elopement!

We decided to do an elopement with just a few close family members. Jekyll Island Beach Club Resort made our day so special and easy but it felt like my dream wedding from start to finish. Ceremony on the beach was perfect!

They are Amazing!

The Jekyll Island Club Resorts wedding staff is phenomenal. Speaking as a vendor who works with them regularly, I cannot express enough how much time and effort they put into making each event they do amazing! Their coordinators are always on top of everything from communication to preparation; they even handle last minute emergency situations like champions all while remaining professional and elegant. If you are looking for a beautiful venue and caring staff I urge you to check them out!

The Perfect Day

Our wedding was perfect, the JEkyll Club offers multiple property options for events and catering. I’m SO happy we chose to have our big day here! Ask for Cates, she’s an amazing coordinator!

I truly cannot give a higher recommendation for this venue. First off, it is gorgeous. Me and my husband got married here October 14, 2017 at the Cherokee Cottage. It truly was a perfect day -- very much because of the hard work and service of the Jekyll Island Club Resort staff.

Our wedding coordinator, Jessica, worked with us from the beginning and was extremely kind and helped up make our day exactly what we wanted. I was very fearful of the weather being bad that day, but she was comforting and offered great advice and alternatives (which we did not have to end up using because the weather was perfect). The food was amazing, the best wedding food I have ever had (and what all of the guest were saying!).
This was a destination wedding, and the staff at Jekyll club really did help above what was expected and offered many resources to booking the DJ/florist/etc. You can do it "all-inclusive", but we chose not to and picked out own vendors which worked out completely fine.

The only constructive feedback that I can offer (which is tiny in comparison to all that a wedding encompasses) is that the bride and groom rooms were not ready early on Friday (about 3 pm), which made getting ready for the rehearsal stressful and rushed. There were people staying in them the night before, however they checked out before noon and I think those should be a priority to be clean

We were so thrilled with our wedding at the Jekyll Island Club Resort! We got married at the Crane Cottage and could not have chosen a more beautiful location. It was such an amazing experience to have the Cottage for the entire weekend for our family and friends, and every detail was perfect. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food and how friendly and helpful the resort staff was. Cates and Cricket in the sales and catering departments were so easy to work with and made the planning process a breeze. Anthony, the banquet captain, went above and beyond during the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception to make sure we had everything we could have asked for. We highly, highly recommend the Jekyll Island Club!

My husband and I got married in March at Jekyll Island Club Hotel and were absolutely blown away by the service, the beauty of the resort, how friendly everyone was and how relaxing the entire weekend was. We worked with Cricket and she is the best - so accommodating and was the calm that I needed throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond for us! Oh and the food was fantastic!!! We honestly couldn't have asked for a better location for our wedding - it was absolutely perfect! We loved every second of our weekend and cannot wait to return to celebrate our 1st anniversary!
