Ben Sent on 06/25/2022Wonderful 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! -

Rhonda Sent on 08/15/2025My 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. -

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! -

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! -

Siobhan Sent on 12/02/2014I can not say enough about how fabulous this location and the staff are for a wedding. From Rachel and Jessica in the sales and catering office to Atilla at the Crane who is just amazing. Our wedding weekend was just fabulous. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful location and a more responsive and caring staff to work with. Jessica helped me so much prior to the wedding and on my wedding day when my florist basically came totally unprepared. Atilla was like part of the family before the weekend was over, even playing football with my 8 year old nephew on the front lawn. Anyone who is contemplating having their wedding here needs to just do it, it will be amazing! -

Christine Sent on 08/19/2014Our wedding took place at the Crane Cottage on Jekyll Island Club Hotel, and the wedding turned out to be an even more spectacular event than I had ever imagined it to be! Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the location, the amazing service by the staff at Crane, the awesome tasting food, and the collaborative work that went into making the event such a special day!
Although we planned the wedding from a far, I was consistently in communication with the event coordinators and really felt that we were in good hands from day one (Thanks to Jessica Shell and Beth Vanderberg!) They answered all of my questions, provided suggestions when needed, and even supported us in sticking to a budget (which can be extremely difficult when planning a wedding!)
The wedding turned out absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations. Friends/family have not stopped thanking us for inviting them to the "best wedding they have ever been to." I recommend Jekyll Island Club Hotel to anyone who is looking for a unique, romantic, fun, and absolutely gorgeous wedding! -

Amanda Sent on 12/17/2013My family and I had been going to Jekyll Island Club Hotel ever since I was a little girl, so to have the chance to get married there was a dream come true! Cates and Jessica helped me plan the different aspects of my wedding and they were fantastic! Always available for questions, great input and made the whole wedding process a breeze! On the actual wedding day, there were no problems, it was all smooth sailing. Also, the food was incredible! Fresh, warm, prepared perfectly! No complaints from anyone. They also made the cake and made it exactly as I asked. It was so good and they cleaned up at the end so that helped my family out after the wedding was over. I am so happy I had my wedding at the Crane Cottage and I would recommend having a wedding at Jekyll Island Club to everyone! -
Merrin Sent on 06/12/2018We rented the Crane Cottage our for our wedding weekend over Cinco de Mayo. We had 80 people at the wedding. We had our families stay in the 13 Crane Cottage rooms and the rest of the guests stayed in the hotel or surrounding hotels. It was easy for us to meet the wedding room block requirements. We took full advantage of the Cottage by having our rehearsal dinner in the living room on Friday, wedding ceremony in the sunken garden, reception on the front lawn, and farewell breakfast in the living room the next morning. Rachel was both our ceremony coordinator and our catering coordinator, Anthony was our day of guy, and Patty was in charge of our room block and cottage arrangements. Rachel worked with us for over 8 months and was very responsive and sweet via email. She did a nice job helping us answer all the right questions and helped our vision come to life (we DIYed and did all flowers/decor ourselves); only a few small things didn't happen the day of like we planned, like our pedal isle for the ceremony. Still, she was so easy to work. We did not meet Anthony until we got down there, but he was the most amazing Yes-Man. He always had a smile and jumped to action after every request I made. In general, the guests raved about everything. The food for all 3 meals was amazing (we did buffets for everything), and our wedding cake was pretty yummy and well-styled also. The catering here is so reasonably priced relative to other comparable venues. We got lucky with great weather (72 and overcast!) and never had any problems with gnats or mosquito's or anything (which was something I worried about). No one had any complaints about their rooms that I heard about. There were other large parties happening both nights close by the cottage (one at riverfront Friday and Cherokee Saturday), but having the cottage and it's grounds all to ourselves made that not a huge issue besides that they had to borrow some of our chairs (annoying but no one noticed). I highly recommend.

Adilah Sent on 09/14/2014Absolutely loved my wedding reception here, held under the big oak trees on the river front lawn. They made my dream come true and were very accommodating. All my guest (40 of them) love their weekend get away here on the island. Things could not have gone better. The food was great (had the Hawaiian buffet), the cake was delicious, and their services was on point! My family and extended family stayed and rented out the Cherokee Cottage which was like living in a 1920s dream. Their catering manager Cricket and Bridget where so helpful, as well as their reservation manager Rachel, who took care of booking all the rooms for my guest at the main hotel. Rooms are pricey but so worth it, much love to this hotel and their staff -
Laura Sent on 01/23/2018The Jekyll Island Club Resort is without a doubt THE BEST place to get married on the NE Coast of FL-GA!
Brides - trust me, where else can you get the most gorgeous photos of Spanish moss trees, sunset on the river views and stunning historical architecture plus have all your guests stay together in a beautiful home?!
We rented the Cherokee house for our 1/6/18 wedding and our guests continue to rave about the beauty of the grounds, the amazing accommodations and the fabulous food. My wedding was just a dream come true and we loved everything about Jekyll Island and the Club resort. We worked with Kayla in Sales and Rachel in catering. My biggest fear was the cost escalating and getting surprise charges and sub par service on the day. (Mainly due to some negative reviews I read on the Knot). This did not happen at all! We felt we got an amazing value for what we paid, and the team on the day was very helpful, accommodating and all-around awesome.
I can't thank everyone at Jekyll Island Club Resort enough for making my wedding dreams come true! -

Krystal Sent on 11/04/2009This place is so beautiful. Cricket helped us plan things from a distance and was wonderful on my wedding day. I loved our room and how nice all the people at the hotel were. -

Ashley Sent on 12/27/2018An Abhorrent Nightmare
I waited 7 years and traveled across the country to find my wedding venue. I finally pulled the trigger and decided to get married here at Jekyll Island Club Resort after seeing their beautiful ground and lush lawns. Honestly, it's the trees with the spanish moss that did me in. I was so excited to say yes because I had finally found a place that I thought was naturally beautiful. However, once we signed the contract, the entire process from start to finish was an absolute nightmare from start to finish. Their customer service, ability to keep dates and times straight, as well as being able to even read e-mails with information and transpose it correctly was just shockingly unprofessional as well as their total lack of attention to details, in general, was abhorrent. It was honestly my own grit, and hard work that made the wedding pull through (or even happen) at the end, and none of their own. The weddings with the club resort along with their preferred vendors seem to run on this "trust us, you'll love this" concept, instead of being able to ever provide concrete proof with examples and photographs, take actual notes of what their client wants, or even execute anything professionally. If you book one of their wedding packages like I did, you find out that if you don't hit a certain number of guests that even if you say were expecting the grand ballroom, in the end, you can still pay the same amount for that venue, and get shoved into their mustard yellow tiny conference room in the corner. It was honestly a vendor take all situation where they made it clear that I could either cancel the wedding and pay my bill entirely or I could take what they give me and that was that. My entire wedding planning process up until the wedding day with Jekyll Island Club Resort was an absolute nightmare that I literally rushed to get through. In hindsight, my only regret is that I didn't cancel the wedding the day of because my biggest fears of walking into a wedding where I hate every last photo because the flowers that delivered by their "number one floral vendor" couldn't execute what I asked for properly and the hideousness of the reception rooms can't be unseen or edited in any sort of photo. I ended up being so upset that I rushed through the entire day just to get it over with. In hindsight, I would have been doing myself a favor and walked away instead of going through with a subpar wedding from hell with vendors and a venue that genuinely didn't care and was just truly there to turn a profit.
