Old Fort Jackson Reviews

Choosing Old Fort Jackson for our wedding venue was the best decision ever! Everything was so beautiful and unique. And Julia was amazing to work with. So responsive and helpful. Best day ever

Old Fort Jackson was the perfect setting for our wedding. Julia was a great contact and was wonderful during our planning process. She recommended a wonderful lighting service (Eddie Kimmer), was accommodating to all of our other vendors, and even helped collect some oyster shells from around the venue for us to use as decor on our tables. We included a cannon firing at the end our ceremony and had a fire pit for smores. All in all it made for a one of a kind ceremony setting and was memorable for all who attended. Thank you so much for helping us have the perfect wedding day!

We chose Old Fort Jackson as our venue for multiple reasons. 1) the location is very unique and I knew it would be a fun spot that others would enjoy 2) it provided an outdoor feel with the security of a plan B back up with the pavilions 3) we had total free reign of the entire venue during our big day 4) the staff was so kind and very helpful and 5) it really was affordable. Julia (the coordinator) was amazing at answering any question we had. The only thing I would say that is a downer is the bugs but that’s what you get for being near water in Savannah. If you are to have your wedding here it is best to have citronella candles and bug spray for your guests. Overall we are so beyond happy with how our big day turned out and our guests are continuing to talk about it so I think that’s a win!

This venue created the Most magical day for our wedding! Can't even express how lovely the day was, unforgettable venue to get married. Luckily we had amazing weather on Sept 30th. Backdrop for photos were so beautiful and we cannot recommend this venue enough if wanting an outdoor wedding! Soldiers were very lovely and created a very neat cannon firing experience for us and our guests. Make sure you read the contract closely and ask any f/u questions regarding fees to avoid any financial surprises but worth the money!

Old Fort Jackson was an amazing place to have our Wedding. It was very unique with the historic value which added to our wedding. Lisa and The staff exceeded their expectation and made our wedding perfect!! It's truly was beautiful and memory to always cherish. Our family and friend have stated numerous times how unique, beautiful and cool our wedding was.
Excellent choice for a wedding venue!

Old Fort Jackson was such a unique place for our wedding! It was also much more affordable for the Savannah area than a lot of other venues. Natalie was so prompt in responding to all my emails. Only down fall is limited time to set up (unless you pay the fee to set up earlier) and it does take a little bit of work to turn this rustic fort into a wedding venue. Nonetheless, it makes for such a fun place to get married and there are countless opportunities for great photos! Oh and the cannon firing is totally worth the additional fee! So glad we chose OFJ for our big day!

Julia at OFJ has been an absolute pleasure to work with! I’m very much looking forward to having our wedding here October 2020!
