If you have been dreaming of a wedding venue that feels coastal, historic, and effortlessly elegant, Haig Point is one of the Lowcountry’s most breathtaking choices. Located on the quiet, car-free shores of Daufuskie Island,Haig Point is just a one hour drive and short ferry ride from Savannah, GA. This private and preserved community offers couples a wedding experience that feels completely intimate from the moment they step off of the ferry.
The Setting
Haig Point brings together natural Lowcountry charm and refined historic character, offering indoor and outdoor wedding locations for every season. The Haig Point Lighthouse remains one of the most iconic ceremony spots in the region, with wide water views, a crisp white exterior, and a timeless atmosphere that photographs beautifully. Across the property, you will find sweeping lawns shaded by century-old oaks, pristine coastal stretches, and elegant club venues perfect for receptions of any size.
Haig Point’s rich past adds even more depth to its beauty. The land was first settled in the 1730s, and the iconic Haig Point Lighthouse, built in 1873, once guided ships through the Calibogue Sound. Many of the historic structures on the property have been carefully restored, including the beloved Strachan Mansion, which was moved to the island and preserved as a guest accommodation.
Because the island is car-free and accessible only by ferry, every corner feels relaxed, intentional, and distraction-free. The stillness of the island naturally becomes part of the celebration, allowing each moment to unfold with ease. Whether you envision a waterfront ceremony, a relaxed celebration on the lawn, or a refined reception inside the clubhouse, Haig Point offers endless options for couples who want a wedding that blends luxury with a true sense of place.
