Nestled just 15 minutes from downtown Savannah, HollyOaks on the Marsh is a private, historic Lowcountry estate sprawling across 18 lush acres of manicured lawns, heirloom gardens, and tranquil marshland vistas. Every aspect of this venue radiates Southern coastal charm, history, and refined luxury, making it a breathtaking backdrop for your most unforgettable celebrations.

A Venue That Whispers “Timeless Romance”

Built in 1941 as a country estate and now graciously transformed into a luxury wedding and event venue, HollyOaks hosts only about 10 exclusive events per year. Each wedding or corporate affair unfolds with intentional elegance and personalized attention—an experience that truly lasts a lifetime.

Enter through wrought-iron gates, meander down a pebbled drive, and round a wooded bend to discover an idyllic estate that takes your breath away at first sight. With expansive lawns, serene marsh views, and centuries-old oaks dripping in Spanish moss, HollyOaks embodies the kind of dreamy Southern atmosphere that inspires romance—and stunning floral artistry.

Why Ivory & Beau Adores This Venue—and You Will, Too!

At Ivory & Beau, our soul truly resonates with HollyOaks’s timeless, Lowcountry aesthetic. We believe in using floral design to elevate every moment, and what better canvas than a venue that already feels like a fairytale? Our lovestruck designers see the sweeping English gardens, marquee tented lawns, and grand oaks as opportunities to weave in lush, hand-crafted floral statements that feel both effortless and elevated.

Imagine:

Soft, billowy arrangements of heirloom roses and peonies nestled alongside the mature azaleas and camellias in the English garden.
A ceremony framed by a majestic live oak—sometimes called the “Unity Tree,” two trees that fused into one—rooted in the narrative of love and union.
Sunset receptions in sailcloth tents alive with cascading greenery and romantic blooms, mingling with the marsh’s golden hues.
