Savannah Bonaventure & The Grey Weekend — Savannah, GA

Destination: Savannah, GANights: 3Group: 4–10Season: March, April, October, NovemberEstimated: $1,100–$1,900 per person

A long weekend in the city Pat Conroy called 'a pretty town stitched together by the slow walk and the slower drink.' The bride and her people stay at The Perry Lane Hotel — a glass-and-Spanish-moss hotel hidden behind Forsyth Park. Saturday opens with a Bonaventure Cemetery tour at 8am (Spanish moss in the live oaks, the Conrad Aiken bench, the bird-girl statue from Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil). Brunch at The Grey — chef Mashama Bailey's James Beard-winning restaurant in a 1938 Greyhound bus terminal. Afternoon at the SCAD Museum of Art and a slow walk through the squares — Chippewa, Madison, Monterey, the bride lingering at every fountain. Saturday-night cocktails at The Mata Hari (a real speakeasy, password-protected), dinner at Husk Savannah. Sunday: an early walk through Forsyth Park, brunch at Collins Quarter, a bookstore stop at E. Shaver. Decompression at the rooftop spa at the Perry Lane.

Questions

Best months for Savannah?
March–April (azaleas blooming in Forsyth) and October–November (the heat finally breaks). Avoid July–August: 95°F + humidity.
Bonaventure Cemetery tour worth it?
Yes, with a credentialed guide — the cemetery is on the National Register and the Aiken / Mercer / Mongin family plots have 200 years of stories. 7am tours are misty and atmospheric.
How is Savannah different from Charleston?
Slower, looser, more Bohemian — SCAD students give the city a younger pulse than Charleston's Old South polish. Less 'bachelorette destination' than Charleston, more 'we'll-be-the-only-group-here.'
