Hotel Details!

We are starting get details nailed down for the wedding. We will be getting married at the lighthouse around 7 pm on June 28. Don't let the 7 pm hour scare you! It is NOT going to be a formal wedding. We would like for all of you to be very comfortable. It will be warm (hot) at this time of year. Please dress accordingly! If you show up in pantyhose, a jacket, or a tie, you will have to go back to your room and change.

We have blocks of rooms at 2 hotels. Both hotels are within walking distance of the wedding/reception site. The blocks are under the Johnson/Bradley wedding party. Make sure you mention the block when making reservations. June is peak season in St. Simons so try to book your rooms as soon as you can. Both hotels are small and would only give us a certain number of rooms. They will continue to book rooms for us if we go over our block as long as they have space.


The Village Inn and Pub



The majority of our rooms are at the Village Inn and Pub. This is a small little hotel with only 28 rooms. We have 20 rooms reserved for our party. The nightly rate will be $200 with a 2 night minimum. It is within walking distance to the shops and restaurants in the village, as well as the wedding and reception. Chris and I will be staying here after the wedding.



St. Simons Inn
The nightly rate here is 134.10. It is the closest hotel to the wedding and reception. In fact, you can see the lighthouse in the background of this picture. It is also within walking distance of the village restaurants and shops.



The King and Prince Resort



The King and Prince is a gorgeous hotel on the beach. It is only a mile or so from the wedding. They would not give us a negotiated rate so we didn't block rooms. I just want to give a beachfront option! Please contact them for their rates and specials. I think they are currently charging about $249/nt. with a two night minimum for the summer season.

If you want to make a week's vacation out of your trip to the Golden Isles, there are many condo and rental houses. A Google search will help you out with vacation planning for these options.
