Can You Enjoy An Intimate Island Elopement In Georgia?

Off the coast of Georgia you will find the beautiful Golden Islands, a group of four islands including Sea Island, Jekyll Island, St. Simons Island and Little St. Simons Island, that is the only privately owned of the Golden Islands.

Eloping to St. Simons Island, Georgia

St. Simons is the largest of the Golden Islands and is accessible by road via the F.J. Torras Causeway or by way of Malcom McKinon Airport which is on the island. St. Simons has a rich Native American history and there is an ancient burial mound located just north of the main village on the Island. St. Simons also played an important role in the American Revolution and there are a number of famous battle sites and the remains of Fort Frederica to be visited during your stay on the island. This makes St. Simons a great choice to elope to if you have an interest in American history.

St. Simons elopements are highly versatile with a range of styles and venues to suit every couple. There are few elopement destinations where you have the choice between a beach elopement, an intimate wedding at a picturesque cotton plantation, a quaint chapel or a dramatic lighthouse among others. Some of the most popular elopement venues on the island include Lovely Lane Chapel, St Simons’ oldest church, The King & Prince Beach & Golf Resort, Ocean Lodge and St. Simons Lighthouse.

As mentioned, the nearby Little St. Simons Island is a privately owned isle which can offer a truly intimate elopement experience. The island is largely untouched and offers a secluded little getaway with stunning natural beauty. The island, which is only accessible by boat, allows no more than 32 overnight guests at any time making it quiet and peaceful – the ideal spot for  eloping couples when eloping in Georgia.

Why Elope to St. Simons?

Eloping to St. Simons, or any of the other Golden Islands is an excellent choice and making the arrangements could not be easier. A Georgia marriage license can be obtained from Glynn County and there is now the option of downloading the application form and paying for the license online. There is no longer any blood test requirement, but proof of age and identity will be required.

The Golden Islands, and St. Simons in particular offer unspoiled natural beauty as the backdrop for your elopement when you elope in Georgia. There is something for everyone to enjoy whether your interests lie in history, nature, or outdoor pursuits. St. Simons offers the perfect opportunity for an island elopement without having to travel to the Caribbean!
