Daytime
Explore Jekyll Island
Across the island
A free day to settle in and soak up the Golden Isles — bike the oak-lined trails, wander Driftwood Beach, or simply rest by the sea. We've also planned a few optional things to do with the bride and groom (see below!). Check our Things To Do page for more of our favorites.
12:12 PM
Beach Walk
Driftwood Beach
View map →At 12:12 — a little wink to the day we met — meet us on the sand at Driftwood Beach for a relaxed stroll and one big group photo with everyone we love. Come as you are.
2:00 – 5:00 PM
Party by the Pool
Jekyll Island Club Resort Pool
View map →Totally casual — the bride and groom will be hanging out at the resort pool all afternoon, where we'll have two cabanas reserved. Swing by whenever, take a dip, and say hi! Come and go as you please.
6:30 PM
The Night Before
Eighty Ocean Kitchen & Bar · Jekyll Island Club Beach Resort
View map →The evening before we say 'I do,' we'll gather with family for an intimate dinner at Eighty Ocean Kitchen & Bar at the Jekyll Island Club Beach Resort to savor the moment together.
We'll arrange shuttles from the Jekyll Island Club over to the beach resort — no need to drive!

Morning
Coffee's On Us
Wake Up Coffee

11:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Sunday Brunch at the Club
Jekyll Island Club Resort · Grand Dining Room
View map →The resort puts on a beautiful Sunday brunch in the historic Grand Dining Room — a lovely, optional way to spend the morning before the celebration. You don't have to be staying at the resort to enjoy it; reservations are recommended.
The bridal party won't be able to join — we'll be getting ready for the big day!

The Ceremony
Faith Chapel
View map →We say 'I do' beneath the stained glass of historic Faith Chapel. Please arrive by 3:00 PM to be seated. Right after the ceremony, we'll pop champagne as we step out of the chapel — please linger with us for a group photo on the chapel lawn before we head to cocktail hour.
4:45 PM
Cocktail Hour
Jekyll Island Club · Beneath the Oak by the River
View map →Gather with us beneath the grand moss-draped oak overlooking the river — live music and an open bar as the sun slips low over the water.
5:45 – 10:00 PM
Dinner & Dancing
Jekyll Island Club · Grand Dining Room
View map →An evening of dinner, heartfelt toasts, and a live band to keep us dancing beneath the lights long into the night. Let's celebrate!
