 “The Whitman is the perfect setting for a Savannah wedding or elopement, with all the charm, style and elegance that make Georgia’s First City such a great wedding destination,” said Buckner. “Our goal was to restore this incredible property to its former splendor and to create a first-class place to tie the knot in Savannah.”
