Arrivals, Weddings, Engagements and Elopements
Whether you're looking to arrive in style or exchange vows with Savannah's stunning waterways as your backdrop, we've got you covered!
Here at Joyride Boat Club, we love collaborating to create your perfect celebration! We offer customized arrival, wedding, engagement, and elopement packages tailored to make your special moments truly unforgettable.
Planning a surprise engagement? We're absolutely thrilled to be part of your secret and will help you craft the perfect waterfront setting to pop the question! For weddings at venues like The Wyld or Savannah Yacht Club, we can arrange a stunning arrival that will have your guests captivated from the very first moment.
Your vision, brought to life
Our process begins with understanding your vision—we want to learn everything about what your perfect event would look like. From there, we create a customized quote based on your unique needs and desires. Some couples prefer a simple eco-cruise experience where they provide their own food, beverages, and florals, while others choose to work with us on full-service options including catering, florals, photography, and more.
Our package rates are thoughtfully constructed based on your specific requirements, starting with our base charter fee and building from there based on guest count, desired location, and any special add-ons you'd like to include. Please reach out to start the conversation—we'd be honored to help make your special day absolutely magical!
Say “I do” on the water.
Imagine exchanging vows surrounded by winding creeks, golden marsh grass, and a soft coastal breeze — just you, your person, and the Lowcountry. Our on-board elopements and intimate weddings offer a serene alternative to the traditional — personal, peaceful, and completely unforgettable.
Meet Your Captain & Officiant
Taryn Weston, our Lead Captain, could be both your captain and your officiant. She'll navigate you to a stunning waterfront ceremony setting and lead a relaxed, personalized ceremony crafted around your love story — all in one seamless experience.
A Georgia native who's called Tybee Island and Savannah home for over nine years, Taryn became an officiant for the love of love. Ordained in 2023 after close friends asked her to officiate their elopement, her style is heartfelt, easygoing, and designed to feel entirely yours.
What's Included
Officiant services are available as an add-on to any 2-hour charter for $350 and include a personalized ceremony on the water, a 30-minute pre-ceremony consultation via phone or Zoom, and marriage certificate filing with the Chatham County Probate Court.
Couples are responsible for obtaining their marriage license from the Chatham County Probate Court prior to the ceremony date.
Enhance Your Day
Complete your celebration with wine and charcuterie from Provisions Savannah, fresh florals from Ramona Studios, or bring your pup along — because they should be there too.
“I became an officiant for the love of love. Ordained through the Universal Life Church in 2023 after two dear friends asked me to officiate their elopement, I quickly discovered how meaningful it is to help couples begin their next chapter. My style is heartfelt, simple, and easygoing, creating a space that feels personal, relaxed, and truly yours.” — Taryn Weston
