Frequently Asked Questions:
· When can we arrive at the Kehoe House?
Check-in is at 4:00pm. Should you arrive in Savannah earlier, feel free to stop by and see if we can accommodate an earlier check-in. It's possible but not guaranteed that we may be able to allow you to check in a little earlier if your room was not rented the night before. Please come see us when you arrive in town, and we will store your luggage, park your car and get you familiar with your home away from home!
· May we have friends and family attend our ceremony?
The Kehoe House welcomes up to six people, including the bride and groom, to participate in your special day. If you'd like to invite more attendees, guests in excess of six will incur a charge of $25 per person. Please be aware that there might be a cost of additional champagne or refreshments for a larger group. Please be mindful that our parlor, music room and veranda are not spacious enough to warmly embrace a large crowd, and that our Elopement Package is designed for intimate ceremonies. We do have a guest limit of 16 adults.
· What about dinner after the ceremony?
It would be our pleasure to make reservations for you at one of Savannah's many romantic restaurants. Please see the restaurant suggestions above and contact us to assist with your reservations. We'll make sure the restaurant knows it's your wedding day!
