If you’re thinking about eloping and looking for a place with breathtaking coastal views, charming dirt roads, historical architecture and more – you’ve come to the right place! Liberty County is the perfect picturesque place to say “I do.” Our community is a place where romance meets Southern hospitality and natural beauty. Keep reading to learn more about several spots that would set the perfect scene.
St. Catherines Island
Get all dressed up and prepare to say your vows as you breathe in the salt air and listen to the waves hit the shore. Our barrier island, St. Catherines, is the perfect spot for an intimate beach wedding! It is only accessible by boat, so you’ll need to book a charter! Ride out with Billigan Tours and learn the history of the island as you cruise along. If you’re really looking to make an entrance, book a sunset cruise with Slack Tide Tiki. They’ll drop you off and come back to pick you up!
Pro Tip: Make sure to stay on the shore of the island because visitors are only allowed into the interior if they’ve been invited.

Take the path less traveled and do something bold! A dirt road isn’t a traditional venue for a wedding, so you’re sure to stand out. We’ve got no shortage of beautiful dirt roads around here, so pick your favorite one and make it a quiet spot for you and yours! The tree canopies create a whimsical vibe that will make every moment of your ceremony feel like living in a dream! Some of our favorite dirt roads are Old Sunbury and Cay Creek in Midway and Barrington Ferry Road in Riceboro.
Pro Tip: If you choose Barrington Ferry Road, keep an eye out for the tree spirits carved in the trunks. There are five total!
Bryant Commons

If you’re looking for a romantic location with multiple different backdrops for you to exchange vows in front of, Bryant Commons is the right place. Say “I do” in front of the red barn, under the live oak trees or alongside one of the ponds! This 150-acre passive park offers many amenities to choose from for the day that will live in your heart forever. It’s conveniently located off of Highway 84 making it easy to find and access.
Pro Tip: Bring your furry friend along as the ring bearer! Pups are welcome here.
Bradwell Park
Create a modern vibe with a classic feel in downtown Hinesville’s newly renovated Bradwell Park. This area offers a blend of progress and history making it an ideal spot for a couple who is modern with a touch of eclectic! Stand beneath the trees or in front of the splash pad and confess your love. You’ll probably make some new friends while you’re here because many residents frequent this park!

The perfect coastal scenery to tie the knot does exist, and it is at the Sunbury Crab Company! The dock stretches out into the water. The lighting during golden hour is phenomenal.

The dock is never crowded and always quiet, so you can hear all the sounds while the salt breeze blows through your hair. It is definitely an intimate place to share one of the biggest moments of your life!
Pro Tip: Time it perfectly and watch the sun go down while having celebratory dinner and drinks on the porch of the Sunbury Crab Company. A reservation is required, so click here to book.
