Weddings
The Ford Plantation is one of the nation's premier residential communities and private sporting clubs, sensitively developed on 1,800 breathtaking acres of pristine Georgia Low Country. Located on the site of a former antebellum rice plantation, the majestic waterfront location once captivated the imagination of automobile magnate Henry Ford, who built a historic winter retreat on this lush property in the 1930s.
Unparalleled Ambience
The Main House was automobile magnate Henry Ford's historic winter estate. This wonderful home, a true architectural treasure listed on the National Register of Historic Places, sits atop a bluff overlooking the Ogeechee River and serves as the heart and soul of The Ford Plantation. It provides a formal, elegant atmosphere for outdoor wedding ceremonies and tented receptions. The Lake Dye Grill, the vintage Oyster House, or the Ogeechee Outfitters marina facility are suitable for relaxed rehearsal dinners and family celebrations.
Five-Star Cuisine
Five-star gourmet meals prepared by the Club’s talented culinary team will impress even the most discerning palate. All reception and dinner menus are customized to the occasion in accordance with the wishes of the event host. Casual dining offerings, such as traditional Low Country Oyster Roasts and All-American Barbeques, provide the perfect choice for rehearsal dinners and entertaining out-of-town guests.
Spa Facilities
Relax and renew body, mind, and soul at the elegant and rejuvenating Spa. Formerly Henry Ford's Carriage Home, the Spa is nestled among ancient live oak trees and lush gardens. Relax in the hydrotherapy tub, enjoy a luxurious facial, or unwind with an outstanding massage. Professional staff is available to create perfect hair, nails, and make-up for your big day. The Spa offers a spacious gathering room for the bridal party to enjoy on the day of the ceremony.
