HollyOaks on the Marsh

What HollyOaks on the Marsh does

HollyOaks on the Marsh is a privately held, owner-operated luxury event venue operating on an 18-acre private estate in the Grove Point area of Savannah, Georgia. The property features a 1941 Manor Home designed by Savannah architect John Lebey, a 1929 Creek House Cottage, and heirloom gardens with 50+ camellias and Live Oak trees up to 450+ years old, with provenance tracing to a 1747 King George II land grant. The business was purchased by Jay and Stephanie Maupin in March 2018 after years of private ownership by the Maner family, and was subsequently renovated and converted into an exclusive event venue under the restored original name HollyOaks on the Marsh.

The company's core offering is exclusive event hosting, capped at 8 events per year to maintain exclusivity, serving two primary segments: luxury wedding couples and corporate event clients. Capacity extends up to 550 outdoor guests across multiple ceremony locations including the Round Garden, River Lawn, and English Garden, with tented reception support. An ancillary offering is the 1929 Creek House Cottage, distributed via Airbnb and accommodating up to six overnight guests. The technology stack is minimal, consisting of a Wix-based website for booking inquiries and customer management, with no proprietary platforms or APIs.

Revenue is generated through one-time event rental fees structured as a 50% retainer to secure the date, 25% at nine months prior, and 25% at six months prior. Pricing is custom, undisclosed, and shaped by event length, access needs, and guest count. Go-to-market combines direct website inquiries and wedding-planner referrals through a curated preferred vendor network, supported by editorial features in Style Me Pretty, Wed Society, Savannah Magazine, Party Slate, and Carats & Cake. The team comprises fewer than 10 staff including an arborist, horticulturist, craftsman, and groundskeeper, making this an asset-rich, low-headcount lifestyle business without institutional investors or expansion capital.
