There are 3 areas you can stay, all within easy distance to the wedding festivities. You can stay in Savannah and enjoy a fun & historic Southern city (30 minutes from the ceremony and reception); or in Bluffton, SC which is closest and most convenient to the ceremony and reception; or by the beach on Hilton Head Island, which is about a 40-minute drive away.
Here are some hotels in those areas that we like...
