The Tybee Island Wedding Chapel, located on picturesque island in Georgia, held its grand opening celebration on Aug. 12. Festivities were presided over by celebrity host David Tutera of WE-TV’s My Fair Wedding. Tutera called the new wedding destination “a wonderful, important venue full of charm and character.”
The Chapel was originally built by artisans to reflect the look of a turn-of-the-century Baptist church for the 2010 romantic drama, “The Last Song,” starring Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth, Greg Kinnear and Kelly Preston. It was slated for demolition after filming wrapped. At the last minute, real estate entrepreneur Stacye Jarrell saved the Chapel and lovingly re-purposed it as a unique wedding venue. Nestled among live oak trees and Spanish moss, the building is quaint, romantic and elegant. The beautifully refurbished Chapel has elevated Tybee Island to a premiere wedding destination and is attracting interest from brides and wedding planners from across the country.
