Tybee Island Wedding Chapel & Grand Ballroom

Wow! I can NOT say enough AMAZING things about this absolutely breath taking chapel and ballroom! From the first time I laid eyes on Tybee Island Wedding Chapel- I knew it was where we were going to get married. A little back story to our finding of the chapel: So, I have... Read More always wanted to elope. Never wanted the big wedding and all the planning that goes into it. But, one day I was online and came across the little white chapel. I had NO idea where it was or any information about it- it was just a picture. So, I told my boyfriend at the time that if I ever got married- that is where it was going to happen. Again- not a clue where this place was. So, I started doing my research. I found out everything I could about this little slice of heaven- and of course passed that info along to my hubs. Thank goodness he listens! He planned a surprise weekend in Savannah- complete with and engagement and a trip to the chapel! The second we pulled up- we just knew we HAD to get married there. We chatted with Ray a bit and finally decided to pick a wedding date. And the rest is history:) Ray- you are an absolute gem. Your calming demeanor, your quick response, and your overall knowledge of the industry and its goings on are top notch. You and your team made this process a breeze. I appreciate every single e-mail and phone call. I am forever grateful to you for making my wedding the best day ever. Thank you.

That Magic Moment

First came the engament, and then an over whelming amount of details to figure out. The biggest one of all “where should we get married?” we were split between the mountains and the beach. After looking around online it did not take me long to find the wedding venue of my... Read More dreams. It looked to be the best of both worlds; it had beautiful hard wood floors & high ceilings with wooden beams that surrounded the perfect level of elegance in chandeliers and decor. It had the classic rustic charm of the mountains; however it was sitting just by the ocean. It was amazing, it was breath taking, it was a fairytale, and I knew the second I clicked on the first picture that Jason and I must be married at this place of perfection. Luckily when I first showed Jason the images of the Tybee Island Wedding Chapel, he too knew right away that we had found our place to take our vows and begin our lives together. We never even considered looking anywhere else we knew in our heart of hearts that this was the place. It didn’t end there; more perfection, professionalism, and a true caring kindness were still to come. Ray Anaya, the director of events at the Tybee Island Wedding Chapel, was standing on the patio of the chapel when we arrived to meet with him and see the venue in person. He was quick to offer a warm welcoming that immediately made you feel like things could not get any better. He had excitement, energy, and clear love for his job! Never did I feel like I had asked him a question that he had already answered for 100 other brides. Over the months leading up to our wedding I called, emailed, or sent messages to Ray with every question you could imagine. Always his happy, amazing, spirit responded right away. Often he would just hear me out on different things that I was thinking, or things that I had going on in the planning process. He offered advice, direction, smiles, and most importantly he always told me it would be ok and things would work out. Planning a wedding four hours away from your home could have been more of a challenge than it was if it was not for Ray, and the other amazing staff of the chapel. Even before our perfect wedding day Ray had already made us feel like we were part of something special at the chapel. Today a few months after our wedding I still feel the same way, and I would be heartbroken if I was to been married anywhere else. The Tybee Island Wedding Chapel is so special to me for so many reasons, and it is so much more that “just the place” we got married it is a part of us, our family, and a place that created many special connections. There is no greater place to get married in Savannah, and no place has better people to support your dreams than here! I am so proud to be a Tybee Island Chapel Bride!!

Perfect Place for the Perfect Day

I came across the Tybee Island Wedding Chapel after our first venue had gone into foreclosure. I have grown up around Savannah, so I often take Tybee for granted and wasn't really sure if I wanted to do my wedding there. My mom told me about the chapel and that it was featured... Read More in the Miley Cyrus movie, "The Last Song." I must admit, at first, this was a turn off. But because we were desperate, we decided to take a tour anyways. We were so glad we did. We instantly fell in love with the environment, the beautiful and simple touches of the building, and the very helpful and personable chapel coordinator, Ray. Leading up to our wedding, Ray took care of all the table/chair arrangements and was quick to respond to any questions we had. We asked to look around inside the chapel several times as we tried to gather decoration ideas and measurements. He was able to personally meet us every time within as little as two hours. He never made us wait until the next day! I also liked that this venue didn't make all your decisions for you. Sure it would have been easier, but then it wouldn't have been mine? On the actual wedding day, Ray had all the tables and chairs set up for us! It was so nice to just arrive and set out decorations and not have to worry about the rest. The amazing thing about this venue is that you can do an elaborate or simple, minimal wedding and it will still look stunning. I am a simple person. After everything was set up I could not have hand-picked a better place to express my personality. It was exactly what I had always dreamed my wedding to look like and feel like. It was perfect. The beautiful hard wood floors, the southern church pews, the elaborate arched beams in the ceiling, the large porch with a clever twist of a tree going right through it, the beautiful double staircase which was perfect for wedding party pictures, even the downstairs where we ate... it is just an amazing place. Our caterer loved the workable kitchen. The girls, my mom, my sisters, and I loved having an extra room just for us to get ready in. My husband and I chose not to see each other before the ceremony, so it was easy to hide in the room and goof off with the girls without feeling trapped or claustrophobic until the ceremony! The guys also loved having their little room to have their guy time. All in all, I'm not really sure my review does this venue justice. For me, it wasn't just another wedding venue... it felt like home. It felt like a part of me and my husband, a piece of our relationship and personality in that chapel. Its more than just a building, it is timeless. A cute little place you can bring your kids to one day and say, "Thats where mommy and daddy got married." Isn't that what every bride wants? The chapel coordinator, Ray, was just icing on the cake. The staff and the pictures speak for themselves. I'm so thankful that our unfortunate events led us to this place. I couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else. You won't regret having your wedding here... I know I won't :)

The Tybee Island Wedding Chapel is BREATHTAKING. It is even prettier in person. I live in WV & had a destination wedding on March 26, 2017.

Amazing venue!

We visited the Tybee Wedding Chapel over a year ago and instantly fell in love with it. The chapel upstairs is just GORGEOUS!!!!!! The newly renovated ballroom downstairs is just as stunning. Our guests were blown away by the venue and haven't stopped complimenting us. The venue... Read More is comfortable for your bridal party (we had more than enough space to touch-up) and the backdrop makes for amazing photos. The best part is you have total control of other vendors you want to use from catering to photographers to music. Things that add up (like chairs and AV equipment) are all included. Ray and his team are a joy to work with. They are kind, accommodating and pleasant. We didn't run into any issues at all. I would highly recommend this venue to create your dream wedding. It is fabulous!

Tybee Island Wedding Chapel

Loved the venue location but working with Ray and his staff was a joy. He answered all our questions in a timely fashion and did whatever was necessary to make this occasion joyous and less stressful. Highly recommend.

Wedding Day Perfection!

I spent my summers growing up in Tybee and when we got engaged, I asked my (British) fiance to come see what it was all about. He instantly fell in love with the island and with the chapel/ballroom (even though it wasn't built at the time!). Ray was absolutely phenomenal to... Read More work with - not sure the word "no" is in his vocabulary. He responded to emails within minutes, even on days where I know he wasn't "working" - but I guess in this job it's 7 days a week no matter what when it comes to crazy brides. Having the ceremony, reception and cocktail hour in one location made set up, clean up and everything in between flow perfectly. It's a venue that gives you that small and romantic feel - gives me goosebumps when I think about it. Loved having the Bride/Groom Suites to prepare in - made the experience so much more magical than getting ready in a hotel room or a bedroom. If I were to start the wedding planning process all over again - this is one of the many many things I would not change. Thank you Ray for being at our beck and call the day of and days leading up to - it was amazing!

Dream Venue

It took one photo of the Tybee Island Wedding Chapel to make my decision. I saw that photo and immediately told my now husband "this is where I see us getting married!" We booked and paid for the venue without even seeing it in person and when we arrived it was even better than... Read More my dreams! Ray and his team were the best: accommodating, friendly, and overall genuinely happy and excited for Brian and I!! Every bride should have a venue they love and an experience they will cherish forever just as I did. I'd recommend this venue to anyone looking for a truly unique experience and breathtaking photos.

Best. Venue. Ever!

I was married in this chapel on March 23, 2013. I originally wanted to look at the venue as an alternative if we could not have our wedding outside. Once I saw it, I fell in love. Imagine all the aspects of your dream wedding being in one location. Beach, beautiful chapel,... Read More gorgeous reception area...everything. The best part was it was all inclusive. We didn't have to pay extra for chairs, tables, the staff to change everything over, even the integrated sound system was included in the price. Ray was so awesome to work with and he is the sweetest person. I have no criticism for this venue!
