Posted Monday, August 01, 2011 10:31 AM

The Tybee Island Wedding Chapel is delighted to present its grand opening celebration, Cut the Ribbon, Cut the Cake! on Friday, August 12, beginning at 10:30 a.m. At this exclusive event, David Tutera of WE-TV's My Fair Wedding will be cutting the ribbon and the cake. He will then host a press conference inside the chapel, followed by an open house until 4 p.m. showcasing the talents and wares of wedding industry stand-outs in vignettes envisioned by the celebrity wedding planner.

The people of Tybee Island have embraced the Tybee Island Wedding Chapel, which David Tutera calls "a wonderful, important venue full of charm and character," and hold its moving story close to their hearts. Originally built by prized artisans to reflect the look of a turn-of-the-century Baptist chapel for a popular movie, it was slated for demolition after filming wrapped. At the last minute, the new owner Stacye Jarrell, saved the Chapel and lovingly repurposed it as a unique, beautiful wedding venue. The renewed Chapel has elevated Tybee Island to a premiere wedding destination where brides and grooms from across the country come to take their vows.

Elite members of the special event trade will design vignette motifs conceptualized by David Tutera to reflect the spirit of the Chapel, including: Lowcountry Chapel, Classic Chapel, Coastal Chapel, Picnic Posh and Unexpected Highlights of the Changing Seasons on Tybee. My Fair Wedding's David Tutera will review the vignettes with their creators and give a press conference regarding the charms the Tybee Island Wedding Chapel offers. He will also be on hand to meet and mingle, a great time for any members of the media, as well as his fans to say hello.

If you haven't been for a visit, Tybee Island, Georgia, is a lovely and eclectic island that is a truly inspirational destination. The Chapel reflects that spirit, a treasure amongst the live oak trees and Spanish moss. Tybee Island, awarded the title "Healthiest Beach in the US" by Health Magazine, has been prominently featured in national media. Arrangements will be made to accommodate a limited number of the media on the island, and interested parties should please contact Toren Anderson.
