Planning a Tybee Island Beach Wedding?

If you are dreaming of a beach wedding on Tybee Island, here's what is probably really keeping you up at night...

Permits & Beach Rules

Do you need a Tybee Island beach wedding permit? Where can you set up an arch? Between city rules, tide charts, and public beach logistics, it’s hard to know where to even start.

Planning From Out of Town

Most couples planning a destination wedding on Tybee Island don’t live nearby. Scouting spots, meeting vendors, and handling details from hours away quickly becomes overwhelming.

Vendor Chaos

Coordinating photographers, officiants, florists, and rentals on a small island is exhausting. Delayed responses and conflicting availability can derail your timeline fast.

I would love to help!

She went above and beyond even coming up with ideas and helping to find items for me to help get everything completed and ordered prior to the wedding day. On the day of my wedding she took care of everything from setup to clean up that was needed and I did not have to stress or handle anything making my wedding day experience exactly the way that I wanted it to be. She is professional and easy to work with and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a stress free wedding day!”
