Charcuterie refers to artisanally cured, smoked and dried specialty meats such as salamis and prosciutto cuts. Quite elegant, these unique delicacies are perfect for holiday or special occasions.
Thrive Cafe, an upscale, and certified “green” cafe, offers party and family serving sizes of local charcuterie with classical accompaniments of fruit, grain mustard, cornichons and baguette toasts.
rer example, they offer Benton’s smoky mountain country hams sliced paper-thin and wrapped around seasonal fruit; or Olli Salumeria Americana, an Italian style charcuterie from Virginia which is a special pork from renowned farms such as Ecofriendly and Caw Caw Creek-salamis from the Niman Ranch, a family-run, top-of-the-line sustainable farm. These items are not only healthy, but they are wonderful conversation pieces for your special events.

In 2009, Miley Cyrus made a movie on Tybee Island, GA called The Last Song. A chapel was constructed for part of the story, and Tybee Island was able to acquire it so it could stay on the Island. Now, we are happy to announce that beginning in August, weddings, events, receptions and such can be held in the building!!!!
The 1,800 sq. ft. chapel is absolutely delightful, with beautiful wood floors, leaded windows and a red roof. When ready for rentals, it will have a 700 sq. ft. caterer’s kitchen, a groom’s restroom, a bride’s changing room and two restrooms so it can serve as an all-inclusive spot for wedding and reception or serve as a backup for couples who want insurance against getting rained out on the beach. Parking will include 37 spaces, with additional parking on the street. The location will be the north end of the Island right on US Hwy 80. You’ll be able to rent the building on an hourly basis, and even though it’s sign says “Baptist Church,” it will be nondenominational.
Tybee Vacation Rentals will offer wedding packages – stay in one of our honeymoon cottages, or beach front houses or condos; rent other places for family members (we have over 110 places from which to choose PLUS 40 pet friendly properties); and get married in the chapel and have your reception there, as well. Call us for details. 912-786-5853.

Bryson Hall
Bryson Hall, located on Chippewa Square in Savannah, served as the first automobile show room in the United States. People could peer in the large show window and look at the cars of their dreams back at the turn of the century. The tile floors and ornate woodwork with the spiral staircase served as the perfect backdrop for the big shiny cars.
Having an event? Think about holding it in this spectacular hall that will hold 200. From weddings, to corporate events, receptions, Christmas parties, or just any party, Bryson can be the perfect place for you. Like St. Patrick’s Day but hate that there are no restrooms nearby? Rent the hall. Have your food, drink and restrooms only feet away from the main parade route. Perfect!
Call Tales of the South at 912.786.5101 for information and reservations.
