Chapel Ridge

Description

Chapel Ridge’s very own sandstone chapel, pavilion, bar, and themed castle (with a maze!) sit within 200 acres of rural land in the Lower Hunter Valley. Set high on a ridge, this stunning location offers impressive views with native trees and expansive fields extending into the distance providing iconic sunsets! All this, plus natural privacy, makes Chapel Ridge a rare find.

Chapel Ridge is the perfect venue regardless of the season. The entire complex is fully air-conditioned and designed to seamlessly cater for all aspects of your wedding, including any unexpected turns of weather. After your ceremony, you’re invited to meander from the sandstone chapel, to the private bar for drinks, and perhaps canapes in front of a large open fire. 

Once your guests are settled in, you will be invited to explore the property for exceptional photo opportunities in a 4WD army truck. Your guests will enjoy a champagne toast at sunset, then be escorted to the pavilion or wisteria terrace, under an array of fairy lights and floodlit trees for your beautiful dinner.

“Chapel Ridge is the most magical place on this planet! 

My husband and I fell in love with Chapel Ridge from the moment we arrived for our site visit. Not only was the scenery absolutely spectacular, but our interactions with Gary, Babette and the Chapel Ridge team made us feel right at home. We knew straight away that this was the place for our wedding. No expense was spared in creating this breathtaking venue, which you can see right from the moment you lay eyes on the chapel. The love poured into this venue is clearly evident as you walk around the grounds –  there truly is no other venue like it.

The team at Chapel Ridge made our wedding planning experience a breeze. Their willingness to help and accommodate our every need made the lead up to the big day stress-free, and for that, we are so thankful. In addition, we appreciated the prompt replies we received from Jade when contacting Chapel Ridge via email, again making the planning experience easy and stress-free.

We cannot recommend Chapel Ridge more highly as a wedding venue for future brides and grooms. Not only will you have access to a slice of paradise, but you know that the team at Chapel Ridge will look after you.

We will be forever grateful to the Chapel Ridge team, and no words could express just how amazing they truly are!” — Lou + Josh
