The Chapel
A truly one of a kind chapel for your wedding. In the ‘open-air-church’ you can experience the sound of birds chirping, the flow of water from the river below and dappled sunlight casting it’s blessing on to you and your loved ones on your special day.
A truly one of a kind chapel for your wedding. In the ‘open-air-church’ you can experience the sound of birds chirping, the flow of water from the river below and dappled sunlight casting it’s blessing on to you and your loved ones on your special day. Up to 200 guests are seated in between the towering black wattle and blue gum trees, where you will get to kiss-the-bride. Guests make their way through a tranquil nature walk towards the epitome of a fairytale setting.
The grandeur of black wattle and blue gum trees sets the scene, surrounded by twelve pillars, allowing the outside elements to be a part of the setting. As the sun dips below the horizon, the atmosphere comes to life like an enchanted affair.
The Foyer
After the ceremony guests are welcomed with pre-drinks & canapés in the foyer before making their way to the celebration inside the Polo Venue.
