Best Wedding Chapels In NSW

The wedding chapel has come a long way since its humble beginnings in the early 1800's, when they were built as places of worship to service local communities. Today, the wedding chapel has broadened both its community and design with civil ceremonies now welcome in non-denominational churches that bear little resemblance to the pitched roof buildings of yesteryear.

Most traditional wedding chapels in NSW have been deconsecrated in recent decades and now welcome both religious and non-religious ceremonies. The traditional wedding chapel is an ideal option for couples wanting a ceremony venue only, with most available to hire for 2 - 4 hours at a cost of $750 - $2,000.

Many traditional wedding chapels and churches have had a modern makeover in recent times and feature brand new polished wooden floors, airy white walls and technological enhancements such as air con, lighting and sound systems. Below, you'll even find a heritage wedding church fitted out with 5 luxury bedrooms in the rafters.

Built in the last decade, a new wave of modern wedding chapels include everything from little white replicas to bush cathedrals, log chapels and open-air chapels with & without a roof. Stained glass windows feature side by side with huge walls of glass that not only let in way more light than their traditional counterparts, but some epic views.
