About us

Purpose-built wedding venue on 200 acres with sandstone chapel, pavilion, and onsite accommodation

Chapel Ridge is a family-owned wedding venue set on 200 private acres in the Lower Hunter Valley, approximately one hour north of Sydney. The venue hosts exclusively one wedding per day, ensuring complete privacy with no shared spaces or public access. The centrepiece is a purpose-built sandstone chapel featuring an iconic 17-metre crystal window, positioned on a ridge with panoramic views. Reception options include a purpose-built pavilion and wisteria terrace, with capacity for up to 120 guests. A weather-protected rustic bar connects ceremony and reception areas. All indoor spaces are fully undercover and air-conditioned, with backup commercial generator onsite. The grounds feature an Alice in Wonderland-themed hedge maze, giant chess, lawn games, and manicured gardens with evening lighting. The Farm House, a 5-bedroom accommodation on the property within a 5-minute walk, offers space for couples and families to prepare on wedding day. Parking is available onsite for guests and vendors, including coach access. The venue is licensed and provides beverage packages. Professional planning and on-the-day coordination services are included. Nine bathrooms plus a luxury bridal bathroom are available onsite.

Couples consistently describe Chapel Ridge as a dream wedding venue, praising the stunning sandstone chapel, crystal window and immaculately maintained 200-acre grounds. What stands out most is the team—especially Jade, Gary and Babette—for their warmth, organisation and genuine care, making couples and guests feel supported from first enquiry through to the big day. Vendors and celebrants echo this praise, calling it one of the best-presented venues in NSW. Guests repeatedly call it stress-free, seamless and simply magical.

From the moment we walked into Chapel Ridge, we knew this was our venue. The purpose built space is absolutely beautiful but more importantly, we felt so supported by Jade and her team throughout the wedding process. The team are responsive, organised and experienced. It was a pleasure to work with Jade, Gary, Babette and Brooke for our special day.
