Chapels in Melbourne

Brides and grooms often ask me about wedding ceremony  sites and locations, especially chapels.    It reflects the need for many couples to incorporate a spiritual tone  into their marriage ceremony but interestingly,  their ceremony may be free of religious dialogue and ritual.  It also reflects the notion that couples differentiate between spirituality and religion.    As an experienced celebrant I can provide a meaningful ceremony that includes the components which are important to you, be they spiritual, secular or non-secular.    Many brides and grooms also book chapels as a contigency if they are having a garden wedding.  This means that if it is a rainy day or Melbourne is experiencing a heatwave, they can move their ceremony from the garden into a chapel. 

If this concept is of interest to you, the following links may provide inspiration.  Located in Kangaroo Ground amidst native gardens and a rustic reception facility is Inglewood Chapel .  Not far away is Ballara Receptions  which offers a “fairy-tale” venue in Eltham.  A similar venue in the outer Northeastern suburb  is Ashton Manor  located in Diamond Creek. Further north is a delightful little white chapel in South Morang, view the the Little White Chapel.

The Yarra Valley provides a stunning backdrop  to your special day with breathtaking views and if you are considering the Yarra Valley for your wedding celebration, have a look at Immerse , Fergusson Winery and Stones Winery. 

Closer to Melbourne in the Blackburn area is the beautiful Elizabethan Lodge.  The building is in tudor style – you can view their facilities at  Elizabethan Lodge.  Ragusa Restaurant is situated west of the city in Williamstown.  This charming building is steeped in history and provides a delightful wedding site.  At the foot of the Dandenong Ranges are two lovely wedding venues that cater for chapel ceremonies.  They are  Bramleigh Receptions in Croydon and Linley Estate in Kilsyth.
