Joy at St Peter and St Paul's

What couples will love about Joy at St Peter and St Paul’s for their Far North Coast / Byron Bay / Lismore wedding:

• A chapel with history and character. Original arched windows, timber floors and handcrafted details create a beautiful setting for wedding vows. The former church is now a non-religious venue, welcoming couples to celebrate in their own way.
• Freedom to choose their wedding team. There are no compulsory suppliers or packages. Couples can book their preferred celebrant, florist, photographer and caterer, with space to add their own decorations.
• Exclusive space for a smaller guest list. With seating for up to 50 guests, Joy keeps the celebration close-knit. Exclusive use of the chapel and grounds gives couples and their guests time together for the ceremony, photographs and celebrations afterwards.

Sunlight through arched windows, original timber floors and rolling Northern NSW hills give Joy at St Peter and St Paul’s its distinctive charm. Built in 1899, the restored heritage chapel suits couples looking for a small wedding venue with character and room to make their own choices. Located just outside Alstonville towards Lismore, it is a short drive from Ballina Byron Gateway Airport.

Couples can exchange vows in the chapel, spend time taking photographs in the grounds and gather with guests over food and drinks arranged through their chosen suppliers. The adjoining amenities barn provides a simple undercover gathering area and a servery window for food and beverage service. As a self-service venue, Joy gives couples responsibility for arranging their wedding team, while prepared grounds, included seating and post-wedding cleaning provide a practical starting point.
