For couples wanting to tie the knot and celebrate their wedding in the same spot, a wedding venue with a garden or chapel is the perfect solution.
That way, you can have your ceremony in the garden or chapel and then move straight into the reception area. This means that your guests won’t have to travel between different locations, and while you and your new spouse wander through the gardens for photos, your guests can enjoy cocktails in the reception area or outside the chapel.
Here are six gorgeous wedding venues with onsite chapels:
Cedar Creek Estate Winery (QLD)
Cedar Creek’s lovely (and very romantic) sandstone chapel overlooks the estate’s tree-lined lake and, of course, its wonderfully picturesque vineyard. If couples would prefer to wed outdoors, they can move to the estate’s outdoor arbour, which dazzles, particularly in autumn and spring.
Chapel Ridge (Hunter Valley, NSW)
Perfectly placed in the beautiful Lower Hunter Valley, Chapel Ridge is a picture-perfect wedding venue boasting tranquil surroundings, endless photo possibilities, and a charming sandstone chapel for onsite ceremonies. After tying the knot in the onsite chapel, celebrate with your loved ones at Chapel Ridge, surrounded by native trees, expansive fields, and rolling green hills.
Dalywaters Rose Garden & Chapel (VIC)
Dalywaters Rose Garden & Chapel is a gorgeous coastal wedding venue situated on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. This magical location boasts picturesque cottage gardens, vine-clad pergolas, a stunning ornamental lake, and a beautiful open garden chapel. With a lovely Pinot Gris vineyard, lush tall trees, and an exquisite conservatory, Dalywaters offers endless possibilities for wedding photography.
Chapel Hill Retreat (NSW)
The aptly named Chapel Hill Retreat, located just 90 minutes from Sydney in the Blue Mountains, features a non-denominational chapel that is surrounded by quaint guest cottages — because not only will you want to spend your wedding night there, but so too will your guests.

White Chapel Kalbar (QLD)
If you’re dreaming of a fairytale country wedding in Queensland, the multi-award-winning White Chapel Kalbar and Black Hall Kalbar is the perfect place for you. The venue’s historic chapel is a dreamy ceremony location with an arched roof and elegant chandeliers, while Black Hall is an ultra-stylish reception space with a cosy fireplace and antler chandeliers.
Overnewton Castle Receptions (VIC)
Boasting some serious old-world charm, the formal chapel at Overnewton Castle, a towering Victorian Tudor-style mansion, was once a private Billiard room and still features such highlights as the carved oak panels that were shipped over from Scotland in the 1850s.
