Chapel Hill Retreat - Wedding and Event Venue

We fell in love with the chapel as soon as we saw it. We visited other venues but none even came close to the atmosphere and feel of Chapel Hill. So many picturesque spots to hold the ceremony and the reception room was so classy.Right from the start, the team were easy to work with and very accommodating in making our day perfect.The accommodation on site was beautiful. My husband and I stayed in Lake Lodge and I could not imagine a more romantic setting for our wedding night. My family stayed in other on-site accommodation that was so quaint and homely (and far away from our lodge!).I would recommend this venue to anyone. You really feel at home and can make your wedding have whatever feel you are going for.The staff were amazing on the night, always available if we needed anything, without feeling intrusive.The food was delicious and they were great at incorporating all our dietary requirements.I cannot rave enough about this venue and I guarantee that if you go and look at it, you will not be disappointed!

Chapel Hill Retreat was the very first place my then fiance and I went looking for a wedding venue. We met Diane and she took us on an incredible tour of the place. We felt in love at first sight and did not bother to look anywhere else.Since that day, over the next year and a half, we made over four personal trips up to Chapel Hill Retreat before our wedding. In addition to the early planning sessions, we also took part in the Reception Dinner Tasting session and on-site wedding rehearsal. Each time we went up we felt great conviction in our choice of a venue because it was so beautiful. We took great effort to plan our entire wedding to the detail but even if we didn't, the team at Chapel Hill would have helped us tremendously with their suppliers and vendors network. In short, if needed, they could literally have organised everything for us to make any wedding dream a reality.I have lost track of the number of emails I have sent them in the lead up to the wedding and the wonderful grace and patience they showed in responding to each of them! They helped me with every enquiry, modification, and contingency plan. They accommodated our stylistic choices, ceremonial rituals, reception nitty-gritties, and logistics. Diane even suggested the use of the Chapel for our tea ceremony, which was a brilliant idea.Instead of a set menu, we decided to go with the buffet options, which turned out to be the very best dang idea ever since no one on the night of our wedding reception went home hungry or wanting. This is uncommon to be said of reception dinners but the Food. Was. Delicious. Three words: sticky date pudding. Many of our interstate and even international guests commented that the very long trip was worth it. The accommodations were on-site and highly recommended for stay in the night before. Although we didn't stay in the absolutely stunning lakeside Honeymoon Suite, we took fantastic photos around it.Views are simply stunning. We were fortunate to be gifted on the day with not just one but TWO rainbows after a very brief light drizzle which only enhanced our photos! Fortunately, the drizzle came after the ceremony and a beautiful sunshine broke out. We really took advantage of the expansive venue as well, taking photos at each of the key locations on-site. Bushland. Blue Mountains. Lakeside. Chapel.From guiding my bride down to the arbor to serving the buffet at reception to making sure our accommodation was ready, we felt like VIPs on the entire 35 acre venue. Yes, we had the entire 35 acres to ourselves! Serendipitously, I am training to become a wedding celebrant. I cannot recommend a better wedding venue.Thank you to Diane, Rebecca, and the entire Chapel Hill Team, for everything!- Terence and Lily

Chapel Hill was a beautiful venue for our wedding.The team there did an amazing job of organising and supporting us through the entire process. Rebekah, Rebecca, Diane were beyond incredible, helping us navigate the complexities of the pandemic and restrictions. I know from speaking to friends that very few venues are as communicative and responsive as Chapel Hill. We couldn't have asked for a better or more supportive team.The venue itself was exquisite and perfect for our needs. We invited a lot of 'foodies' who agreed that the food was excellent, and was a highlight for our guests. They were very well fed and nobody went home hungry.The team were incredible on the day, taking any minor issues that arose in their stride. We felt very well looked after!Overall, we had a magical and perfect day at a magical and perfect venue!

My daughter was married here last weekend and I would definitely recommend it for your wedding! Diane and Rebecca were fantastic to deal with from the beginning and they were very attentive and made sure everything ran to plan on the day. The food was beautiful and the staff were all fantastic.The venue is in an amazing location. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. We also stayed on site and the accommodation was very well presented.The weather wasn't too kind to us as it rained most of the day but it didn't dampen anyone's spirits and I have to say it was one of the best weddings I have ever attended.Thank you again Chapel Hill!

Chapel Hill was one of the first venues that my husband and I looked at. We left that initial meeting with Diane filled with excitement – we knew we had found our venue! The property is gorgeous and very spacious, with green rolling hills and gardens, as well as bushland and a beautiful lake (with a very romantic lake lodge!). The view from the verandah of the reception hall is breathtaking, and there are so many options on the property for ceremony locations – the space is just perfect.Diane and the team at Chapel Hill were professional and enthusiastic. They were very happy to tailor our wedding package just for us – we held the wedding across two days, with multiple events on the property. All our requests were catered for and we are especially grateful for their flexibility and support throughout the entire planning process, particularly when we had to reschedule the wedding 6 weeks out due to COVID.The wedding went incredibly smoothly – the whole team worked so well behind the scenes to put everything together, my husband and I were truly able to relax and enjoy our day! Our guests all commented on how beautiful the venue was, the friendly and professional staff, and the DELICIOUS food! The onsite accommodation was also a huge plus, it was great to have all our close friends and family staying with us. The beds are super comfy and the homestead, honeymoon lodge & other cottages are so cosy and beautifully decorated!We are so glad that we found Chapel Hill – we want to thank Diane, Rebecca, Rebekah and the rest of the team for all their amazing work and support in organising our wedding day. We cannot recommend them enough! It was an absolutely magical experience that my husband and I will cherish for the rest of our life together <3

Chapel Hill Retreat is the first venue my husband and I looked at. We didn’t bother looking at any other venues because Chapel Hill had it all.It is a stunning mountains property with beautiful gardens and views of the rolling hills. Chapel Hill particularly stood out to us because of the all the different ceremony areas and reception package options, we were truly able to tailor our wedding to us. We also loved that our family and friends could stay onsite in the cottages and enjoy our first breakfast together as husband and wife.The team at Chapel Hill had very prompt communication and were happy to answer all my questions to calm the bridal nerves. We had to postpone during lockdown and everything was communicated openly for a smooth postponement.Diane went above and beyond to coordinate our wedding and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day, exactly as we had planned. It was a pleasure to meet with Diane throughout the process, and to see her friendly face on the day. Diane become our friend by the end of it all.The food was exceptional, both dinner and buffet breakfast. We had many guests tell us it’s the best food they have ever had at a wedding.The atmosphere of the day was filled with love, happiness and fun. My husband and I were truly able to relax and enjoy our wedding day thanks to the tireless hard work of the Chapel Hill staff. We cannot thank you all enough and we could not recommend Chapel Hill Retreat higher as a wedding venue.

Chapel Hill Retreat is beautiful venue and the staff are excellent. The food was delicious and ambience was perfect. Thank you so much!

Chapel Hill Retreat have stunning views and friendly staff. Even we were only hosting a small wedding, the team was very nice and flexible to help us arrange every small details through out the process. And most importantly, the venue is very pet friendly! Our dog got to be a part of our special day thanks to the Chapel Hill Team.Highly recommend!

Chapel Hill Retreat was, is and always will be the wedding venue of our dreams! The minute we drove into the venue we knew we had found our place. The perfect little home away from home to bring our dream wedding to life and to celebrate our love with our nearest and dearest.We loved the venue so much we locked in a whole weekend! The staff were helpful, patient, kind and just down right amazing from day 1 and helped us every step of the way.When the weekend came around the staff welcomed us with open arms, made us feel right at home and helped all of our guests settle in nicely. We had a friday night family dinner in preparation for the big day on Saturday followed by a recovery breakfast on Sunday morning. The whole weekend went perfectly, literally not a single a hiccup!The food was delicious, the venue is stunning, the accommodation was perfect for guests of all ages and the little extras like champagne in the honeymoon suite on arrival or candlelight cake and bubbles at the end of our reception made the stay just that bit more special!We can't thank the team enough for such an incredible weekend. Our guests loved every minute and still talk about how epic the dance floor was to this day :)Thank you Chapel Hill!

We had our wedding there in may 2023 and it was an absolutely perfect day. The venue coordinators were fantastic at keeping us in the loop of everything happening on the day and we’re super adaptive when plans changed. My partner and I loved being able to get ready at the venue and the space itself is awesome. Really well taken care of.
