HALL SET-UP
Our Pre-Wedding Spaces
Chapel House offers two well-appointed halls that can be used independently or together, giving you flexibility as your plans take shape
Harmony Hall
The Great Hall is ideal for wedding ceremonies and main receptions, offering a bright, spacious setting suitable for larger gatherings. The hall includes access to a fully equipped serving area, making it convenient for food service during ceremonies, receptions, or evening celebrations.
Serenity Suite
The Studio Hall provides a complementary space that works perfectly for dining, buffet service, family seating, preparation areas, or quieter moments during the day. When both halls are booked together, the Studio Hall provides access to a large kitchen with full cooking facilities, supporting catered or family-led food preparation.
Using Both Together
Both Hall are linked by internal connecting doors, allowing them to be opened and used as one extended space. This arrangement works particularly well for weddings that move through different stages of the day, offering natural flow between ceremony, dining, and celebration.
