Your guests arriving, mingling, and enjoying the rooftop terrace overlooked by the stunning Story Bridge while eagerly awaiting your entrance to our ceremony wedding venue. Picture yourself walking down the aisle surrounded by chandeliers, antique arched windows, French cross–back chairs and stained glass. Reminisce while looking at the photographs of everyone you love on your wedding day, and the gorgeous chapel façade in the background.
Wedding Ceremony
choose from two wedding ceremony packages, the 'Simple Touch' or 'Perfect Day'
The ‘Simple Touch’ and ‘Perfect Day’ wedding ceremony packages are identical, except the 'Perfect Day' option includes classic seasonal florals on the arbour, altar and signing table.
The florals are arranged by our in-house florist and stylist, Shane Baker from ‘Innerbloom’ in consultation with the couple.
The booking includes exclusive use of the Church and Rooftop Terrace for 90 minutes, including the half an hour prior to the ceremony commencing.
On arrival guests mingle on the Rooftop Terrace, prior to being seating in the Church. Congratulations and photos take place on the Rooftop Terrace.
A wedding coordinator will oversee the ceremony and conduct a 30-minute rehearsal prior to the wedding date.
Monday to Friday and Sunday we offer a flexible start time, subject to availability.
On a Saturday the ceremony commences at either 11am or 1:30pm, as we reserve the late afternoon time for couples who book both their ceremony and reception at High Church.
