“A gorgeous venue with so much character. It barely needs any styling as it’s already such a romantic and elegant space: a huge window, gorgeous high ceilings, and beautiful eclectic furniture. We had an intimate ceremony followed by a sit-down dinner with 30 guests. The team made us feel at ease that everything was under control, and the entire night went off without a hitch. Location is 10/10, in the heart of Collingwood, and very easy to access.” — Tara M.

Chapel1885 as a whole was really perfect for us as they pretty much project-managed the whole wedding! As two project managers it was a relief that everything from design, vision, food, drink, music and on the day coordination was taken care of. It made our wedding day so easy and helped us be totally present and in the moment. One of my favourite aspects was the quarterly check ins with the wedding planners as they kept us on track and helped reduce the burden of decision-fatigue and made the process exciting and fun. The food was also a stand out with the crowd!

We had the most wonderfully intimate ceremony and celebration at Chapel1885, the venue is magical and Felicity and the team went above and beyond for us and our guests!! We live-streamed our event as well as having a small number of guests present and everyone has complemented us on our venue choice!! We are eternally grateful for how amazing our day was, we would do it again in a heartbeat!! You must check this venue out if you’re looking for something special, thank you Chapel1885 for making our day the most amazing day of our lives!! Lots of love from the Barkers ❤️

A gorgeous venue with so much character, so happy we stumbled upon it! Barely needs any styling as it is already such a romantic and elegant space. The huge window, the gorgeous high ceilings and full of beautiful eclectic furniture. We had an intimate ceremony followed by a sit down dinner with 30 guests. Felicity was a pleasure to work with, she made it easy for us to plan the whole event from interstate during lockdown, from Facetime tours to recommending a fantastic caterer. Her and her partner were fantastic on the night, making us feel at ease that everything was under control, and the entire night went off without a hitch. Location is 10/10, in the heart of Collingwood, very easy to access public transport/taxis/Ubers, but in a relatively quiet back street. Highly recommend!
