About Alamanda Great Barrier Reef Chapel
The Alamanda Great Barrier Reef Chapel is a purpose-built wedding chapel on the beachfront at Palm Cove, on the northern beaches of Cairns. It stands in the private gardens of the Alamanda Palm Cove resort, looking out over the beach and the Coral Sea. Inside, the non-denominational chapel has a high vaulted ceiling, natural timbers and a polished timber dais. Retractable glass bi-fold doors open the room to the gardens and the beach, and the chapel is fully air-conditioned. Pew seating takes about 40 guests, with standing room for larger groups. With the surrounding timber deck in use, the chapel can hold weddings of up to 150. Ceremonies are planned and run by a Cairns-based wedding planning team with exclusive access to the chapel. Packages include sole use of the chapel and grounds for the ceremony, a civil celebrant, silk flower decorations, a glass signing table, a personalised welcome board and the surround sound system with a cordless microphone. Reception packages range from a three-course long lunch set up on the beachfront to an evening dinner with canapés under festoon lights strung between the palms. A larger package includes sole use of the resort's beachfront restaurant for up to 120 guests. Couples can style the chapel to their own theme, from boho to tropical or barefoot luxury. Extras include photography, film, fresh flowers, live musicians and fireworks on the beachfront.
