About The Chapel Montville

The Chapel Montville sits on Main Street in Montville, high in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. It is a private wedding estate built around a chapel made by hand from Helidon sandstone, red cedar and white onyx, with gardens and a view that runs out to the coast. The chapel is where ceremonies happen. Leadlight and stained glass are set into the stone walls, carved creatures hide in the cedar pews, and a glass wall at the far end frames the outlook. On a wet day the ceremony simply stays indoors. After the vows, guests move to Cupids, a glass-walled pavilion with a slate floor and a marble bar, looking back over the lawns towards the chapel. The Gallery is the reception room, with arched leadlight windows, parquetry floors, a ceiling strung with fairy lights and a dance floor. Long or round tables both work. Every package comes with exclusive use of the estate, a coordinator and an onsite team for the day. Guest numbers top out at 80 for receptions, with a 20-guest minimum for cocktail and feasting weddings and 40 for a full reception. The kitchen is fully licensed and commercial, so all catering and drinks come from the venue. Choose a cocktail reception with canapés and a mezze table, a shared family-style feast, or a three-course plated dinner, then add a house, premium or non-alcoholic drinks collection.

Pricing

Venue hire runs from $3,950 for an off-peak midweek date up to $7,600 for a peak Saturday, and sits on top of your package. The cocktail package is $225 per person for food, the family-style feast is $250 per person, and the full reception is $280 per person, each before drinks.

Reception bookings carry a contracted minimum spend that counts venue hire, package, drinks and extras, starting at $9,000 for an off-peak midweek wedding and rising to $20,000 for a peak Saturday. Ceremony-only bookings have no minimum spend. A $2,000 non-refundable booking fee secures the date and comes off the final invoice.

Food

Every reception starts with three canapés after the ceremony. The cocktail package follows with a mezze table of cured meats, local cheeses, breads, dips and seasonal produce, the feast serves each guest a protein with shared platters of roast vegetables, and the full reception is a plated entrée, main and dessert.

Menus are seasonal and built around local produce, and dietary needs are catered for with notice. Your wedding cake is cut and served on platters.

Beverages

Drinks come from the venue only, with no BYO. The house collection is $65 per guest for four hours or $95 for six, the premium collection is $75 or $115, and a non-alcoholic collection is $40 or $50.

Spirits can be added on consumption, and arrival cocktails, a cocktail cart, a garden drinks cart and champagne towers are available as extras.

Availability

Receptions run Tuesday to Saturday and ceremony-only bookings Tuesday to Friday, with dates taken up to 18 months ahead. Send an enquiry with your preferred date and guest numbers to check availability or arrange a private viewing.
