Joy at St Peter and St Paul's

Joy at St Peter and St Paul's is an intimate wedding venue set within a beautifully restored heritage listed 1899 chapel in the rolling hills of Northern NSW.

Now a blank canvas for your celebration, Joy at St Peter and St Paul's has been thoughtfully reimagined for couples seeking something simple, meaningful and deeply personal. With original arched windows, timber floors, heritage character and light-filled interiors, the space feels both timeless and welcoming.

Designed exclusively for weddings of up to 50 guests, Joy at St Peter and St Paul's offers a rare opportunity to celebrate in a setting that feels private, relaxed and entirely your own. The chapel is complemented by a beautifully considered amenities barn, a servery for food and drinks catering, landscaped grounds and quiet countryside vistas. Creating a backdrop that is elegant while still being relaxed.

Located just outside Alstonville and a short drive from Ballina Byron Gateway Airport, Joy at St Peter and St Paul's is ideal for intimate weddings, elopements and small gatherings shared with the people who matter most.

As a self-service venue, Joy gives couples the freedom to create a wedding that reflects their own style and priorities. Venue hire includes exclusive use of the property, seating for up to 50 guests, access to the grounds and use of the chapel's ambient sound system. From styling and florals to food and drinks, the rest is yours to shape.

At its heart, Joy is about bringing people together in a beautiful place and creating space for a celebration that feels like your own.

We're Kenny and Heidi, the owners of Joy.

When we first discovered the little 1899 chapel, we could immediately see the beauty and potential hidden within it. What began as a restoration project quickly became a labour of love, driven by a desire to preserve a special piece of local history and create a beautiful place for people to celebrate life's meaningful moments.

Over the years we've carefully restored the chapel, gardens and grounds, always trying to honour the character of the original building while creating a space that feels welcoming, relaxed and timeless.

We're not wedding planners or event managers—we're simply people who appreciate thoughtful design, genuine hospitality and the importance of gathering with the people you love. Our hope is that every couple who celebrates at Joy feels the same sense of warmth and connection that drew us to the chapel in the first place.

We'd be honoured to be a small part of your story.
