Its stunning location allows for a 180 degree panoramic view along Palm Cove beach and out onto the Coral Sea, as well as the surrounding beaches. The all-glass concertina doors to the front and sides allow for an "open air" feel when these doors are fully retracted. Alternately the chapel is fully air-conditioned for comfort when these doors are closed.

The chapel is approximately 70 square meters in size. Our custom made pews allow for seating of up to 40 people, and there is ample standing room within the Chapel for a further 30 people. Also when the concertina doors which surround the Chapel on three sides are fully opened there is further standing room available on the Chapel deck. The maximum number of wedding guests that we can accommodate may vary on the time of the year.

The bride and groom stand on a polished dais made from magnificent north Queensland hardwood. The surrounding altar table and candlabras were all commissioned especially for this chapel. The chapel is complemented by a centre aisle of imported white Italian marble.
