Joy at St Peter and St Paul’s

Joy at St Peter and St Paul's is a small heritage chapel built in 1899 and thoughtfully restored as a place for celebrations. While no longer a religious venue, it remains a place to gather, open to anyone wanting to host something meaningful in a beautiful, historic setting.

Alongside the chapel is a amenities barn, offering a simple undercover option if needed, as well as a servery window for food and drinks.

Set on a quiet intersection among the rolling hills of Northern NSW, Joy is a light-filled, peaceful space. Original arched windows, timber floors, and hand-built details give it a warmth that feels both grounded and special, somewhere to slow down, connect, and celebrate.

Joy is located just outside Alstonville, a short drive from Ballina Byron Gateway Airport. Joy is designed for small weddings and intimate ceremonies, and tends to resonate with couples who prefer something simple, personal, and genuine.

Joy is a self-service venue, which means you're free to shape the day in your own way. Venue hire includes exclusive use of the space, seating for up to 50 guests, access to the grounds, and use of the chapel's ambient sound system. Everything else, from your celebrant to styling, is up to you.

They also have a small amount of on-site parking for accessibility needs and event staff.
