Weddings in the chapel by the lake are immensely romantic. This original stone chapel lies only 15 minutes’ drive from Queenstown and will captivate you with its panoramic view of Lake Hayes and the surrounding hills. The chapel is set in 5 hectares of beautiful water gardens and vineyards, including ponds, waterfalls and the stone ruins of the Mayne hotel, whose history reaches back to 1857.

The stunning view from inside the church and from its immediate surroundings will give your photographer a superb backdrop for your perfect wedding photographs. For those who want to experience the sheer height of the surrounding mountains at first hand, a short helicopter flight will provide a beautiful and unusual wedding experience. The chapel is part of the Stoneridge grounds and is easily reached on foot from Stoneridge Lodge. Many couples who choose the chapel by the lake for their wedding ceremony are glad to stay on afterwards for their honeymoon at Stoneridge Lodge.
