Antique French wrought-iron gates are your first glimpse of AnnaBella when you arrive

The Chapel was purpose-built and has ample parking  for all of your guests

Inside there are some stand-out features that mustn’t be overlooked, such as the 100-year-old pews and antique Chinese altar

Bringing the outside-in with loads of lights streaming through the many windows. Makes for beautiful, light images every time

The Chapel and the expansive property it rests upon is booked for your exclusive use

Have your own “The Notebook” moment in the pond!

The property is available for your photographic use and is home to some pretty cattle and wildlife

Don’t worry, we can’t get enough of AnnaBella either. So here is her very own website to tell you more.

The post Venue Review: AnnaBella The Wedding Chapel appeared first on The Bride's Tree.

Novotel Twin Waters Resort is a place where you can really hold a fantastic shindig. The first thing we love about it is that you can really have all of these things in one place. Get married by the lagoon, have photos on the beach and enjoy delicious cuisine in the reception venue of your choice. All of the resort's packages are customisable to your preferences, and there are several pricing options, so you can make choices to suit your budget. This kind of flexibility really interests us at The Bride's Tree, because we find it absolutely brilliant when Sunshine Coast brides on a budget can still have the wedding of their dreams in their dream location without compromising too severely. Everyone deserves their one perfect day!

When you choose a wedding location like Novotel Twin Waters Resort, the wedding packages they have really make life easy, and it's all because of the professionals involved in coordinating your wedding from start to finish. The coordinators work closely with you throughout every choice in the planning process, organising your food, seating, and of course how everything will run on the day itself. What a relief to know experienced people, who do this wedding caper all the time, and know exactly what they are doing! The Novotel's wedding packages also give you the option of having Sunshine Coast wedding decorators, Beedazzled Events, put their midas touch on your ceremony and reception styling.

The ceremony location options are up for the choosing around the sandy beaches and tranquil gardens surrounding the exclusive salt water lagoon. You can have your bridal party photos on the gorgeous and secluded local beaches, followed by a reception at the award-winning Lily's on the Lagoon restaurant with its over water location or one of the other gorgeous locations, like a moonlit formal dinner on the beach. The best part is, at the end of your night of celebrating, you haven't got far to travel to hit your pillow… or something *wink*.

You can have a little looksee at the resort this coming weekend at the Sunshine Coast Bridal Showcase, because that's where it will be! We will be there, too, and we would love to see all of you lovely Sunshine Coast brides there. More details on the Showcase below, but in the meantime, have a look at just how stunningly gorgeous your wedding at Novotel Twin Waters Resort could be in these WOW images by Karen Buckle Photography.

AnnaBella The Wedding Chapel is not only prettily named, it is an absolutely beautiful building set on a stunning country property. It is the idyllic intimate venue for your wedding ceremony with the best of both worlds for your wedding day in mind.  

As you drive down the long tree-lined drive to the Anna Bella Chapel, passing luscious paddocks, pretty gardens and lily pads in ponds along the way, you will feel as though you have entered another world. Beautifully manicured lawns with lovingly tendered gardens provide countless opportunities for stunning photo on your special day.

The white chapel itself is lined either side with large arch windows, providing beautiful light, shining in on the gorgeous, tasteful interior complete with vintage wooden pews to seat guests. Stylishly designed, the Chapel is brand new, with a genuine vintage chapel feel in mind.

The modern-meets-vintage feel today’s brides love is right here on the Sunshine Coast, and is an easily accessible alternative to the church wedding. 

Meeting its owner and operator, Judy, is an absolute essential if you are looking for a ceremony venue.
