Description
Introducing White Chapel Kalbar, a bespoke wedding venue just an hour from Brisbane in the heart of the beautiful Scenic Rim region. A premier and award winning wedding destination, this trophy asset is a unique combination of historic charm and high-end facilities, delivering the ultimate in customised wedding experiences. This is an unparalleled opportunity for both new entrants to the industry and experienced operators and hospitality groups looking to add assets to their portfolio. Just six years since its inception, White Chapel Kalbar has quickly become a leader in the Australian wedding industry earning multiple prestigious awards, including being named Queensland's No. 1 Wedding Ceremony and Reception Venue. The meticulously transformed 140 year old chapel with its graceful design and landscaped surrounds can comfortably accommodate up to 85 guests for intimate celebrations. Complementing it is Black Hall, a sophisticated reception venue designed to elevate the post-ceremony experience surrounded by gorgeous gardens with a central fountain and a serene pagoda. The property also offers the rustic Barn Bar, a stylish setting for pre-reception drinks and a large manicured lawn, known as The Grounds, provides an ideal space for larger outdoor gatherings. A short walk from the chapel lies Herrmann House, a 4.5-star-rated luxury accommodation homestead. This impeccably restored building offers a romantic first-night retreat for newlyweds. Herrmann House, too, has earned acclaim, including being ranked in Australia's Top 3 Honeymoon Venues. Set within the picturesque and historic town of Kalbar, this 4000 sqm estate delivers breath-taking views of surrounding farmland and the Great Dividing Range. Its close proximity to Brisbane and the Gold Coast makes it a highly sought-after wedding destination, with couples drawn to the region's world-class food, wine and scenic beauty. Beyond its charming appeal and well-deserved accolades, White Chapel Kalbar holds 60-70 events annually and has considerable advance bookings in years ahead. The business also boasts a full-service offering, Barn Bar reception venue, large landscaped grounds including a wedding pagoda for memorable photography on the day, a vintage 1948 Bentley for bridal transportation and a 24-seat bus for seamless guest transfers. White Chapel Kalbar presents excellent development potential (STCA), with the opportunity to install a permanent structure, such as a marquee, on the expansive lawn area. This addition could increase capacity to 120 guests, addressing current demand where many inquiries are turned away due to the 75-seat limit at Black Hall. Herrmann House also offers room for expansion, with the possibility of adding new accommodation cottages to serve more than 4 couples, capitalizing on both wedding guests and tourism. Owner-occupied and managed, White Chapel Kalbar is operated with a skilled and experienced team incorporating a Sales Manager/Wedding Coordinator, Venue Manager and Social Media Manager. Poised for growth, this business is a rare opportunity to own and grow one of Australia's most acclaimed wedding estates. The potential for further development in corporate functions, business retreats, and expanded service offerings, including catering and funeral services, make this a truly versatile investment. This highly awarded, picture-perfect venue awaits its next visionary owner-an opportunity not to be missed! Further information and specific asset details available on request
