About this space

Chapel, a Church space in The Altar Electric, is a compact ceremonial room defined by Vegas‑inspired, theatrical styling that puts a clear stage at its centre.

Design: The chapel presents bold, saturated wall finishes, a concrete floor and low, intimate proportions that concentrate attention forward. The chapel uses theatrical lighting and a restrained palette to create a dramatic, photo-friendly interior.

Features: The chapel is wheelchair accessible and permits external vendors. The chapel allows bring‑your‑own DJs and welcomes outside celebrants and photographers.

Ideal for: Small groups looking for a relaxed, music-forward seated ceremony or a short standing reception in a compact, theatrical space.

What sets it apart: A permanent curved backdrop and raised semicircular dais provide a built-in focal point for ceremonies and photos.

What guests say: The chapel is easy and low-stress to use because venue staff handle coordination and accommodate personal touches. The chapel produces a fun, relaxed atmosphere that keeps music and guest energy high.

Host rules

The Altar Electric is a Marriage Service conducted by fully registered and authorized Commonwealth Civil Celebrants…known as ‘Marriage Celebrants’. All Celebrants at Altar Electric are selected by The Altar Electric, if you wanted to bring your own Celebrant, you will need to arrange that ahead of time and ask us for permission. Full fees will still apply for this.

We reserve the right to make changes to decor, colors, and fit-outs over time.

We do offer the ability for you to select your choice of Altar Electric Celebrant. However, this may result in a longer waiting time depending on demand.

Whilst we do all we can to cater to all requests, there are some that we will not be able to meet. We will give you full disclosure of these at the time you make the requests. We can’t guarantee all requests will be met.

Once you’ve made your payment, it is final and non-refundable. Only under exceptional circumstances is the fee refunded…we will consider all requests for cancellations on an individual case basis. The following are considered reasons for a refund to be rewarded:
- the unfortunate passing of someone close to you,
- one or both of you have to relocate overseas,
- one of you is involved in an accident,
- you discover you’re super-heroes who no longer require our help…we’ll need to the see the cape as evidence.

We operate inside our liquor license laws, so we do reserve the right to refuse service to drunk and unruly guests.

You will provide at least two witnesses for your wedding…if you can’t make this happen, please pre-arrange this with us at least 2 days before the wedding.

You understand that if you provide any sort of incorrect or false information on your documentation, The Altar Electric is no liable for these errors. Deliberately incorrect or false information provided for wedding documentation is a breach of law under Australian law.

Cancellation policy: Standard 60 day with Grace Period
