WEDDINGS in the Chapel
Click here for some of the weddings held in the Chapel in 2010- 2011

The Chapel Society - Founded in 1983

The first bride in the Chapel, Sue Burns, (daughter of Mary (Horsley) and Dr Harding Burns) and her husband, Stephen Bowers, celebrated their Silver anniversary on 7th May, 2008.

Over 500 weddings have now taken place and while each one is quite different, every one is full of happiness. The candles are lit, the flowers are in place, and the music soars in the splendid acoustics. And the 1890 Puget organ, restored in France between 2005-2009 is heard once again and will feature at many more weddings in the years to come.

There is a pipe in the Puget organ dedicated to all brides. A façade pipe is dedicated to the previous wedding supervisor, Mrs Brenda Carmody, and donations for that pipe have come from many brides in memory of their wedding day.

Wedding Guidelines

The Chapel Wedding guidelines have been revised and weddings are available for siblings, children and grand-children of alumnae/i.
Wedding bookings are made with Mrs Rosalind Mansell at the School on 9388-6140 or
email: events@krb.nsw.edu.au, and a member of The Chapel Society attends every wedding to greet guests, together with Wedding Supervisor, Mrs Barbara Buhagiar, who takes the rehearsal in the Chapel a few days before the event.

Many guests are seeing the Chapel for the first time and we ensure they receive a copy of the history of both the Chapel and the Puget organ. Overseas guests especially appreciate this.
