Why we love The Green Cathedral, Pacific Palms

Surrounded by towering palms and overlooking Wallis Lake, it’s a natural open-air chapel like no other. As photographers, we love how the filtered light through the trees creates an ethereal atmosphere, making every vow exchange feel magical and serene.

About The Green Cathedral

The Green Cathedral is an open-air chapel at Tiona, on the shores of Wallis Lake at Pacific Palms. Wooden pews sit under a canopy of palms with the lake beyond. It is one of the most unusual and peaceful ceremony spots on the coast.

Ceremony and reception

It is a ceremony location. For the reception, Palms Pavilion is less than 50 metres away, so guests walk straight from one to the other. Contact The Green Cathedral directly about bookings and guest numbers.

Photo spots we look for

Dappled light through the palms, the aisle between the pews, and the lake’s edge for portraits afterwards. Demi & Kyle and Sara & Stephen both married here.

"We always felt like we were in such good hands."

We honestly couldn’t recommend Chris, Jacob, Casey and the entire Bedroom Studios team enough! … Casey was amazing throughout the entire lead-up to our wedding. … Then, on the day, Chris and Jacob were absolutely incredible. They were so professional, fun, relaxed and easy-going, and made us feel completely comfortable from start to finish…

We absolutely adore our preview pictures and cannot wait to see our full album already. They absolutely nailed the brief and matched the vibe we were going for incredibly well. Super talented and easy to deal with from the get-go. Casey is wonderful to deal with and makes everything super easy and seamless.
