Love Looks Like Us: Why Faithwood Chapel is the First Choice for LGBTQIA+ Weddings in Adelaide

Because love stories come in every shape, shade, and stardust configuration

When Australia said “Yes” to marriage equality, it wasn’t just a political win - it was a deeply personal one. Since then, more than 30,000 same-gender couples have legally wed, with female–female weddings leading the charge at over 2,600 per year. And while progress has been made, finding a wedding venue that truly celebrates queer love - not just tolerates it - is still a sacred quest.

Faithwood Chapel was born from love - and built to honour it in all its forms.

Owned and run by a lesbian couple who have lived and loved through the journey firsthand, our little white chapel was always going to be more than just a venue. It’s a home for stories like yours.

Not just inclusive - intentional

From the start, we designed Faithwood to feel like the warm hug the world sometimes forgets to give. You’ll find:

  • No gendered language in our ceremonies unless requested

  • Celebrants who honour and respect pronouns, identities, and chosen families

  • A space where all expressions of love are safe, valid, and celebrated

  • A team who knows what it means to build family on your own terms

Because being “welcoming” is not enough. We exist for you - not despite you.

Representation is romantic

Our imagery, our styling, our social feeds - they’re filled with real couples because that’s who we’re privileged to marry. Two brides. Two grooms. No labels. Mixed labels. All labels. Trans, non-binary, fluid. Love has no blueprint here - just beauty.

When you choose Faithwood, you’re not just finding a venue. You’re joining a legacy of bold, tender, deeply-in-love humans who dared to do it their way.

Elopement or celebration, it’s yours

Whether you’re coming out and coming together for the first time, getting married before your engagement party, or honouring your love story in secret - we hold it all with care.

Faithwood is perfect for:

  • Secret weddings before public celebrations

  • Micro weddings for chosen family

  • Vow renewals and anniversary elopements

  • Legals-only ceremonies with soul

And if you want to wear a Chewbacca mask or walk down the aisle to Robyn, we’re here for that too.

You are not a marketing checkbox. You are the reason we exist.

In a world where representation can feel performative, Faithwood is a space where queer love is the default - not the exception.

Book your wedding with a team who gets it. Who honours it. Who lives it.

Because love looks like us. And we’ve saved you a seat.
