Venues & Catering

Discover the serenity of our Clifton Hill location, featuring our intimate Chapel that can comfortably accommodate up to 70 guests. Housed within a historic and picturesque structure, this venue is adorned with enchanting natural light. Additionally, a peaceful garden graces the rear of our establishment, providing a serene retreat for moments of reflection, fresh air, or even an outdoor ceremony. We also work with many local locations and venues to ensure the service embodies everything you or your loved ones are after.

Our Chapel

This beautiful old building is steeped in history and boasts a timeless charm that will envelop you as soon as you enter. Its architectural grace allows for an abundance of natural light to permeate the space, creating an atmosphere of serenity and tranquility. We understand the importance of a serene and dignified setting during moments of reflection, and our Chapel is designed to provide just that.

At Lonergan and Ravens, we also cherish the connection between nature and the human spirit. To honor this connection, we've curated a peaceful garden at the rear of our establishment. This enchanting garden offers a gentle change of scene, allowing you and your guests to step outside for a breath of fresh air or to partake in a heartfelt outdoor ceremony. Surrounded by the soothing embrace of nature, you can find solace and connect with the beauty of life even in the midst of sorrow.
