Auberge Discovery Bay Unveils Hong Kong's First Seaside Chapel

Opening 12-12-2012, the first 12 Couples to Wed at the ‘White Chapel’ Receive an Exclusive Honeymoon Package Valued at Over HK$5,000 
 
From December 12 2012, Auberge Discovery Bay Hong Kong will be the destination of choice for wedding planners and brides-to-be.  On 12-12-2012, the deluxe 325-room Discovery Bay resort on Lantau Island will open its stunning ‘White Chapel’, Hong Kong’s first seaside chapel.
 
Featuring oceanfront views and surrounded by tree-lined mountains, Auberge Discovery Bay’s White Chapel can accommodate up to 100 guests for a wedding ceremony. Exuding elegance and charm, the stylish sanctuary presents couples with an idyllic setting and a striking backdrop for photo opportunities.
 
To mark the White Chapel’s opening, Auberge Discovery Bay will welcome the first 12 couples with a free Honeymoon Package valued at HK$5,500. The offer includes one-night accommodation in one of Auberge Discovery Bay’s stylish rooms, plus in-room supper and a complimentary buffet breakfast.
   
Creatively designed by Simon Kwan & Associates Ltd. the White Chapel takes full advantage of the picture-perfect location. The Chapel’s floor-to-ceiling windows and South-facing position allow natural sunlight to fill the space while providing panoramic ocean views.  
 
Destined to be a Discovery Bay landmark, the White Chapel stands as a gleaming silhouette against the lush greenery and natural landscape. With its sharply peaked roof and triangular exterior, the White Chapel’s design reflects elements of a traditional chapel, while conveying a contemporary sleekness.  
 
Evoking the sense of traditional romance, a horse-drawn carriage is also available to transport couples to their wedding ceremony. 
 
The White Chapel wedding packages start from HK$12,888. This all-inclusive price covers one-hour use of the Chapel, the services of an expert wedding planner, an exclusive Bridal Gift, access to the Bridal Room, a wedding certificate and mock wedding cake as well as use of the Chapel’s audio system.  
 
Auberge Discovery Bay’s White Chapel is just one of the unique wedding experiences on offer at the premium resort.  As couples embark on their journey together as husband and wife, they can celebrate their union aboard one of Auberge Discovery Bay’s seafaring vessels.  
 
The Bounty, Hong Kong’s only tall ship, can sail the high seas with up to 60 guests onboard. Majestic and magical, graceful and glamorous, as couples set off on their journey together as husband and wife, they can set sail on an adventure guided by the stars. For larger groups, a high-speed catamaran can transport up to 500 passengers. Both The Bounty and the catamaran can ferry guests between Auberge Discovery Bay and Central.  
 
Auberge Discovery Bay’s fleet also includes the Discovery Seafari, a glass-enclosed boat that allows guests to appreciate Lantau Island’s natural beauty from an all-new perspective. With its unique glass-encased design, guests can enjoy the all-encompassing views from inside the vessel. Couples can exchange vows while cruising the seas around Discovery Bay then enjoy the post-ceremony celebration aboard the Discovery Seafari.  
 
Auberge Discovery Bay specialises in wedding-day experiences that are unique, intimate and wonderfully romantic. With the opening of the White Chapel on December 12,2012, Hong Kong couples will have the perfect seaside location to say ‘I do’.
