Wedding Reception Venues



Reception Venues Sure to Impress

On Land

There are loads of wonderful banquet halls Australia-wide that would make great wedding reception venues but for the absolute best in Melbourne you have to view the sister centres, Quat Quatta, Nine Darling Street and The International of Brighton. Each venue is renowned for its architecturally stunning buildings, gorgeous gardens and sumptuous food – so much so that the three venues have won more wedding industry awards than any other venue. Visit their website for an absolutely unforgettable event.

On Water

For wedding receptions with a difference, why not organise a cruise? Whether you’re after a classic vessel with gleaming brass and rich timberwork such as Melbourne’s Melbourne Showboat, or more of a modern party boat such as Sydney’s Silver Spirit Cruises, a nautical wedding venue cruising Australia’s gorgeous waterways will be a truly memorable occasion.

Over Water

Anyone can hold a wedding reception by the water but few brides can boast hosting one over the water. Aqua is a modern, chic restaurant suspended above the historic North Sydney Olympic Pool. With breathtaking, panoramic views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, it’s a sensational place guaranteed to make any jaw drop. A finalist in the 2005 ‘Wedding in a Restaurant’ NSW Restaurant and Catering Awards, Aqua’s exquisite menu and wonderful ambience will have your guests talking about your event well into your first wedding anniversary.

On Home Ground

A marquee is the perfect setting for summer wedding receptions. Airy, roomy and easily erected in a garden, they are the ideal set-up for home events. Many marquee rental companies also offer to decorate, supply tables, chairs, toilet facilities and to lay a dance floor down too - taking a lot of the stress out of organisation for you.
