Reception Venues
The most important part of your wedding is the ceremony – after all, it’s the reason everyone is getting together to spend the day with you. However, where to have your reception is also a big decision; for some couples it’s in a different location than the ceremony, while for others both happen at the same place. Whatever you decide to do, it’s important to book early and confirm your date, especially during the peak summer season. On the Mornington Peninsula our sheer variety of locations, from rustic wineries to idyllic beachside properties, leaves you spoilt for choice. There are spaces for large sit down weddings with all the trimmings, while others are perfectly suited to intimate affairs for a select few. Some even have accommodation attached, allowing you a private space to retire to at the end of a long and emotional day.
Seating arrangements depend on the type of wedding you’re having – at a seated dinner, each guest has an assigned chair, whereas cocktail weddings can mean guests spend time on their feet, so it’s courteous to ensure there’s enough seating available – either informal groupings of chairs or even lounge areas using cushions and vintage sofas for a funky eclectic feel. Also, remember to match your guest list to your venue - occupancy numbers are determined by fire regulations so ‘squeezing in’ a few more just won’t be possible in most instances.
Summer is a great time to get married, but there are benefits to be had by booking your wedding during the cooler months. It’s usually easier to get your chosen venue and often deals are available for booking off-season – speak to your venue and see what they can do for you.
However you decide to celebrate your day, our friendly local businesses will work with you to ensure every detail is perfect. Combine top quality local produce, excellent service and beautiful spaces and you’ll create a wedding as individual as you are.
