Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

The Holdfast Hotel on Brighton Road lists wedding receptions among its occasions, centred on the Garden Bar, which can be booked privately for 50 to 180 at a cocktail party. Known locally as The Holdy, it serves food as shared platters, which suits a stand-up reception.

Planning a Holdfast reception:

The Garden Bar is private, and its large screen can run a photo slideshow during the speeches.
A half-room option lowers the hire fee for a shorter guest list.
The semi-private Alfresco area seats 40 or holds 50 standing, with an LCD TV.
The Sunken Lounge takes 30 for drinks.
Spaces start from $500 minimum spend.

Platters each feed 8 to 10 people.
Classic and deluxe platters include sliders, arancini, squid, party pies and mini quiches.
Charcuterie, pizza, fruit and dessert platters fill out the spread.
Drinks can be pay-as-you-go, a tab settled at the end, or part-subsidised by the couple.
