Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Two seafront hotels a few suburbs apart cover wedding receptions in Port & Semaphore: the Largs Pier Hotel at Largs Bay and The Palais Hotel at Semaphore. Guest numbers decide most of it, since one seats up to 100 and the other around 180.

Largs Bay or Semaphore for the reception:

  • The Largs Pier Hotel's Pier Restaurant and deck seat 80 to 100, with an open fireplace and French doors between them.
  • Largs Pier also offers help beyond the room: styling, photos, entertainment and somewhere for the vows.
  • The Ballroom @ The Palais Hotel seats around 180 guests on the main floor, plus a mezzanine, or 300 standing.
  • The Palais balcony takes about 100 and suits a ceremony or arrival drinks over the water.
  • Group menus run from $48 per person at Largs Pier, and catering from $30 per person at The Palais.

Questions to put to both hotels

  • What the wet-weather plan is for a ceremony outdoors.
  • How wedding menus are priced against the group menus.
  • How long the reception can run, given The Palais' usual five-hour functions.
