About JDF Receptions

JDF Receptions is a family reception centre on Freebairn Street in Windsor Gardens, in Adelaide's north-east. Its team has cooked for weddings, christenings and corporate events for more than 30 years. The Alto Room is the main hall, seating up to 450 or holding 700 for a canapé event. It has a 6-metre acoustic ceiling, a polished hardwood dance floor, a stage, a bridal room and its own foyer and restrooms. The Maria Pia seats up to 160 banquet-style and can be set with a lounge area of sofas at no extra cost. Above the Alto Room, the Balcony Entertainment Centre has its own bar and takes 70 seated or 170 for canapés, often used for pre-reception drinks or smaller parties. Reception packages include pre-drinks and canapés, six hours of drinks, linen, a dressed bridal and cake table, a security guard, a cordless microphone, a data projector and a lectern. Round tables seat 10 to 12, and long tables can seat up to 42. The menu leans Italian, with antipasto, pasta, grills and seafood, and cocktail menus with grazing tables and canapés. Vegan, vegetarian and other dietary needs are catered for. The venue runs a corkage-free policy, so guests may bring their own spirits or other drinks. There is no hall hire fee when JDF caters, and outside caterers can be used under a separate hall hire package.
