Wedding Reception Venues in Leura

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Leura gives couples two quite different reception styles: a cocktail bar in a historic house at the top of Leura Mall, and a golf clubhouse on the ridges above the Jamison Valley. Elysian is listed for weddings only, while Leura Golf Club hosts weddings and corporate functions.

Comparing the two Leura reception venues:

Elysian: larger parties can have the dining room, atrium, bar and garden to themselves, moving from a garden gathering to a reception and first dance inside.
Leura Golf Club: the clubhouse event space seats up to 120 for lunch or dinner, laid out as formal long tables or something more relaxed.
Food at Elysian: every guest shares the Feed Me set menu, or bar snacks can stand in for a looser cocktail-style event.
Dancing at the golf club: there is space for a dance floor and live music, with the club bar close at hand.
Outdoor moments: Elysian's garden looks across Leura towards the valley, and the club patio faces the fairways.

Elysian is adults-focused with no children's menu, so the golf club is the easier fit when young guests are invited.

Elysian asks for a 50% non-refundable deposit, with final numbers due three weeks out.
Seating at Elysian runs for two and a half hours unless arranged beforehand.
Drinks at Elysian run on a bar tab from its cocktail and wine list, with a minimum for groups of 20 or more.
Parking is free at Leura Golf Club for guests using the club, restaurant and bar.
