Wedding Reception Venues in Albion

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Two wedding venues sit on Collingwood Street in Albion, a few numbers apart. One is a converted warehouse you fill with your own caterer, the other a French-Basque restaurant that cooks everything in-house.

Comparing Albion's two reception venues:

The Black Brisbane: an indoor hall with exposed beams and rustic timber, opening through pivoting doors onto a courtyard under an arbor.
Its hall and courtyard together hold 250 standing, 150 on casual seating or 100 at a formal dinner, from $6,545 room hire.
Hervé's Restaurant & Bar: six spaces on the first floor, up to The Chalet, which seats 250 or holds 350 standing.
Hervé's stand-up canapé packages start at $50 per person, all cooked in the restaurant's own kitchen.
For a tiny wedding dinner, Hervé's Burgundy Room seats 16 with its own staircase and a view of the city skyline.

The Black Brisbane runs as a coffee bar by day and hands the whole site to private events at night. Its covered courtyard means a wet evening doesn't stop the reception.

The celebration package covers exclusive use from 5pm to 11pm for up to 100 guests.
Furniture, styling pieces, coordination, set-up, pack-down and cleaning are part of that package.
Catering comes from caterers or food trucks the venue recommends.
Firepits can be added to the courtyard in the cooler months.
