Wedding Reception Venues in Brisbane's CBD & Fortitude Valley

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

This is the busiest part of Brisbane for wedding venues, with 19 listed across the CBD, the Valley, New Farm, Newstead and Teneriffe. The split is roughly heritage rooms and river views in the city, warehouses and rooftops in the Valley, and riverside or industrial rooms to the east.

How the region's reception venues group by area:

CBD heritage: Club Felix fills the first floor of Naldham House, and The Little Laneway runs two levels off Burnett Lane.
CBD river and sky: the Howard Smith Wharves pair of Bougainvillea House and Rivershed face the Story Bridge, and The Grove Rooftop sits on level 32.
Valley big rooms: Rose Room @ Cloudland takes 700 and MIRRA 350, while MAYA Mexican's rooftop buyout reaches 250.
Valley small rooms: Loyal Hope and The Fitzgerald each hold about 100, and Havana @ Summa House takes 50 over two levels.
East of the Valley: The Officers Mess on the New Farm river, The Bethnal's barrel room in Newstead and Dalgety Public House in Teneriffe.

EC Venue rounds out the Valley list with a split-level warehouse from a $1,200 minimum spend, and The Station Brisbane is a BYO warehouse room for 100. In the CBD, Patch eSpace starts at $650 room hire and Blackbird looks over the river from Eagle Street.
