Wedding Reception Venues in Hamilton

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Hamilton has two reception venues on the Brisbane River, one a pub that has traded since 1865, the other a seafood restaurant at Portside Wharf. Both can host a seated dinner or a stand-up party.

What each Hamilton venue brings to a wedding:

The H Lounge at the Hamilton Hotel fills the top floor, with river views, gold booths, three raised stages and a disco ball.
The H Lounge holds 700 standing or 150 seated, and it can be partitioned for a smaller reception.
Two-course function dinners at the Hamilton Hotel start at $75 per person for 30 or more.
Fosh's events space beside the water holds 150 for a sit-down meal or a cocktail-style party.
Fosh's seafood is line caught and reaches the plate within a day.

The Hamilton Hotel sits where Racecourse Road meets Kingsford Smith Drive, with free parking on site. Fosh is on Hercules Street, with CityCat services to Bretts Wharf.

The River Room on the first floor is self-contained, with its own bar, bathrooms, projector and screen.
Both upstairs rooms are reached by stairs only, worth noting for older guests.
The downstairs Marquee and Deck takes 80 standing among greenery, without amplified music.
Social functions run on a five-hour event period.
