Wedding Reception Venues in Manly

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Bayside couples choosing a Manly reception have a marina boat club and a long-standing village pub to weigh up. The boat club handles larger, more formal weddings, while the pub suits a smaller, casual celebration with friends.

Comparing Manly's two reception venues:

Manly Harbour Boat Club's North Stradbroke Room seats 120 or holds 250 for a standing reception, beside the marina.
Wedding guests at the boat club can use the private pontoons for photos on the water.
The boat club's canape packages start from $27 per person, with buffets and plated menus also available.
The Manly Hotel's set menus start from $59 per person for groups over 20, with shared entrees and alternate-drop mains.
The Manly Hotel's function areas range from 35 to 60 guests, suiting an intimate wedding.

Both venues apply minimum spends to their function spaces, quoted when you enquire.

The North Stradbroke Room is the one space where couples set the layout, from high tables to linen-dressed rounds.
Room hire there includes four hours, a private staffed bar, a projector screen and the house music system.
Plated two or three course menus are served alternately for 30 or more.
Drinks packages run two, three or four hours, with add-ons such as a cocktail on arrival.
