Wedding Reception Venues in the Woden Valley

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Couples searching the Woden Valley will find two quite different scales of reception. Phillip has two clubs with halls that seat hundreds, the Hellenic Club of Canberra and Canberra Southern Cross Club Woden, and Curtin has Policy Dining @ The Statesman Hotel, a restaurant reception for 70 to 90.

How the Woden Valley's three reception options compare:

Canberra Southern Cross Club Woden (Phillip): a ballroom for up to 700 seated; receptions from $35 per person.
Hellenic Club of Canberra (Phillip): long tables for up to 570 in its main hall; dinners from $45 per person.
Policy Dining @ The Statesman Hotel in Curtin: 70 to 90 seated around an open kitchen, price on request.
Dance floors: built into the Corinna Ballroom; available as an add-on in the Hellenic Club's Apollo Room.
Overnight guests: the Curtin hotel has more than 60 rooms on site.

A guest list in the hundreds rules out Curtin and points to the Phillip clubs.
A dinner for under 90 can work in Curtin, or in a divided Corinna room or the Hellenic Club's Apollo Room.
The Southern Cross ballroom adds a stage, two bars and a green room for the bridal party.
The Hellenic Club's menus lean Greek, with two dishes alternated each course.

The Hellenic Club's Apollo Room needs at least 50 adults.
Southern Cross receptions are costed per head, 30 heads at the least.
Sunday and public holiday receptions at the Southern Cross club attract a surcharge.
Policy Dining has no listed price, so request a quote from The Statesman Hotel's events contact.

Phillip, where both clubs have halls seating several hundred. Curtin's Policy Dining is a restaurant for 70 to 90.

The Statesman Hotel in Curtin, home of Policy Dining, has more than 60 rooms. The Phillip club listings don't mention accommodation.

The Southern Cross club's Corinna Ballroom has both built in. At the Hellenic Club, a dance floor is an add-on for the Apollo Room.

The two Phillip clubs list from $35 per person (Southern Cross) and from $45 per person (Hellenic). Policy Dining quotes each wedding separately.
