An engagement party is usually less formal than the wedding, which opens up more choice. Around the bay that might mean an upstairs balcony above Eastern Beach, a function terrace on Pakington Street, a vineyard lawn on the Bellarine or a marquee in the backyard.
Ways to set the tone:
Keep the guest list in line with what you plan for the wedding, and book transport for any Bellarine venue.

Function terraces and lounges start from $25 per person, and some pubs waive room hire when food is ordered.
Yes. Wineries and a cider house take groups from $40 per person; book a coach or minibus so everyone can enjoy the wine.
With a marquee, a caterer and some furniture hire, yes. Ask the marquee company about wind and add heaters for the evening.
An upstairs restaurant above Eastern Beach has a private bar and balcony, and a Portarlington pasta bar has bay views.
A photo booth, a balloon backdrop and a DJ or music set-up are popular and can be booked separately from the venue.
