About The Peak

The Peak sits high on the hill above Louttit Bay in Lorne, at the Lorne Country Club on Holliday Road. The outlook takes in the water, the green fairways of the golf course and a backdrop of bush, and that view is what brings couples here for their wedding. Receptions can be held inside or out, and the day can run as a seated dinner or a relaxed standing celebration. Couples who hold the reception here can also use the golf course for the ceremony at no charge, with marquees an option for a dance floor, extra room or wet weather cover. Numbers are capped at 160 for a seated reception and 250 for a standing one, so there is always an indoor fallback. A private seated wedding needs at least 60 guests, and a standing one needs 80. Catering comes from the in-house kitchen through two packages. The Stand Up pairs roving and substantial canapés with bowls and a dessert station, while The Sit Down follows a round of canapés with shared mains and sides, and gluten free and vegan dishes are marked through both menus. Drinks run as five-hour packages built around local tap beer, wine and soft drinks, with upgrades for Champagne or basic spirits. Extras such as a grazing table, a seafood bar, a lolly bar, an ice cream cart and a late-night snack can be added. A $2,000 deposit holds the date, with final numbers due 14 days out and the balance 10 days before. The venue supplies a PA with Bluetooth, a projector screen and a wireless microphone for speeches and background music.

Drinks upgrades add a glass of Veuve Champagne for $20 per person or basic spirits for $25 per person. Children under 12 are charged $20 each, supplier meals are $40 each, and a $2,000 deposit secures the date.

Food

The Stand Up package offers four roving canapés, three substantial canapés and two bowls, finished with a dessert station of petit fours, cakes, tarts and churros. The Sit Down package starts with roving and substantial canapés, then serves two shared mains with two sides and the same dessert station.

Dishes include harissa chicken, barramundi with salsa verde, slow-cooked beef cheeks and lamb shoulder, with gluten free and vegan options marked throughout. A harvest grazing table, seafood bar and a two-hour morning-after brunch can be added.

Beverages

Both drinks packages run for five hours. Package One covers tap beer, a sparkling, white and red wine and soft drinks, while Package Two widens the beer and wine range with more local and imported labels.

Any package can be upgraded with a glass of Veuve Champagne or a basic spirits range, and espresso martinis can be added at $15 each.

Availability

Site inspections are by appointment, and suppliers can get in from midday on the wedding day. Final guest numbers are due 14 days before the event.

Frequently asked questions

How many wedding guests can The Peak hold?

Up to 160 guests for a seated reception and 250 for a standing one, capped so the whole party can move indoors if the weather turns. Private seated weddings need a minimum of 60 guests and standing weddings a minimum of 80.

Can we have the ceremony at The Peak as well?

Yes. When the reception is held at The Peak, the golf course can be used for the ceremony at no extra cost. Marquees make a good wet weather backup, though a marquee on the course carries an extra fee that depends on its size and position.

Can we bring in our own caterer or cake?

Catering is handled only by The Peak's own kitchen, so outside caterers are not used. You are welcome to bring your own wedding cake, and there is no charge to cut and serve it.

What deposit and payment terms apply?

A $2,000 deposit confirms the date. Final guest numbers are due 14 days before the wedding and the full balance 10 days before. The deposit is refunded if you cancel up to six months ahead; after that it is forfeited.

Is the sound system set up for dancing?

The in-house PA has Bluetooth, a projector screen and a wireless microphone, which suits speeches and background music. It is not designed for loud dance music, so talk through your entertainment plans with the team when booking.
