Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Southport's reception venues are both big clubs, but one feels like a ballroom and the other like a garden party above a fairway. Sharks Events Centre has a set of rooms and an open-air lawn with a gazebo. Southport Golf Club, founded in 1924, looks over the 18th green among old gums and palms.

Couples can compare the pair on these points:

  • Top capacity: Sharks Events Centre's President's Room seats 650 at a banquet, and Southport Golf Club's full clubhouse seats about 220.
  • Smaller receptions: the golf club's Poinciana Room seats 50 to 60; the Ashcroft Room at Sharks breaks into sections of 20 to 50.
  • Outdoors: The Village Green lawn at Sharks, or the open-air Terrace at the golf club.
  • Stay on site: Mantra at Sharks offers rooms close to the function spaces.
  • Cost guide: the golf club is from $38 per person for canapés; Sharks has no published price, so ask for a quote.
