Wedding Reception Venues in the Coal River Valley & Sorell

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Seven wedding venues spread across three localities here, and each locality has its own character. Richmond offers family wineries and a large farm hall, Cambridge gathers bigger estates and a golf club close to the airport, and Sorell has a single orchard property for small weddings.

Start with your guest count, then decide whether you want vines, a bay outlook or a hall you can fill with a band and a dance floor.

How the three localities compare for a reception:

Richmond spans the widest range: Every Man & His Dog Vineyard for relaxed vineyard vows under the gum trees, and Hatcher's Manor, a farm function hall with room for 400 diners.
Caledon Estate, also at Richmond, can sit 40 to 64 for a meal or take as many as 100 for a standing reception, priced from $143 per person with the estate's own wines poured for three hours.
Cambridge suits mid-sized and larger weddings: Frogmore Creek's Barrel Room dines as many as 160, and a marquee on Riversdale Estate's lawn fits 170.
Tasmania Golf Club in Cambridge sits on a headland at Barilla Bay Bluff ringed by water, plus a dance floor and course settings for ceremony photos.
Sorell's Iron Creek Bay Estate keeps things small, with private rooms for 24 to 50 looking over a cherry orchard to Iron Creek Bay.

Most of these venues don't list a wedding price, so expect to ask for a quote or a wedding compendium once you have a date.

Coal River Valley & Sorell Wedding Reception Venues

Frogmore Creek holds ceremonies outdoors on its grounds before guests move into the Barrel Room, warmed by a fireplace and lined with full-height windows.
Every Man & His Dog Vineyard has a rustic arbour for the vows, and its cellar door can be dressed for both the ceremony and the reception if it rains.
Riversdale Estate offers several rooms in one estate: a chandelier-lit restaurant for 130, the Orangery for 55 and the Celestia winery for 45.
Iron Creek Bay Estate sets aside places on its grounds for a ceremony, and guests can stay over in pavilion rooms or pods.

Guest travel and staying over in the valley

With venues spread between Richmond, Cambridge and Sorell, keep the ceremony and reception at one property or book a coach between them.
Caledon Estate has parking for coaches, and Hatcher's Manor offers guest suites on its farm beside the Coal River.
Hire a coach or booked drivers for the end of the night at any of the wineries, since estate wine is part of most packages.
Ask early about dates in the warmer months and during the winter-festival season, when couples tend to plan the furthest ahead.
