Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

White walls, decorative ceilings and an ornate private bar give The White Room @ The Aviary Hotel a blank canvas for a wedding. The room sits on the first floor of the pub at 271 Victoria St, Abbotsford, and its neutral fit-out leaves plenty of room for your own styling.

It suits a small reception: 40 at seated tables, or 80 for a cocktail-style celebration.

How the reception can come together:

Seated dinner: shared two or three course set menus for groups of 15 or more
Cocktail style: canapé packages of four to six pieces, from $30 per person, plus grazing platters
Drinks: a timed package of house or premium wines and tap beer, with spritzes on arrival as an add-on
