Wedding Reception Venues in Altona

Long tables in white linen with coloured runners and small flowers – that is how Pier 71 Bar e Cucina lays out its dining room for functions, and wedding receptions are among the events the Italian restaurant at 71 Pier St, Altona has hosted.

It suits a couple planning a reception of up to 100 seated guests over an Italian meal, with the option of taking over the whole restaurant so the night belongs to the wedding party alone.

Reception details to weigh up:

• Guest list: a seated reception for as many as 100.
• Exclusivity: the couple can take the entire restaurant, or reserve part of it for a smaller wedding.
• Pre-dinner drinks: the heated, smoke-free rear courtyard suits a gathering before the meal.
• Wedding menu: a set Italian menu or cocktail-style service.
• From the oven: Italian-flour pizza dough, hand-stretched and baked on a stone base.

Pricing isn't published, so the couple works out the menu and cost with the restaurant on enquiry. The same team has hosted engagement parties and christenings, which can make Pier 71 a familiar place for the family's later celebrations.
