Wedding Reception Venues in Cremorne

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Both Cremorne reception venues are converted warehouses, each hired out whole for the day. The Palms Cremorne is a private event space with a fireplace lounge and an outdoor deck, while Lilac Wine at 31 Stephenson Street is a wine bar that cooks over a wood fire.

Seated numbers tend to decide it: 90 at The Palms Cremorne, 75 at Lilac Wine. For a cocktail-style reception, the two hold 160 and 120 standing.

How the wedding day plays out in each:

The ceremony itself: Lilac Wine hosts small ceremonies as well as receptions, and The Palms Cremorne can set theatre-style seating on request
Arrival drinks: the outdoor deck behind The Palms Cremorne, while the bridal party finishes photos
The wedding dinner: from $75 per person for Lilac Wine's chef's menu built around the fire, while The Palms Cremorne brings in caterers for sit-down menus
Speeches: The Palms Cremorne's wireless microphone, projector and screen handle toasts and a photo slideshow
The first dance: the DJ booth and dimmable pendant lights at The Palms Cremorne, or DJs and cocktails at Lilac Wine

The Palms Cremorne's team can connect couples with photographers, stylists and cake makers. Lilac Wine offers a vegan menu alongside its chef's menu.

Velvet banquettes and dark green walls give the reception a dressed-up feel before any styling goes in.
A fireplace lounge gives older guests a quieter corner away from the dance floor.
Couples can bring their own caterer once the venue approves, or choose canapés, buffets or wood-fired pizza through its list.
Guests driving in will find on-street parking freer after hours and on weekends, and public transport runs nearby.

Cocktails and wine keep the bar busy once the plates are cleared.
Lilac Wine's semi-private area takes 15 to 24, which suits a rehearsal dinner.
