Wedding Reception Venues in Docklands

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Saying the vows and celebrating in one building is straightforward in Docklands, where both venues host ceremonies as well as receptions. Berth sits on the harbour at NewQuay, and Quarterhouse rises over three levels at the Melbourne Quarter end of Collins Street.

Ceremony, reception and numbers side by side:

Downstairs then upstairs – couples can hold the ceremony downstairs at Berth and the reception upstairs above Victoria Harbour. From $79 per person.
A seated reception – Berth's room takes up to 80 at long tables or rounds.
Vows on the roof – Quarterhouse can hold the ceremony on the rooftop Sky Park lawn or in The Hall.
A bigger party – The Hall is set up for long tables and a dance floor at weddings, and holds 300 for a cocktail reception. From $40 per person.
Outdoor moments – The Hall has a wraparound terrace over Collins Street, and Berth's balcony looks over the marina.

Berth suits a smaller, seated wedding with water outside, while Quarterhouse handles longer guest lists and a livelier party.

Format: canapés or shared starters on arrival, then shared dining or a formal seated menu.
Hours: evening functions run four hours between 6pm and midnight.
Sound: the in-house audio system plays your own playlist for the first dance.
Access: a lift serves the upstairs room.

Menus: shared or alternate-drop menus of two or three courses for seated guests.
Drinks: packages from two to four hours, a capped bar tab or a cash bar.
