Wedding Reception Venues in Sunshine

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Weddings are Sheldon Reception's core business, with more than 30 years of experience showing in the detail: a glass lift that rises through the Bliss Ballroom floor, a cascading water wall framing the bridal table and full packages that run from canapés to centrepieces. For a smaller, simpler reception, Function Room @ Glengala Hotel on Glengala Road seats 60 to 70 with its own bar and dance floor.

Matching the reception to the venue:

60 to 70 seated: Glengala's Function Room, with a two- or three-course alternate set menu.
70 to 240: Sheldon's Delphinium Room, with an elevated bridal table and its own staircase.
Up to 200: Sheldon Gardens, where vows and reception can share one room.
220 to 600: the Bliss Ballroom, the bigger of Sheldon's two rooms.
Your own suppliers: Sheldon's venue-hire packages allow outside caterers and stylists.

Sheldon's full wedding packages include pre-dinner drinks and hors d'oeuvres, table platters, three courses, supper platters, linen, centrepieces, a styled bridal table and on-the-day management, while Glengala's set menu is $50 per person for two courses (three courses are also offered).

Ceremony first: Sheldon Gardens can host the vows and the reception in one place.
The entrance: the bridal party arrives through the floor in the glass lift or down the staircase in the Bliss Ballroom.
Speeches: Glengala's room has a microphone, projector and screen.
First dance: the Bliss Ballroom is built around a polished dance floor, and Glengala's room has its own.
