A Melbourne wedding reception can still mean a ballroom, and there are several to choose from. Plaza Ballroom under the Regent Theatre takes weddings of 150 to 450 from $240 per person, Vogue Ballroom in Burwood and Manor on High in Epping are built around seated receptions with a dance floor, and The Ballroom @ Leonda By The Yarra in Hawthorn looks over the river with space for 510 at a banquet.
Couples who want something looser have pubs and bars with private spaces. The Bowery Room @ Builders Arms Hotel in Fitzroy and Barkly Room @ The Plough Hotel in Footscray, from $2,000 minimum spend, each hold 100, and Private Dining Room @ The Lincoln in Carlton seats 30 for a very small dinner. Nearer the water, Berth at Docklands, Sandy by the Bay in Sandringham and Brighton Beach Hotel all list water views.
Things to settle before signing a contract:
With the date confirmed, book a wedding car and talk to event florists about the tables.
The Ballroom @ Leonda By The Yarra, Riverland Bar, Left Bank Melbourne and Ludlow Bar & Dining are on the river, Berth is at Docklands, and Brighton Beach Hotel and The Bridge Hotel Mordialloc face the bay.
