Wedding Reception Venues in Yarraville

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Neither of Yarraville's reception options is a formal ballroom: one is an 1873 pub with two private function rooms, the other a plant-filled restaurant bar with a recording studio upstairs.

Both suit couples planning a relaxed reception of 50 to 120 people, with food from their own kitchens and a bar to themselves.

Comparing the two for the big day:

Seated numbers: the Victoria Room at The Victoria Hotel seats 90, the hotel's Hyde Room 60, and Main Bar Room @ Mantra Studio Kitchen & Bar 50 at a banquet.
A cocktail reception: both rooms at the pub hold up to 120 standing, against 70 in Mantra's Main Bar Room.
Photos: Mantra's antique carved Elephant Doors, planted courtyard and two-storey vertical garden give couples plenty of backdrops.
Speeches: the Hyde Room has a wireless microphone and ceiling-mounted screens, and the Victoria Room has audio-visual equipment.
The menu: the pub's canapés start from $37 per person, with share-style and alternate-drop set menus for 20 or more, while Mantra's kitchen cooks Pan Asian fusion alongside modern plates.

The Victoria Hotel charges no cakeage, so the wedding cake adds nothing to the bill. Mantra's catering team works through canapés, menus and the style of service with each couple.

Arrival: the Hyde Room has a private entrance and an adjoining terrace over Hyde Street.
Daylight: four overhead skylights light the Victoria Room, which has its own bar and bathrooms.
Music: live music is part of Mantra's regular program, and its room has a fully stocked bar and cocktail list.
Comfort: both venues are air-conditioned and wheelchair accessible.

Drinks and cost

Drinks packages: The Victoria Hotel's start from two hours, or set up a bar tab or a cash bar.
Canapé ranges: the pub's packages run from six to ten choices, with platters, grazing tables and dessert stations available.
Mantra's pricing: there is no set price on the listing, so send an enquiry with your date, numbers and preferred space.
A bigger wedding: Mantra can be hired in full, beyond the Main Bar Room.
