Wedding Reception Venues in Flinders

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Couples marrying near Western Port can hold their reception in the Peninsula Room @ Flinders Hotel, the function room of a heritage pub in the village of Flinders. Up to 120 guests sit down to dinner, and 200 can gather for a cocktail-style reception.

The room is separate from the pub's public bars, with its own bar, soundproofing and AV for the speeches.

How the Peninsula Room handles a wedding:

Seated dinner – a banquet setup for up to 120, with set menus of two or three courses.
Cocktail reception – space for 200 standing, with canapé packages from $40 per person.
Speeches and a slideshow – modern AV and presentation facilities are part of the room.
Dietary needs covered – vegetarian, vegan and low-gluten choices sit within the set menus.
A smaller wedding – the room can be divided, so an intimate reception of 30 to 40 doesn't feel lost.

The hotel counts weddings and engagements among the occasions it hosts, so send an enquiry to check your date.

Set menu: two or three courses served at the table.
Beverages: Standard, Premium and Deluxe packages over two, three or four hours.
