Wedding Reception Venues in Red Hill South

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Both reception venues in Red Hill South sit on Shoreham Road, and guest numbers largely decide between them. The Epicurean Red Hill hosts larger weddings in a restored 1921 coolstore, while Montalto suits a reception of 90 or fewer at the table.

Each has its own people to plan the day with you: a dedicated wedding team at The Epicurean Red Hill, and the functions team at Montalto.

Weighing up the pair:

Scale – The Shed at The Epicurean Red Hill takes 100 to 220 guests, while Montalto tops out at 90 for dinner or 130 for canapés and drinks
The room – The Shed is about a thousand square metres of concrete, timber, steel and stone, fitted out by Hecker Guthrie; Montalto's Restaurant has floor-to-ceiling windows onto vines, gardens and sculptures
Exclusivity – The Shed is booked for exclusive use, so no other event shares the coolstore's main space on your day
Smaller weddings – The Epicurean Red Hill moves them into its other rooms, and Montalto offers a Private Dining Room for 30 with a deck of its own
Budget – Montalto is listed from a $1,000 minimum spend, and The Epicurean Red Hill prices The Shed on application

Send an enquiry to either venue with your date and numbers; The Epicurean Red Hill replies with its wedding brochure.
