An anniversary party usually starts with one decision about scale: a long dinner for the people who were there on the day, or a full room with the original guest list back together. Newcastle handles both. The Flotilla in Wickham seats 40 around its open kitchen, with a private room called Vecina for 24 and set menus From $95 per person. On the Honeysuckle waterfront, Casa Nova Honeysuckle serves two courses From $45.90 per person in rooms holding up to 200.
For the bigger version, Customs House Hotel puts 120 seated in its Customs Hall beside a marble fireplace, The Del Hotel on Darby Street has a Level 1 space with a private bar for 150 seated, and The South East View at Belmont 16s Sailing Club seats 230 over Belmont Bay with a white marble dance floor.
Some couples head back to the water. William The Fourth Cruises charters a replica paddle steamer on Newcastle Harbour for up to 54, All Event Cruises seats 250 across two licensed levels on Calmer, and Silver Sun Sailing takes a small group aboard a 40-foot Beneteau on Lake Macquarie for a sunset sail with canapes.
