Wedding Reception Venues in Belmont

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Saying your vows over the water and walking a few steps to dinner is possible in Belmont. At The South East View @ Belmont 16s Sailing Club, the covered terraces double as a ceremony spot above the lake, roofed against rain, and the first-floor room behind them seats 120 to 230 for the reception.

TINTA Belmont suits a smaller wedding: the whole lakefront restaurant to yourselves, guests along long communal tables and the sun setting over Lake Macquarie beyond the deck.

How the two Belmont receptions compare:

Seated numbers – 120 to 230 when the club room is opened up; TINTA caps a seated wedding at 100, or 80 with a dance floor.
Ceremony on site – the club's terraces face the water and keep the weather off.
Wedding packages – at the club, five hours of room hire, canapés or a three-course alternate serve, your cake cut into petit fours, and four hours of drinks.
Speeches and toasts – TINTA supplies a microphone, lectern and house PA; the club room has a private bar and a white marble dance floor for the first dance.
Arrivals by boat – the couple can step off a boat or seaplane at the club's private jetty.

Celebration pricing in the club room starts from $79 per person, while TINTA's canapé packages start from $39 per person, so both sit within reach of a mid-sized budget.

No transfers – at the sailing club, guests go from the terrace vows to drinks at the cocktail bar beside the room, then sit down for dinner.
Musicians and DJs – couples can bring their own band or DJ to the club.
Golden-hour reception – TINTA's dining room and deck catch the sunset over the lake.
Cocktail-style weddings – 350 standing at the club; at TINTA, 120 inside or about 150 using the outdoor areas.
