Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Scarborough's two reception venues are both on the beach, but one is a surf club room and the other a bar. Sunset Terrace @ Scarboro Surf Life Saving Club runs along the beach side of the clubhouse on The Esplanade behind glass walls, and Scarborough Beach Bar trades from a first-floor space on Manning Street with several function areas.

Guest numbers and privacy at each:

  • The Sunset Terrace holds up to 200, with the exact figure depending on how the room is laid out.
  • Its gallery shows long banquet tables for dinner, lounges and greenery for a looser reception, and themed set-ups.
  • Taking over all of Scarborough Beach Bar gives a 150-guest dinner, or 275 for cocktails.
  • Without exclusive hire, Scarborough Beach Bar's areas are mostly semi-private, shared with the rest of the bar.
  • Scarborough Beach Bar starts From $35 per person, while the surf club's room has no listed price.
