How to Plan a Port Stephens Engagement Party

An engagement party in Port Stephens is often the first time both families share a room, so pick a setting where people can mingle. A cocktail evening at a beach café or on a rooftop keeps conversation moving, while a golf club dinner suits families who like a seat and a proper meal.

Plenty of couples also use the night to try out a photographer, a DJ or a caterer they might book for the wedding.

Places couples choose for the celebration:

  • A café perched above Birubi Beach, hired whole for the evening with canapés from $50 per person and sunset over the Worimi dunes
  • A clubhouse at Nelson Bay with a balcony looking to Tomaree Head and set lunches from $33 per person
  • A Medowie golf club room among the gums, with canapé packages from $20 per person for a stand-up crowd
  • A pub rooftop beside the river at Raymond Terrace, with a $2,500 minimum spend for up to 80
  • A garden retreat at One Mile from $1,100 room hire, where close family can stay in the cabins
  • A bowling club at Soldiers Point or Raymond Terrace for a large seated dinner with a stage for the toasts

Trying suppliers before the wedding

  • Photographers quote from $1,990 and $1,999, and an engagement shoot is a low-stakes way to meet them
  • Garden-style florists work to a $2,500 minimum spend, so they suit a party that doubles as a styling trial
  • A DJ who also MCs can handle the family introductions and the toasts
  • Mobile chefs bring canapés or shared banquets to a garden or holiday house

Timing the party

  • Hold it a few months after the proposal, before wedding planning takes over
  • A late-afternoon start in summer catches the light over the bay for photos
  • Check public and school holiday dates, when Nelson Bay rooms book out
