Wedding Reception Venues in Kawana Waters

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Wedding receptions in Kawana Waters come from three suburbs, each giving a different kind of day. Parrearra's pair of Grand Parade restaurants serve set dining with terrace or deck space, Buddina has a marina pub, and Bokarina has a hired room above Lake Kawana.

Couples deciding between them are mostly choosing between restaurant service, a relaxed pub reception and a blank room they set up themselves.

Reception options by suburb:

Parrearra: Green Zebra's Alfresco Deck seats 120 for dinner or 250 for a stand-up reception, and a beach or park ceremony can be organised nearby
Parrearra: Vrina Mezze Bar has a terrace that couples use for ceremonies and long tables, with seated mezze feasts from $65 per person
Buddina: Kawana Waters Hotel puts receptions in its marina deck marquees, with Marquee One seating 64
Bokarina: the Lake View Room at Venue 114 holds up to 200 and is pitched for smaller weddings
Couples wanting a ceremony and reception in one place should start in Parrearra

Green Zebra's ceremony spot on the sand or in the park depends on council sign-off and the weather, so ask about a backup
After the vows, guests move to the deck for a seated or cocktail reception
Should the weather turn, Vrina lowers clear blinds around its terrace
Both restaurants serve share-style food, Greek at Vrina and Mediterranean at Green Zebra

A pub reception or a hired room

Kawana Waters Hotel lists packages from $20 per person, but its wedding spaces are shared parts of the pub, not closed rooms
The pub's set menu is served alternate drop, with share platters and canapés as other options
The Lake View Room has a bar servery, a balcony and a projector for slideshows
Venue 114's team can manage catering, so ask what a seated wedding menu looks like
