Wedding Reception Venues in Glebe

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Exposed brick, a working fireplace and a jacaranda mural set the scene for a reception in the Stables at The Glebe Hotel, a heritage-listed pub on Bay Street dating from 1862.

For couples who want a pub reception rather than a ballroom, the hotel handles seated or standing weddings of 10 to 150 guests, with packages tailored to the day and served by professional wait staff.

How a Glebe Hotel reception can be laid out:

Seated wedding dinner for up to 70 in the Stables bar and grill
An intimate reception for 20 to 30 in the old hay loft, which has AV of its own
Cocktail-style celebration using the beer garden, which fits 80 to 90 mixed
Drinks under the fig tree between the ceremony and the meal
Exclusive use of any area so the wedding party isn't sharing with the public bar

Receptions start from $1,000 minimum spend. Full AV is available for the speeches and the first dance, and drinks can run on a package or a tab.
