Wedding Reception Venues in Kenthurst

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Gardens, gum trees and a sense of getting away, without a long drive for Hills District guests: Kenthurst offers two very different reception spaces. Allegro, in O'Hara's Valley at 1 Porters Road, is a white Mediterranean-style villa among tall gums, and the open-air Courtyard @ The Heritage House, at number 70 Kenthurst Road, is trimmed with white heritage timber and trailing greenery.

Both have free parking, a bonus for guests coming on from a ceremony elsewhere.

Choosing between villa and courtyard:

Seated reception size: Allegro takes around 190, and the Courtyard seats 60.
Cocktail receptions: 300 at Allegro, 150 in the Courtyard.
First dance: Allegro's hall has a 40 square metre dance floor, with DJ sound and lighting included.
Catering: the Heritage House kitchen cooks in-house from $80 per person, while Allegro has couples hire a licensed caterer.
Setting: a reception under the night sky in the Courtyard, or timber beams, candelabras and a grand piano at Allegro.

Allegro books one event at a time, so the house, grounds and parking belong to the wedding party for the day or night.

Allegro's garden gazebo and several acres of gardens sit around the reception hall.
Pre-dinner drinks and canapés can move to Allegro's covered terrace bar above O'Hara's Creek.
The Courtyard suits a sunset drinks hour before a seated dinner of up to 60.
Allegro's private retreat room gives the couple a moment to themselves.

Allegro's hire runs four and a half hours, from $4,500 minimum spend early in the week (Monday to Wednesday).
Tables, chairs, linen, crockery and a DJ sound and lighting system are included at Allegro.
The Heritage House menus cover vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free guests.
Bar staff and a beer, wine and soft drink package can be added at Allegro.
