Wedding Reception Venues in Richmond

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Chandeliers, gold-framed chairs and round tables set the scene at Aurelia House, a purpose-built function centre on Lukis Avenue that hosts weddings and cultural celebrations. It runs only private events, with no public dining room or bar trade.

Its position in Richmond keeps it within easy driving distance of Windsor, Schofields and Marsden Park, which helps when guests are coming from across the north-west.

Planning a reception at Aurelia House:

Seated numbers: room for as many as 300 at banquet tables, with layouts that flex for smaller weddings
First dance: a dance floor takes over for the later part of the night, with a DJ booth and lighting
Speeches: a stage, screens and microphones sit at one end of the room
Styling: the venue tailors the décor, or brings in your stylist once approved
Arrivals: ample free on-site parking and full wheelchair access

Packages are built around the guest count and budget rather than a fixed price list, and the events team can recommend DJs, florists and photographers.

The events team works with local caterers on menus running from Indian and Asian to Mediterranean
Outside caterers can be brought in with approval, useful for family recipes or cultural feasts
A licensed bar service is available
Wi-Fi is free, and someone can help with the tech for a ceremony video or slideshow

Securing the reception

Visits to see the room are by appointment
A deposit holds the wedding date
