Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

A small, wine-led wedding dinner is what St Leonards does well. Annata, a modern European restaurant at 66 Chandos Street, lists weddings in its events, and a reception there takes place in a warm, softly lit room with white-clothed tables and a glass-fronted wine wall.

The restaurant is made for sitting down rather than standing about, so it fits couples planning a seated dinner with speeches between courses more than a long cocktail party.

What Annata offers a wedding party:

  • A private dining room for around 45 guests, quoted as 40 on the events page
  • The entire restaurant for up to 85, quoted elsewhere as 80
  • An event menu written by executive chef Jordon Garcia for your guests
  • Wines recommended by owner and head sommelier John Bligh from a list of more than 200
  • Vegan, vegetarian and kids menus for mixed family tables

Getting guests there is straightforward: Annata is about seven minutes on foot from St Leonards and Crows Nest stations, and parking is available.

Booking Annata for a wedding

  • Mention dietary requirements when you enquire, and the kitchen works them into the menu
  • Events can be arranged outside the restaurant's usual lunch and dinner hours
  • Send the events form with the date and numbers; the team replies within a business day
  • For a guest list close to 85, book the whole restaurant rather than the private room

Speeches, seating and the evening

  • White tablecloths set the tone for a formal seated dinner with toasts between courses
  • A bar lined with bottles and the glass-fronted wine wall frame the room
  • The chef cooks to the seasons, so the menu follows the time of year of the wedding
  • Stand-up celebrations sit less naturally here than seated dinners
