Wedding Reception Venues in Alligator Creek

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Alligator Creek suits couples after a country-style reception or a relaxed club celebration. Melvilles hosts weddings in rustic, country chic, vintage and traditional styles on family-owned land, and Alligator Creek Community & Sports Club sets up ceremonies and receptions across its function room and verandah.

The club can keep the vows and the meal in one place; at Melvilles, ask how a ceremony on the property would be arranged.

How the two Alligator Creek wedding venues line up:

Capacity: Melvilles seats 200 under roof, while the club's room takes 100 inside with 80 more on the verandah.
Exclusivity: Melvilles books one group at a time across its 20 acres; the club's function room is private with a bar of its own.
Style: a tavern-style shed with heavy timber framing and festoon-lit lawns at Melvilles, against a garden verandah at the club.
Food and drink: both offer catering, and Melvilles adds a choice of bar tab or pay-as-you-go drinks.
Extras: Melvilles offers tractor hay rides, an animal farm and rides in a 1926 Chevy, worth asking about for the couple's arrival.

Alligator Creek Wedding Reception Venues

The property looks out to the foothills of Mount Elliot, and couples are free to theme and decorate the tavern.
A dance floor, sound system and DJ-friendly set-up are listed, so the reception can run from dinner into dancing.
Buses from two pick-up points in town can bring guests in and take them home after the reception.
Ask about a wet-weather plan for anything on the lawns, since a dry-season evening and a wet-season one outdoors are very different.
