Wedding Reception Venues in Kiama & Gerringong

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Ceremony to reception around Kiama can stay in town or head for the hills. Couples marrying in one of the town's churches will find Kiama Leagues Club a short walk away, with The Auditorium @ Kiama Leagues Club upstairs; The Pavilion Kiama looks over Surf Beach from its headland; and Greyleigh, a 200-acre Jerrara estate, gives each wedding the property to itself.

Seated numbers, the view and whether guests can stay over are the main differences.
