We couldn’t have chosen a better venue for our wedding than Salsa. From the moment we arrived, the place looked absolutely stunning and it feel so intimate and special. We hired the whole restaurant for our reception and it was so easy. The team at Salsa made everything seamless, from planning to execution. They were attentive, professional, and genuinely lovely. If you're looking for a wedding venue that’s beautiful with incredible food and service, this is it. 100% recommend!

Our wedding reception at Salsa was everything we wanted. Excellent food and faultless service by the wait staff. Many of our guests, approx. 40, commented that it was the best wedding reception they have attended. The staff were light hearted and fun and everyone was looked after incredibly well.

Our wedding reception at Salsa was absolutely perfect! The planning process was seamless and hassle-free, with no surprises—everything went off without a hitch. The staff were incredibly professional yet fun & attentive, and made sure every detail was taken care of. The food was incredible, and our guests are still raving about it five months later! Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re planning a special event, I highly recommend Salsa for your wedding reception. They made our day unforgettable, and we couldn’t be more grateful! I want to do it all over again!

September 2022

We were fortunate enough to have held our wedding reception at Salsa and WOW is all we can say. From start to finish, everything was expertly handled and made the evening so incredibly seamless. From the staff and service to the food and of course, the location - we couldn't fault a single thing! Every single person who attended has complimented how incredible the food was and how fantastic the service was. The staff were beyond helpful in setting things up for us and also packing up, they made sure everyone's drinks were topped up and the food was phenomenal. Salsa was the perfect place for a tropical Port Douglas wedding and we would recommend it to everyone. You can't go wrong with Salsa! A special thank you to Rhys, Sophie and the team for making our day so perfect - you guys are the best!

It was an absolute pleasure to host your special day, your guests were amazing and so easy to take care of. All the best to you for the coming years, maybe for a cheeky anniversary dinner! Warm wishes, Rhys & Team Salsa

April 2020

AMAZING! Salsa bar went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. Shortly before our wedding we had a huge family tragedy and nearly had to postpone our wedding. The staff upon hearing our news were nothing but accomodating. Our wedding thank goodness went ahead and I could not have been happier. The food was incredible, all the guests commented about how amazing it was. But probably the stand out from all of our guests and myself (apart from the food) was the service and their attention to detail. I had some of my guests come up to me the following day and let me know that their waitress was finishing her shift for the evening and came over to the table to thank them for being wonderful and wish them all the best for the evening and even introduce the staff member who would be taking over. How incredible!!!
