The venue itself is beautiful and versatile - we had a casual reception but it was still elegant and sophisticated and a lot of this was down to the venue staff. We were so busy that I didn't manage to eat much of the food but my guests assured me it was wonderful.

We had the most magical wedding at West Beach Bathers Pavilion. The views, food, weather and attentive and supportive staff were just perfect. Our 117 wedding guests marvelled at the beautiful views of St Kilda beach and the tasteful decor. The food was superb - we went with the buffet option which gave guests plenty of options. The whole-cooked salmon was a highlight. Deanna, Hannah and the West Beach team guided us through the process from start to finish. When it came to walking down the aisle, we felt calm and relaxed. Thank-you from the bottom of our hearts.

how important is it to view a venue in person?

West Beach Pavilion

Viewing a venue in person is extremely important as it offers an immediate atmosphere of the venue as well as starting a personal relationship with those coordinating your special day. A venue walkthrough would also provide a snapshot of the venue's approach to weddings, from the arrival of guests, the timing of the ceremony, and the flow into the reception, which would help clarify if the venue is right for you. 

is it best to book vendors who have worked together before?

West Beach Pavilion

There is definitely something to say for experience and ongoing relationships. Suppliers who understand each others product, brand, and approach to events will always work better together, providing synchronicity and consistency without that initial window of error.
