OVERVIEW

The Baths Middle Brighton holds an incredibly desirable spot, located right on the beachfront with uninterrupted views over Port Phillip Bay. Walking distance from the world-famous Beach Boxes, and the water’s edge just metres away, couples seeking a beach wedding flock to The Baths Middle Brighton. A popular restaurant with gorgeous coastal-inspired spaces, The Baths specialises in individually tailored functions – particularly breathtaking weddings.

“We held the ceremony on the deck followed by a sit-down reception for 100. All of the staff were always incredibly down-to-earth and friendly, and Rohana the event organiser was exceptional - she was responsive, flexible and provided helpful advice along the way. We had so many compliments on the venue - it looked beautiful and the food and wine was delicious. We particularly enjoyed the flexibility of having a menu where guests could select their meal.” Sasha U

The experienced events team works closely with couples to curate unique experiences, ensuring no two weddings held within the venue are alike. If your guest list is creeping over 100, you’re able to capitalise on exclusive hire of the entire venue, and for more intimate events, just head upstairs to the City Room. This spacious coastal room can accommodate cocktail-style and seated receptions and overlooks one of Melbourne’s only remaining sea baths. White decor and furnishings are complemented by the abundance of natural light flooding through the floor-to-ceiling windows. For micro-weddings, you may choose to utilise the private dining room on the second floor.

From the second floor, you’ll have access to a private decking. The main deck is perfect for outdoor ceremonies, where Port Phillip Bay becomes the stunning backdrop to your vows. Your ceremony will enjoy an elegant coastal aesthetic with a simple timber arbour, floral arrangements, and chic white deck furniture. In the event of wet weather, your ceremony can be moved inside the City Room.

The culinary team at The Baths Middle Brighton create delicious, fresh food inspired by Mediterranean dishes. The extensive menu comes as cocktail canapes, alternate drop, banquets, and shared plates. They offer a range of vegetarian and vegan options, as well as dairy- and gluten-free alternatives.

“Everything about this venue and the staff was exceptional. At the last minute we needed to implement our wet weather plan and the staff made this process easy and seamless. The venue set up was perfect and the food and service was divine. We would 1000% recommend The Baths as a wedding venue.” Rachel W

My partner and I had our wedding at the Upstairs, and it’s been such a pleasant and wonderful experience working with Cindy, her team, and the rest of the staff from day one to the event itself. We appreciate all the timely responses, recommendations, and updates of the team. Our experience on the day was exceptional. The serving staff were very attentive and we really appreciated the small plates of canapes that were served to us while we were too busy taking photos and chatting with friends and family. We received a lot of compliments on the food. Quoting one of our friends, it is "on top of the list" when it comes to weddings. The favourite main dish was the beef cheeks and the favourite dessert was chocolate tart. The servings were generous, the canapes were all very yummy (though the lobster on charcoal tortillas were the absolute best), and wine list was excellent. Huge thanks to the bar staff for making one of the cocktails in spite of some miscommunication and we didn't realise until too late that what we’ve requested wasn't expected by staff to be part of the cocktail list on the day. The venue was perfect for us and the sunset in Autumn (timed perfectly during the ceremony) made it both intimate and magical. The staff also worked very well with our wedding coordinator and small issues were smoothly resolved in the background, giving us and our guests a very memorable evening. We highly recommend booking The Baths Upstairs for any event, especially a wedding.

We want to express our immense gratitude to the team at The Baths Middle Brighton, they were fantastic in helping us achieve our vision from the start and leading all the way up to our wedding day. They were very accommodating to all of our requests and great at suggesting ways to achieve our dream wedding. On the night the staff were all fantastic, attentive, welcoming and professional. Drinks were always topped up and there was always someone there to look after us. Food was amazing, catered to dietary restrictions without any hassle and lots of compliments to the chefs from us and our guests. Big thank you to Cindy, Ursula and the rest of The Baths Middle Brighton team for helping create a memorable evening.

We would highly recommend The Baths as a wedding venue. We held the ceremony on the deck followed by a sit-down reception for 100. All of the staff were always incredibly down-to-earth and friendly, and Rohana the event organiser was exceptional - she was responsive, flexible and provided helpful advice along the way. We had so many compliments on the venue - it looked beautiful and the food and wine was delicious. We particularly enjoyed the flexibility of having a menu where guests could select their meal. It is a stunning location thanks to the floor to ceiling windows and views of the city. This also has the benefit of not needing much in the way of styling or decorations. The entire wedding planning process was enjoyable, organised and smooth thanks to the wonderful support provided by The Baths.

The Supplier was amazing from first contact, during every step up to and including our Wedding Day. Their professionalism, care, support, flexibility, understanding and attention to detail was above and beyond what we had expected. Our guests are still raving about the attentive staff on the day/night, the quality of the food and the incredible view!!! We would rate this amazing place with 5 plus stars. We were taken care of so well and had such a wonderful time our guests are asking if we can do it all again.
