FAQ

Our minimum spend requirements vary by season, day, timing, and space of choice, ensuring the flexibility you need to customize your event, while also guaranteeing high-quality service. Contact us for more info and to schedule a site visit.

We take pride in our catering services, offering you an exceptional and cost-effective experience. Although we understand that sometimes external catering may be desired or necessary. In these cases, we do provide separate quotes for venue hire, which will depend on various factors such as the space of choice, kitchen access requirements, and other considerations. Our team is dedicated to making your event a success, so feel free to contact us for more information or to discuss your requirements. Let us help make your vision a reality!

We want to make sure that your wedding day is perfect in every way, and unfortunately, due to our peak season, we are reluctant to offer weddings in December unless the event warrants exclusive use of the venue to ensure an unforgettable and intimate experience. As there can often be multiple Christmas functions at the same time, this can limit our availability and potentially compromise the level of detail and attention that we like to give to our weddings.

We have a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces to choose from, with capacities that can accommodate anywhere from 20 to 1000 people depending on the specific space and set up requirements dictated by the type of menu chosen. We’re confident that we can find the perfect space to fit your needs, so please feel free to contact us for more information.

At our venue, each space is equipped with an AV sound system and microphone setup, readily available throughout the entirety of your event, and all provided at no additional cost. Whether you prefer live music or a DJ, the possibilities are boundless, limited only by your imagination!

We offer the flexibility to extend the timings of your package by applying a Venue Hire fee of $600 per hour for the additional time you wish to extend. Alternatively, if you prefer to have extra time at no cost, we can explore the possibility of relocating your party to our beach club & restaurant area, subject to availability based on our restaurant operations and space availability.

We frequently offer full venue privatisation for events, and we would be delighted to provide you with a personalised quote. Hiring the entire venue grants a distinctive and enchanting setting for weddings, offering unparalleled privacy right on the beach.

As West Beach Pavilion is situated directly on the beach, every room offers a front deck boasting magnificent views and direct access to the sandy shore. This exceptional feature provides an enchanting backdrop for your wedding reception, creating a truly remarkable setting.

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.
