Seated Wedding Venues in Melbourne are ideal for large, family-oriented weddings.

Not all venues in Melbourne provide full seating.  In fact, seated wedding venues in Melbourne that cater to large groups could be harder to come by than you think.

With many couples moving towards smaller weddings with cocktail or grazing table receptions, you could be mistaken in thinking that sit-down nuptials are becoming a thing of the past – with seated wedding venues Melbourne being replaced by smaller venues that cater to “standing-room only” events.

This couldn’t be further from the truth.  Big weddings are still a priority for many, and seated wedding venues are a must so that all friends and family can enjoy the day.  The reality is that, while some reception centres are focussing their energy on cocktail and stand-up weddings, there are still some amazing seated wedding venues in Melbourne that want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to relax and rest their feet amidst the excitement.

There are many advantages to having a seated wedding.  The happy couple can spend time sitting at the bridal table and taking in the scene – making sure they have time out to enjoy the moment instead of mingling from start to finish.  A sit-down wedding is also fantastic for the wedding formalities, such as speeches, cake cutting and first dance, as the guests can relax and watch from their tables.

It is also a great way for the newlyweds to catch up with all of their loved ones, as they move around tables to chat with guests, ensuring that they don’t miss out on spending time with anyone.

For anyone lucky enough to spend time enjoying the Ballara Receptions grounds – wandering through the English gardens, enjoying the lakefront from the private jetty – there will be a need to take the load off those formally dressed feet!

And the best thing?  By giving people a chance to take time to rest, you are making sure that more of your guests are ready to have a dance when the party really starts.

At Ballara Receptions, we make sure your guests are comfortable from the ceremony right through to the last song.  Full seating can be provided for the ceremony itself, along with all of the little extras that will make the occasion extra memorable.  Even a smaller outdoor seated wedding is possible, providing seating for up to 60 guests; or if your wedding is bigger, you can ensure that you have seating for your high-priority loved ones.  After the ceremony, your valued guests can make their way to the reception area, where they will be able to relax and catch up with others.
