Wollongong Wedding Venues - the hunt was on!

Afternoon my lovelies! Today the fiance and I set off at 8am to head down to Wollongong as we were booked in to look at 2 venues.


The weather was absolutely miserable as we drove there and also cold! But we stopped near the end at this lookout and snapped some pics.




Then we drove into Wollongong out near the lighthouse and walked to our first venue - The Harbourfront Function centre. I was really looking forward to this place as it was right on the water and had a lovely view, also it catered for our small numbers.


When we had a look at the room it was so tiny! A little too tiny as everyone would feel squished in.
This was $85 per person, and was all inclusive.

After this we headed up the road and had a look at the City Beach function rooms. O M G these were sooo much better. They did only have the 2 rooms, and the beauty of it they were actually both set up for weddings! Perfect! The room we wanted was great, nice tall ceilings and plenty of room, it also had a huge private balcony :) Here are some pics of inside.




This is about $90 per person, but we need to negotiate the minimum numbers with the venue as we will not have as many as they would like.

We are definitely going to book this one in once we finalise cost! YAHOO!!!

The area is really lovely also, can imagine getting our wedding photos on the beach and at the lighthouse :)

Now I need to source everything else in Wollongong, does anyone have any recommendations??

Here are some pics of us in the area, started to turn into an awesome day too!
