Reception

Welcome to Reception.com.au, your site to find all the information that you need to help organise your reception. You can use this site to find out about reception venues and ideas on how to host your reception, to make it a memorable night for you, your family and friends.

An overview of aspects you may like to consider for your reception include a reception theme, food, venue, lighting, wedding favours and wedding toasts, of course. Where you will have your reception is often one of the biggest decisions you have to make when organising your wedding reception. You can choose a variety of places such as your or a family member's home, a ball room, community hall, town hall, restaurant, or a venue in a bar, club or pub.

If you would like your reception to have a theme, you may like to continue your wedding ceremony theme - if you had one. If not, you can choose a subtle theme such as by using a subtle motif, or have a colour-themed wedding. You may also like to consider lighting at your wedding. You can have coloured lighting, light installations, mood lighting, candles or even very bright lighting, depending on the effect you wish to create.

An important part of your reception will be the wedding toasts. Traditionally the best man makes a toast, and the maid of honour can as well. More recently the parents of the bride and groom make toasts as well, especially if they have hosted the event. Food is also a strong feature of a wedding reception, being a great celebratory feature. You can choose anything from an a la carte menu to a selection of canaps.

Other things you might like to consider for your wedding reception include wedding favours, flowers, music and other entertainment. If you would like more information for your wedding reception, you can browse through our online search option.
