Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right event venue in Port Stephens?
The right venue depends on your guest numbers, event style and budget. Consider whether you want indoor or outdoor spaces, water views, heritage settings or relaxed gardens. Visiting venues in person and discussing catering options helps ensure the space suits your needs and creates the right atmosphere.
Do caterers work directly with venues?
Yes, many caterers partner with local venues to provide seamless service. This means they’re familiar with the venue’s layout, facilities and requirements. Working with a partnered caterer can simplify planning, as food, setup and service are coordinated smoothly between the catering team and the venue staff.
Can venues provide both space and catering?
Some venues include in-house catering, while others allow outside caterers. If you’d like flexibility, choose a venue that welcomes external catering partners. This gives you freedom to select a caterer whose menus and service style match your preferences, while still enjoying the venue’s location and atmosphere.
