- SSophie & David Martini28/01/2018From start to finish it really was perfect, we couldn't fault anything.From start to finish it really was perfect, we couldn't fault anything.My daughter got married July 2017 and we held the wedding reception at the Spinnaker & Stern Room (I forgot to write a review at the time). From start to finish it really was perfect, we couldn't fault anything. Ashleigh Copping coordinated all that was needed for the reception and we felt she was spot on with exactly how my daughter and husband wanted everything. We had 50 to the wedding breakfast and the Buffett meal we went for was delicious food. In the evening we had a 100 guests and we all really enjoyed the hog roast. The stern room was a perfect size for these numbers and the doors opened onto the courtyard which gave a good outside space. The pre reception drinks were held in the small separate bar room and we also had a separate area for a fun photo booth. We were able to set up some of the room and bunting outside the night before. Ashleigh ensured all the tables and room on the day were set up exactly as we had instructed. The staff were so helpful and Ashleigh was brilliant through the event quietly working in the background making it all happen. It also was very good value. We would not hesitate to recommend the Spinnaker and Stern Room for anyone looking for a wedding reception venue.
