Port Stephens has always been one of our favourite places to hang out, so it’s no surprise that we do a lot of weddings here. Getting here from Newcastle, the Central Coast or Sydney is super easy, and there’s endless accommodation, dining and fun activities to do for you and your guests. If you’re beach lovers like us, you’ll find plenty of variety when it comes to choosing the perfect spot for your wedding — modern, elegant resorts, golden beaches, sparkling waterways, vast ocean views and great food! So here’s 3 Port Stephens wedding venues that you really can’t go wrong with.
Let’s take a look…
Saltwater Restaurant
Fingal Bay
Saltwater Restaurant is a favourite for beach-side weddings in Port Stephens. Perched above Fingal Bay Beach, it gives you sweeping ocean views through huge floor-to-ceiling windows. You can get married out on the deck, grab some photos on the beach, and then head straight inside for a relaxed, roomy and light-filled reception. If you’re after something a bit quieter than Nelson Bay or Shoal Bay, Saltwater is pretty hard to beat!
