OVERVIEW
Major renovations restoring elegance & old world charm creating the perfect venue for weddings, by injecting a sense of history, glamour with a modern twist.
The Transcontinental Hotel has quickly established itself as one of the most versatile wedding venues in Brisbane. Situated in the heart of the CBD, our classic 1880’s heritage listed building exhibits a Victorian era inspiration to its design. Its old-world charm with varnished dark timber floors, exposed brick walls, historic furnishings and picturesque inner city views makes ‘The Trans’ that perfect wedding reception venue.
Our weddings are hosted in our entire second level private area called the Platform Bar. This area contains a timber u-shaped bar, dance floor, multiple sitting areas, bathrooms and a private balcony spanning the length of the building.
The large cost of some weddings can leave future brides and grooms a little scared and overwhelmed. At the Transcontinental we keep very competitive prices to ensure that you enjoy your day without any heavy financial burden. Take some time and browse our packages that are all inclusive.
Having multiple entertainment areas allows for extreme versatility, and when matched with our own unique style & personality it means that you don’t have to place limits on your imagination. So why not take some of the stress out of planning your most special of days and enquire now to see how we can help give you that dream wedding.

FAQ
Yes, there is a venue coordinator. They will work with you to ensure everything runs smoothly on your special day and are there at any point you have questions regarding your wedding reception.
At the earliest, you or your vendors will have access to bump-in from 9am the morning of your wedding reception. However, you are more than welcome to drop off any styling up to a week prior to this and we can keep it in our storage. We are very flexible with bump-outs and are happy to work with you or your vendors on when best suits everyone.
The Venue Wedding Co-Ordinator will take of all the knity gritty that we don't want you stressing about. For example, finalising all the detials for the running of the reception approx. 6 weeks out from your wedding, contact your vendors a week out to organise bump-ins and bump-outs plus anything else they need from the venue, set the full table setting for your style of reception (i.e. sit-down, banquet, etc.), layout your place cards/bonboniers if applicable, light all candles and turn on any lighting that is apart of your styling, fully pack down all your styling at the end of the night, and plenty more.
Yes, if you decide to book with us, we organsie a full finalsation for the running of the recpetion approxiamtely 6 weeks out. Prior to the finalisation, we get you and your fiance to choose 3 entrees and 3 mains from our current seasonal menu that you will be able to taste while we finalise with you both. We can also do a wine tasting if you are unsure about what package you are wanting to go with.
Yes, if you do not want to go with a Beverage Package you are more than welcome to have a Consumption Bar. There is just a minimum per head cost of $45.00 for this option. You can then customise your drinks menu to suit your idea of the perfect drinks menu for your wedding (for example, having spirits or cocktails available to your guests).
Yes, we most certainly do and our Head Chef takes food allergies very seriously. When making your choice of food for your wedding, we recommend to not cater for people with allerigies as the chef will ensure they get an entirely separate meal that is specifically prepared for them based on their dietary needs.
To secure your wedding reception with us we will require a 10% deposit of your minimum spend along with a signed version of our T & C's. This secures your reception up until 2-4 weeks out when we send off the final invoice, less your deposit, once final numbers are advised. This payment is due 7 days prior to your wedding reception.
No, we work off minimum spends. We always try ensure that the minimum spend allocated for your wedding is easily acheived based on your numbers, month in the year, day of the week, etc. If you are wanting to know what the minimum spend will be for your wedding, please do not hesitate to ask.

It does vary depending on the type of venue you book for your ceremomy/reception. I would highly recommend to ask any venues you enquire with what the requirements for bumping-out are. Some venues may require you to remove any rubbish from their premise after your wedding. You will find that most dry hire venues ask you to clean up and pack down or they may charge a fee for this service. At venues that are all inlcusive, cleaning is generally apart of their hire/minimum spend. As an all inclusive venue ourselves, we can pack down our couples styling if they wish and will also remove any rubbish and clean the space after your wedding.
