OVERVIEW
Your guests board at Brooke Street Pier and spend an hour on the water before they even arrive. It's a show-stopper — a genuine opening act that sets a contemporary, celebratory tone for the day.
They cruise the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, views of Bruny Island ahead, and step onto your grounds already relaxed and ready.
You exchange vows under the 200-year-old oak tree or in another ceremony location with the Channel as your backdrop. Then the real story begins.
Food is at the heart of what we do. Fresh seasonal ingredients from our own garden, paired with local artisan producers across the Huon Valley — Tasmania's best produce, treated with respect and elegant simplicity. The same philosophy runs through the drinks list: locally produced wines, spirits, beers and ciders that reflect the region. Three service styles give you control: Cocktail (moving, social), Family Table (shared, progressive), or Formal Banquet (seated, structured). However you want it to flow, we've handled the coordination and we'll work with you to shape it to be yours. Your job is to be present with your people.
Couples return our way saying this was one of the best meals they've had at a wedding. They remember the staff reading the room, making the small adjustments that let the day breathe. They talk about the boat ride — how it changed the energy before they even arrived.
Peppermint Bay has hosted weddings on the Channel for over 20 years. We know what it takes to get a day right.
Capacity: 160 seated, 300 cocktail | Catamaran transfers: Up to 160 guests

Good afternoon,
Not at all, we are accomodating for a range of bar options. If you would like to focus on spending your money elsewhere that this is your decision. If you would like to only provide one drink per guest as a welcome drink, this is definately possible.
I hope this helps you make a decision!
Public holidays and surcharges?
I'm planning a wedding and my mum thinks Australia day is a great day to get married. Wedding is Jan 2019. Australia day is Saturday and Saturday is a little expensive for my partners family. We were considering the Sunday 27th and the next Monday is the Australia day public holiday Is there any surcharges on Sundays or public holiday long weekends? We just don't want to be swamped in surcharges and have a super expensive wedding
Peppermint Bay
Good afternoon Daniela,
Australia Day is a great idea! We don't charge any surcharges, regardless of the day. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Many thanks,
Sara
