OVERVIEW

“Spectacular views of a pretty beach and beyond. Tasty food served by friendly staff in the upstairs restaurant, we loved this place.” Margaret

What makes Soldiers Beach Surf Life Saving Club an ideal choice for your wedding?

  • Uninterrupted ocean views. Situated directly on the beach, floor-to-ceiling windows reveal breathtaking, uninterrupted sea views. Your guests will love the relaxing ocean view and sounds as they eat their dinner - talk about a luxurious dining experience!
  • Events team. Take the stress out of wedding planning with a dedicated events team! They’ll help you put together the wedding of your dreams - whether that’s a sophisticated, formal wedding or casual affair.
  • Beautiful design. Hardwood floors, alfresco balcony for elevated sea viewing, fairy lights and sophisticated interior design, need we say more? This delightful seaside wedding venue is elegant but laidback - perfect for couples after a relaxed, fun wedding reception.
  • Two reception spaces. Soldiers Beach Surf Life Saving Club has two main reception areas to choose from - the larger ‘Lighthouse Room’ and the more modest ‘Sunset Room’, which is just perfect for intimate weddings. So whether you're planning on inviting all your loved ones or just a few close family members, there's a suitable, stylish option at Soldiers Beach Surf Life Saving Club.
  • AV equipment. You won’t need to worry about hiring any additional audiovisual equipment, Soldiers Beach Surf Life Saving Club has got you covered. Phew!

  • Catering options. Whether you’re after a classy cocktail-style wedding or traditional seated, plated dinner, Soldiers Beach Surf Life Saving Club can facilitate both! If you choose the former, your guests can mingle while mouthwatering treats circulate the room. Alternatively, your guests can be seated and served their mains. 
  • Extensive drinks list. Well, isn’t this everyone’s favourite part of a wedding? We kid! Having said that, Soldiers Beach Surf Life Saving Club has a terrific selection of beverages - you’ll be spoiled for choice. Ask the staff about booking one of the convenient wedding beverage packages - your guests will thank you!
  • Grazing table. If you’re keen to add a little something extra to your wedding, why not add a grazing table? Soldiers Beach Surf Life Saving Club can create a board with delicious treats such as chorizo, fruit, olives and cheese. Mmmm, delicious!

About

Hi I'm Kim! I have worked in hospitality & events for over 12 years. I love helping my clients create the wedding of their dreams, and feel so privileged to have been a part of so many beautiful couple's weddings! I love my job because every couple is different, so every wedding at Dunes is unique. My favourite wedding moments are of course the bride's walk down the aisle, and I also love listening to speeches and hearing the love (and stories) families & friends share.

Absolutely loved my experience with Dunes By Dish. Kimberley the wedding coordinator looked after us so well. She’s so lovely, informative and organised. She made us feel well looked after and also organised some signage for us too. This venue was an absolute dream, such a scenic location that speaks for itself. All the staff on the night were fantastic. Bump in and bump out went super smoothly.

What a perfect wedding venue, we couldn't be more thrilled to have chosen Dunes by Dish at Soldiers Beach for our wedding reception. Fantastic venue with expansive ocean views, perfectly sized for a small or big wedding, and were a very easy experience from beginning to end taking a lot of stress out of the planning and day. Kim and the team were phenomenal, so organised, flexible, helpful and I felt very comfortable leaving it all in their hands to set up and run on the day. We were very indecisive and they were also very helpful with ideas and us making changes along the way. The Norah Head area in general was a good location with photo and ceremony location options, and was a perfect accessible spot for guests coming from mostly Newcastle and flying in through Sydney. Definitely recommend for your wedding or any other events.
