Wedding Venues - Mornington Peninsula - Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a Bridal Room for us to get ready in?

If you’d like to get ready on-site, we recommend booking a 2-night stay at the beautiful InterContinental Sorrento. Staying at our wedding venue on the Mornington Peninsula means you can wake up after a restful night's sleep and get ready inside your luxury room without having to move or stress. Why not celebrate and order a bottle of champagne and some room service?

Can I have live music?

We understand how important and impactful entertainment for guests is. That’s why we allow DJs and bands to play until 11 pm within the indoor function spaces of all our Mornington Peninsula wedding venues.

Is there parking on-site?

There is car parking for hotel guests, costing $35 per vehicle per night underground the hotel. There is also lots of public parking around the hotel on the Main Street and side streets. Please note that no parking can be reserved, so guests attending our wedding venues on the Mornington Peninsula are asked to arrive early to avoid disappointment.

Is there a dancefloor in the reception room?

Yes! Whether it’s your first dance or everyone up on the dancefloor together, we ensure there is a space for your dancefloor within our reception spaces. As with any memorable occasion, we understand how important adequate space to dance together is, which is why our wedding reception venues on the Mornington Peninsula have a built-in dancefloor, ensuring you and all your wedding guests can dance the night away to your favourite songs!

When do we lock in all the final details?

We want to help you the best we can to make your planning process as stress-free as possible. Your dedicated Wedding Coordinator will be there for you to answer any questions in the leadup to your big day.

Two weeks out from your wedding ceremony date, you will have a face-to-face meeting or zoom with your Wedding Coordinator, where you’ll go through all details from when you arrive at our wedding venue on the Mornington Peninsula, to when you and your guests depart.

Do you host a wedding menu tasting?

We want you and your guests to talk about your big day for years to come, and we understand how important a role the menu plays in this. Our Mornington Peninsula wedding venues host menu tastings for the Bride and Groom at a fee of $500 which includes a glass of sparkling on arrival plus a selection of 3 entrees, mains, sides and desserts. We kindly request that personalised tastings are done at least 4-6 weeks out from your special day.

If you would like to invite parents, friends, your bridal party or just make a day of it, you can choose to dine in the Atrium and indulge in the a la carte menu that shares similar starters and mains to the packages, allowing you to get a taste of your wedding day.

Do you allow for wedding rehearsals?

As the saying goes, practice does make perfect! Our wedding reception venues on the Mornington Peninsula allow rehearsals for a maximum of an hour duration. This does need to be pre-booked with your wedding coordinator and is subject to availability.

What does a registered heritage site mean?

Our wedding venues on the Mornington Peninsula hold a lot of history, with the first license for the build being granted in 1875. This is why it’s on The Victorian HeritageRegister, which is a list of about 2,400 places and objects that are significant to the history and development of Victoria.

Do you provide any styling elements?

Your special day needs to be a reflection of both you and your partner - and this is no different when it comes to styling.

No one knows you better than yourselves. Our wedding venues on the Mornington Peninsula will provide the high-quality essentials (tables, chairs, cutlery etc.), however individual styling elements will need to be organised by the booking party. We do have a list of preferred suppliers that will help bring your wedding day vision to life.

Is transport easy to organise after the wedding?

Because our wedding venues are at the end of the Peninsula, it can be tricky to organise a taxi or uber last minute on a busy weekend night. We suggest booking these in advance to avoid disappointment.

Do you have any audio-visual equipment?

To take some pressure off you on your special day, our Mornington Peninsula wedding venues do provide a complimentary microphone and lectern. We can also organise to have a projector and screen if needed. For more complex audio-visual requirements, we can connect you with an Audio Visual company that will be able to assist you further.

Where can I take photos after the ceremony?

We’re proud to offer the best wedding venues for stunning photos. You’re welcome to take pictures around the venue after your ceremony. However, as you are in one of the most stunning regions in Victoria, we have both the Sorrento back and front beaches which you could explore for your wedding photos, as well as the SSCBC pier.

What other facilities can my guests or I experience at The Continental?

You can have many different experiences for you and your guests, pre and post-wedding, without having to leave The Continental.

There are multiple dining spaces and bars as well as our late-night speakeasy cocktail bar, Barlow.

We also have Aurora Spa & Bathhouse that can be booked for a restorative and relaxing wellness experience, and world-class accommodation with InterContinental Sorrento Mornington Peninsula.

Is there a space for a ceremony and reception on-site?

Yes! Here at The Continental Sorrento, we have a range of spaces for both ceremonies and reception, so guests can relax and enjoy the celebration without having to leave the venue.

How soon before my wedding day shall I book?

We would suggest locking in your venue between 18 and 12 months before the wedding day, so that the planning journey is seamless and as stress-free as possible.

We understand that sometimes that is not possible, so if you have a short lead time, we will always do our best to accommodate.

Do you cater for teenagers and children?

We want all guests attending our wedding venues on the Mornington Peninsula to feel welcome - and children are no exception to this.

We cater for children at the cost of $35pp which includes a main meal with a side of fries and unlimited soft drinks or juice. For teenagers, we usually provide a full adult menu at an altered cost.

Do you allow pets?

Pets are allowed on your special day on the events level only - Pets, unfortunately, cannot be in any of our public spaces during your wedding, but they’re welcome to join in the day at your wedding ceremonies and stay for some pictures.

How many guests can I have?

We have three different wedding venues in Mornington, right here on the Peninsula. These spaces can accommodate Sorrento weddings of all different sizes, from 20 up to 200 people. Get in touch with our events team to discuss the best space for your guest list.

Can my guests book accommodation?

There’s nothing better than kicking off your dancing shoes at the end of the night. So thankfully, your guests won’t need to walk far to do this! We have 108 hotel rooms in total on the premises at InterContinental Sorrento Mornington Peninsula for you and your guests to stay in.
