The Sunshine Coast Function Centre is a large wedding and events venue, located in the heart of coastal Caloundra. They have the capacity for large weddings of up to 500 guests, but also cater for smaller weddings of 60.
You can have your choice of the beautiful Sapphire Ballroom, complete with the Lobby Bar and luxurious Bridal Suite, or perhaps the retro styling of the Ice Lounge with the Emerald Ballroom for your reception is more suited to your requirements. These rooms can be decorated any which way you like, and themed to your preferences.
While your guests are enjoying pre-dinner drinks and nibbles in one of the lobby areas the bridal party is ushered in through a secret entrance to the bridal suite. This haven allows you to refresh and relax before your grand entrance into your wedding reception – when the celebration really starts.
There is a lot of room for movement at this venue, budget-wise. Food packages start from a very reasonable $65.95* per head for a full buffet, and $66.95* per head for a two-course sit down dinner, and beverage packages start at $31.00* per head. Prices and options increase from there, but remain remarkably good in value.
The ballrooms have state-of-the-art staging facilities with a raised stage, lighting and audio equipment available, and a large dancefloor for boogying the night away in style.
