Lightspace is the primo venue for the pair who are looking for something a little different for their post-ceremony celebration.

Situated on Light Street in Fortitude Valley, this warehouse venue channels raw industrial vibes, coupled with soft romantic design.

The venue has been divided into two rooms that can be opened to create a single inviting space.

Aside from putting on rave-worthy reception, this unique venue can also accommodate your ceremony.

From an intimate cocktail celebration to a sit-down feast for 300 of your nearest and dearest, Lightspace has you covered.

THE SUMMIT RESTAURANT & BAR

Nestled within Brisbane State Forest Park, it’s easy to forget how close The Summit Restaurant & Bar is to Brisbane.

The heritage-listed building perched on top of Mt Coot-tha offers what are undisputedly the most gorgeous views of both Brisbane and Moreton Bay.

The unobstructed, panoramic lookout makes The Summit the perfect sunset reception venue. The spot is seeped in romance and the fantastic team offers myriad floor-plan options to suit your styling.

Couples can choose between the Summit Restaurant itself or the Fountain View room with floor-to-ceiling windows. Have your pre-dinner drinks looking out over the city, then treat your guests to an intimate dinner indoors before the dancing begins.

The Summit has a way of making you feel you’re in the clouds. It’s hard to imagine anything better than dancing your bridal waltz to a backdrop of night lights emanating from the city you fell in love in.

HIGH CHURCH
