A popular restaurant that offers world-class dining and elite events, The Baths Middle Brighton boasts the best of everything this high-end suburb has to offer.

The Scene at The Baths Middle Brighton

As you arrive at The Baths Middle Brighton, you’re struck by how close you are to the ocean: mere metres away is the ebb and flow of the water from Port Phillip Bay. It’s from the floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the venue that you have your best, unmatched view out over the bay and beyond to the distant silhouette of the Melbourne city skyline. These magical views are one of the major selling points of hosting your wedding at The Baths Middle Brighton, but it’s certainly not the only feature that will win you over.

As a popular restaurant serving up Mediterranean-style cuisine, The Baths Middle Brighton is well known, and much loved amongst Brighton residents. The first floor is typically reserved for public dining, with a light and bubbly atmosphere encouraged by the open and airy layout. The City Room at The Baths Middle Brighton is where private functions usually occur as it offers exclusive use.

The City Room features an art-deco style with Portuguese cork flooring and timber accents throughout. Floor-to-ceiling windows open out onto the bay, meaning that the City Room is a gorgeous spot for both ceremonies and receptions.

From the City Room, you have access to two private decks perfect for pre-ceremony drinks and canapes. Furnished with trendy cocktail furniture, lush greenery, and festoon lighting that lights up the night after you’ve watched the sunset over Port Phillip Bay, the main deck is an ideal breakaway space from the indoor festivities.

Between the ceremony and the reception, The Baths Middle Brighton staff will allow your guests to mingle whilst they prepare everything for the reception. You, your partner, and your bridal party can head off down the beach to snap your beautiful wedding photos with the golden hour light over the bay. The baths make an iconic backdrop, especially as they’re some of Melbourne’s only remaining sea baths, and you’re just minutes from Brighton’s colourful and world-famous Beach Boxes.

Catering at The Baths Middle Brighton is a sensory experience, with dishes designed and prepared by some of Melbourne’s best chefs. Whether you’ve opted for a seated menu or a cocktail-style serving, you’ll be treated to an extensive menu that features local produce, seasonal dishes, and Mediterranean inspiration. You’ll be able to choose from a range of sweet and savoury canapes, and their late night eats are designed for those guests who are working up an appetite on the dancefloor. For main meals, choose from alternate drop, choice, and banquet menus. You can also opt for external catering pending approval from the venue.

The Baths Middle Brighton Wedding Ceremonies

There are two ceremony options available at The Baths Middle Brighton. Most couples choose the incredibly popular balcony option. Picture an intimate ceremony with white chairs, a timber arbour with beautiful native flowers or soft dreamy blooms, the sea baths behind you and the ocean beyond. On a beautiful mild day, you’ll say your vows under a bright blue sky with tall palm trees swaying in the sea breeze.

In the event of wet weather, or you’d prefer to hold your ceremony indoors, The Baths Middle Brighton can accommodate you in the City Room space. With the large windows allowing an abundance of natural light into the room, and uninterrupted views out, the dining area becomes an intimate ceremony space. Your guests will sit on either side of the short aisle on polished floors, and there’s room to accommodate an arbour against the back windows.

After the ceremony, The Baths Middle Brighton team will start serving a selection of drinks and canapes to your guests whilst you’re off snapping formal photos. If your ceremony was held inside, staff could invite your guests to enjoy refreshments out on the deck whilst they transform the room for your ceremony.
