All Smiles Sorrento Ocean Beach Wedding Venue
The name of this stunning Mornington Peninsula venue says it all. Simply put, you can’t help but smile when you encounter the aura of this beautiful wedding venue.
With a vantage point looking onto Sorrento’s spectacular Ocean Beach, your special day will be unforgettable for all the right reasons.
If you’re looking for a one-in-a-million venue for your wedding day, consider this oceanside haven! Here’s everything you need to know about All Smiles Sorrento Ocean Beach wedding venue.
Location & Vibe
All Smiles has two venues, but we’re focusing on their Sorrento venue. It’s just an hour outside of Melbourne, ideal for Melbourne-based couples and their friends and family. Even if you don’t live just around the corner, the beauty of this spot is well worth travelling for!
They’re a contemporary, upbeat venue that offer a bit of a departure from the traditional wedding vibe. That’s not to say you can’t have a classic wedding here, though! With impeccable service, they’re ready to work with you to give you the day you want and deserve.
Cocktail Weddings
All Smiles offers “cocktail weddings and wedding receptions”. Let’s be honest - as much as everyone wants to see you say “I do”, the reception really makes up the majority of the wedding experience.
The difference between a sit-down wedding and a cocktail wedding is simply the atmosphere. Sit-down events are more traditional and classic, whereas cocktail weddings are focused on being somewhat more informal.
All Smiles are exceptional at creating a relaxed, informal, and natural feeling. This is a huge pro not only for wedding guests who want to just have a good time and celebrate with you, but also for the about-to-be-married couple, who may be feeling a bit nervous!
Reception Facilities
Unlike your traditional wedding reception facilities, you won’t find a room full of tables and chairs here. Instead, All Smiles has artistically scattered a variety of types of seating throughout the venue. Stylish, contemporary decor brings a feeling of ease and calm to the space, perfect for a joyous celebration!
Guests can take advantage of comfy lounge areas, bar-style high tables and stools, and smaller tables seating just a few. There’s also plenty of open space, ideal for mingling, dancing, and moving through the crowd easily.
The venue opens wide onto a patio, overlooking the ocean. Whether you’re inside or outside, the venue is beautiful and an unforgettable place to spend a day or night.
Photo Opportunities
Photos or it didn’t happen! Of course, a huge part of any wedding celebration is the photography. You’ll never forget your wedding day. But the photos are going to be your visual representation of that day, the things you look back on together, the pictures that inspire memories, smiles, and love.
One of the most amazing things about the Sorrento Ocean Beach is, obviously, the beach! While beaches are many across Australia, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful setting in which to become a married couple. It’s also completely private, so you won’t be gawked at or need to photoshop stragglers out of your special memories.
Sunrise, sunset, or middle of the day, you can expect to get exceptional photos on the smooth beach, with the turquoise water in the background. Textured rocky outcrops and a dusting of green flora in the background (at least, in the warmer months) offer a variety of charming, natural spots for your photos.
Don’t stress if the weather isn’t the best to spend hours on beach photos. The venue is attractive enough to feature an array of photo-worthy spots indoors, complete with stunning lighting and décor.
Catering & Hospitality
All Smiles offer a range of menu choices. They place emphasis on variety and food diversity, aiming to make sure that every guest in the room finds meal or snack options to their liking. Allergies and food intolerances are taken into account. After all, the food is one thing that could make or break someone’s wedding experience!
Whatever the style of your event, they’ve got something to suit it. Choose from light, finger-food menus, or robust full-meal options.
The wait staff are amazing and you won’t even notice they’re there. At the same time, you’ll find that there’s a constant supply of food, drinks, and whatever else you need, thanks to the seemingly invisible waiters and waitresses who oversee the event.
Want a bit of an idea of what kind of food you can expect? Here’s a sampling of spectacular dishes you can add to your special menu.
Smoked Salmon Roulade: Rolled French crepes filled with cream cheese, Tasmanian smoked salmon, dill, chives, and chervil
Tempura and Oysters: served with lemon and lime
All Smiles Pesto Bread: Toasted Turkish focaccia, smothered with fresh basil pesto and melted cheese

Capacity & Accommodation Options
The All Smiles Sorrento Ocean Beach wedding venue can accommodate up to 200 guests. Whether you’re going for a cosy, intimate feel or going all out and inviting everyone and their cousin, your guest list should fit nicely into their space.
The only thing that could possibly be considered a downside is that All Smiles Sorrento Ocean Beach doesn’t offer on-site accommodation. It’s truly a small downside, though. The area is flush with hotels, motels, and rental properties, many of which offer the same fantastic views and chilled out vibe.

It’s private, it’s cosy, and it’s super relaxed. The stunning views combined with excellent services, beautiful facilities, and its proximal location make the venue a strong choice. Follow them on social media if you think they may be the one!
