Weddings by the water
There is something special about beginning a new chapter near the bay. Golden-hour light, the sea air and a table full of familiar faces make a simple, memorable backdrop for a wedding celebration. At Santini’s Restaurant & Bar, you can enquire about space for a smaller gathering or discuss full venue hire when you want the occasion to feel entirely yours.
Tell us about your date, approximate guest numbers and the kind of day you imagine. We can talk through the areas available and how in-house catering can fit the celebration. Ask our events team about wedding packages, current inclusions and the spaces available for your date.
Parties and private events
Birthdays, anniversaries, reunions and other milestones deserve time to enjoy the people around you. Our large bayside venue welcomes families and groups, whether you are planning a relaxed meal together or an event that takes over a dedicated area.
Start with the atmosphere you want: the dog-friendly front deck facing the bay, the main dining room, or the back deck with poolside views. We can discuss what suits your group and the time of day. Lunch is served Friday to Sunday and dinner seven nights, so there are ways to gather across the week.
Function and event packages
Bring the food into your event plans from the beginning. Our function and event packages offer in-house catering for celebrations of different sizes and styles. Explore seated dining, canapé and grazing options with our events team, and discuss the setting and service that suit your occasion.
The 2025 Functions and Events Guide introduces our packages, menus and venue spaces. Ask our events team for current options, inclusions and a quote for your date. Share your approximate guest numbers and any dietary requirements so we can talk through the possibilities.
Easy for your guests to find
Guests will find us at 469 Esplanade in Torquay, Hervey Bay, about 20 steps from the beach. Free street parking is available nearby, although spaces can be limited at busy times. Families and large groups are welcome, and dogs can join you on the front deck.
If some guests are travelling, give them the address and a little extra time to arrive, settle in and take in the view. If you have questions about which area would suit your occasion, include them with your enquiry. We would rather understand your plans before suggesting a space.
