Riva St Kilda is the waterfront function venue at the St Kilda Marina on Marine Parade, where St Kilda meets Elwood on Port Phillip Bay. The Marina Room seats up to 180 for a reception, 150 with a dance floor, or holds 400 for a cocktail party, and ceremonies for up to 150 run indoors or outside with the marina and the bay behind the couple. There is a private courtyard over the marina and a bayside lounge bar that stays open late.
Veri photographed Markala and Gavin’s wedding here. A bayside venue like this makes a full day simple: a ceremony by the water, portraits on the foreshore and among the boats, and the reception a few steps away, all without a car between locations. Some couples arrive by boat through the marina, which is an entrance worth photographing.
