Beachfront views are popular backdrops for many wedding photos, but what about the reception?
Located across the road from North Beach in Wollongong, the Novotel Northbeach is a popular destination for wedding receptions.
Novotel Northbeach's marketing manager Kellie Brady believes the hotel offers both the wedding party, and guests, a great venue due to its location.
``There are so many locations that they can have photos taken around the hotel, so it works quite well for them," Ms Brady said.
The hotel's proximity to Belmore Basin and Wollongong Harbour offer wedding parties a choice of great locations for photos, while the hotel's lounge area offers guests a place to relax between the ceremony and reception.
The Novotel has wedding coordinators who work with couples to plan a reception that accommodates their needs.
``We do a complete package," Ms Brady said.
``It includes the meals, beverages, the room, down to the white chair covers with gold bows, tulle draped across the ceiling of the room, and flowers,"
``We can even do the wedding cake if they wish us to. We can tailor a package inclusive of everything. We can even recommend photographers, and also celebrants, if (the couple is) interested in getting married at the hotel."
The hotel has about 90 weddings in its 12 function rooms throughout the year, and Ms Brady recommended couples make an appointment with one of the wedding coordinators to discuss their plans
She said the coordinator would provide a package tailored to suit their requirements, budget and tastes.
