By The Package
A selection of packages are offered and if you elect to purchase a beverage package, all beverages noted in the package are made available to your guests for 5 hours at the price shown. The 5 hours commences at your agreed reception commencement time. This all inclusive price allows for the sparkling wine toast if you choose to offer one and is charged per adult. Purchasing by the package gives you the peace of mind of knowing the beverage costs up front.

Should you wish to add extra time to your 5 hour beverage package, please add $6.00 per person to the beverage package price.

On Consumption
You can elect to have the beverages charged on a consumption basis. You will be charged for every bottle that is opened at your wedding and any other beverages such as beer or sparkling wine which are offered to your guests and consumed during the course of your reception. Should you elect to offer a glass of sparkling wine for a toast, this too will be added to your bar tab. Your tab is set up at the bar on the night upon presentation of a credit card.

You can elect to drink the same beverages as offered in the packages or select others from the Hotel wine list, current at the time of your wedding. The current Hotel Wine List can be found on our website at www.portseahotel.com.au or by asking the functions team to send you a copy.

We suggest that you consider carefully your decision in relation to how you will be charged. Please consider that while some guests may only drink a small amount, they may abandon a couple of glasses as this tends to occur when the beverages are offered free of charge to them. While you may have the occasional person who does not drink, please also give thought to those who will take the opportunity to enjoy themselves fully.

You will be asked to select your beverages and your package or consumption payment method two weeks prior to your wedding.

Please be aware, the Portsea Hotel does not accept wedding bookings where basic beverages including Wine, Beer and Soft Drink /Juice are not paid for and arranged by the host. Please note, if spirits are not offered by the host, the guests are welcome to purchase these at bar prices.

Beer Options
The heavy beer in all beverage packages is Carlton Draught or VB as requested.

In the interest of responsible service of alcohol, all guests must be offered the option to drink a light beer.

The light beer available in the Nepean Room can be selected from the Australian beers on tap at the time of the wedding.

The light beer on the Portsea Deck and in the Portsea Produce Café is Cascade Premium Light, served in
stubbies.


Beverage Service
Irrespective of which method of payment (package or consumption) the following service is offered:

Tray drink service is always offered to guests on arrival in the reception venue.

Bottles of Red & White wine are placed on each table. These bottles are replaced as required throughout the evening. If the party at a particular table does not partake in a wine, the bottle is removed and served elsewhere in the room.

If sufficient persons at a table are drinking beer, jugs can be served to the table by the wait staff.

Guests are welcome to approach the bar throughout the wedding to obtain any beverage on offer by the host or purchase any beverage and there is a staff member permanently positioned at the bar throughout the reception.
