Glenelg Pier Hotel
- From: From $145 p/head
About
Overview & Vibe
The Glenelg Pier Hotel sits right on Holdfast Promenade with the sand of Glenelg Beach at its steps — Adelaide’s classic beach-wedding address, where ceremonies happen at sunset on the shore and receptions glow above the water.
Setting & Style
Events by Coast runs the hotel’s light-filled beachfront rooms for 10 to 300 guests — white-floral banquets, long tables in the sea light, or cocktail parties spilling onto the sunset balcony with the jetty framed in every window. Beach ceremony packages handle the shoreline vows (with indoor backup), and the couple stays the night at the adjoining Oaks Plaza Pier with breakfast in Coast the next morning.
Ideal For
Couples wanting a true toes-in-the-sand Adelaide beach wedding with the reception literally across the promenade.

- Packages $145 / $160 / $180 per person (minimum 60 guests); intimate weddings from $60pp (minimum 12); beach ceremony packages from $1,000.
- Packages include couple’s accommodation at Oaks Plaza Pier (subject to availability), breakfast, menu tasting and private parking.
- 18 Holdfast Promenade, Glenelg — the tram from the city stops at Moseley Square nearby.
