Wrest Point
About
Overview & Vibe
Wrest Point rises beside the River Derwent at Sandy Bay, three kilometres from the Hobart CBD — Tasmania’s grand entertainment landmark, where sixteen event spaces, in-house chefs and a hotel tower put an entire wedding weekend under one roof on the water.
Setting & Style
The Boardwalk Gallery is the wedding heart: 520m² of floor-to-ceiling windows directly on the Derwent — 200 guests on rounds, 250 on long tables or 260 cocktail-style, with theming to taste. Celebrations scale up through the art-deco Derwent Room to the Tasman Room’s 540-guest banquets, and every space comes with built-in AV, professional kitchens and dietary-flexible menus. Guests finish the night upstairs in the hotel, with the marina and mountain out the morning windows.
Ideal For
Couples wanting a full-service waterfront hotel wedding — ceremony, reception, accommodation and after-party without moving the cars.
The Need-to-Knows
- Boardwalk Gallery on the waterfront: 200 rounds / 250 long tables / 260 cocktail / 170 theatre.
- Sixteen event spaces up to the Tasman Room (540 rounds, 800 cocktail; 1,650 theatre opened to Plenary Hall).
- In-built AV, screens, sound and WiFi; professional chefs accommodating a range of dietary requirements.

Standout Feature
The Boardwalk Gallery’s angled glass wall — “doesn’t get much closer to the River Derwent” is the venue’s own promise.
