A fabulous Murray River experience for your guests
How exciting for your guests, to attend your wedding or function in one of the most significant and popular heritage towns in the nation!

Echuca-Moama - only 2 ½ hours north of Melbourne’s International Airport - was the hub of the famous historic paddlesteamer trade of the late 1800s.

Today, our twin towns offer unique experiences such as paddlesteamer cruises (including dinner cruises), tours of the restored Port of Echuca, heritage attractions, top restaurants and wineries, pubs and cafes, shopping for books, antiques and gifts, entertainment, festivals, and world-class water and land-based sports – all in a climate with more days of sunshine than the Gold Coast!

Your guests or delegates and their partners will love the wealth of wonderful activities they can undertake in their spare time. And you’ll love the peace of mind of knowing every last detail of your function is under control.

Weddings

When it’s the day you’ll remember for the rest of your lives….make it Moama Bowling Club.

The Venue
Recently remodeled, The Venue is a must-see. Featuring stunning colours and furniture, it can accommodate up to 200 guests at tables, with a spacious dance floor and use of the stage if you require.

We will prepare your reception with décor to dazzle the senses. Lit with the glow of lamps and candles, perfumed with flowers, enhanced by soft background music, The Venue presents beautifully. It is a place designed for your guests to relax and celebrate and to share your joy as you embark on life’s journey together.

The Pavilion
For the shorter reception where a sit-down meal is not required, the sleek and simplistic elegance of The Pavilion and Piano Lounge is perfect.

Anchored by a magnificent Tree of Life artwork, a realistic redgum in metal, this area features soaring walls, natural light and the quiet neutrals of stone, timber, leather, wicker and fabric.

The patterns and textures are symbolic of the beautiful natural bushland and waterways found along the Murray. No other venue has the unique look and feel of our Pavilion Bar.

Already spacious, the Pavilion Bar opens to an outdoor terrace for extra enjoyment.

Your guests will love the freedom to move around, wine glass or cocktail in hand, enjoying your choice of canapés, finger food, and shared platters.
