About The Anchorage Port Stephens

Located on the Corlette marina in Port Stephens, The Anchorage Hotel & Spa offers a tranquil, all‑in‑one wedding resort. Set amid salt‑laden breezes and shimmering waters, the property provides waterfront ceremony locations, reception rooms, boutique accommodation and a day spa. Brides and grooms can wake up to water views, enjoy pampering at Spa Lucca and celebrate with their guests without leaving the resort.

Anchorage hosts weddings of up to 80 seated guests or 150 guests for cocktail‑style celebrations. Indoor ceremony options serve as backup in case of rain. Couples are welcome to bring their own florists or stylists, though the events team offers full planning support, including menu tastings, supplier coordination and on‑the‑day setup. Accommodation packages include group rates and exclusive venue hire for weekend weddings.

The resort's atmosphere is serene and picturesque, with the marina and calm bay creating a romantic backdrop for photos. Guests can sip cocktails on the terrace while watching boats drift in, and the gentle sound of water lapping at the shore sets a relaxed tone. With everything located in one place — ceremony, reception, rooms and spa — Anchorage Port Stephens offers a stress‑free coastal wedding experience.
