A Beachfront Wedding Venue Overlooking Port Phillip Bay and the City Skyline
RealWeddings Guide
The Baths Middle Brighton sits on the Esplanade at Brighton, where Upstairs at The Baths pairs Art Deco heritage with an uninterrupted bay and city outlook — a striking, versatile setting for any celebration, big or small.
Floor-to-ceiling glass windows frame the water on one side, while a wrap-around outdoor deck lets guests take in the same view in the open air. Inside, a nature-inspired palette, Portuguese cork flooring and sleek timber give the open-plan space a relaxed, coastal elegance.
