Capacity and Venue Types

The Fairmont Miramar Hotel wedding capacity varies depending on which space you would like to have your event in. This hotel has a variety of different spaces that you can use for your wedding, all of which have stunning views and an elegant atmosphere. Ceremony capacities are 300 indoors and 400 outdoors, and reception capacities are 400 indoors and 500 outdoors. If you would like to host a standing cocktail hour, the capacity is 600 indoors or 1000 outdoors.

There are five unique wedding spaces within the Fairmont Miramar Hotel and Bungalows. The Starlight Ballroom is the largest event space, and it’s also the most extravagant. It has views of the Pacific Ocean, as well as the hotel’s signature majestic fig tree, and makes for a memorable backdrop for your ceremony. The Wedgewood Ballroom is a bit more traditional and is very versatile, so you can adjust the atmosphere to accommodate your unique style.

There are also three outdoor wedding venues to choose from at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel, and photos don’t quite do justice to this incredible atmosphere. For those who prefer an intimate wedding venue, you can opt to get married on the Sunset Terrace, which offers some of the best views of the Pacific Ocean. If you would prefer a very lush, green space for your wedding, you can also marry at the Miramar Gardens, which are located among the charming Fairmont Bungalows. This space is a bit more secluded for those who want a private wedding space. Finally, the Front Drive is a more dramatic outdoor space that works equally well for a ceremony or a reception. It is situated under the Moreton Bay fig tree, creating a totally iconic backdrop for your celebration.
