Intimate Wedding Receptions at The Rice Den
There's something special about celebrating a wedding with cuisine that tells a tale.
The Rice Den in St. Leonards is where your journey begins. Here, you may try modern takes on classic Cantonese family meals, from inhouse hand made dumplings to live local seafood cooked to perfection. This North Shore wedding venue is perfect for a modest, classy wedding.
The Rice Den blends cultural heritage with modern design to produce an inviting, one-of-a-kind, and memorable space for any size wedding reception in St. Leonards.
Wedding Menus with Contemporary Cantonese Flair
There has to be a feast at every wedding, and The Rice Den makes dining the main event. We make our wedding banquets with ample dishes so that guests may share them and have fun eating and talking together.
The food is a superb mix of old and new styles. You can enjoy steamed Barramundi fillets with ginger, shallots, and herbs, Kung Pao prawns with toasted peanuts and chilli, or dumplings to die for.
We believe every guest should feel included in the experience, and customisation is part of our promise. Explore the full offering on our menu or work with us to design a wedding banquet tailored just for your special day.
Private Dining and Venue Hire Options
The Rice Den can be rented exclusively. Our whole dining space is great for those who wish to plan a special gathering. The space is for up to 80 people, and it still feels like a small intimate venue.
Celebrate Chinese Traditions with Modern Elegance
Many couples want to show off their culture and unique style at their intimate wedding. The Rice Den gives a modern twist to the old Chinese wedding traditions.
Tea ceremonies, when properly designed, have the potential to demonstrate that individuals care about one another and are in a state of unity. Individuals still enjoy enormous dinners with a number of varied foods that bring families together, just like they have for years. The restaurant's modern, sleek design adds to the feeling of flair and newness. Adding red accents to the decor is another way to bring good luck.
This is a modern take on the traditional Chinese wedding setting, which honours the culture and rich history of the couple.
Thoughtful Add-Ons to Enhance Your Wedding Day
Every couple has a plan for their wedding day. The Rice Den has everything you need, including good food, timely service, and a welcoming atmosphere. But we also encourage the little things that make your day.
Some ideas are a dessert table, live music, themed wedding favours, decorating, or setting up a microphone and speakers for speeches that need to be moved. We can also work with other vendors, such as the florist or photographer you like best.
Making sure your Chinese restaurant wedding reception in St Leonards is flawless in every way is important.
