We were fortunate enough to have held our wedding reception at Salsa and WOW is all we can say. From start to finish, everything was expertly handled and made the evening so incredibly seamless. From the staff and service to the food and of course, the location - we couldn't fault a single thing! Every single person who attended has complimented how incredible the food was and how fantastic the service was. The staff were beyond helpful in setting things up for us and also packing up, they made sure everyone's drinks were topped up and the food was phenomenal. Salsa was the perfect place for a tropical Port Douglas wedding and we would recommend it to everyone. You can't go wrong with Salsa! A special thank you to Rhys, Sophie and the team for making our day so perfect - you guys are the best!

It was an absolute pleasure to host your special day, your guests were amazing and so easy to take care of. All the best to you for the coming years, maybe for a cheeky anniversary dinner! Warm wishes, Rhys & Team Salsa

February 2020

We had our wedding reception at Salsa Bar and Grill and we could have been happier with everything. Salsa has always been a favorite restaurant for us so that made the initial decision easier. However what made everything so perfect was how easy the staff made it for us. We had a small wedding so only took half the restaurant. Salsa arranged for a curtain to be hung to separate us from the rest of the restaurant, giving us a private feel but also being open to the street view. I have a number of friends who keep telling everyone it was the best wedding they have been to and when I ask why a big part of it was the reception, selection and quality of food and the exceptional service from the staff. Thanks for making our special day such a great event!

Good afternoon Tony & Ross, firstly thank you for choosing the Salsa Bar & Grill to be a part of your special day. Thank you so much for recognizing our staff as they are the reason we are who we are. We hope to see you both again soon for a cocktail or celebrity lunch.

April 2020

AMAZING! Salsa bar went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. Shortly before our wedding we had a huge family tragedy and nearly had to postpone our wedding. The staff upon hearing our news were nothing but accomodating. Our wedding thank goodness went ahead and I could not have been happier. The food was incredible, all the guests commented about how amazing it was. But probably the stand out from all of our guests and myself (apart from the food) was the service and their attention to detail. I had some of my guests come up to me the following day and let me know that their waitress was finishing her shift for the evening and came over to the table to thank them for being wonderful and wish them all the best for the evening and even introduce the staff member who would be taking over. How incredible!!!
