Venues Reviews

Long Reef Golf Club (LRGC) was the first venue we enquired with and from the start, they were the most hospitable, interpersonal and reasonably priced venue that met out requirements. We looked at about 5 other venues before settling on LRGC. They made the process easy, they had complimentary events such as a wedding tasting experience and each staff member we interacted with was super friendly and helpful. The wedding day itself turned out to be perfect, both with how the reception went and the extraordinary photos captured on the golf course and overlooking the ocean. Also, a majority our guests were not from the Northern Beaches, and had high praise seeing this venue for the first time. A few major shoutouts: to Holly for introducing us to LRGC, to Lucy for coordinating an amazing night, and a special shout-out to Melanie for guiding us through the whole process. I would highly recommend LRGC as a wedding venue!

We were recently married at Kings Creek Vineyard and it was perfect! From our first visit Kim & Ian were so incredibly helpful & kind, working with us to make the day exactly what we wanted. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful vineyard views and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. We also loved being able to enjoy such amazing wines throughout the day. Thank you Kim & Ian for helping us make our day so special 💗

Warrawong Estate is an absolutely beautiful venue. It is a hidden gem that has picturesque views, a gorgeous ceremony area, with a gorgeous woolshed that brings romantic rustic vibes. As soon as we viewed the venue we knew it was the venue for us. The team at Warrawong, made planning and preparing for our wedding extremely easy. Rachel was extremely attentive via emails and answered every question we had. As a DIY venue it was fabulous to have the ability to chose our menu, drinks and style our reception with our own personal details. My husband and I are so very grateful to the amazing team at Warrawong estate for helping to make our day so wonderful!

The Boathouse Shelly Beach were great to deal with from the start. From our first meeting we knew we wanted to have our Wedding there. The venue is very special, but the staff take it to the next level. They were so accommodating, efficient and lovely. The staff that worked on the night of our small wedding were excellent. They were friendly, efficient and made the night so wonderful. Everyone commented on how good the food and wine was. We had such an amazing night and can't thank them enough.

Beach Road is an amazing venue with stunning views and surrounds, delicious food and wine and fantastic service. To top it off, the wedding coordinator, Adrienne, is phenomenal! She was always so kind and helpful and helped iron out all of the details of our wedding. One of our guests also had a minor medical emergency at the reception, and Adrienne and the Beach Road team were fantastic, calling an ambulance, making sure the guest got medical attention and keeping us all calm. Despite this unexpected event, the night was amazing. Thanks Beach Road Wines x

We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect wedding venue than Bonfire Station. We had our ceremony and reception here in November 2025, and we truly had the best day of our lives thanks to this stunning venue and the team. Bonfire has the most breathtaking views of the Cathedral Ranges, beautiful open spaces, convenient onsite accommodation, and a relaxed atmosphere that our guests loved. The lakeside ceremony location was gorgeous, and the fire later in the evening created a great space to socialise during the breaks from dancing the barn. Florine and the entire team were exceptional. Communication in the lead-up was seamless, and on the day the staff made sure everything ran smoothly and that we and our guests were extremely well looked after, allowing us to completely relax and enjoy the day. The food was outstanding. We chose the Texas BBQ package, and guests are still raving about both the quality and quantity of the food (second helpings, yes please)! We couldn’t recommend Bonfire Station enough for anyone wanting a stunning venue and a relaxed, unforgettable wedding day.

We celebrated our wedding on 7th October 2023 at The Links, Hope Island, and the experience exceeded all expectations. Sarah, the Wedding Events Manager, demonstrated exceptional professionalism throughout the entire planning process. Her clear communication, attention to detail, and supportive approach made organising our special day seamless and stress-free. From the moment you arrive at The Links, you are warmly welcomed by the team. Whether greeted by Sarah, Georgia, or the lovely receptionist Priscilla, the level of service is consistently professional and friendly. The entire team worked collaboratively and delivered an outstanding level of coordination both in the lead-up to the wedding and on the day itself. The venue itself offers a truly beautiful atmosphere, with lush green grass, stunning water scenery, and elegant palm trees creating a breathtaking backdrop. It is without a doubt a destination in its own right at Hope Island. We have also hosted our baby shower at The Links, and it is a venue we will continue to return to for future milestones, as they consistently create unforgettable memories for our family. Our wedding day was truly one to remember. The food was exceptional, and we highly recommend the buffet option as it encourages guests to mingle and enjoy the atmosphere. The service was flawless 10/10. The pricing is well worth the level of service received, and we genuinely cannot fault The Links in any way.

We cannot recommend Manly Pavillion enough! We had the best day of our lives and couldn’t be happier with how everything went. Sherlie and the team were so attentive, helpful and wonderful to work with. We felt so well looked after and had a lovely bridal attendant on the day. The food was incredible and our guests haven’t stopped raving about it. One of my favourite things about Manly Pavillion was how easy they made wedding planning. We opted to go with the in-house florist, who did such an incredible job with the flowers and made our vision come to life. We also got our cake through them, and each flavour was delicious. We wish we could do it all again! Thank you Boathouse!
