“We held our morning ceremony and lunchtime reception at Sergeants Mess.  The venue location is perfect. It’s an elegant space with stunning views over the harbour and Eastern Suburbs. The support from the staff leading up to the day was amazing. No question or request was a problem, and dealings were always prompt and professional.  One of the reasons for choosing this venue was that we wanted a restaurant-like experience for our guests, and on the day there was no faulting the service we received.  A key highlight was the food, which was stunning and received rave reviews from our guests. This is a perfect location for a stylish wedding celebration!” — Kevin D.

Great view, amazing food! Service was well above our expectations! This was from the very start when we booked the venue to following up with us after our function. Definitely somewhere I would recommend to friends and family.

This was the most beautiful venue ever! We had our ceremony and reception here and it was incredible. We had so many compliments from all of our family and friends. Communication was great and we had one specific person who we would communicate with which made it so much easier to deal with changes and updates that all comes with organising a wedding.
