Manly Pavilion

Words cannot express how happy we were with our experience at Manly Pavilion and the Boathouse Group team throughout the entire wedding planning process and on the day itself. From start to finish, every member of the team was warm, friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating. I was particularly nervous about planning a wedding, but the team made the whole process feel effortless. They consistently put me at ease and took care of everything that needed to be done, allowing me to actually enjoy the lead-up to our wedding rather than feel overwhelmed by it. A special thank you to Sammy, who was helpful beyond words. Her support, guidance, and attention to detail were invaluable, and I am so grateful to have had her and the wider team by our side during what can be such a stressful time. On the wedding day itself, I was able to truly relax, be present, and enjoy every moment knowing that everything was in such capable hands. The team worked seamlessly behind the scenes to make sure everything ran perfectly. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The waterfront location is breathtaking, especially at sunset, and provided the most beautiful backdrop for our photos. Weeks later, we're still receiving compliments from our guests about how incredible the food, drinks, and service were throughout the evening. One of our favourite touches was having food and drinks brought to the bridal suite, allowing my husband and me to spend some quiet time together and soak in the moment. So many friends had told us that they barely had a chance to eat or spend time together on their wedding day, so this thoughtful gesture meant so much to us. We cannot thank the Boathouse Group team enough for everything they did to make our wedding day so special. They truly went above and beyond, and helped create memories that we will cherish forever. We would recommend Manly Pavilion to anyone looking for a beautiful venue and an exceptional team to bring their dream wedding to life.

I couldn’t recommend having your Wedding at Manly Pavilion enough! From the start of organising to the end of the wedding night, everything went so smoothly. Sammy and the team of the day were an absolute delight to work with. The venue itself is stunning it’s a classy, European waterfront vibes location. Nothing like having your wedding canapés waterside with the sun setting. The food was mouth watering, we didn’t stop getting compliments on how amazing the food was for the canapés and the main meals, we loved the banquet option for our guests. The Margarita hour went down a treat and the staff were attentive to make sure we had enough food and drinks. Everything went beyond any expectations I had and was just so stunning! So thank you boathouse staff! From one over the moon Bride xoxo

Manly Pavillion were simply outstanding from start to finish. It is an absolutely stunning venue that was perfect for the way we wanted our big day to go. The staff on the day were amazing and everything went smoothly without any issues. Big thank you to Sammy from the boathouse group who helped us through the planning process, which made it even better especially with special requests and things we wanted to do on the day to make it that much more special. The food is unbelievable and very good serving sizes, all of our guests were raving about the Lamb shoulder! Our personal fave was the Crab Toast. This venue was everything we hoped for and we couldn't recommend it enough to couples looking at this beautiful location!

We could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding venue than Manly Pavilion. The venue itself is absolutely spectacular and honestly needed very little extra decorating because the space already looks so stunning on its own. We also ordered our flowers through the Boathouse team, which made the whole process incredibly easy and stress-free, and they looked fantastic on the day. Sammy, the events manager, was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She was always very responsive to any questions we had and provided so many helpful suggestions around timelines and room set-ups. On the day itself, she helped ensure everything ran smoothly and made the whole experience feel seamless. The food was absolutely delicious and there was plenty of it — nobody went hungry! The staff at Manly Pavilion were also exceptional throughout the night, constantly making sure guests were looked after with food and drinks. They were especially attentive to us during the evening, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. It really is such a beautiful venue for any special event, and we are so grateful to the whole team for helping make our wedding day so special.

Couldn’t recommend Manly Pavilion highly enough!! Sammy, Kizia and the whole team there are professional, polite and friendly. The team was flexible and accommodated all of our requests. The food was incredible and people are still ringing me about it!! The venue is perfect, set against the water - the best place to get married!!
