Such a beautiful outdoor venue. We had both the ceremony and reception at Skypark. The bar had a great variety of drinks to choose from

We could not have chosen a better venue, AJ Hackett was perfect for what we were after. The atmosphere was chilled, the scenery beautiful and the deck was transformed into a lovely reception area. Staff were very accommodating, friendly and were a great help with organising some of the suppliers. The walkway can be a bit much for some of the older guests but AJ Hackett helped organise a lift to get them to the top no worries. Some of our guests choose to bungy jump and swing and was a great ice breaker. Everyone really loved the venue.
