Packages
Top Cat’s brand-new Mediterranean Luxe Fine Dining menu is full of scrumptious Modern Greek food. You’ll find Crab & Fetta Cigars with Ouzo Mayo & Caper Meringue, Zucchini Kolokithi & Dumplings of Fetta Cheese Mousse, and Milk-Fed Lamb with Aegina Pistachio & Avgolemono Sauce. The menu is mouth-watering with amazing marriages in flavours.
BUT, if you want traditional Greek Food, look no further than our Mezze Platters, Agora Buffet and Table Taverna. The 9-Hour Slow, Cooked Greek Lamb Shoulder, baked in Tomato, Kalamata Olives & Fetta is melt-in-your-mouth amazing! Whilst our wedding coordinators sit on the Horizons Balcony to enjoy a lunch of Village Greek Salad w Crisp Pita Shards, our corporate team are begging for the Athens-Style Mince & Rice Dolmades with Citrus Tzatziki.
Either way you go - Traditional or Modern Greek, you’ll have yia-yia raving about the food she’s grown up cooking, or the food she loves reimagined.
Who would have thought that the Australian blonde haired, blue-eyed Queen of the Kitchen Jenny would specialise in Fijian Indian Cookery? Top Cat’s owner Jenny Eliades lived in Fiji for 15 years, learning the ropes of traditional Indian Catering, both traditional vegetarian and meat. “Her dahl is second to none – authentic and just like we have at home in New Dehli” – VJ, Local Indian Restauranteur of 40 Years. Top Cat offer 2 different Indian Food Packages, but by all means feel free to mix and match the meat and vegetarian varieties! You’ll find the menus full of traditional varieties from the North & South of India, like Punjabi Bhindi Masala & Goan Prawn Curry Ambok Tik. You also have the choice of a Table Tiffin where the meals are presented to each table as a feast like a family-style indoor affair, or you can invite guests to a decadently long beachside buffet, like an elegant picnic of simmering Indian specialities. Don’t discount this blue-eyed girl! She’s the eastern beaches’ Indian Food Goddess.
Head Chef Edmund is Hong-Kong Chinese, and the lavish art of the Chinese Banquet is his specialty. Traditional Chinese Banquets begin with a welcome toast and “cheers” to the newly-weds, then its course by course of Chinese comfort food! Top Cat offers 8, 10 or 12 course Chinese Banquets, with authentic dishes like Deep Fried Whole Barramundi with Homemade Chilli Jam, Caramelised Pork Belly Bun Bao and Sichuan Pepper Spiced Chicken Wings. BUT! It is the contemporary dishes like French Crepes of Peking Duck with Shallots, Cucumber Baton & Spiced Plum Sauce, or our Caramelised Pork Belly with Spiced Paradise Pear, that are the most popular requests! Our wedding team guide you through the menu selection process, ensuring you have the perfect balance of meat and seafood to compliment the vegetarian banquet inclusions. You’ll end your banquet with platters of fresh seasonal fruit and traditional Red Bean Soup.
Top Cat also assist with Traditional Tea Ceremonies before your wedding reception begins. It is our wedding coordinators’ favourite part of the day!
We have a variety of delicious food stations to enhance the overall flair and fun of your family affair! Whether its Souvlaki for the Soul or a Roaming Dumpling Trolley, we have amazing food stations for your guests to enjoy on arrival – think of a fresh Seafood Buffet served on the Horizons Balcony overlooking the water. OR: surprise your guests later in the night with food to recharge their dancing shoes – think Nachos, Tacos and Craft Beer Battered Onion Rings.

Expert Advice
As a wedding professional, Horizons Wedding Venue offers expert advice to help couples plan their perfect day. Ask a question or read their expert advice.
Get Expert AdviceIs a one hour time gap between ceremony and canapes ok?
We are looking to have our ceremony at 3pm, and then canapes to start at 5pm, this means there will be a one hour gap from 4pm-5pm. Looking to have both the ceremony and reception at the same venue. Is it acceptable? To entertain guests, there will be a photobooth along with a few platters of snacks, and a bar tab on soft drinks and coffee/tea. Alcohol will be available at 5pm once canapes start. Or if they prefer, they can explore the venue gardens and take some photos.
Do many Sydney venues allow dogs, or should I get married in a park?
I just want my dog to be in my photos, not at the reception

Hi
Thanks for your question.
Some venues are flexible on dogs - we have an approach of each wedding is different, so always ask the question.

How many guests constitutes a small wedding?
We are thinking about 55 :)
Horizons Wedding Venue
Hi
Thanks for your question, some venues will have a minimum number of guests, and this is so you have enough guests to fill the room to create the right atmostphere for the size of the room. We have a minimum of 80 guests so as you can comfortably fill the room.
Many thanks

Hi Anna
We ost both ceremonies and receptions at our venue and we have ceremonys at 3pm, this usually lasts 30 mins and then there are group photos that happen. Once this has taken place the guests then make their way upstairs and the reception begins, guests are taken care of with canapes and drinks and then the bride and groom are announced in 1 hour later at they have had their photos taken.
This works really well as guests are peckish and need to freshen up and mingle.
Hope this helpes
Thanks
Donna
