Couples consistently share that Apollo International Charlestown delivers a seamless, one-stop wedding experience with beautiful bushland or garden backdrops, an easy flow from ceremony to reception, and plenty of guest-friendly spaces (including convenient onsite accommodation). The standout theme is the wedding coordinator and team—praised for responsive communication, calm reassurance on the day, and going above and beyond with details like dietary needs, service timing, and contingency plans for weather. Food and drinks also receive strong compliments, often described as generous, tasty, and well organised. Overall, guests feel supported, stress is reduced, and value for money is a recurring highlight.

July 2026

100% recommend Vanessa and the Apollo team not only as a wedding venue, but overall service! We stayed at the Apollo three nights- two in the honeymoon suite and one the night before. The venue was beautiful with the bush backdrop which you’d never guess is just 10 minutes from a major shopping centre. Food was amazing, the staff I cannot praise enough as they all went above and beyond to make our day special. Vanessa’s communication as our coordinator was fantastic, frequently checking in months in advance and making sure everything went smoothly on the day. The reception room is right near the ceremony rotunda so guests don’t have to travel with several of ours opting to stay the night. Charlestown square is only 5 minutes drive away for any last minute needs. Vanessa added extra little touches to make our reception area look amazing and we took photos in the greenery. Apollo now offer a package deal which includes everything we had at our wedding and you definitely get more for what you pay- almost everything is already sorted for you so less stress which is always welcomed!

Vanessa and the team were amazing and made our wedding run perfectly. We knew we didn't have to stress with Vanessa on our side and nothing was too much for her.

July 2023

My husband and I got married on the 17th of June 2023 and it was the most magical day. From the moment I contacted Vanessa, it was so easy and she felt like someone I had known forever! Vanessa put up with so much indecisiveness from me and was happy to accomodate to my changes when needed and was happy to make the required changes to suit the style of our wedding. We had a cocktail wedding with a bar tab and had majority of our guests staying at the hotel the night before and the night of the wedding. Our wedding day was absolutely magical, Vanessa checked in all day/night and could not fault anyone or anything. The venue was stunning, we got photos on site and didn't need to leave for anything. Absolutely incredible, I would recommend to anyone!
