Planning a wedding by the water? Manly Pavilion stands out for couples who want a seamless, beautiful day with minimal fuss. The venue’s ocean views, modern yet timeless decor, and flexible downstairs space create an immediate wow factor, while the team makes planning easy from enquiry to the night. Guests repeatedly compliment the food—high quality, generous portions, and dietary requests well handled—and the service is attentive, calm, and well-organised on the day. The events team coordinates smoothly with external vendors, supports weather contingencies, and ensures bridal parties feel looked after with dedicated attendants. It’s a stylish, stress-free package that delivers on value and memory-making moments.

We cannot recommend Manly Pavillion enough! We had the best day of our lives and couldn’t be happier with how everything went. Sherlie and the team were so attentive, helpful and wonderful to work with. We felt so well looked after and had a lovely bridal attendant on the day. The food was incredible and our guests haven’t stopped raving about it. One of my favourite things about Manly Pavillion was how easy they made wedding planning. We opted to go with the in-house florist, who did such an incredible job with the flowers and made our vision come to life. We also got our cake through them, and each flavour was delicious. We wish we could do it all again! Thank you Boathouse!

From the beginning the Manly Pavilion Team made a huge effort to make this an extremely special and stress free experience. They were very responsive to emails, no question was a problem and they did everything to accomodate our wishes. On the day the team went above and beyond to ensure our guests had plenty of food and drinks and even knew where non alcoholic drinkers were sitting and made sure they were served mocktails all night. The bridal assistant ensured my dress looked great before entering, ensured I had eaten and always had a drink and was just all round such a pleasure. I can’t recommend this venue enough- wonderful team, beautiful views of water and the most delicious food. Was the perfect day.

The team (Sherlie) at Manly Pavilion did the most amazing job with our wedding in September. From enquiry to the wedding day, nothing was missed and they made planning a wedding so easy, seamless and enjoyable. Sherlie made sure everything was perfect on the day and we could not be happier with the outcome. Thank you so much Sig & Morgan

We were so incredibly impressed with Manly Pavilion as our reception venue. We knew the location and the setting was great, and the new floors installed before our wedding completely changed the game. What we were not expecting was the quality of service on the night. The food was exceptional, generous and they nailed all the various dietaries. The staff were on - attentive, proactive and friendly. The venue staff worked really well with all our vendors, even accommodating a nine-piece Sydney Live Music Band! Completely exceeded our expectations and the feedback from our guests has been amazing. Would highly recommend.

The Boathouse group were fantastic! They know what they’re doing and made all the decisions a breeze. Manly Pavilion is so beautiful, you definitely don’t need to go above and beyond on styling as the venue is gorgeous and the simple / base styling was beautiful. They were super organised (we had to move our ceremony there as we had wet weather) and the team were so attentive to us, made sure we had everything we needed. They were also relaxed and let us all have a fun time too. I would 10000% recommend this venue or any of the boathouse group venues.
