My husband and I had our wedding at Zest and we could not have asked for a better venue. Not only was the location great but the staff, service and food was exceptional. All our guests were impressed. I highly recommend Zest!!

Anushika! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. It was an absolute pleasure working with you and Dorian. Wishing you the most amazing marriage :)

June 2017

Absolutely amazing venue for our wedding. Maree was great leading up to the wedding. Sean was lovely - making sure we were well fed and everything was running smoothly on the night. Food was amazing, venue looked spectacular with our minimal adornments. Food stations superb. Wish friends would have their wedding here so we can enjoy more of the food. Loved it.

Thanks for such a wonderful review Alison! It was such a pleasure to look after you and your lovely husband Mark, and deliver your dream wedding. Wishing you both a happy marriage!

May 2017

I could not have wished for anything better. All our guests raved about the food and said that it was the best food that they have had at a wedding. Very attentive staff that tailored made everything to our wishes. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

Yay Lucy! I am so glad you had an amazing time! It was an absolute delight to work with you both! Happy One Year Anniversary for a week (and a bit) ago! :)

April 2024

Zest was an absolute amazing venue! The food was amazing (I would highly recommend the extended canapes and dessert canapes option) and the venue created a super intimate setting and mood for our guests. Rafaela was also super helpful in the lead up to the wedding with the run sheet and helped keep the whole process relatively stress free. My only regret is not having enough time to enjoy more of the food but hopefully we'll be back for a friends wedding in the future!

From the very beginning, every email was answered promptly, ensuring a smooth planning process. Rafaela and Tia, who assisted us throughout, were an absolute delight to work with, always keeping us informed and guiding us on what needed to be planned. The food provided at the venue was not only amazing but also received rave reviews from our guests, who thoroughly enjoyed every bite. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our choice of venue, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and delicious wedding experience!

I'm considering a midweek or friday/sunday wedding... Should I?

Please help! Is it worth the savings to have a day other than saturday?

Zest Waterfront Venues - Boathouse at The Spit, Mosman

Friday evening weddings are perfectly successful and will save you a significant amount of money at Zest venues. Another useful way to save is to find a weekday before a public holiday -we just did a wedding last Thursday night before Australia Day. About 30% of our weddings are midweek.
