Venues Reviews

Beach Road is an amazing venue with stunning views and surrounds, delicious food and wine and fantastic service. To top it off, the wedding coordinator, Adrienne, is phenomenal! She was always so kind and helpful and helped iron out all of the details of our wedding. One of our guests also had a minor medical emergency at the reception, and Adrienne and the Beach Road team were fantastic, calling an ambulance, making sure the guest got medical attention and keeping us all calm. Despite this unexpected event, the night was amazing. Thanks Beach Road Wines x

We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect wedding venue than Bonfire Station. We had our ceremony and reception here in November 2025, and we truly had the best day of our lives thanks to this stunning venue and the team. Bonfire has the most breathtaking views of the Cathedral Ranges, beautiful open spaces, convenient onsite accommodation, and a relaxed atmosphere that our guests loved. The lakeside ceremony location was gorgeous, and the fire later in the evening created a great space to socialise during the breaks from dancing the barn. Florine and the entire team were exceptional. Communication in the lead-up was seamless, and on the day the staff made sure everything ran smoothly and that we and our guests were extremely well looked after, allowing us to completely relax and enjoy the day. The food was outstanding. We chose the Texas BBQ package, and guests are still raving about both the quality and quantity of the food (second helpings, yes please)! We couldn’t recommend Bonfire Station enough for anyone wanting a stunning venue and a relaxed, unforgettable wedding day.

We celebrated our wedding on 7th October 2023 at The Links, Hope Island, and the experience exceeded all expectations. Sarah, the Wedding Events Manager, demonstrated exceptional professionalism throughout the entire planning process. Her clear communication, attention to detail, and supportive approach made organising our special day seamless and stress-free. From the moment you arrive at The Links, you are warmly welcomed by the team. Whether greeted by Sarah, Georgia, or the lovely receptionist Priscilla, the level of service is consistently professional and friendly. The entire team worked collaboratively and delivered an outstanding level of coordination both in the lead-up to the wedding and on the day itself. The venue itself offers a truly beautiful atmosphere, with lush green grass, stunning water scenery, and elegant palm trees creating a breathtaking backdrop. It is without a doubt a destination in its own right at Hope Island. We have also hosted our baby shower at The Links, and it is a venue we will continue to return to for future milestones, as they consistently create unforgettable memories for our family. Our wedding day was truly one to remember. The food was exceptional, and we highly recommend the buffet option as it encourages guests to mingle and enjoy the atmosphere. The service was flawless 10/10. The pricing is well worth the level of service received, and we genuinely cannot fault The Links in any way.

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!

My husband and I held our wedding at white chapel and our reception at Black Hall Kalbar on 11 October 2019. It was a Devine venue. It was all our dreams come true and more. Our package with White Chapel provided an on the day coordinator who went above and beyond anything I could have expected not only on the day but in the lead up to the day as well. Gemma was so well organised and helped keep me sane throughout the whole process! and the whole afternoon/night went off without a hitch! White Hall provide a lot of options to help you out on the day - we used the shuttle bus to help get our guests there and the photography bus which took us to our photography locations with snacks and Champagne! The driver knew the area really well and was a huge help!!

The grove was such a wonderful venue to work with. They were so accommodating and spoilt us on the day. We got many compliments from guests on the food and beautiful the space was. Would recommend this affordable and beautiful venue.

Long Reef Golf Club (LRGC) was the first venue we enquired with and from the start, they were the most hospitable, interpersonal and reasonably priced venue that met out requirements. We looked at about 5 other venues before settling on LRGC. They made the process easy, they had complimentary events such as a wedding tasting experience and each staff member we interacted with was super friendly and helpful. The wedding day itself turned out to be perfect, both with how the reception went and the extraordinary photos captured on the golf course and overlooking the ocean. Also, a majority our guests were not from the Northern Beaches, and had high praise seeing this venue for the first time. A few major shoutouts: to Holly for introducing us to LRGC, to Lucy for coordinating an amazing night, and a special shout-out to Melanie for guiding us through the whole process. I would highly recommend LRGC as a wedding venue!

Very peaceful and beautiful chapel. When I walked down the aisle , I could slowly see the sea right in front of me which was so stunning and made me feel peaceful. The coordinator of the chapel was so helpful, professional, nice as well! This is so important as you don’t want to worry too much on the day so having someone who is experienced and professional to help you on the day is essential! The only side point was the chapel used blue carpet with brown interior , which made not make the photos look really nice if there’s insufficient day light.
