WHAT WE REALLY THINK ABOUT THIS VENUE
Event Weddings have been planning weddings at Dockside venues since 2013 and is a particularly strong option for couples planning events with 150+ guests. Our couples like the fact that this venue is at the heart of Darling Harbour, this venue brings the buzz and vibes of Sydney city nightlife, and you don't have to share your own exclusive balcony. There are a range of public transport options and carparks available. Being in central Sydney, there are a number of nearby indoor and outdoor locations for a wedding ceremony. Despite the location, the per person price can be very competitive particularly for couples who are flexible with dates. We rate the food as being on par with expectations for venues in its same class and price range.
OUR TIPS FOR THIS VENUE
* Flexibility on seasons, dates, lunch/dinner can substantially impact on final budget.
* There may be some Event Weddings recommended Contract notes and additions for this venue before booking.
* Always allow for a 10-15% buffer for incidentals
