“We held our morning ceremony and lunchtime reception at Sergeants Mess.  The venue location is perfect. It’s an elegant space with stunning views over the harbour and Eastern Suburbs. The support from the staff leading up to the day was amazing. No question or request was a problem, and dealings were always prompt and professional.  One of the reasons for choosing this venue was that we wanted a restaurant-like experience for our guests, and on the day there was no faulting the service we received.  A key highlight was the food, which was stunning and received rave reviews from our guests. This is a perfect location for a stylish wedding celebration!” — Kevin D.

This was the most beautiful venue ever! We had our ceremony and reception here and it was incredible. We had so many compliments from all of our family and friends. Communication was great and we had one specific person who we would communicate with which made it so much easier to deal with changes and updates that all comes with organising a wedding.

Sergeants Mess provided a perfect space to bring together what was important to our day…Being by the water, a ceremony close to the reception, and a reception space that accommodated drums, sparklers, dry ice, great 3 course meal and unlimited wine! Our coordinator Brooke was wonderful with great correspondence over the period leading up to the day. On the night we had some outstanding support from the Venue Manager and a Bride lead to help with any requests - made the evening run so smoothly!

We had the most incredible experience at Sergents Mess for our wedding! Brooke, our coordinator, was fantastic to work with—always responsive and ensuring everything ran perfectly. The venue was super accommodating and flexible, even allowing us to adjust some menu options, which made the whole process stress-free. The views were absolutely stunning, with some of our guests even spotting dolphins from the balcony! Highly recommend Sergents Mess for any special occasion.
