This venue was the best - they were super organised and communicative the whole time so that the wedding itself went through without any glitch. At all times, we were impressed by the level of detail added to our wedding and the care and attention of the staff towards it. We had the best night here for our wedding - the service, food, drinks and dancing were all 10/10.

From the start, L'Aqua were so easy to deal with. Julia answered all our questions and Irene, our Venue coordinator was really helpful and accommodating even with our last minute requests! I found the venue to be flexible and staff on the night were really attentive to all. A huge shoutout to Anju (venue manager) for being so welcoming and friendly - really appreciated it 😊 Our guests commented on how good the food was and how beautiful the Gold Room space was. I highly recommend the Dockside Group and their venue spaces!

They were fantastic to work with, coordinator was very responsive. Beautiful venue, enough space for everything and great balcony with view of the fireworks. Bridal room was great to have that space. Bathroom signage could have been a little better but they were clean The Food was amazing! Was also good for special diets people. Recommended!!

We had the most magical wedding reception at L'Aqua! The Gold Room was absolutely stunning and required very little additional decor - the beauty of the room spoke for itself! Julia, Irene and team were an absolute pleasure to work with and were so responsive to any questions we had along the way. We cannot recommend L'Aqua enough!!

We had our reception at dockside group cockle bay wharf and it was absolutely perfect. We enjoyed our day and the staff were incredible - all the little touches made such a different (including the venue manager reminding us to eat) - the whole process from start to finish was PERFECT!
