We were very happy with the style and function of this venue, it's a beautiful setting in a fantastic location that was not one many of our guests had visited before! On-site hotel rooms were also very handy for us and some of our guests.

The Royal Automobile Club team were amazing. No request was too hard for them in the lead up which gave me the confidence that on the day anything could be managed should it go wrong. The venue has a beautiful old world elegance, table settings beautiful and the food was delicious. But it was the positive can do attitude of all the team there that stood out for us.

We would have missed this venue because of its unseemly exterior and hidden location, however, the moment we walked in, we knew it was the perfect venue. With its high embroidered ceilings and a view of the Harbour Bridge, the elegant decor was perfect for our wedding. The staff were friendly and accommodating and the food was satisfactory. It was also convenient to have the accommodation in the same venue.
