January 2023

The Jackson was a spectacular venue for our Sydney wedding. The beauty of the Harbour was complimented by the luxuriousness of the vessel. We sought both an intimate Ceremony with a party atmosphere for our Reception, and these were achieved seamlessly. The Event Team with the Cruise Director and amazing onboard staff performed above and beyond to accommodate our vision for our perfect day. The attention to detail was impeccable both on the day and for the months of planning leading up. The food was first class both in taste and presentation. Our guests have not stopped raving about their experience on The Jackson.

What an amazing night aboard The Jackson! The styling, fixtures & fittings are so luxurious and everything is beautifully presented. The three course meal was delicious and catered so well for dietary requirements. Staff were lovely to deal with from booking through to looking after our group on the night. A shout out to the team at Divine Events Sydney who created a beautiful look for our dinner. Thank you!
