“We had the pleasure of attending a family celebration at Lucia’s by the Sea recently, and it was nothing short of fantastic. This venue has amazing views. The food was abundant and delicious, great wines and the customer service from all staff was excellent. The seating was comfortable, and the serving of each course was spaced out so that there was no rush. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. Our family had a fabulous time here. A great experience.” — Sally T.

Ava and all the staff were so easy to communicate with and really made everything so easy. Any ideas I had were made possible and no crazy costs added on by the venue. Everyone was so nice and honestly just let us have so much fun on the day which I valued so much.

Lucia's was an absolutely fantastic venue to host our Wedding reception! Our wedding was nearby at the Botanic Gardens in January of 2022. My wife and I, could not have been more satisfied with the venue, the food and service. I highly recommend Lucia's for any couple looking for a high quality venue, with amazing seaside views, amazing food, and great personalized service at a very affordable cost. A very special thank you to Gabrielle, who took care of us from the first day. She was amazing! Very understanding, great communicator, flexible, provided options and guided us through the entire process. Thank you to Andrea, the owner, who is genuinely caring person and a great host, and to all the staff! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! You made our wedding day, a day we will never forget.

Hi Israel & Jennifer, thank you so much for your kind words! Andrea, myself and the whole team are very grateful. We hope we will see you again soon, and that you have been enjoying this year so far.

June 2022

Thank you so much to the entire team at Lucia’s. We chose to have our wedding held there and we could not fault anything from our first meeting till the wedding night. We have had so much fantastic feedback from our guests particularly about how amazing the food and service was. Nothing was a hassle for them and they were able to accommodate for all of our requests and vendors. A special thank you to Gabi who was amazing to deal with. She took everything in and executed our vision on the night. We can’t wait to return to enjoy many more special occasions at this beautiful venue. Highly recommend!

My husband and I had a lunchtime wedding reception here and it was perfect! The staff were so wonderful and easy, with fabulously helpful suggestions. The food was amazing, the drinks package was exactly what we were looking for (with such a great range) and the price was unbeatable. The venue itself is gorgeous with spectacular ocean views and it is perfectly situated in Wollongong. We could not have been happier with our choice in venue, or how the day ran. Extremely highly recommended and we love that we can go back there for lunch or dinner to enjoy their beautiful food and remember our special day.
