Reviews for The Promenade Docklands
Harleen Aulakh
We had the pleasure of celebrating our pre-wedding Indian Sangeet event at the Promenade Docklands in January 2026, and it was spectacular! From the outset, our experience was seamless and our event manager Emily Watts was extremely helpful throughout. We had a seated dinner event with around 230 guests as well as a space for a dance floor and grazing table, and and there was still room for people to move around and mingle, with access to the balconies as well. To top it all off, the location overlooking the harbour is incredible and we received so many compliments from our guests for selecting such an excellent venue. The staff and service on the night were fantastic and we thoroughly recommend holding any event with the Docklands Promenade!

The Promenade Docklands is a great events venue with an amazing waterfront location. The setting really makes events feel special, with plenty of space and beautiful views across the water and city skyline. It’s well set up for markets, festivals, and larger events, with easy access to nearby restaurants, cafés, and public transport. The area is clean, well organised, and has a lively but relaxed atmosphere. A fantastic venue that really shows off the best of Docklands.

We recently had the opportunity to photograph a wedding at this beautiful venue. Wanted to say thank you to the staff for their help on the day. Also, great location for sunset photos, just outside. Look forward to being back here again!

We celebrated our daughter’s 18th here and I’ll do it again in a heartbeat. Emily was fantastic and helped us organise everything smoothly. The staff on the day were exceptional and made our party unforgettable. Our guests were in awe of the stunning views and free flowing alcohol. Very reasonably priced for the quality of service we received. Thank you!

I hosted my 25th birthday with approximately 100 guests at The Promenade Docklands, and my guests had nothing but rave reviews. From the delicious food to the professional, kind, and helpful staff, I couldn’t fault this venue. The city views were absolutely breathtaking, and the Harbourview Room where my event was held was classy and spacious. I felt incredibly supported by the events team, which took all the stress away and helped make the night a huge success. I couldn’t recommend them more!
