We had an amazing experience at Sergeants Mess for our wedding in July. Brooke was incredible from the moment we met until the evening of our wedding. Abby was on hand the night of our wedding and she delivered service like I’ve never had before. All of our guests commented on the delicious food, outstanding staff and beautiful views. We couldn’t have asked for a better team and venue to begin our married life. I would highly recommend Sergeants Mess for your next event, it will be one to remember.

Our wedding Day - 24th August 2024 From the moment we visited Sergeants Mess for our viewing, We fell in love with the venue and the amazing service. I continued to drag my (now) husband to 15 different venues to make sure we had the right one, and we both kept coming back to Sergeants Mess! From the very beginning to the very end nothing was ever a problem and the team couldn’t be anymore helpful. A big thank you to Brooke our event coordinator for making our dream wedding come true, she was so patient and calm and made the whole wedding planning experience a breeze. Another big thank you to William and Abby for all your amazing help on the night of the wedding, from when we arrived to when we left our wedding, everything was taken care of and our wedding went off without a hitch! Our guests continue to talk about how amazing the venue was including the outstanding view, amazing food and impeccable service! Thank you to the team of Sergeants Mess for making our wedding day a special one! Future brides this is your venue!!! Sincerely Mr and Mrs Infanti

Very beautiful venue. Great views, balconies very nice. Acoustics not good for a large event. Food is good, but not their strength. For the price the food is below average. Some dietries weren't catered for well eg: dairy free not given sauce.

My (now) wife and I had a wonderful wedding experience with the team at Sergeants Mess. Planning was well documented and organised, and we had a key contact every step of the way who was responsive and clear on timelines and requirements to make everything a success. The tasting dinner that they offer is a great experience and really helps get everything organised menu-wise, though the food and wine is so good that it’s very hard to pick what to keep! On the day, everything went swimmingly. The amphitheatre outside is glorious and the view and vibe with everyone there is exceptional, especially when you have a string quartet playing on the bar balcony! The staff helping, particularly Abby the co-ordinator on the day, were all exceptional and went the extra mile to help. At one point there was a slight issue with the bride’s dress, and while the bridal party did their best to find a way to fix it, as soon as Abby found out she had the solution in minutes! The food was excellent, and the alcohol selection was very impressive, we were able to serve wines that we really connected with, and everything was well received by the crowd. We are very happy we selected Sergeants Mess for our special day, thanks team!

Take it from myself, a wedding photographer who has worked at this venue many times. Sergeants Mess is one of Sydney's best venues! The views which span 180 degrees looking out over the harbour will provide the perfect backdrop for your wedding and will no doubt be sure to leave a lasting impression on both you and your guests. There are also many incredible photo spots to be found around the venue or down at Chowder Bay (30 seconds down the Rd). The staff are also very accommodating at this venue. I would definitely recommend checking it out.
