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.
I had my wedding at Sergeants Mess in Dec 2023, and I cannot speak more highly of the Sergeants Mess team. Lily was our coordinator and was extremely organised and professional, keeping us on track with next steps even though we didn’t have a planner. We loved the ceremony spot and people raved about the venue, from the view and balcony, to the appetizers and cocktails, to the main meals and late night food options. Thank you!
What a beautiful location with jaw dropping views of the water. I cannot thank Lily and Abby enough for the professionalism and hospitality throughout the planning process and the evening on our wedding. Lily was very easy to get in touch with and such a kind person who did not find any question to be a hassle. She was punctual in terms of getting back to us promptly as well as any meetings we had. Abby was also so lovely and organised on the day of our wedding. She made herself known to myself, my Husband as well as all parents and bridal party. She came to check in on us regularly and was very thorough and clear about the timeline of events. All the wait staff and bar staff were nothing but wonderful to everyone. I have asked my guests about their experience and there has been nothing but the highest of praise and compliments. The food (inc canapés) were delicious and cooked/prepared to such quality standard. The ceremony, reception, bar and entry area were set up to what we had imagined it to be which made the day stress free. We would recommend anyone who is getting married or holding a special event to check this place out. You won't be disappointed.
We held our Wedding reception at Sergeants Mess and it was the easiest decision we made! We immediately fell in love with the venue - the view is stunning, the location feels private, and while the dining room is spacious, it feels intimate and inviting. The planning process was seamless. Communication with Lily was excellent, she promptly answered all of our questions and catered to all of our needs. The food was phenomenal, all of our guests loved the food! On the day, our venue manager Brooke and bridal attendant made sure we were well looked after throughout the night. Thank you Sergeants Mess for making our Wedding so special!
A absolutely stunning location for any special events you want to host. Everyone who attended the milestone birthday celebration for my partner loved the venue and the views. And the food received high praise as well. Thank you and everyone at SM for executing the perfect event. The event coordinator Brooke was an absolute pleasure to chat with and plan the special day for my partner’s milestone birthday. She helped me select the perfect menu and even ensured the floor plan was to my specific needs. Special shout out to William who helped with so many small things on the day it felt like a smooth operation for me. Would definitely recommend SM to anyone looking to add that extra oomph to their event and elevate the celebrations.
