We had our intimate wedding up on the Gili Rooftop and it was honestly the dreamiest rooftop, with such a breathtaking view! Brooke was our event organiser and she seriously make it such a seamless process to plan a wedding! She never took no for an answer, and she always made sure she was able to make my vision come to life! Suchona was my bridal attendant and she always made sure I looked picture perfect! Thank you again for making our wedding day so so special! We highly recommend this all inclusive venue, which had a breathtaking view, accommodation on-site, parking right outside, delicious food and most importantly, amazing staff!

We recently photographed a wedding at Taronga Centre and were completely taken by the views and golden hour light.The setting is elegant, the staff were seamless to work with, and every detail felt polished. A standout Sydney venue!! IG @taylorburtonweddings

We held my daughter's wedding at the Terrace facility, and we would absolutely recommend this venue. The Staff: Service and Preparations were first class. And of course, the view back across Sydney Harbour is amazing. The facilities are well equipped for all requirements; (including bridal suite with private bathroom). It was an amazing time for all

Weddings at Taronga Centre seem to have a redeeming quality in the form of a nice view. However, the mediocre food might not make up for it entirely. The appetizers were okay, but nothing spectacular. The presentation was nice, but the flavors were lackluster. The choices listed 3 options, but most of them tasted bland. The entrees were similarly average, with no standout dishes that left a lasting impression. The portions were generous, but the flavors were unremarkable. The quality of the ingredients was passable, but they weren't prepared in a way that really made them shine. The desserts were a little better than the main courses, but they still didn't wow me. The selection was limited, but the options that were available were fairly tasty. They were a nice way to finish off the meal, but not something that I would go out of my way to order again. Overall, while the food wasn't amazing, the nice view of the function room made up for it somewhat. The service was prompt and courteous, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

An Unforgettable Wedding at Taronga Event Centre, Sydney We recently celebrated our wedding on 8th August 2025 at the Gili Rooftop, and it was nothing short of magical. From start to finish, the entire experience was flawless — the location overseeing the Sydney harbour and Opera house, the service by Wait staff, who knew exactly what everyone could and could not eat, telling us in a personalised way, all exceeded our expectations and even beyond our wildest imagination. The Food was outstanding. Complimented by the Service. Our Guests enjoyed it. So did we as hosts. Thank you! The venue itself is breath-taking, offering iconic panoramic views of Sydney Harbour that made the perfect backdrop for our special day. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the stunning scenery, both during the ceremony and later in the evening when the city lights glittered across the water. Thankfully the Rain held off till after 8PM so we had a lovely time on the rooftop Balcony. A heartfelt thank you to the Taronga Events team for their exceptional service: Lauren (Sales Team) — From our very first enquiry, Lauren was friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the planning process. Her prompt communication and genuine care set the tone for everything that followed. Brooke (Wedding coordinator) - She was on the ball with the event. Aswini (F&B Supervisor) — Ensured every aspect of food and beverage service ran smoothly. I requested a certain Alcohol to be changed and she managed it with prompt attention. The menu was beautifully presented, delicious, and perfectly timed, with Aswini and her team were there, knew who had any food restrictions etc, making sure every guest was looked after. Thank you Aswini! Sara (Bridal Assistant) — Coordinated our wedding day logistics with warmth and professionalism. She went above and beyond to make our photo sessions around the Zoo memorable, especially the enchanting shots by the Giraffe enclosure — truly a highlight for us. Thanks for being very Nice and to get us the BEST photos with the Giraffes. You went beyond your Job description! Rimsha (Bartender) — Friendly, welcoming, and attentive, keeping the drinks flowing and spirits high all evening. And not forgetting all the People in background, like the Chefs, Administrators, Management etc. Everyone deserves an Applause. Thank you. A very kind word of note to Taronga Docs team - There are a few things that could have been improved - two things especially that come to my mind - make the booking process and selecting the F&B easy. Inclusions and exclusions should be spelt out clearly. Just humbly saying - I was confused by the process. And 6 separate PDF attachments in every email by your team. No one can read all that stuff especially when they run into a few pages. When I have a "Big Day" planned - there are a 100 moving things to take care from this side of the fence btw. I took my chances not reading all the print to the nth degree and sort of regretted it on my special day. "Johnny Walker Red label" Whisky was on the Shelf. Whisky and Spirits need to be Quality. RED LABEL should be DEFINITELY off your Menu (it slipped into mine). That is not for a venue like yours. It's the Cheapest Whisky. Atleast it should be Gold Label as a minimum for your Venue class. I would have been ridiculed for this "Johnny Walker Red Label" inclusion as the ONLY Whisky, by my friends for a Lifetime :) thankfully I asked Aswini to take it off and she did it! Thankfully. Jack Daniels (JD) was a better, respectable option. Again kudos to your F&B staff who managed to get some alternate stuff out there quickly. We stayed the night at Taronga retreat, which I would also highly recommend, especially after an exhausting, fun-filled evening! My wife said the Brekky was outstanding, and so were the Views of the Sydney harbour. We couldn’t have asked for a better team or a more beautiful venue. Thank you Taronga!
