About the Venue

Dockside is a premier event venue situated in the heart of Darling Harbour at Cockle Bay Wharf, just moments away from the Sydney CBD. Boasting sparkling water views of Darling Harbour, Dockside is renowned for its exceptional service, culinary excellence, and versatility.

 

With over a decade of experience in hosting successful events, Dockside is an ideal space for various occasions, including cocktail parties, gala dinners, business events, conferences, school formals, engagement parties, wedding receptions and special occasions. The venue's unique strength lies in its ability to cater to groups of different sizes, ranging from 10 to 1200 people. Dockside's passionate chefs take inspiration from Australian cuisine, presenting guests with delectable, freshly-plated food served alongside a fine selection of beverages.

 

The venue's five unique rooms, wrapped in a large balcony level terrace, can be used individually or combined to form a whole venue. Dockside is a perfect location for wedding receptions, offering breathtaking views of the harbour and first-class catering services from their professional kitchen staff. The venue's large windows allow natural light to flood in, capturing the panoramic views of Darling Harbour, making it an ideal spot for any event.

 

Dockside Darling Harbour underwent a multi-million dollar renovation, led by Australia's most renowned interior designer, Michael McCann of Dreamtime Australia, making it a leading business and social events venue. Wilson Parking at Cockle Bay Wharf provides undercover access, with wheelchair access available.
