•Why you'll love Orso Bayside
- Elegant waterfront venue on Sydney's Middle Harbour with panoramic views, private beach, and resident pelicans for memorable events.
- Versatile spaces with flexible tables, private jetty for boat arrivals, and convenient car parking options.
- Indulge in a culinary feast on the private balcony, enjoying sea breezes and the sound of waves.
Orso Bayside is superbly positioned on Sydney’s Middle Harbour, adjacent to the Spit Bridge in Mosman. Elegantly appointed and with a spectacular marine panorama of sailing boats, pleasure craft and cruisers on Middle Harbour, Orso boasts an abundance of natural light through clear floor-to-ceiling glass expanses and can cater for functions of up to 250 guests.
Orso is found on the absolute waterfront, with its own beach, jetty and deck – as well as a resident family of photogenic pelicans paddling outside at most times. In keeping with its origins as a boatshed, guests can arrive at Orso by boat and tie up at Orso’s private jetty, or utilize ample car parking on either side of Spit Road.
The venue's rectangular tables allow a flexible number of guests per table to enjoy intimate conversation without missing out on the spectacular water view. Orso’s design features are muted to better reflect its special waterfront surrounds. A sea of white damask-covered tables, outdoor canvas awnings; natural carpet, sand-hued border tiles and polished timbers emphasize the scene. Lighting is deliberately soft, utilising a special sail device that nods to yacht sails and the curvilinear forms of the hulls moored in front of the function centre. The function centre at Orso is fully air-conditioned, complete with a large private balcony and jetty overlooking the beach and the water. This stunning waterfront wedding venue will provide you with the personalised service events required, whether on a wedding day or birthday.

Reviews for Orso Bayside
Sana Sanai
We had our wedding their, one of the best venues for 120-140 guests. We loved their food and their services as well as their event manager was such a great assistant. We were really happy about the place, everyone loved the beach view. Good Dj, good lighting ✨️

We recently held our wedding at this venue. While the location and view were stunning, the service on the day was extremely disappointing. 1. Despite prior discussions with Orso, the chef refused to serve the food we brought, behaving unprofessionally and rudely. 2. Basic service was lacking—tables weren’t properly set, water wasn’t provided, and overall staff assistance was poor. 3. The seating arrangement we had planned was incorrect, causing unnecessary confusion. Additionally, they lack coordination of your wedding plans with very slight help. They wouldn’t contact us regarding details, unless we visited their place. For the price we paid, we expected much better service. If you’re looking for a hassle-free wedding experience, I’d recommend considering other venues. The view is lovely, but unfortunately, that’s the only redeeming factor.

What a beautiful venue! The team at Orso made our wedding so unforgettable! Adrianna, Caroline & all the wait staff went above and beyond to cater for our requests and all the guests. The feedback we got was that this was one of the best weddings they had ever attended & that the staff at Orso really made the guests feel very special and privileged. Their attention to detail with dietaries and ensuring all guests were served promptly and in a classy fashion. The food was amazing, view impeccable. Thank you for making our vision come to life!

We had our daughter’s wedding at Orso Bayside and wow what an amazing night! From the beginning we received exceptional service , Adrianna organised everything building up to wedding and was fantastic, nothing was a bother. On the night the manager and staff were incredible and everything flowed to perfection. We received amazing feedback from our guests, not only about the venue ,but also the food. Thank you Orso for making the night a great success .Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding venue.
