•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
Samuel Wagstaff
Our wedding day at Orso was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely relaxed and so well looked after. Every staff member we interacted with was kind, warm, and attentive, and the venue manager was fantastic at keeping us in the loop throughout the evening. Everything ran so smoothly from our perspective, and we’ve had so many guests tell us how blown away they were by the food, the service, and the overall atmosphere. We hadn’t quite anticipated just how much fun everyone would have, but the feedback has been glowing. It was a solid 10 out of 10. Thanks to the team at Orso, our day was not only stress-free and enjoyable, but truly one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. The only downside is how quickly it flew by. We’re so glad we chose Orso. Thank you for the care and effort that went into making our day so special.

Orso was absolutely amazing! Our reception ran so smoothly, the food was amazing and the view is just magical! The fairy lights just make it that much better! The event management was organised and we felt very comfortable on the night, knowing that everything was taken care of! It was the perfect venue for about 140 guests max :)
