•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.

A first class wedding venue ! The location was brilliant with amazing view of water and luxury boats. The foods were fresh and well presented. The service was very attentive and efficient. The place was spacious to hold 120 people comfortably plus a band and a special ice cream van that the host arranged for. All in all, amazing night with beautiful memory for wedded couple, family and the friends - Highly recommended !

The venue has a waterfront location with spectacular views of Middle Harbour. In addition to the aesthetically gorgeous venue and its location, my wife and I had the added pleasure of working with Kareena and Adrianna leading up to and for several days after our son’s wedding.These two ladies were truly amazing. They went above and beyond to assist us and were always available to answer any questions by phone or email. Their attention to detail, friendly disposition and incredible customer service skills ensured that the wedding was a resounding success. We received so many positive comments about the amazing venue and its location, wonderful service and delicious food. We highly recommend Orso Bayside to those of you who are looking for a venue with that ‘wow’ factor.

Just had our wedding reception at Orso. Adrianna, Shashan and team are epitome of professionalism and calm from the very beginning right through to the running of the day. They have range of flexible packages, ours included an awesome DJ, any request could be accommodated. The guests loved the food, the bar, the view from the deck, the intimate feel of the room. Thanks again for making the wedding planning so effortless and smooth !
