•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.

We recently got married at Orso Bayside, on 10/10/25, and to say they were exceptional would be an understatement. Not only is the venue stunning, but from the first meeting with Amy, through to our tasting with Sammy and the delivery on the night by Sebastian and the team, we couldn't fault their professionalism and hospitality. Nothing was too big or difficult, and communication was prompt and clear. We felt they had it under control and met our vision with ease. On the night we were never without a drink in our hand, and the food was absolutely delicious. All our guests have nothing but positive things to say about the event, and that comes down to the team working there. If we could give a higher rating we would! Thanks again Amy, Sammy, and Sebastian!

We had our wedding at Orso on 16/8/25. Amy was wonderful very approachable and super helpful! The food is incredible - you honestly wouldn’t have to do the tasting because it is all so good! I think the place speaks for itself. It’s a perfect wedding venue with the white background and fairy lights. The rest of the staff were wonderful and really made sure we had a special night! The DJ service is really good and played the songs we wanted! Only thing I would say is be careful of the way the contract is written - min adults and min spend is something to understand early.

We have enjoyed our experience with Orso so much - everything was perfect for our wedding! The whole crew was so switched on and provided exceptional service through the night. Meals were delivered fast and nicely. Sammy was really patient and helpful too. And Amy was such a great help to us with everything since the day she started the role! I would highly recommend Orso to anyone who’s looking for a special experience with the scenic waterfront view. Thank you very much the Orso Team for being a part of our special day ☺️ It will be memories that last forever for us.

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.
