What fantastic venues we have here on the Northern Beaches for that most special of days …your wedding day.
Over the last two weeks I have visited and spoken to wedding co-ordinators of some exciting new venues, as well as some old favourites.
The Mosman Skiff Club at The Spit, is an amazing new venue with a back drop of Middle Harbour to die for. It also has so many plan B alternatives if the weather fails you with walls and glass windows and doors that simply slide away making all sorts of wonderful areas possible for both small and large weddings.
An old favourite has to be The Bathers Pavilion at Balmoral, with the Island and The Rotunda as a possibility for the ceremony, as well as the amazing Terrace at the Pavilion itself, boasting a panorama that is simply breathtaking.
A new discovery for me was Mosman Art Gallery, which houses what used to be an Anglican church and has the most beautiful stain glass windows you could ever hope to see… it truly is a gem and for those of you wanting a church wedding without it being a church wedding this is an answer.
Then the exciting news that I discovered, was that St. Patrick’s Cathedral, which is now managed by ICMS, is now finally able to hold non-religious weddings in the grounds……..can you imagine being married where Nicole Kidman tied the knot!!! Nina the wedding co-ordinator at ICMS is as excited about the change of policy as I am and has already started taking bookings. This certainly is going to be a venue very much in demand.
Another fantastic venue that is hoping to open in late January is the Manly Pavilion. Again right on the harbour front at Manly and a very short walk for your guests, from Federation Point and Dalwood Beach, both of which are very popular spots for weddings. The Manly Pavilion once again offers you, should you need it a fantastic plan B if the weather fails you.
Hope you enjoy checking them out.
