The area of beach we use is a small pocket of sand at one end of the main beach, separated from all the activity by a rock pool, so there’s a little more peace and quiet than you’d expect to find with a Sydney beach wedding. The grass area is also comparatively quiet.
Important things to note: This location is everyone’s favourite on a beautiful summers day. While there are undercover areas we use in poor weather if you have more than a handful of guests you may need umbrellas for them if it’s raining (the couple will be in the VIP sheltered space).

Other locations to consider: We also have another location for a Sydney beach wedding- in the eastern suburbs. For other non-beach options (which are probably more suitable in colder months) check out our most popular location on the harbour, or the stunning parks in Homebush, Petersham, Chatswood, Penrith or Parramatta.
