Around  50% of  brides these days like to skip the church tradition and hold their ceremony alfresco—in a park, by the water or if you are lucky enough, at their reception venue.

Dockside Group have been holding ceremonies at our venues now for many years and have the added  benefit of having venues set in beautiful locations, right on the harbour with options for indoor and outdoor setting. Our wedding team is experienced in creating the perfect ceremony, with connections to some of Sydney’s best celebrants and are experts at  seamlessly leading your guests on to the reception.

Our venues all have space to hold your ceremony, followed by your reception. For example, we can cater for a ceremony at L’Aqua on the terrace and guests can then move inside for a sit down meal and formalities. Similarly, you can hold a ceremony in Gold Room and move down stairs to your large reception at Dockside. The possibilities are endless. Guests and bridal parties are often pleasantly surprised when they don’t need to travel after the ceremony and are literally served a celebratory drink once the bride and groom have said their vows.

Enjoy the convenience of a Dockside Group ceremony and reception, call our team today on 1300 115 116 to discuss your plans.

Last year’s event was a sell-out and the group raised over $80,000 to support country women affected by breast cancer. This year, all funds raised will help women access accommodation and support in Sydney.

A cancer diagnosis in the country can result in weeks away from home, children and friends and up to $8,000 in expenses just to access treatment. In some cases, there are patients who refuse treatment altogether because of the personal and financial burden involved.

To secure your seat at the event and find out more, please call 1300 226 277 or email admin@canassist.com.au.
