It was a nightmare, dealing with the Dockside venue people when I paid the full amount two weeks before the function date. With the current Covid 19 numbers,
We had people dropping out everyday up until the day. In the end we had 40 people not show. As a bride, I was already stressed and the venue made me even more. We asked if they're was anything they could do so we wouldn't be out of pocket or at least have something additional with that extra money that was paid. Genevieve was not compassionate at all and couldn't care less. She didn't want to help at all. I had to fight to get Lenita to give

Planning a wedding during a pandemic was highly stressful but Julia & the team at Dockside were so accomodating, understanding and helpful especially when it came to rescheduling our wedding. Julia was ontop of every little detail leading up to the wedding and ensured the whole process was as stress free as possible. The service was amazing and the food was lovely. Would recommend Dockside to all my family and friends.

Small dance floor, chicken is always dry and only 1 bartender working for entire events. Hasn’t changed in 8 years. Bathrooms are nice.

Absolutely disappointed. My daughter received mashed potatoes and vegetables for a main meal. They said they can cater for her dietary requirements but this is the best they can do. I was asked “ what else would you expect us to serve her “ Overpriced and disgusted with the customer service. Will never recommend this venue. Maybe you need to get some chefs with some skills .

Recently, my daughter & son-in-law had their Wedding at L’Aqua in the Terrace Room and we couldn’t have had the most perfect night. Right from the moment we saw this venue, we knew it was for us with the beautiful views of Darling Harbour from the stunning outside terrace as well as inside the glass windowed venue, choices of menu, and the great communication with their venue manager Julia Protasi. From out first meeting to all our phone calls & emails, Julia has been more than accommodating with the many extra’s & changes we had, especially during two covid postponements. On the day of the

We had our engagement party in the Gold Room at L'Aqua. Communication with the staff was great leading up to the event. We knew exactly what to expect on the day and there were no surprises.
The room itself was beautiful and our guests kept complimenting the space and the vibe. We had an afternoon function and the view of the harbour was just perfect.
The waitstaff were all so friendly and helpful, even looking out for our guests with dietary requirements to make sure they were looked after.
Our event went so smoothly, we could not fault the venue at all! We had such a lovely time and so did

Lenita, Julia and the team at Dockside were nothing short of amazing during the whole process of our Wedding. From having to reschedule due to lockdown to going above and beyond to help us planning the night. We'd highly recommend Dockside to family and friends moving forward. Great facilities, beautiful views, lovely food and amazing service. Thank you for the amazing memories!! James & Lauren Mowad xxxx

Recently had my wedding at one of their venues and wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Very good at sending payment reminders before the date but will not answer your calls after the wedding is over with any problems(Lenita and Julia). Totally reject any feedback or concerns that customers have and want to put blame on others instead of apologising for their mistakes (bunch of liars with no ownership).
Food was poor with undercooked meat and stale bread
Cake was meant to be cut in half with remainder placed in the box provided by the cake provider instead of scattering all the pieces across the

The atmosphere was good , the venue was a bit crowded but otherwise it’s ok.The food was alright except the beef was a bit rare and the dessert was nice for some dishes. Overall it’s a good venue to be in with convenient access to balcony level

Poor excuse of a job gives wrongly unfair pay, very degrading on the management side & with no effin respect for hardworkers should be earning more than should!
