    Made our day even better.

    Our wedding couldn’t have gone any better. The team at the Crows nest were fantastic, they took away so much of the stress. The service, the food, everything was spot on.

    I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for something a little different.

    Our wedding

    From first contact until the very end the whole team were amazing.
    The Waterfront had been out ' date night' pub many times so held a special place in our hearts.
    Our day was so effortless , so much so I wanted to repeat it. Our guests all commented on how amazing the venue is , with the marina, pools and parkland and how spectacular the room looked. The food was amazing, again many compliments from the guests.
    I would recommend the Crows Nest to anyone. It's a very special place. ❤️

    An excellent team

    At the time my wife was pescetarian, Bronwyn was happy to modify the fish dish (cod with chorizo parmentier potatoes) to cater to her.
    They will always do their best. And their in house DJ GC events was an excellent MC

    The Waterfront's reply:

    Dear Mike,

    We truly appreciate your feedback and are delighted to hear that your experience with us was a positive one. We always strive to accommodate our guests' dietary preferences and needs, and we're glad that Bronwyn could modify the fish dish to cater to your wife's pescetarian diet. Our commitment to providing the best possible service is our top priority.

    It's also great to know that our in-house DJ, GC Events, added an extra layer of excellence to your event as the MC. We believe that every detail, from the food to the entertainment, plays a crucial role in making your experience memorable.

    Thank you for choosing us and for sharing your experience. We truly appreciate it.

    Mr and Mrs Carr

    We had a smaller wedding around 35 people and we were made to feel welcome. Comfortable and every step felt simplistic with amazing assistance all along the way. The venue gave an air of calm and relaxation. Something me and my wife really wanted for the big day

    Perfect wedding venue

    Our wedding day was amazing, the staff was spot on, the only good thing was to go and check the table setting before the guests arrived as I had to make some changes a specially at the top table as the setting was completely different than i arranged apart from that all went well

    I cannot find words to say how amazing this venue is

    My now husband and I had the most incredible day thanks to all the wonderful staff at the crows nest. Nothing was too much bother. We had zero stress about anything before our day or on our day. The attentiveness and care was above and beyond. Stunning venue to get married at. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the scenery was and how perfect the venue was laid out. Everyone loved the food, everything flowed perfectly. If you’re looking to get married, we cannot recommend this place enough.

    A perfect day!

    The perfect venue for our special day. Everything was tailored to what we wanted and Shelley was at the end of the phone from when we first viewed the venue to our wedding day. We found it affordable compared to other venues and loved the balcony with views over the marina. We would highly recommend this venue!

    Incredible day

    Shelley and the team pulled out all the stops to make our wedding day incredibly special.

    All of our guests absolutely loved the Crow's Nest (and Barton Marina!) and we had compliments galore about the food, the service and the fairy lights.
