Gunners’ Barracks

Gunners Barracks, Sydney

Waterfront wedding venues in Sydney are all beautiful, but the Gunners’ Barracks offer a historical charm that can’t be replicated. This heritage site (built in 1873) overlooks Sydney Harbour, and was originally used as the barracks for artillerymen in the area.

Today, this venue fits well with modern wedding standards, but the authentic beauty remains its top calling card. Couples can embrace vintage glamour and contemporary style all in one place.
