Zest Boathouse at the Spit Mosman Wedding Ceremonies

Couples will have some difficult decisions to make when it comes to planning their wedding ceremony, but the first big choice is: Indoors or out? There are a handful of both indoor and outdoor locations to choose from on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, from formal churches to outdoor reserves. 

Zest Boathouse at the Spit offers a charming indoor wedding ceremony option — right on their stylish, elevated terrace, overlooking Clontarf Beach, Clontarf Marina and Sandy Bay. This spot is beautiful and convenient; the venue lends a warm, romantic atmosphere, but the real highlight is that your guests won’t need to travel between the ceremony and reception, which is ideal if you have some elderly guests or — touch wood — wet weather on your wedding day.

Alternatively, there is a beautiful outdoor option located just a stone’s throw away from Zest Boathouse — right across the road from the venue. Spit West Reserve is a public area with a large manicured lawn, lots of native trees and sea views. If a ceremony venue with fresh air, lots of natural light and plenty of room is important to you, this quiet reserve is an excellent choice.

If you’d prefer a different indoor ceremony location nearby, you might like the Mosman Art Gallery. This unique, contemporary ceremony space is a mere five-minute drive from Zest Boathouse at the Spit, giving your guests a fun, memorable spot to watch you marry your beloved. Once you have married, your guests can peruse the paintings, collections and exhibitions while you take your wedding photographs. Win, win.

For more religious couples, Sacred Heart Catholic Church is a ten-minute journey away. If you’ve ever hoped for a traditional ceremony, where one partner enters the church, walks down the red-carpeted aisle, past the pews and towards their teary, expectant fiance, then Sacred Heart Catholic Church might be for you. This classic location is architecturally gorgeous, and is ideal for formal ceremonies.

Interactive catering options for weddings here are a huge point of difference for the Mosman wedding venue, and have included cake swings, ice luges, cake cutting with swords, champagne walls, donut walls, smash cakes, and more. 

If you’d prefer a formal, sit-down dinner — in either a sharing plate or three-course meal fashion. Imagine plates of tasty dishes, including lamb rump with kumara puree or roasted blue-eye with herb ricotta gnocchi served to your guests.

Later, they’ll retreat to the marble effect dancefloor. Your loved ones can dance the night away and take advantage of the fully-stocked bar or whiskey station before the wedding concludes in the wee hours (there’s a 24-hour license).
