The Wine Suites Wedding Showcase
A balmy summer evening overlooking the ocean was the perfect occasion to host a soiree and last bight, February 9th, Manly Wine & the Wine Suites opened our doors to showcase the venue’s private function spaces.
After being transported by water ferry and BMW luxury cars, Host Holly Brisley led guests through an evening of fine food and drinks as they experienced each of the venue’s functions spaces.
First, a kitchen tea inspired girls picnic featuring three tier platters of sweet and savoury treats were enjoyed. Guests then moved into The Terrace Suites and enjoyed the view from the private outdoor terrace (which has a 150 cocktail capacity or 90 banquet capacity) along with rose petal infused cocktails (aptly named “Giggly Rose”).
For dinner, guests were led into The Beach Side Suites with feature private bars and a wrap around glass balcony. Musician Jeremy Curran entertained dinners as hey enjoyed their meal and a showcase of some of Sydney’s best wedding professionals including beach inspired wedding photographs from Matt Waugh from Natalie Page Photography, the latest collection from Henry Roth modeled by five local brides. Completing the showcase was Sydney hair & makeup artist June Rose who shared her best tips & tricks for wedding day makeup up as well as styling the looks of the Henry Roth brides.
Guests departed the evening holding a gift from another local vendor- beautiful soy candles from Palm Beach Collection.
