Corporate Event Venue · Sydney Harbour
A corporate venue people actually clear their calendars for.
An exclusive waterfront event venue on the upper level of Manly Wharf for end-of-year parties, client functions and launches, with full AV, in-house catering and a private terrace over the harbour, a scenic ferry ride from the CBD.

Your people can tell how much the event was worth to you.
You've been to the corporate function in the beige function room. The lanyards, the hum of the air-con, the drinks that wrap up before anyone has really loosened up.
A corporate event is a signal. It tells your team how the year was seen, and it tells your clients how much their business matters. When the room feels like an afterthought, the message lands the same way, and everyone quietly clocks it.
"Timeless luxury with an airy harbourside sensibility, inspired by the elegance of the French Riviera."
An exclusive floor on the harbour, and the commute is part of the night.
Perched on the upper level of Manly Wharf, our event space commands sweeping views across the crystal-blue water of Manly Cove and North Sydney Harbour.
Your guests board a ferry at Circular Quay and step off into the open air: no traffic, no car park, no grey arrival. By the time they reach the room, the night has already started.
Upstairs, the floor is yours alone: light-filled and versatile, fully furnished with linen, glassware and bentwood chairs, a private bar, full AV support and an outdoor terrace for the part of the night people remember. Everything, from the run sheet to the last drink on the terrace, is handled in-house by one team.

Who Manly Wharf Events is for.
This is for you if…
- You're planning a corporate event, party or client function for roughly 60–300 people.
- You want a venue that makes an impression, not another interchangeable function room.
- You'd rather one team handle space, AV and catering than juggle separate suppliers.
- A scenic ferry from the CBD sounds like a feature, not a hurdle.
It's probably not for you if…
- You need a room for fewer than 40 guests.
- You need multiple simultaneous large rooms under one roof.
- Basement-level convenience next to a car park matters more than the experience.
Corporate event venue questions, answered.
The floor accommodates up to 300 guests: cocktail-style celebrations for 300, long tables for 272, or oval tables for 300. For seated dinners and awards nights, our events team will confirm the exact configuration for your numbers during your site inspection.
Yes. The space comes with AV support built in, suitable for speeches, presentations and awards. Tell us what your event needs and we'll make sure the set-up is right before the night.
A ferry from Circular Quay lands at Manly Wharf in roughly 18 minutes, and the event space is on the upper level, right where they step off. It removes the traffic and parking headache entirely, and the harbour crossing sets the tone for the night. There's also paid parking on site for those who prefer to drive.
Absolutely. All catering and beverages are handled in-house, with feasting, plated and cocktail menus plus optional stations and enhancements. From arrival canapes through to drinks on the terrace, it's one team and one menu conversation, not five suppliers to coordinate.
Yes: the upper-level event floor is yours exclusively for your event, with its own private bar and terrace. Your event isn't sharing the room with anyone else.
We'll confirm a time that suits you, walk you through the floor and terrace in person, and talk through your event. From there our events team builds a tailored proposal covering layout, AV, catering and pricing, with no obligation.
