Impressive Venue, Beware Bar Staff!

We had a great wedding event here. Just watch the sneaky bar staff, handing out mid strength drinks when full strength requested!

Mixed Feelings on Wedding Venue

Great spot for a wedding, however the DJ who came with package was in 60s and had no idea how to do transitions. Food was mediocre at best.

Beachside Wedding Bliss

Few big function halls located here. Next to the beach and two public carpets within short walking distance. They do arrange weddings and functions next to the lighthouse area.

Perfect Indian Wedding with Beachfront Views!

We could not have asked for a more perfect, intimate Indian wedding with beachfront views! Michele was absolutely amazing - patient, understanding, helpful and a joy to work with. I feel so grateful that my husband and I were able to have our dream wedding, working alongside an amazing team that made the process so seamless and easy with no issues at all. Thank you City Beach Function Centre for hosting the best day of our lives!
