- KK E15/04/2026AmazingAmazingWe booked the beautiful Bathers Pavilion for our wedding. The communication from their team was fantastic and they were very open and willing to adapt to all our requests. The team were highly trained and everything ran on time and to the letter. The food was the star of the show, high quality and very generously portioned and the drinks package was easy and drama free. We are so grateful for the incredible night that Bathers Pavilion facilitated and will be back to revisit again and again.We booked the beautiful Bathers Pavilion for our wedding.

- AAylin U15/04/2026BestBestThe BEST venue! The team at Bathers were incredible; very reasonable, flexible, and accommodating. Ray, the events manager, is the best I've ever experienced at a venue. He runs a tight ship & the quality of the service absolutely shows. I had nothing to worry about with Bathers as our wedding venue - would highly recommend for smaller weddings like ours (we had 64px).The BEST venue!
