Doltone House at Jones Bay Wharf

Doltone House at Jones Bay Wharf

Why We Love It

Doltone House at Jones Bay Wharf offers one of the most dramatic waterfront wedding settings in Sydney. Located on a beautifully restored finger wharf in Pyrmont, it boasts panoramic views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the city skyline, and Darling Harbour. 

The venue is designed to impress: think heritage wharf architecture with soaring high ceilings, exposed beams, massive windows, and a number of flexible indoor-outdoor spaces. Whether guests are arriving via Darling Harbour or on foot, there’s something stunning at every turn.

There are multiple event spaces to suit styles and sizes, including:

  • Heritage Wharf: Big, open, airy, ideal for large receptions. 

  • The Loft: A more intimate, multi-level space with grand staircases, lots of natural light, plush architectural details, perfect for weddings wanting both grandeur and warmth. 

  • SoHo: Designed by Greg Natale, this space offers loft-style vibes, a wraparound deck, harbour views, and stylish interior finishes that stand out even without heavy styling.

Every wedding package here comes with thoughtful inclusions like private outdoor decking for pre-dinner drinks, award-winning catering, feature lighting, a marble bar, a bridal room, and styling consultation. The venue hire is typically for about 5 hours. 

What to Consider

  • Guest Count & Flow: While the large Heritage Wharf can accommodate up to ~550 seated guests, for those numbers flow (between indoor/outdoor, deck & ballroom) should be planned carefully.

  • Weather Exposure: Outdoor decks are gorgeous, especially with harbour views, but you’ll need rain plans or backup inclement-weather options.

  • Logistics & Transport: Prymont Wharf is accessible via multiple modes (bus, ferry, light rail, maybe water taxi), but parking is limited and you’ll want to give guests clear instructions.

  • Styling & Extra Costs: Some decor, feature lighting, or styling enhancements may cost extra. Confirm clearly what is included versus what’s an add-on.

Cons
