The venue is typically booked for exclusive use, and pricing is generally based on customised wedding packages which include minimum spend requirements depending on the day of the week, time of year, and guest numbers.

While the actual fees are provided upon enquiry and are subject to your specific event details, the venue will secure your chosen date and package upon payment of a deposit.

Getting there:

Getting There: Gunners Barracks, Mosman

Please aim to arrive 15 minutes prior to your ceremony (along with your guests) to ensure you are in the right location and ready to go at your scheduled time. Gunners Barracks is located in the historic Georges Heights precinct of Mosman.

  • 🚗 **Private Car and Parking**

    The venue is approximately a 15-20 minute drive from the Sydney CBD. Access is via Military Road and Suakin Drive in Mosman. **Parking:** There is complimentary guest parking available on-site at Gunners Barracks, which is a major convenience for a Sydney **wedding venue**. However, spaces can be limited, so carpooling or arranging transport is often recommended.

  • 🚕 **Taxi or Ride-Share**

    Given the limited nature of on-site parking and the venue's slightly tucked-away location, using a pre-booked taxi or ride-share service (like Uber) is a very popular and easy option for guests. Direct the driver to 'Gunners Barracks, End of Suakin Drive, Mosman'.

  • 🚌 **Shuttle Bus**

    For larger **weddings**, many couples choose to arrange a private shuttle bus service from a more central location (such as a major hotel, or a convenient spot in Mosman or the CBD) to transport guests directly to the venue and back. This ensures all guests arrive on time without the stress of navigating the final approach or finding a park.

Wet weather:
