Unlike public parks or beaches, **The Newport** is a commercial **wedding venue**, and you must book a private function space directly with them to hold your ceremony and/or reception.
As part of booking a ceremony and/or reception package, you will be required to pay a venue hire fee. This fee varies depending on the day of the week, the time of year, the space you choose, and the specific package you select. You will need to contact their dedicated events team for a detailed quote.
Standard: 20 People. Add Guests: Add up to 100+ in total +$75.
You can have up to 20 people (the 2 of you and 18 guests) at your ceremony. This excludes children under 6 years old. For an additional fee of $75, this number can be increased to 100+ people in total. To add guests after your initial booking, go to the Add-ons tab in your portal.
I understand that, it is my responsibility to make the required booking with the park authority and pay any associated site fees directly to them.
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.
**The Newport** is located at 2 Kalinya Street, **Newport**, NSW 2106.
Driving to **The Newport** is a straightforward option, taking you north along the scenic Pittwater Road. There is a large, dedicated car park at the venue, making parking relatively easy for you and your guests. However, it can fill up quickly on busy weekends, so allow extra time, especially if your ceremony is in the afternoon.
A taxi or a ride-share service like Uber is a stress-free way to arrive, particularly if you plan to celebrate with a few drinks! You can be dropped off right at the main entrance. Be sure to book your ride in advance, especially for the return trip, as availability can sometimes be limited in the Northern Beaches area late at night.
Sydney Buses operate regular services to **Newport**. The 199 bus route travels between Manly and Palm Beach, stopping right near **The Newport** on Pittwater Road. You can plan your trip easily using the Transport NSW Trip Planner website, looking for the bus stop near Kalinya Street.
For guests coming from Sydney's CBD, they could take a ferry to Manly and then catch the 199 bus up to **Newport**. While a little longer, it offers a beautiful scenic journey and a great way for out-of-town guests to see Sydney's stunning coastline before arriving at your **marriage venue**.
Now it doesn't happen often, but when it does you will need to shelter under trees or bring umbrellas - how romantic. However, because **The Newport** is a dedicated **wedding venue**, they have excellent built-in wet weather contingencies.
The Newport's event spaces are designed to be flexible. If the weather turns, your ceremony will simply be moved to an equally beautiful, designated indoor or covered area within the venue that has already been secured as part of your booking package. You should confirm the exact wet weather location with The Newport Events Team when you make your booking.
