the venue
ATHOL HALL, MOSMAN
Enveloped by the tranquil beauty of Sydney Harbour National Park, our wedding will be hosted by the stunning Athol Hall. Originally built in 1850, this architecturally exquisite heritage venue has been meticulously restored, showcasing its elegant wooden structure and timeless design. Its interiors, accented with natural sandstone, perfectly echo Sydney's iconic landscape. Surrounded by lush greenery and manicured lawns, Athol Hall offers unrivaled views of the North Sydney skyline, the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, and the city skyline. Our wedding ceremony and reception will both be held at Athol Hall, keeping all of us together in the one beautiful space and making the transition from ceremony to reception effortless and relaxed.
