“My wedding was held at City Beach, Wollongong in the Pearl Room. The room was a fantastic size, accommodating all my guests with plenty of space left. Their inclusions are outstanding. When I attended expos multiple photographers had said that the food is outstanding EVERY TIME!! The day came, and you better believe they delivered. The meals were fantastic, so tasty, good size and really well cooked. The guests couldn’t stop raving about it. The staff were amazing, so accommodating, and the event coordinators were super organised. I would highly recommend City Beach for any occasion. The wedding packages are phenomenal.” Jasmine
