We would like to thank all the staff involved in both the planning of our wedding and working on the day. Melissa was phenomenal with our planning and nothing was a big ask. She is very easy to get along with, has great communication and response time that I did not stress AT ALL planning our wedding. Both the FOH and BOH staff were amazing on the night. The food was a huge hit with many guests complimenting the taste of the meals and the presentation. The grazing table was also a huge hit, with the best we have ever seen. CBFC package inclusions made everything so easy as well. From the inclusion of a ceremony package at the lighthouse, the amazing cake made by Delaney's cakes to the MC and DJ who were both awesome and easy going. Everyone involved in our day just had a great professional vibe and were so helpful, especially with our newborn present. We really could not fault the reception at all! Set right on the beach it was a beautiful location and ran smoothly I wish we could re live it all over again at CBFC. Thank you so so much to everyone involved.

We had the most amazing experience with Citybeach right from the very beginning. Melissa is so helpful and was so quick to respond to all my emails/calls, which made us feel so relaxed knowing that everything was taken care of. We couldn't have asked for a better night. The staff were so amazing on the night as well. They checked in on us throughout the night and made sure we were well looked after. The inclusion of the MC and DJ were fantastic; Dave (Collins) is very charismatic and Chris played all our favourite requests. We had such a great time celebrating with our family and friends and will definitely be recommending Citybeach to everyone.
