Boronia House Restaurant in Mosman is “a delightful garden destination”
The suburb of Mosman on Sydney’s lower north shore is blessed with countless wedding reception venues. One such place is Boronia House Restaurant, convenienty located on Military Rd, the main street running through Spit Junction.
Built in 1855 and fully refurbished in 1997, the grand old two-storey building was once home to the local municipal library and remains very much an historical icon. Surrounded by established parterre gardens, the landscaping and architecture brings character and charm to any event. Therefore, this makes it a venue that works well for your ceremony, location and reception photographs.  Reservoir Park in nearby Brady St also has ornamental gardens, a grassed area and a gazebo and so it too can be used for larger outdoor wedding ceremonies.
The building itself has a wonderfully ornate balcony overlooking the gardens. Use this spot to grab a breath of fresh air during the reception, or perhaps utilise it for location photographs of the bride & groom. Even the staircase leading up to the second floor is a photo opportunity in the making.  Although the house can fit over 200 wedding guests it’s more than suitable for a smaller, more intimate function.
The house boasts a number of rooms that can each serve a different purpose. As you enter, to the left is a large bar area well-suited to pre-dinner drinks and canapés. There’s even a quaint sunroom on the other side of this room. To the right of the entrance, the open room with timber floorboards makes the perfect dance floor. And the dining room has a clean, crisp feel to it with beautiful, tall windows behind the bridal table.Â
Interestingly, despite the history of the building, the place feels anything but dated and stuffy.  We think it’s because they did such a good job renovating. But then again, it could also be the incredibly friendly staff. The food too is superb with the menu a scrumptious blend of traditional and contemporary options.
Their sister venue, Barrenjoey House opposite Palm Beach Wharf, is equally impressive so we will be sure to write a review about our recent experience there in the next few weeks…
