About Sails Port Macquarie

Nestled on the banks of the Hastings River, Sails Port Macquarie by Rydges is an all‑in‑one waterfront wedding venue where ceremony, reception and accommodation are located in one scenic resort. Set amid sparkling marina views and tropical gardens, the resort brings easy coastal elegance to every part of the day. Couples can marry by the water's edge, in the Hamptons‑inspired Pavilion chapel or on a manicured lawn, then celebrate with cocktails at The Point or a candlelit dinner in the Cape Ballroom. With guest rooms and a Water View Suite on site, everyone can relax and stay together.

The venue can host up to 260 guests and offers flexible packages for celebrations ranging from intimate elopements to grand receptions. Wedding packages include on‑site ceremony setup with white chairs and a signing table, a beverage package and catering that ranges from shared feasting menus to cocktail‑style canapés. Each package includes a wedding night in a Water View King Room with sparkling wine and breakfast, and the experienced events team is happy to tailor details to suit your vision.

Sails Port Macquarie exudes coastal charm and relaxed sophistication. The combination of riverfront vistas, lush gardens and Hamptons‑inspired architecture creates a dreamy setting for photos and celebrations. Guests enjoy warm sea breezes as the sun sets over the marina, and the resort's modern interiors provide a stylish backdrop that can be dressed up or down. For couples seeking an effortless destination wedding without leaving New South Wales, this venue offers convenience, beauty and outstanding hospitality.
