Event photography and videography at Catalina Rose Bay

Catalina has been a Rose Bay institution since 1994, and it holds its position on the waterfront with the kind of quiet confidence that comes from 30 years of consistently excellent events. The dining room is open-plan and contemporary, with floor-to-ceiling glass doors that fold back to a sun-drenched balcony over the water. The harbour view from that balcony stretches out across Rose Bay with light that changes beautifully through the day. For product launches, corporate functions, networking events, and waterside receptions, Catalina delivers a refined setting that is distinctly Sydney without being predictable. Event photographers and videographers working here consistently return to the balcony for good reason: the natural light over the water and the open harbour backdrop photograph extremely well, and sunset from this position over the eastern harbour is a moment you plan your schedule around. Exclusive hire accommodates up to 120 guests with no room hire fee and minimum spends in place. The family-owned character of the venue means the service is personal and the team knows how to look after events properly.
