WE JUST GOT MARRIED!!! 6 June 2026 Everything was PERFECT, and there is nothing to fault. Organisation was impeccable, and all the guests raved on about the good food, elegant decor, and smooth timing of our program. Everyone had a blast!! Shout out to our coordinator Kana, our stylist Emily, our day point of contact Rex, and our event coordinator on-the-day Annie.

Impressive venue, good service, good food, fresh seafood you can taste (unlike other venues sneakily substituting frozen seafood because they got you by the gonads). Tried and tested, hosting your event at the Highline is common sense. Thanks for making my friend’s wedding dinner a solid success 🥂🥂🥂
