Marriage is a wonderful sacred tradition. It creates an everlasting bond with the person you've chosen to spend the rest of your life with. It also, however, does come with a few caveats.
Debauched nights out with your mates will undoubtedly fall by the wayside once the knot has been tied, which is exactly why God invented Bucks Night! The 'last grasp of freedom' before a man enters into the saintly union of marriage, Bucks Party Ideas Sydney Harbour has grown in popularity in recent years, with the advent of affordable travel leading to entire Bucks Weekends.
And what better place to spend a ravenous weekend with your mates than Sydney Harbour. A city born for adventure, whether you favour a more relaxed affair or something a little wilder, there are a wealth of options available in the heart of the city itself, but the harbour is definitely where you'll find the most exciting activities, the classiest clubs and the fuzzy memories that will last a lifetime.
If you're planning to make a weekend of it, you'll probably be visiting several venues, but it's always a good idea to have a 'base of operations' as it were. The venue you require will depend on the size of your party, but it's always a good idea to keep everyone in one place.
Otherwise, you might end up losing each other (particularly if you've had more than a few bevvies). Hiring out a large apartment space is one option, or perhaps consider something a little quirkier, like camping on Cockatoo Island. Perhaps the most decadent (and interesting) option would be to hire a boat for the duration of the party.
The harbour is perfectly placed for this, as there are numerous spots to pull in and experience all manner of bars, clubs, restaurants and activities. There's even the option of sleeping on the boat itself if you have the sea legs for it! The best thing about this option is that there will be a boat fit for any party size. So shop around, and you could net yourself anything from a small catamaran to a luxury yacht!
Every great Bucks Party starts with a cracking meal. Thankfully, Sydney Harbour is wealthy with fine dining options. The Bathers Pavilion not only offers thrilling cuisine but is housed in an elegant art deco building that will please all but the most stringent architecture buffs.
Stepping things up even further, Bennelong in the Sydney Opera House. This is world-famous for a reason, though unless you're a very wealthy (and very well behaved) group, you might want to save that one for after the wedding day. Another increasingly popular option for Bucks Party Ideas Sydney Harbour is the Twin Peeks Lingerie Restaurant.
If your group are not as bothered about fine dining and are more interested in the entertainment, there are also plenty of more affordable, but no less tasty and atmospheric options. To enjoy some spectacular views with your scrumptious grub, consider dining on the waterfront on the historic wharf at Woolloomooloo, which offers outdoor dining options and some of the freshest seafood in the country.
If all else fails, and you've adopted the mantra of 'eating is cheating' for the night, you could always consider grabbing some fish and chips on Bondi Beach.
You might tell yourselves that you're 'too old' for clubbing, but no Bucks Party would be complete without a trip to a nightclub. For live music, check out the Oxford Art Factory, where many top touring international artists will be plying their wares. Sydney's legitimate 'super club' Home, meanwhile, is a glistening paradise for hard dance lovers with three levels and eight rooms. For similar, though less hectic fun, there's also Chinese Laundry.
Also, Marquee Sydney inside the Star Casino. This has played host to some of the biggest DJs in the world in recent years.
