Cullen Bay Marina
About
Overview & Vibe
Cullen Bay Marina sits on Marina Boulevard at Larrakeyah, a lock-gated marina precinct minutes from the Darwin CBD, where the moored yachts sit behind a run of ocean-front lawns and a beach.
Setting & Style
The weddings happen outdoors on the lawns rather than inside a function room, which is the point — beautiful gardens, large grass lawns, palm trees and open water on all sides, with the beach immediately below. There are several lawn areas of different sizes, so the same precinct handles an intimate ceremony and a full evening reception. The outlook is west over the bay and the open sea, and most evenings finish with a sunset straight over the horizon. The marina precinct's own restaurants and bars sit alongside, so catering and drinks can come from within the bay.
Ideal For
Couples wanting an outdoor ocean-front lawn ceremony with a Darwin sunset, minutes from the city.

Price Notes
- Pricing is quoted on enquiry through the Cullen Bay Marina Management Corporation — no rates are published. Weddings and celebrations are hosted on Cullen Bay's ocean-front lawns, which the marina describes as suiting either an intimate ceremony or an evening reception with all family and friends, with space for everyone. Beautiful gardens, large grass lawns, palm trees and picturesque waters surround the area, making it a backdrop for photography as well as the ceremony itself. The beach-side lawns come in various sizes, so the location can be matched to guest numbers, and all offer views of the bay and open sea. Most evenings finish with a sunset over the horizon. Enquiries are made through the wedding and event enquiry form or by phone; the marina also has a Lockmaster contact for vessel access
