Located above the playful Manly Wine Bar and Restaurant, The Wine Suites boasts unbeatable panoramic views of sparkling Manly Beach, making it the ideal reception venue for your beach wedding. Considered by many as the northern suburbs’ best-kept secret, this premium reception venue caters to weddings and functions of up to 250 guests.
Since opening its doors in early 2010, The Wine Suites has hosted numerous beautiful weddings, each with a “spectacular” factor that comes naturally with the venue’s location and interior design. Not only will couples love the tree-lined water views out to Manly Beach and the warm coastal breeze that floats in through folding glass doors and windows, but also the variety of spaces that can cater for your ceremony and cocktail or sit-down reception.
The open-air garden terrace with adjoining indoor space might be the setting of your garden party ceremony and pre-reception cocktails in the sun; the main suites comfortably hold large groups for a sit-down dinner; while the outdoor deck allows for relaxed lounging.

Run by the team behind Gazebo in Potts Point, The Winery in Surry Hills, and Manly Wine — all known for their sumptuous design and unique atmospheres — couples are guaranteed to be in good hands. The events and design teams can help with everything from styling your wedding to sourcing suppliers and ensuring everything runs smoothly on the day.
A selection of wedding and menu packages accommodates a range of wedding sizes and styles, from intimate gatherings of 20 people to grand 250-guest functions.

For brides who prefer a hands-on approach to styling their wedding, The Wine Suites can become a blank canvas.

Couples are recommended to make an appointment for a venue inspection.

Everyone no matter if you are the biggest cynic in the world about love, wants to fall in love or simply to be loved. Normally the ones with the biggest chip on there shoulder about dating and love are normally the ones who crave love the most, normally those guy are the ones looking for something special that really means something to them (and no ladies I don’t mean go out and find a guy like this fix them and prove them wrong) I mean don’t give up easily but also don’t stick out something that compromises who you truly are. We go on dates; we try on line dating, speed dating and get set up on blind dates. I myself have been on countless amounts of dates, some funny, some that lead into serious relationships and some that simply crash and burn, so why do it? Because we all want to find that relationship that is special, special enough to want to say hey upi know what despite all the shit you are the one I want to give the unknown a go with. Ladies out there someone’s x is always someone’s love of their life. So I get told all the time that dating sux’s and that they wish he or she would just come along already. It always makes me laugh. My answer is Make life happen – Stop worrying about dating I have figured out that when we as women feel good we look great. I took 50 women away who had not had a date in years. We I sat down with them I couldn’t figure out why, they were beautiful, intelligent women but one thing was missing – belief, Belief that they where sexy, beautiful, intelligent etc. I spent the morning, installing into theses women value in who they where and what helping them outline what they have to offer themselves and a partner. I feel it is truly empowering when a woman can look at herself in the mirror and say “I look good” no matter what shape or size she is, and I am not saying its that simply buy getting a makeover but you know what sometimes that’s all that is need because you know what all those ladies made the first big step that first big step which was stepping out side there comfort zone coming on the singles weekend away. A big pat on the back is deserved there because it takes so serious courage to do something like that. I tell you what thou, these weekends have seriously changed some people lives and it has been a privledge and insight to watch. So the short cut is – don’t wait for dating to happen, make life happen and live life to your fullest and the dates will follow! TIP – Think about it when you are full of confidence and what that picture look like and re create that every day, or at least once per week.

Bec – has meet a great guy i introduced her to through TGHACB. He is a city guy looking for love and after 6 months of extreme dating a back and forth trying with her x she thinks she has found what she has always been looking for.

Bianca – has re- connected with her man, but she still feels there is something she is not telling her.

The beautiful Vanessa – What a ride she has had lately, online dating and being set up by me she has finallly found a guy who is not only totally hot to trot but bloody nice. LOVE IT.

Relationships especially are put under enormous pressure in today’s world of technology which is immediate. Human beings are process orientated in that we require a solid foundation from which to build safety, trust and intimacy.

For many intensity has become the norm and it is mistaken for intimacy. Romantic attraction appears to release the same levels, if not higher, of dopamine and oxytocin into the bloodstream as drugs.

Intimacy comes from time spent building a connection, trust is earned, sex is often mistaken for emotional intimacy in both genders, this is confusing as many attempt to connect immediately through sex this often leads to overwhelm sensory and mental among the other human senses all of this leads to feelings of vulnerability and the self preservation strategies of the individual (based on their own personal history) kicks in and reactions can range from withdrawal to increased risk taking.

Ever wondered why after a date of deep connection the object of your affection disappears for a period of time, which incidentally can trigger feelings of insecurity and confusion in the person not withdrawing (you), as the time spent with that emerging “special” someone opened you up to your deepest wants and needs and as a reflection and what can appear to be magic, the one, the most amazing experience etc etc turns out to be an experience of extreme highs and lows throughout the “chase”.

This is an example of intensity…. not intimacy.

If someone is available and ready, truly ready to begin a relationship they will not engage in these behaviours, I know that the enticement appears to be ” if only I do this, be this, compromise this, be less than, be more than, they will respond they will realise how amazing our connection is …largely they won’t, why because they aren’t ready to recieve the connection they thought they were ready for…

” The journey to get where we want to be is often lost in a flurry of pressure to be there already”.

The foundation has not been attended to thoroughly.

Painful and true, so what can you do?

Be honest with yourself about what you truly want and what you are truly ready for …. NOW.

If not let it go and do your own inner work to be ready and clear.

What is inner work?

Awareness mostly of past patterns and habits in relationships, just look at your history, what have you attracted in your life? Did it work well for you, probably not if you are re-experiencing it, AGAIN.

You have missed something a subtle cue that your “intuition, body sensations, knowing” alerted you to. Wake up pay attention to these subtleties, side step the past experience do it differently, don’t worry if you don’t know exactly in the detail what this may mean, trust, experiment based on your own inner truth and experience, forget about how you may appear, truth is many are equally confused and going through a similar process, be your own authority & guide in your life, as an adult its the only guidance worth aligning to, forget the collusion with the past models of behaviour, thinking , emotion create change.
