    Sydney Venue Styles You’ll Love

    First and foremost, Sydney is known for its glistening blue harbour. As such, it’s no surprise that some of the city’s most popular venues for events are its waterfront venues and rooftop venues. There’s a relaxed atmosphere at many of Sydney’s social event venues, like cottages that have been turned into restaurants, urban wineries, and beautiful outdoor gardens. 

    Luxury hotel venues are quite popular for corporate events in Sydney as well as for wedding groups. Many of these hotels are located on Sydney Harbour, offering gorgeous views of the water from the event spaces and guest suites.

    Formal events and luxury wedding venues in Sydney range widely, and some of the many local styles include heritage mansions and ballrooms, beautiful museum spaces, and spectacular event halls.

    The Fastest Way to Find Your Sydney Venue

    Speak with one of our Sydney Venue Specialists today. Our team are well versed in Sydney venue options that are conveniently located to the city centre, event spaces that offer flexible catering options, local restaurants that double as gorgeous venues for private events, and so much more. We pride ourselves on matching people with Sydney event venues they’ll love.

    Booking Sydney Hotel Room Blocks

    Not every event requires hotel bookings, but if you have a list of ten or more guests travelling to Sydney from out of town, we usually recommend booking a block of rooms for your group. Depending on the size of your guest list, it might even make sense to book group room blocks at more than one hotel. Whatever the case, our Venue Specialists can help you navigate this process and get you set up with comfortable accommodation for your group.

    Setting a Budget for Your Sydney Event

    There’s no one-price-fits-all approach to event planning, but setting a budget from the start is a great way to help you hone in on your venue and rule a few options out. Generally speaking, daytime weekday events are always going to be more affordable than evening weekend events. 

    The actual pricing set by your Sydney event venue can range significantly depending on the date of your event, the time of day, and the scope of what you’re planning. We’ve seen short daytime events that are priced as low as $35/guest, and we’ve seen budgets of $350 or more per guest for full-day events and weddings.

    Creating a budget and sticking to it is one of the more challenging aspects of planning an event. That’s why we’re committed to being transparent with pricing and sending you quotes from venues that fit into the budget you’ve set.
