Our Guide to Intimate and Small Sydney Wedding Venues
Finding an intimate function room to celebrate your wedding day is always possible in Sydney. The city is teeming with all kinds of venues, from small waterfront wedding spaces to cosy inner-city urban restaurants. Our VenueCrew Sydney Venue Specialists know all the popular and up and coming spots that you might not have even considered. We look forward to helping you shortcut your Sydney venue search to lessen the stress of it all.
Some of our favourite small Sydney venues include hotels that feature a variety of different spaces to use throughout the day. For example, Vibe Rushcutters Bay is a beautiful modern hotel with a verandah, a glasshouse and a rooftop pool deck overlooking the lush Rushcutters Bay Park. With space for between 16 and 50 guests, these contemporary rooms are ideal for bright and breezy yet intimate celebrations. Check out the wedding brochure here.
Venue Specialist Tip No. 1: Seek Out Intimate Wedding Venues Within Large Hotels
Huge hotels often have little secrets inside, including an array of intimate venues that are perfect for small ceremonies and receptions. Aside from the main ballroom, these smaller celebration spaces include all the AV equipment and stylish interiors you’d need for a small scale wedding. Plus, the in-house wedding coordinator will be able to sort all of the planning details.
For example, the Hart Room at Amora Jamison Hotel Sydney is a fantastic choice for ceremonies and intimate banquets, and upstairs, the 5-star hotel suites can accommodate your entire wedding party at special rates. The Dining Room at The Langham, Sydney is another peaceful location to say ‘I Do’. Overlooking Barangaroo and Sydney’s western shores, it’s a refined and comfortable space where the furniture can be reconfigured to suit your vision.
Venue Specialist Tip No. 2: Private Dining Rooms Are a Great Option
Are you looking for a relaxed restaurant vibe for your wedding day? The Kittyhawk Sydney is a spectacular setting for weddings. Upstairs, the Sergeant’s Mess is accessed via a private lift and the 1940’s themed decor sends you back to Liberation day in Paris. Have a look at its brochure to see if the intimate wedding venue ticks the right boxes.
For something more modern with a coastal location, Zest’s portfolio of venues makes a refreshing and contemporary addition to Sydney’s venue scene. The Boathouse At The Spit features multiple bi-fold walls that can be adjusted to suit your small wedding party and The Beachouse At Point Piper includes the chic Commodores Room for up to 80 seated guests.
Venue Specialist Tip No. 3: Break Up Big Spaces With Decorations
If you’re struggling to find a small Sydney wedding venue that takes your fancy, then there are ways of making larger function rooms appear smaller. To create more of an ambience in the extra space, you could add in scattered food stations, photo walls or floral installations. Even hiring a stage for live bands takes up room and would add a very memorable impact.
Venue Specialist Tip No. 4: Less Is More
Putting the huge ballroom parties aside, your wedding day all about you and your other half. It’s a special time that celebrates your unique relationship, so no matter how many people are in the room, it’s feeling comfortable and happy that matters. In fact, having fewer guests in attendance helps you focus on the smaller details that make all the difference. These extras will make your small wedding venue stand out, and it’ll be cherished by everyone who is invited.
