Inner West Sydney. Our favourite part of Inner West Sydney is Leichhardt. If you’re looking for some Italian charm, you’ll find it here.
Eastern Suburbs. Paddington, Darlinghurst and Surry Hills are some of our top recommendations. These suburbs have many options to choose from. With so much variety on offer, you’ll be sure to find a suitable venue in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.
On a tight budget and wondering how you can cut the costs? A christening function doesn’t need to break the bank. It’s a time to celebrate with family, not put yourself into debt. Here are our savvy tips for maximising your budget:
Go for smaller bites. Instead of catering for a full sit-down meal, why not plan a morning or afternoon tea? Most christening venues in Sydney also offer a cocktail or finger food menu.
Ditch the decorations. Although decorations add a festive touch, they really aren’t necessary. Look for a venue with tasteful decor which requires little or no decorations.
Recruit the family. If you have talent in the family (photographers, chefs, bakers, florists), use their skills to your advantage.
Your child’s baptism or christening is such a special occasion and the reception should represent your family’s values. Being a parent is a full-time job! Allow Tagvenue to make this first milestone of your child’s life as stress-free as possible by filtering through our list of christening function venues in Sydney. Below are our tips and tricks for christening function planning.
It’s a family affair! A christening venue needs to accommodate your guest list. Do you have a lot of kids coming to the christening? Make sure your venue of choice is child-friendly. Nothing worse than fine-dining with kids and disturbing other guests - as you know, this isn’t an easy experience! On the other end of the spectrum, be sure to think of grandparents and great-grandparents. Is the venue accessible for them? Are the bathrooms nearby? Is there wheelchair access? These are all things to keep in mind when inquiring about booking a christening reception venue.
What will be comfortable for you and the baby? When planning an event, you often get so involved in catering for guests that you forget about what YOU are going to need on the day. Be sure to ask the venue about facilities that cater to parents with small children, even if it’s only for yourself. Have they got diaper-changing facilities? A quiet room for when your baby (and perhaps even yourself) has had enough of all the family fuss? It’s going to be a busy day, so be prepared!
Where would be a good place to hold the christening? Find a venue close to the church. It’s no good having the baptism on one side of Sydney and the reception on the other. Your guests won’t be impressed with spending half the day travelling!
Alice & Florine were very hands on and assisted us all the way from booking to the day of our event! On top of that, food was amazing!!
Kate as a host was absolutely brilliant. Incredibly easy to communicate with and made every effort to have our event run exactly as we wanted. The space was gorgeous and she even gave us a last minute upgrade to the Dale Librsry when it was a 40degree day and we needed more air conditioning. The Dale Loft and Dale Library are gorgeous spaces. I will be rebooking in the future for sure. Thank you Kate.
Highly recommend! The indoor and outdoor spaces are beautiful! Wonderful for little kids. Lots of room to run around and play outside. The food was delicious and lots of it. The hospitality was above and beyond
Excellent communication and support from the first communication. Dominic was great and enabled a really successful event.
