The price of hiring a group dining venue in Sydney typically includes using the space for a set duration, tables and seating, and basic amenities. Many venues also offer packages that include catering, beverages, and service staff. Some may provide additional extras like audio-visual equipment, decorations, and event planning assistance.
We recommend booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially for larger groups or during peak times such as holidays and weekends. Popular venues can be booked out even earlier, so planning ahead is important.
