When it comes to finding a hall, Western Sydney is definitely the place to be. The Inner West is just a stone's throw from the CBD and is home to some of Sydney's best halls. The Parramatta River is another great option if you're looking for waterfront halls. If you don’t mind travelling a little further out, there are some great options on the North Shore as well.

When you're looking to save money on venue hire, the first thing you should do is ensure that you're making an informed decision. If you're looking for a venue that will host your event, it's important to find out exactly what they offer. You don't want to end up with a space that doesn't have enough room for your guests or one that doesn't have the amenities that you need—like kitchens and parking. The next step is finding out how much it would cost to hire their space for your event. Venues charge for use of their event spaces in several different ways, but whichever type you choose, remember to read the fine print. If the venue charges per hour, for example, you need to make sure that your event isn't too long or else you could end up paying more than expected. If the venue uses minimum spend, you need to make sure that you have enough money to meet the required amount. Lastly, find out if your venue allows outside catering or bringing in your own food or alcohol.
