FAQs about Top Outdoor Venues in Sydney
Here's a handy guide to outdoor venue hire prices in Sydney:
- Per person – Per person rates range from $20 to $125 or more. Also, consider some venues will have a hire fee over and above this.
- Minimum spend – For a small function, expect to pay at least $500 for outdoor venue hire in Sydney. This is the cheapest you’ll find. The average prices start at $1500 and can get into the tens of thousands for bigger venues and prime locations.
- Cruise hire – We have a fantastic selection of cruise options on the Sydney Harbour to wow your guests. Cruise hire works one of two ways: a low charter fee with catering charged extra per person, or you can pay a higher charter fee which allows you to bring your own drinks and catering.
Remember to always check if your venue hire is a session fee (a few hours) or a full day.
The most popular areas for outdoor venues include:
- The Rocks – With views of the iconic Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House, The Rocks is guaranteed to wow guests. It is also home to some of the best and oldest pubs in Sydney!
- Cruising Sydney Harbour – Soak up the sun or dance the night away on a boat cruise. The incredible views and harbour atmosphere make this our preferred outdoor venue hire in Sydney.
- Sydney Beaches – If you love to be near the ocean, consider a beach function. Sydney has some spectacular beach venues from Maroubra Beach to Manly Beach and everything in between.
Yeah, there are some really good options if you’re planning something low-key. Check out The Courtyard at Adina Sydney Chippendale—it’s a nice little garden spot that’s perfect for casual get-togethers. If you want something a bit more private, Luxury Urban Oasis in Mascot has this cosy outdoor area that works great for a chill lunch or small celebration. And if you’re after a bit of a vibe, Derive Cocktail Bar at Sydney Olympic Park has an outdoor terrace that’s perfect for relaxed drinks.
If you’re planning a birthday, you’ve got plenty of fun options. Bloody Mary’s Gazebo in Kings Cross is a great spot if you’re after a lively atmosphere—it’s made for a good party. For something more laid-back, Three Blue Ducks Rosebery has a cool courtyard and some seriously good food, perfect for a birthday lunch. And if you want a bit of green space, HostCo Sydney in Camperdown has lovely outdoor areas that work for both kids’ parties and grown-up celebrations.
Your Guide to Hiring Outdoor Venues in Sydney
There are several types of outdoor spaces in Sydney for birthdays, weddings, baby showers, and anything in between. We’ve compiled a list of popular venue types and suggestions for you to skip the legwork and find your ideal location without browsing for hours:
Top Outdoor Spaces for Hire
If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience in Sydney, then renting a cruise around Sydney Harbour is your best bet! If you hire a boat for your event, Sydney’s most famous view, with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, will make for an amazing backdrop to your occasion and will certainly wow your guests. No matter whether it’s a wedding, corporate function, or birthday bash, when it comes to outdoor venues in Sydney, boats are our top pick! Popular options include Sea Sydney Harbour in Pyrmont, perfect for birthdays and private lunches, and the luxurious XTsea Luxury Catamaran based in Sydney CBD, ideal for intimate weddings and stylish baby showers.
If you enjoy sitting by the water but boats are not your thing, then a water-facing venue may be the right option for you. These venues often come with beautiful views of the water, which can make for an amazing photo backdrop. Waterfront venues come in all shapes and sizes, from relaxed cafes to the most elegant restaurants, so there’s no worry about whether such a venue will match your event. If you are looking for a water-facing venue that will stun all your guests, start your search with Icebergs Dining Room on Bondi Beach.
Beach Venues
Yes, all beach venues will be water-front venues, but not all water-front venues will be beach venues! The difference is that beach venues have a more casual, relaxed atmosphere. They often have marine decor, such as driftwood and fishing nets, and offer a wide range of seafood options. They’re perfect for relaxed celebrations, such as birthday parties or hen nights.
A rooftop venue is a great option for any event, whether you're planning a birthday party or a corporate function. It offers a unique setting that will give your guests something to talk about. For a more romantic feel, search for a rooftop overlooking the harbour. If you want to add a professional backdrop, search for a rooftop venue in Sydney's CBD. For example, The Surry Rooftop in Surry Hills is ideal for stylish cocktail parties and corporate events.
Venues with gardens give you the best of both worlds: a convenient venue with all the amenities you need for an event and closeness to nature. The natural backdrop is perfect for birthday parties, anniversaries, and baby showers, but also intimate wedding receptions. Consider Moore Park Golf Club in Moore Park, great for relaxed lunches and milestone birthdays, or Mac Maison, an elegant spot perfect for garden weddings and family celebrations.
Terraces and Patios
Choosing a terrace or patio is the best option if you want a regular venue experience but want to take it outside. You'll be able to enjoy all the benefits of an indoor venue without being restricted by walls. Usually covered with umbrellas or retractable roofs, terraces and patios can be used no matter the weather.
Sydney’s Best Outdoor Locations (According To Ratings and Reviews)
- If you’re going by what people really love, The Rooftop Terrace in Pyrmont is a winner with its amazing views and just for being a great spot for pretty much any event.
- Drifters Wharf up in Gosford also gets a lot of love; it’s right on the water and perfect if you’re planning something bigger.
- And if you’re after something pretty and a bit more formal, Laurelbank Willoughby is a top pick, especially for weddings and garden parties.
