FAQs about Top Small Function Rooms in Sydney
There are three prominent pricing models for small function rooms in Sydney. First is a hire fee that requires you to pay for a day or for an hour to use the venue. This rate ranges between $190 – $1800 and is most commonly used by hotels and boats that offer their spaces. The second is a per person rate, which typically falls between $20 – $130 per guest. Last but not least, the minimum spend pricing model is most frequently used by bars and restaurants. This option means you commit to spending a set amount of money on food and drinks. Prices can range from $250 – $2000.
Sydney is full of spaces that will leave you satisfied. Among the most popular ones are:
- Minimal style venues. You can't go wrong choosing a neat, professional-looking space. Simple is best when you have a lot on your plate and want the function to run smoothly.
- Unique venues. There is more to choose from with a shorter guest-list. Smaller groups fit in places unavailable for bigger ones. Why not hire a small private boat and have an event there? Sydney is known as The Harbour City for a reason.
- Trendy and laid-back. Tired of hiring the same old venue for all of your functions? Give it a fresh take with a hip industrial venue or a pub function room of your liking. This fresh style is sure to help you create a memorable experience for your guests.
While small function rooms are no worse than the large ones when it comes to hosting your event, there are some points you certainly have to keep in mind. We suggest choosing furniture that is light and easy to move around the room to adjust it to your needs. Make sure the room provides proper ventilation or has air conditioning. Minimise the decor, so it’s not overwhelming, and remove anything that will not be useful for your event out of the room.
Start your search for the small function room in Sydney’s CBD. Centrally located, it’s a great place for business and parties alike. If you fancy a historical area with a view of The Harbour, search around The Rocks and Potts Points. Look around Parramatta if you’re a fan of vibrant and buzzing neighbourhoods.
Your Guide to Hiring Small Function Rooms in Sydney
Whether you’re planning a serious business meeting or meeting up with friends for an informal celebration, Sydney has all the best venues for your event. And if you’re thinking a small venue can limit your fun, think again! We’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions in our guide to help you choose the perfect small space for your event.
Tips to Choose the Best Small Function Space in Sydney
- Capacity – Small doesn't automatically mean stuffy, so make sure to match your guest number to the capacity of the function room. Everyone should have a place to sit and enough space to move around comfortably. Additionally, if people are allowed to bring a plus one, be sure to count them in.
- Catering – Even a small group has to eat, so don't forget to plan food and drinks. Some venues offer in-house catering while others allow you to hire someone externally or bring your own food. The easiest way to find out what is allowed is to contact the venue manager and inquire directly.
- On-site amenities - Depending on the type of event you’re organising, see if the venue you’re interested in has everything for your event to run successfully. Check for any audiovisual equipment, a flip chart or a whiteboard, and a projector if you’re hosting a business or corporate meeting. Make sure the venue provides Wi-Fi if you need it. It’s also worth checking whether the venue has air conditioning or a good ventilation system to provide the best conditions for your guests.
