FAQs about Top Wedding Venues in Sydney

We’re here to provide you with the most relevant data on wedding venue hire prices in Sydney:

  • Many Sydney wedding venues charge a hire fee which only covers the cost of using the space for your ceremony or reception. The hire fees for weddings in Sydney start at around $500 for modest, minimal spaces and normally range between $1000 and $2500.
  • Many Sydney wedding venues, especially hotels and restaurants, work on a minimum spend basis. This means you’re obligated to spend an agreed sum of money on food and drinks, but you’re not paying for using the space.  The usual minimum spend rates for wedding venues in Sydney vary between $2000 and $5000, depending on the size of your wedding reception.
  • Last but not least, heaps of Sydney venues offer designated wedding package deals, which often make fantastic value for money! A wedding package usually covers the food and drinks set menu and the venue hire costs, but it might also include such extras as decoration or event services.(All data from Tagvenue.)

When it comes to wedding venues for hire in Sydney, the most sought-after neighbourhoods include:

  • Sydney Harbour – It’s one of the most picturesque waterfronts on the globe, so it’s no surprise that many people are keen on celebrating getting hitched with a view of it! Luckily, it offers plenty of wedding reception venues that will meet and even exceed your expectations.
  • Lane Cove – This beautiful area is a part of a peninsula near Port Jackson, which means wonderful riverside views. The district is home to many green spaces, so it’s perfect if you’re looking for a rustic, laid-back celebration close to nature.
  • North Sydney – Although usually associated with business settings and offices, North Sydney boasts many stunning wedding venues, too! This normally bustling area slows down on the weekends, which creates the perfect ambience for wedding celebrations. The district is full of charming restaurants and historical buildings just right for wedding receptions and ceremonies. Oh, and don’t forget the northern beaches! Our favourites include Manly and Avalon.
  • Mosman – This affluent suburb is located on the edge of the harbour, which means beautiful architecture and gorgeous views of Sydney's city centre. It sounds like a stunning wedding location, doesn’t it? We’re not surprised it’s becoming increasingly popular.
  • Olympic Park – Yes, there’s more to it than just sports! Sydney Olympic Park is full of green spaces which work amazingly well as wedding locations and spaces for marquee wedding venues. If you’re looking for a unique wedding spot in Western Sydney, this is the place!

To ensure you have plenty of options, securing your venue as soon as possible is crucial.  It is typically best to book your wedding venue at least 12 to 18  months in advance. Although it may seem like a long time, we can assure you that wedding venues, particularly in popular locations like Sydney, become unavailable quite quickly. Therefore, be cautious and begin the booking process right away.

How to Secure The Best Wedding Halls in Sydney?

Sydney is one of the top wedding destinations in the world. But with demand so high, especially during peak wedding season, securing your venue early is essential. Read our smart planning tips to help you lock in the perfect spot:

  • Guest list size matters – Whether you’re hosting an intimate 20-person dinner or a 400-guest party, it’s crucial to book a space that fits just right. Use Tagvenue’s filters to easily match venues to your headcount.
  • Accommodation sorted – Expecting out-of-town guests? Consider hotel venues around the CBD or Circular Quay, where accommodation and reception can happen under one roof—ideal for convenience and atmosphere.
  • Be flexible with dates – The most popular wedding venues in Sydney, especially coastal spots like Manly or venues with skyline views, get snapped up fast. Keep a few backup dates in mind to boost your chances.
  • Alcohol rules vary – Want to BYO wine or spirits? Some venues allow it, but many charge corkage. Always check the policy upfront. Tagvenue’s search filters make it easy to find BYO-friendly options.

Booked Entire Venue at Will & Mike's
5.0
Absolutely incredible venue and staff!! We had our wedding here and Will was responsive, accommodating and professional. All of our guests raved about the food, service and venue. We could even tailor the drinks menu for our function- nothing was out of the realm of possibility it seemed. We would not have changed a thing and could not have asked for anything more. This venue and its staff are worth ×100 more than they charge! Would not hesitate to book again or recommend. Thank you so much Will and Mike's for making our wedding dream a reality.

My husband and I recently got married at Bellevue cottage. We could not of asked for a better venue. Rodolfo the manager looked after everything and was there for any specific requests made for our ceremony and reception. Food and drink service was fantastic and having an indoor outdoor option was something special. Will definitely recommend as a function venue and restaurant as we have previously dined there also.
