Banquet Hall at Sydney Masonic Centre

About this space

Located on Level 1, the Banquet Hall boasts seven metre high ceilings and features stylish architectural timber acoustic panelling, timber and carpeted flooring and high speed internet connectivity of up to 1000 mbps up and down.

The Banquet Hall is commonly used for gala dinners, exhibition and catering, cocktail parties and conferencing. The installation of new Panasonic 12,000 lumen laser light source data projectors deliver crystal clarity, brightness and resolution that is ideal for video and film screenings as well as highlighting the granular detail in speakers’ presentations.

New rigging infrastructure provides added flexibility and the advantage of quick turnarounds when re-setting rooms for different styles of events. A motorised truss in the Banquet Hall and new centrally placed ceiling motors allow for rigging special effects including giant chandeliers and mirror balls.

These staging devices and capabilities mean that event organisers have the option to restyle the same room from conference mode to gala mode with ease and efficiency.

A newly installed intelligent architectural lighting system allows for lights to be easily and precisely programmed for different functions. Perimeter RGB shadow lighting allows for different colour combinations and mood lighting states. House lighting throughout has been upgraded to second generation LEDs for improved light output and energy efficiency. Event organisers will simply use touch screens to select options to light their presenters and performers, add stage washes and special effects as well as change the room ambience. Depending on the style of each event, and if needed, SMC’s AV technicians can also control all lighting from one central location.
