Reviews for Wedding Reception venues in Sydney, AU
JENESSA E.
If I could give this place and the host more than 5 stars, I would! Edward and site manager Tyler were such a pleasure to work with, they even helped carry in our equipment. The pool is gorgeous. Very Miami, very Greece, very beautiful. Well kept and recently updated. Loved shooting here!
Matt M.
Great location, very accommodating to our schedule. Amenities were great as well (areas for staging, makeup & styling, plenty of fold out tables, etc). Highly recommend.
Cate C.
Angela is a wonderful location host and works with you to make sure you have the best experience and what you need. Site is versatile and can easily be converted to night during the day if needed. Lots of cool props as well!
Clark J.
This house is a hard to find retro space that is in good shape, on a large lot and production friendly. The owner is amazing and helps navigate in this often filmed neighborhood. The neighborhood is pro-filming, and has a system worked out to make it easy for production to rent neighbors driveways, spaces, etc. I wish all locations had this kind of support.
All doorways are 36 inches, much wider than normal, which makes production so much easier. A really great find. Even if not the look you are going for, would recommend it as a great place to art out the world you want. A+ experience.
Adam R.
Elvira was very friendly and accommodating, and the space was incredible! Highly recommend.
Taylor W.
This was a great experience! Wonderful location with so much to shoot, we got a really authentic look for this location! Very happy with the results
Nycce G.

Planning a Magnificent Wedding Reception in Sydney

Saving Money on a Wedding Ceremony in Sydney
Giggster is here to help you find affordable wedding venues to produce a sentimental day without breaking the bank. Here are our recommendations for planning a memorable event and sticking to your budget.
Host the wedding ceremony and reception at the same place.
You can save money by hosting both your ceremony and reception at the same place. Planning your entire wedding in one location will save time, and you won't have to spend money hiring two different wedding spaces.
Explore affordable wedding packages.
Many venues have bespoke wedding packages, including rental fees, planning, and catering. A package could also cover entertainment; these plans make your event more affordable.
Choose an affordable menu.
Food is always an important part of the wedding reception. From appetisers to the main meal, being happy with what your guests are being served will remove stress. Considering the expense? A menu with seasonal items costs less than one with out-of-season ingredients. Buffet service is also cheaper than plated meals due to the lower staffing costs.
