Frequently asked
How is venue hire priced?
On a minimum spend across food and beverage rather than a flat room fee, so what you pay goes into the event itself. The figure moves with the venue, the day and the time of year, with Sunday to Thursday the lowest and December the highest. Send your date and guest numbers and a coordinator will come back with the exact minimum spend for that date.
What is the largest venue you can hire?
Walsh Bay, for a standing event. The pier restaurant with the boardwalk and The Bayview each take 248 seated or 500 standing. Pyrmont seats the most, at 260 seated or 400 standing.
Which venue hire suits a smaller budget?
Schniti Haberfield. It is the most modest room in the group and the easiest full venue to get on a Saturday, which usually makes it the lowest commitment in the group. A coordinator will confirm the minimum spend for your date.
Can we hire a venue on a Saturday?
Yes, subject to availability. Saturdays and Fridays are our busiest trade, so they go early and December goes earliest of all. Sunday to Thursday opens up far more readily. Send your date through and the reservations team will tell you what is still free.
Does exclusive use include the outdoor areas?
Yes. Where a venue has a courtyard, terrace or boardwalk, full venue hire includes it. That is stated per space in the table above.
How long do we get the venue for?
Standard hire is four to five hours plus bump-in. Longer runs are quoted, and licensing sets the hard finish at each site.
