Sydney wedding venues

Choosing the right location for your wedding can be overwhelming, especially in a city like Sydney, with its dazzling harbour views that lend itself to celebration. The Observatory Hotel makes choosing a venue easy, with its stunning location and renowned attention to detail giving you the perfect combination of elegance and convenience in the one package.

Receptions at The Observatory Hotel

Located in the iconic Rocks area, The Observatory Hotel sits just across the road from Observatory Hill, which overlooks the Harbour itself. Ideal for an intimate wedding as well as larger parties, we specialise in sit-down banquets from 50 to 100 guests. Our well-appointed function rooms are beautifully designed to create an elegant and inviting atmosphere for your reception.

Your guests can be welcomed with drinks and canapés in the Drawing Room, before moving into a choice of two banquet rooms for a sumptuous 3-course meal. Our Michelin-starred Executive Chef, Masahiko Yomoda, specialises in fine French cuisine, blending this with intriguing international spices in his own signature style.

We also take great pride in our beverage list, and offer a five-hour beverage service with our wedding packages. Our sommelier chooses only the finest wines, premium beers and top shelf liquor from around the world.

An outdoor wedding on Observatory Hill

We also offer some unique approaches to wedding receptions. An outdoor reception on Observatory Hill offers stunning views of the Harbour as well as ample space for your guest list. Our substantial canapés or cocktail menus are perfect for an outdoor reception.
