Pricing often covers exclusive use of the space, tables and chairs, basic sound equipment, and staff. At minimum spend venues, catering, and drinks usually contribute toward your total spend. Per-person pricing generally includes food and sometimes beverages, depending on the package.
Totally. While Sydney CBD and The Rocks are packed with upscale venues, the suburbs are packed with unique spots too. Parramatta has colourful spots like Colors of India with event packages starting at $30 per person, and Hurstville has places like Humphrey’s Hotel that can handle big crowds without blowing your budget. Western Sydney gives you loads of bang for your buck, with great food, easy parking, and less stress.
They do! Look for venues with minimum spends around $1,000–$2,000 per session (like Vecino in Glebe or Cardea in Barangaroo). These give you private space and let your food and drinks count toward that spend. So you still get that “private dining” exclusivity without going over the top. Or go for venues with event packages (per person). Some solid spots like the Brix Distillery and Missony Restaurant charge around $36–$65 and still deliver a great night out.
Yes, quite a few venues let you personalise things. Private function rooms and rooftop spots are usually the most flexible. Some restaurants might have house rules, but you can often bring centrepieces, balloons, or even set up a photo wall. Just give the venue a heads-up. It’s all super easy to organise through Tagvenue.
