OVERVIEW
Establishment Ballroom in the heart of Sydney CBD is a chic, modern wedding venue with a large terrace attached that overlooks Establishment Gardens. As part of the Merivale Group, this venue offers award-winning cuisine and impeccable service. Just steps away, there's a gorgeous penthouse suite in the boutique hotel of Establishment Precinct that makes a lovely retreat for your wedding night.
As part of Establishment Precinct, Establishment Ballroom is surrounded by amazing restaurants, bars, shops, and that lively urban feel you love about Sydney CBD. The ballroom itself is like a private oasis within that setting, offering both a spacious indoor reception area as well as a charming New York style terrace. Your wedding can easily flow between the spaces, allowing your guests to feel completely at ease.
The Merivale Group runs Establishment Ballroom, and you can expect award-winning cuisine and the service to match. Best of all, you don't have to extend your supplier search far and wide, and instead you can work with the in-house stylists, florists, event production team, and AV team for lighting, staging, and more. At the end of the day, you'll be able to have a completely bespoke wedding with the ease of working with just the Merivale team.
Top three things you’ll love about your Establishment Ballroom wedding:
