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:

  • Award-winning Catering. The Merivale restaurant group is behind all of the city's favourite restaurants, including Mr Wong's, uccello, Fred's, and many more. This same team runs the catering at Establishment Ballroom, so you're in amazing hands when it comes to selecting your wedding menus.

  • Sydney CBD Location. Have you always pictured a chic urban wedding? If so, this place is your dream city venue. Set in the heart of the CBD, Establishment Ballroom has the feel of a cool downtown hotel without any stuffiness or old school decor.

  • Boutique Hotel Accommodation. Establishment Hotel is housed in the same precinct, offering plush, modern suites and a couple of penthouses. Each suite has its own character, and you'll love the beautiful design and convenient location, especially at the end of your wedding night.

June 2023

Everything was absolutely perfect! From the beginning the team were so helpful and patient with my multiple emails. Renee and Sarah really gave me the confidence that our wedding was in good hands. I knew that Merivale puts on some next level events and have such an amazing reputation, trust me they definitely did not disappoint. From the attention we received in the bridal suite, to the service that my guests received and the exquisite food…. My guests were coming up to me throughout the night saying how blown away they were with everything!! Like that steak was melt in your mouth, the pineapple cream puffs were out of this world and the cheese burger spring rolls to die for!!!! Our parents are still receiving messages and calls from friends and family to rave about what a fabulous night they had. I also wanted to say a special thank to
