We are an Irish couple and a wedding finishing at 11pm is not what we’d be used to. We’re looking for a venue that could go until 2 or 3am.

Hi! We completely understand—Irish weddings are known for celebrating well into the night, and we're very familiar with hosting Irish couples and their style of reception!
The great news is that we're one of the very few wedding venues in Sydney with a licence to operate until 3:00am. We've been an established venue since 1942, so we have decades of experience creating unforgettable celebrations that don't have to end at 11pm.
We'd love to chat with you about your wedding and show you how we can create the late-night celebration you're looking for. Feel free to get in touch anytime—we'd be delighted to help!
