OVERVIEW
The Mint is a time capsule in the centre of it all. Known to be Sydney’s oldest public building, Museums of History NSW has preserved the property to take you on a journey back to a bygone era. It’s a timeless museum wedding venue where your love story can become the next chapter of its rich history.
The Mint includes three award-winning event spaces for your wedding day, two of which are located outside for the ultimate alfresco atmosphere. Couples are instantly drawn to the Sandstone Courtyard for its rustic pave stones and arched walkways which make a gorgeous backdrop to ceremonies and wedding photographs. The raised lawn introduces a refreshing green oasis that contrasts to the cooling stone setting. Long banqueting tables below festoon lights make a spellbinding scene for a dinner under the stars.
If you need a wet weather option, a stylish glass bar runs along the side of the Sandstone Courtyard for pre-dinner drinks and canapes. Your guests can then be led into the Gold Melting Room for an a la carte meal by the highly regarded Pearl Catering team. This is the largest function space on offer with state-of-the-art technology and an architecturally-designed curved wooden ceiling. It’s an inspiring example of how the venue seamlessly blends the old with the new.

FAQ
There are two ceremony locations, on either the Raised Lawn or Sandstone Courtyard (in front of the arches). While the site is closed on the weekends, for weekday weddings the site is open to the public, and we offer a partially exclusive hire of a specific area of the site.
A wet weather call will be made at the start of your booking time. The wet weather back-up is the Gold Melting Room or the Bar area (for smaller groups).
There are two reception locations, either the Raised Lawn or the Gold Melting Room. Should you be holding both your ceremony and reception at the Mint, we cannot accommodate both ceremony and reception on the lawn, should you choose to have a lawn reception, the ceremony would be held on the Sandstone Courtyard.
Please note the venue does not supply a photographer. Wedding photography is available in internal and external public areas of the site as guided by your Event Supervisor on the day (weekday weddings this may be limited as the site is open to the public).

Get Expert AdviceWhat are all the considerations we need for an outdoor wedding?
Hi there, we are considering an outdoor wedding. What are any pitfalls we'd need to prepare for, or ways in which outdoor weddings are handled differently to indoor ones?
The Mint
One of the most important aspects for booking an outdoor ceremony location is that you have a wet weather back-up option either at the same venue, or at an alternate venue. I suggest looking for venues that offer an included wet weather solution suitable for the number of guests you expect to attend, so you don't have to pay additional costs for a second back-up venue, or to hire a wet weather structure such as a marquee, which can add thousands to your budget.
Additionally, you want to consider season and temperatures, shade and position of the sun. If it's Summer, you want to have some shade, or be able to add some nice garden umbrellas to your set-up, and in Winter, you want to have an area where you can have sunshine, which will still be warming, if it's a cooler day.
The position of the sun, and time of year needs to be considered, so you don't end up planning a wedding where the couple end up being blinded by the sun, and can't see each other properly during this important moment (and all the photos are of you squinting), or guests are all facing the sun, and also can't enjoy watching the ceremony, and you are silhouetted again the brightness behind you.
Lastly, try to have the alter set in all shade or all sun, not dappled shade, so your photographer can get the best photos!
