OVERVIEW

What You’ll Love About Working with Ivy Ballroom For Your Sydney Wedding:

  • A ballroom designed for transformation. The pillarless layout, six-metre-high ceilings, updated drapery and flexible table configurations give you room to create a reception that feels distinctly yours.
  • Integrated visual production. Use the LED screen wall for custom imagery and special moments throughout the event, with a black drape available when you want it concealed.
  • Merivale expertise behind your celebration. In-house catering, wedding specialists and production support bring key elements together, while approved external entertainment and styling suppliers give you added creative flexibility.

Ivy Ballroom gives you a generous, pillarless space that can shift with the mood of your celebration. The pillarless room leaves plenty of space to play with your layout, while six-metre-high ceilings and refreshed interiors bring a polished, contemporary feel. Updated drapery, custom carpet and a darker ceiling give the ballroom a warmer finish, with the new LED screen adding another option for styling, visuals and those big reception moments.

As part of Merivale, the experience goes well beyond the room itself. Their wedding team can help bring together the food, florals, lighting and production, while you still have the flexibility to bring in your own musicians, DJs and approved stylists. For dinner, choose between classic round tables or rectangular tables for 10, with room for up to 330 seated guests or 850 for a cocktail celebration.

        From our very first meeting to the very last, you made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. Your professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to help with anything we needed gave us so much confidence leading up to the wedding and made every decision along the way feel effortless. Everything came together so perfectly on the day, and we are beyond grateful for all of your hard work behind the scenes. We’ve had nothing but incredible feedback from our guests about the venue, the amazing food, and the service throughout the night. So many people have told us it was one of the best weddings they’ve been too, and that’s a true credit to the entire team who worked so hard to make everything absolutely perfect. We truly appreciate everything you did to make our wedding day so special and memorable. It was an absolute pleasure working with you Carmen & Kellie, and a special shoutout to Stuart and the team that accommodated to us so effortlessly on the night. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team, and couldn’t be any happier with choosing ivy Ballroom as our wedding reception.

        Working with Kellie and the team at Ivy was in one word, amazing. No question, request or query was ever too much and if it was possible, they made it happen. The night ran seamlessly and well exceeding all expectations that we could have ever had. All our guests raved about the excellent Totti’s menu that was offered and no one went home hungry in the slightest. The staff throughout the night were impeccable and ensured that as the bride and groom, we did not need to worry about anything on the night, as well as ensuring that all our guests were adequately taken care of. Highly recommend any event at Ivy and all Merivale venues and will endeavour to hold all future events with the Merivale group.
