Plan the guest journey

Plan the movements between ceremony, photos and reception before comparing room hire. Ask how supplier loading, guest drop-off and parking work at the actual address.

Compare the room, not just the headline capacity

Ask for the measured floor plan and the capacity for your proposed tables, dance floor and service arrangement. A listed seated capacity is a starting point; confirm the actual setup, access requirements and room changeovers with the venue.

Sydney ceremony and reception travel

Use the actual ceremony and reception addresses when planning guest arrival and the return trip. Transport for NSW offers a trip planner with route, timetable and service information; check the planned date and finish time, and arrange another option for guests whose route does not suit them.

Check who manages an outdoor ceremony site

The City of Sydney has specific guidance for ceremonies in its parks and public spaces; requirements depend on the proposed use and equipment. Other councils and land managers may have different conditions, so check the exact site and any separate reception arrangements.

  • Which indoor backup and guest access arrangements are confirmed?

Planning example

Check the details before committing

A ceremony and reception on different sides of the city need a realistic travel buffer. Ask both venues when guests and suppliers can arrive, then put the handover times in the run sheet.
