Wedding Reception Venues in Blacktown

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

A reception for 70 at round tables, a private bar and a host looking after the night: Function Room @ Blacktown Tavern on Kildare Road is set up for a relaxed Blacktown wedding.

The room sits apart from the family-friendly pub and holds 120 for a cocktail reception, and the speeches and photo slideshow are covered by its microphone, sound system and TVs. An event manager works through the planning with the couple beforehand.

Planning the reception in the Tavern's room:

A seated dinner: 70 guests at round tables, with two-course or three-course set menus
Canapés and mingling: a 120-guest cocktail format, with six-, eight- or ten-item packages from $40 per person
Toasts and a slideshow: microphone and sound system, with TVs to play the photos
Guests travelling in: hotel rooms at the pub and free onsite parking
Accessibility: the Function Room is wheelchair accessible

The layout is flexible, from formal round tables to high tables for a crowd on its feet. Instead of canapés, couples can choose an Italian-style grazing spread of salads, pasta and pizza, and catering needs at least 30 guests.

Formally set round tables, or high tables if guests will stand
A private bar inside the room, so guests stay together rather than drifting into the main pub
An event manager beforehand and a dedicated host on the night
Free Wi-Fi alongside the sound system and screens
