Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Where the reception sits says a lot about the wedding, and Camperdown offers three distinct moods. Courtyard Restaurant & Bar @ HostCo Sydney is a stone-paved courtyard framed by white classical building fronts on Science Road; Bligh AB @ Rydges Camperdown is a Missenden Road hotel function room set up for weddings as readily as conferences; and The Pavilion @ Camperdown Commons, on Mallett Street, hosts small weddings and receptions beside an urban farm.

Comparing seated numbers and style:

  • A large guest list: the HostCo Courtyard seats 200 at tables, or 500 for a standing reception.
  • A classic dinner-and-dance: Bligh AB seats 80 for dinner and has a dance floor for the first dance.
  • A garden-feel reception: The Pavilion seats 80 at long banquet tables under a timber roof that opens onto the farm.
  • Room to grow: the Pavilion, Sun Room and courtyard together take 140 seated.
  • Guests from out of town: Rydges has accommodation on site.

For speeches, HostCo has a built-in PA and the Pavilion's hire covers handheld mics and a portable stage, while Bligh AB's sound system links to laptops, phones and PA systems.
