Wedding Reception Venues in South West Sydney

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Two formal reception rooms and one Italian restaurant make up the wedding choices here, spread across Bankstown, Belmore and Smithfield. The decision turns on the size of the guest list and whether you want a ballroom night or a long family feast.

Big families with 300-plus guests will lean towards the reception rooms, while a smaller wedding of close relatives can take over a restaurant floor.

Where each reception venue fits:

The Clairemont, 53 Raymond Street, Bankstown: a pillar-free French Provincial ballroom with 4.5 metre ceilings, seated or standing for up to 400, one event at a time.
The Victorian @ Clarence House, 454 Burwood Road, Belmore: chandeliers and Tiffany chairs for 110 to 320, with styling, drinks and a dance floor in each package.
Candelori's, 685 The Horsley Drive, Smithfield: a main dining room built around an open kitchen clad in marble for bigger groups, with pricing from $90 per person.
Portraits: The Clairemont's sweeping staircase gives the bridal party a ready-made photo spot.
Family cuisines: both The Clairemont and Clarence House build menus around your guests' cultural backgrounds.

Parking is straightforward at all three: a three-level car park at The Clairemont, a dedicated off-site lot at Clarence House and free parking behind Candelori's.
