Hens Party Venues in The Rocks

How to Choose the Right Hens Party Venue

Glass walls and room for 50 at cocktails make the Sky Tower on Level Three of The Oriana a strong base for a bride-to-be and her friends. The venue occupies the terminal's northern end on Circular Quay West across four levels, with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge both in view, so a hens group can choose the floor that matches its size and mood.

Smaller bridal parties can sit down together in the 30-seat tower corner of the Level Two restaurant, while bigger groups spread onto the Level One decks or take a section of the ground-floor beer garden.

Hens formats The Oriana can host:

A long lunch for the inner circle: the 30-seat tower corner in the restaurant
Cocktails with the harbour around you: the glass-walled Sky Tower for 50, beside the Harbour Room
A deck party with music: the Bridge View Deck faces Campbells Cove, holds 85 and is set up for music and simple AV
A relaxed afternoon: beer garden sections downstairs for 60 to 80
A full evening function: the Harbour Room takes 175 standing, with private terraces, an open kitchen and a bar

Canapé packages start from $50 per person for six pieces with a minimum of 20 guests, and grazing stations of cold seafood, tacos or cheese and charcuterie can be added for groups of 30 or more.

Circular Quay station, the light rail and the ferry wharves are a short walk away, so the group can arrive together and move on easily
A lift serves every level, which helps mothers, grandmothers and anyone in heels
Drinks can run on a package from two hours, or on a bar tab set up in advance
Hire fees may apply to some spaces, so ask when you enquire
