There’s a new trend emerging in the wedding world, and it’s all about having an epic celebration with just your nearest and dearest. Weddings are smaller in size but grander in scale, and they’re the perfect way to tie the knot without all the fuss and fanfare.
To help our couples plan their smaller Big Day, we’ve put together a hand-picked list of the top 7 small and mid-sized wedding venues in Sydney. We’ve also included a few photo samples and links to real weddings for a total blast of wedding planning inspo.
One of our couples had the best experience with the Opera House and their event partner, Trippas White Group. You’ll never believe it, but they had to find an indoor wedding venue just two days before their wedding due to unstoppable rain. And the Opera House was able to accommodate them—in March, one of the most popular months for weddings in Sydney! This wedding was even featured in Hello May magazine.
There is a venue hire fee, a minimum spend on food and beverages, and a fee to arrange wedding photography access for photos in the interiors. But hey, it’s the Opera House! It’s worth it, right?
Planning your wedding to be small(ish) but totally rad?! Kittyhawk is the place to be. It’s located right in the middle of Sydney’s CBD and next to the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens
Charming, dark and moody atmosphere. Its style incorporates Parisian chic with touches of WWII memorabilia. Kittyhawk is a memorable venue for any wedding, big or small.
The Mint is a former gold refinery, and its stunning industrial-chic aesthetic is sure to wow your guests. From the soaring ceilings to the exposed brickwork, there’s plenty of eye candy to go around.
The team at The Mint are also experts at creating a personalized experience for every couple, so you can be sure that your wedding will be truly one of a kind.
Even though we haven’t had an opportunity to photograph a small wedding at the Mint, we have had an great experience capturing a big and lush wedding on of Cindy and Patrick.
