How many people can fit into a Sydney venue?

While most Sydney venues will be able to guide and help you manage capacity for your upcoming private party or corporate event, you can make your own calculations to be sure. As a general rule, you'll want to have 2-4 square meters per person, but remember that seating style and layout can affect capacity, so speak to your venue operator to be sure.

Does location matter for Sydney venues?

Location is one of the most important factors when choosing between different event venues. You might want to be near Sydney Harbour so that you can enjoy the breathtaking views of Sydney's CBD and the Sydney Harbour.
