Set within one of the world’s most beautiful cultural precincts, the Art Gallery is one of the finest locations in Sydney for weddings.

With enchanting views of parklands and the harbour and magnificent architecture and artworks, it offers unparalleled photo opportunities and the chance to create memories to last a lifetime. 

Whether you have your heart set on a sophisticated cocktail function or an elegant banquet, let us bring your dream wedding to life.

Our experienced and professional events team will guide you through every stage of the planning process, ensuring that you have a stress-free experience from beginning to end.

An event that reflects you

You can host your wedding ceremony and reception, or your reception only, at the Art Gallery. We’ll work with you to create an event – whatever the size or style – that reflects you and celebrates your relationship.

The restaurant and function room in our original south building, now known as Naala Nura, can host up to 116 guests for a seated reception.

For larger weddings, these two event spaces can be combined to accommodate more guests (up to 200 cocktail-style). 

Additional event spaces are available in Naala Badu, our stunning new north building, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning Tokyo-based architects SANAA. 

Meers Hall can host up to 220 guests for a banquet reception or 350 guests for a cocktail-style event. MOD Dining can host up to 120 guests cocktail-style with a dancefloor.

Premium catering

If you’re wanting to simply enjoy your wedding day without having to worry about the countless moving parts, then you’ll be pleased to know we also provide a premium catering service

You’ll also be making a difference

Venue hire at the Art Gallery contributes to bringing art to the community by funding Gallery programs. When you choose us for your wedding, you’ll be directly supporting the arts in Australia.
