Questions about the venue
Can we have both ceremony and reception here?+
Yes. Bay 3 is divided into separate spaces that allow you to hold your ceremony in one area and transition guests to the reception zone, or use the outdoor grounds for the ceremony.
Is parking available for guests?+
Limited on-site parking is available. The venue is accessible by public transport via Redfern Station (approximately 10 minutes walk) and can accommodate rideshare drop-offs.
What's included in the venue hire?+
Venue hire includes the space, tables, chairs, and basic lighting. Catering, bar service, and additional styling are arranged separately through The Grounds' event team.
Are outside vendors permitted?+
The Grounds operates with preferred vendor partners for catering and bar service. Photography, florals, music, and other services can be arranged independently.
What's the weather contingency?+
The indoor spaces within Bay 3 provide full weather protection. The grounds and outdoor areas are weather-dependent; discuss backup plans with the venue during consultation.
