If you’re planning a wedding in Sydney, you’re in for a treat! The city is home to some of the best chefs and catering companies in the country. As a result, you’ll have no trouble finding a venue to serve up delicious dishes for your big day.

To help you narrow down your options, we’ve compiled a list of our favourite Sydney wedding menus. From seasonal Australian fare to seafood dishes and extensive roving menus, there’s something for every budget, preference and dietary need. Let’s dive in!

1. Ovolo Woolloomooloo

Situated on a historic wharf overlooking Sydney Harbour, this 5-star hotel has multiple event spaces for hosting receptions. The Piper Room is ideal for sit-down meals, with various multi-course menus on offer. Meanwhile, the Alibi Bar is a popular spot for drinks and canapés.

Whatever reception style you go for, Ovolo Woolloomooloo promises contemporary native cuisine made with local ingredients. Their pan-roasted mulloway with fennel salad and caper butter is a solid choice for the main. Or you might prefer a chef-manned oyster station instead.
