Weddings at Kittyhawk Sydney Restaurant

Add Parisian flair and a hint of nostalgia to your wedding with one of Sydney’s most unique wedding venues: Kittyhawk, right in the middle of Sydney’s CBD and next to the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens. Inspired by Paris during France’s liberation in WWII, Kittyhawk blends Parisian chic with subtle military memorabilia and an appetite for a party. Get married in your choice of rooms, or another stunning location nearby, and party like it’s 1944 – take your choice of three different spaces or hire the whole venue for exclusive use for you and your guests. 


The Scene at Kittyhawk Sydney

Kittyhawk is one of Sydney’s most charming venues, with a style that incorporates Parisian chic with touches of WWII memorabilia – without the kitsch. With an emphasis on great food, original drinks, and a good time, Kittyhawk is a memorable venue for any wedding, big or small. 

Choose the whole venue for exclusive use, or your pick of three distinctive areas for your reception. As for the ceremony, choose between the private Officers’ Mess, the Officers’ Mess balcony or the sun-drenched Conservatory, complete with large French windows and lush greenery, creating a natural and beautiful backdrop.

With options for formal or laidback weddings, large or small, Kittyhawk is a versatile venue suitable for most couples who want to celebrate in style. 


Kittyhawk Sydney Wedding Ceremonies

There are three options for you to have your ceremony at Kittyhawk:

  • The exclusive and private Officers’ Mess can hold ceremonies near the bar, allowing you to create your own backdrop with the whole room — and your guests — in front of you.
  • The Officers’ Mess Balcony, which is open and more casual, with light flooding in through the balcony windows
  • For a truly romantic setting, choose to get married in the Conservatory. It has large French windows for natural daylight and plenty of greenery for a natural yet classy affair that doesn’t require additional decoration.

If you’d rather have your ceremony off-site, choose to get married at the nearby Royal Botanic Gardens – one of Sydney’s most iconic spots with a dramatic backdrop – Aurora Place, or the State Library of NSW, all within walking distance of Kittyhawk.


Kittyhawk Sydney Wedding Receptions

Receptions at Kittyhawk come with black linen tablecloths, personalised menus, cake and gift table, and candles throughout the space. All areas are decked out in vintage Parisian-style décor and subtle hints of WWII memorabilia, creating a chic and stylish venue for any wedding reception.
