With plenty of natural light, modern design elements, and luxurious finishes, this contemporary cocktail lounge is a stylish option for couples looking to host a wedding with character and grace.

The Scene at Pullman Quay Grand Sydney Weddings at Hyde Hacienda
Imagine this: You and your partner walk into your wedding reception. There are splashes of pastel pink and mint green brightening the room, hanging lights illuminate the faces of your loved ones, and in the background is a stunning view of Sydney’s famed harbour.
Your guests are armed with colourful cocktails and Hyde Hacienda Sydney Bar + Lounge is decorated with plenty of natural greenery — it’s a chic but cheeky affair. The lounge’s window walls are removed to give the room an alfresco feel, while your guests are weather-safe inside. It’s the perfect modern reception venue for a couple that wants a fresh, modern wedding.
The atmosphere at Hyde Hacienda weddings can best be described as fun and vibrant, but don’t let that fool you — the colourful cocktail lounge is synonymous with luxury. The venue is located within the 5-star Pullman Quay Grand Sydney hotel, so you know your guests will have a relaxing and indulgent time when they’re not dancing up a storm at your wedding. Being a centrally located venue and close to many of Sydney’s iconic landmarks, out-of-town guests — and even locals — can marvel at the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge and Royal Botanic Gardens during their leisure time.
Wedding Ceremonies at Pullman Quay Grand Sydney
If you’re looking for a one-stop-shop to have your ceremony, reception, and wedding night, you’re in luck, as Pullman Quay Grand Sydney weddings include all three.
Intimate weddings are catered for at the beautiful El Vista Lounge & Bar, a sleek and contemporary wine bar with ample natural light and gentle touches of colour. Depending on the size of your guest list, you may be able to have a stunning indoor ceremony with sweeping Sydney Harbour views in the background and without the worry of bad weather.
However, if you’re hunting for an outdoor ceremony location, there are plenty nearby. Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens is minutes away from El Vista on foot and offers 12 beautiful ceremony venues, so you can have the best of both worlds — a romantic garden ceremony paired with a modern, stylish reception. The ceremony options at the Royal Botanic Gardens can cater to both small and large guest numbers, and range from lawns overlooking the harbour to rose gardens.
Wedding Receptions at Pullman Quay Grand Sydney
If you’re wanting a luxurious, modern city wedding reception with elevated views over Sydney Harbour, look no further. The 5-star Pullman Quay Grand Sydney hotel offers two distinct wedding reception venues to tickle your fancy. The first boasts a combination of colour and views, while the latter offers a chic and sophisticated space for more intimate affairs.
The first, El Vista Lounge & Bar, is Pullman Quay Grand’s modern answer to a wedding reception venue. The recently renamed, award-winning cocktail lounge needs minimal decorating (if any) for a reception. Its floor-to-ceiling fold-back windows open up too, giving your reception a fresh al fresco feeling. If you’re interested in a relaxed, modern wedding, Hyde Hacienda can cater for up to 180 wedding guests cocktail style Sunday through to Wednesday.
On the hunt for something a bit more polished? Q Dining, Pullman Quay Grand’s Australian-inspired restaurant, is a classy and chic option that also offers floor-to-ceiling views of Circular Quay. Q Dining has recently been refurbished and the sophisticated design is sure to have your guests’ tongues wagging. This elegant space can comfortably fit 65 people banquet style.
After your reception, you and your guests can head back to your Pullman Quay Grand luxurious apartment-style suites, which — depending on the room — will either have Sydney Harbour or Botanic Garden views.
