Formals in the Sydney CBD move between the ceremony and the celebration. Many begin at Observatory Hill in Millers Point or the Rose Garden at the Royal Botanic Garden before receptions at Doltone House Darling Island in Pyrmont, the InterContinental Sydney at Circular Quay and Shangri-La Sydney in The Rocks. We plan the run along George Street so there's time for photographs at the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney and the historic laneways of The Rocks without rushing the day.
Local knowledge across Sydney CBD
We know the Sydney CBD for formals: the ceremony at St Andrew's Cathedral by Town Hall or St Mary's Cathedral on College Street, the reception at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth in the CBD or the Sydney Harbour Marriott at Circular Quay, and the portrait light at the Sydney Opera House forecourt at Circular Quay and Observatory Hill lookout in Millers Point. The route along George Street is planned to the minute.
Formals in the city
Many formals end up at the city's grand hotels and reception venues, the rooftops, the ballrooms, the harbour-edge function rooms. We know the CBD's pick-up points, the porte-cochères and the traffic, and we time the arrival so the cars roll up to the doors exactly on cue.
Plan it with the family
