Weddings

Whether your wedding is shaping up to be a simple sit-down dinner, or a luxurious cocktail party, the Sydney Opera House is the perfect backdrop for your special day. 

Our event partner Trippas White Group will guide you every step of the way, from delivering a mouthwatering menu to flawless service with the support of a dedicated wedding planner to deliver a truly memorable event.

Esteemed chef Danielle Alvarez has also joined the Trippas White Group as Culinary Director of the Yallamundi Rooms at the Opera House. Danielle is one of Australia’s most celebrated female chefs and she has developed tailored wedding menus that draw on her dedication to seasonality and the joy and connection of sharing food, as well as championing local producers.

Please note wedding ceremonies at the Sydney Opera House include a venue hire fee and a minimum spend on food and beverages with our event partner, Trippas White Group, so you can make the most of your special day. Our venues are not available for venue hire only.

Additionally, some venues across the Opera House are predominantly performing arts venues with limited availability and can only be booked with a short-lead time.

There was so much care put into how our guests were treated and this truly was a highlight for us.
