The Venue
This striking building, tucked beneath the spire of St Paul's Cathedral, is one of the CBD's most imposing function settings.
Built in 1891, its distinct neo-gothic style adds a classic feel to any event.
By day, shafts of sunlight cut through the large arched windows illuminating the sandstone walls.
Pre-dinner, guests can mingle in the courtyard, under the shadow of the cathedral's spire.
Once drinks are taken, the grand entrance provides the perfect first impression.
Inside, curving high above the guests, the huge vaulted ceiling adds to the drama, while the elegant glass mosaic windows and striking blackwood furnishings amplify the sense of theatre that a great event needs.
The entire building provides an atmospheric palette for banquet functions, weddings or dazzling themed events.
If 'bold' and 'impressive' are the effect you're looking for, you must look at The Chapter House.
