space for simple weddings

Ceremonies

Why move your guests from place to place? Or take a risk with the weather? We can host intimate ceremonies in an incredible character rich setting. Then it’s a simple matter of moving next door for the fun to begin.

We can also host stand alone ceremonies with drinks afterwards before your party moves to another venue. Champers anyone?

 

Cocktail Receptions

For a more informal cocktail wedding our Bar Lounge (Space 2) is a fully furnished space perfect for up to 120 guests. Alternatively we can also host a cocktail wedding in the Main Space 1 with a satellite bar, food trucks and intimate lounge settings. Ole!

Sit-down Dinners

Upon arrival your guests can freshen up with some nibblies and pre-drinks in the Bar Lounge before revealing a fairy-tale dinner setting in the Main Space. We have all the furniture onsite for a dinner of up to 160 guests, while 250 is our maximum capacity in this format.  A popular configuration is long tables running down the middle of the space, with enough room for a bar, lounge setting and that all important dance floor.

Food & Beverage

As a licensed venue all drinks must be purchased through Lightspace. This will be via a pre-paid package or on consumption bar.  We have some fantastic beverage options including beers on tap, choice wines and signature cocktails.

We also work with some fantastic caterers and the best suppliers in the industry. For a sit-down wedding it’s compulsory to use one of our two recommended caterers, while for a cocktail style event it’s possible to use food trucks and have us organise the bar staff.

Venue Inspections

Can We Play Music?

Yes, we have equipment onsite so you can play your favourite tunes. There is also a sound limit and we have neighbours across the road, so the volume is more than enough to have a great party, but not enough to wake the dead.

What AV Equipment is Included?

We have a projector (fixed into the ceiling in both the Bar Lounge and Main Space), 4 x 500 watt speakers, 2 mixers, 2 microphones and connections for you to use. Anything else will have to be hired in. We can recommend trusted suppliers if necessary.

How Does Setting Up and Packing Down Work?

Access time is normally arranged depending on the amount of set-up required and whether we have an event the previous night.

Upon arrival the venue will be set with our onsite furniture and accessories. You can re-arrange if desired, or add your own touches.

For most events the bump-out must occur the next morning as we can’t load trucks and vans in the street late at night. There will be NO bump-out via the front door after 10pm, some loading can occur via the back terrace (i.e; catering equipment) but this must be done as quietly as possibly as we have neighbours in close proximity.

Can We Decorate Ourselves?

You can customize Lightspace however you would like, providing that any existing decor is not damaged in the process. No nails, screws or glue may be used. Any onsite furniture that is removed has to be replaced at the end of the event or the next morning by arrangement.

Timings?

As we have neighbours in close proximity all events must conclude by 11pm on Friday and Saturday nights, 10pm otherwise. The standard running times are 5.5 hours for the reception with another hour beforehand for an onsite ceremony. For Friday and Saturday nights timings are as follows… 4.30pm Guest Arrival, 5pm Ceremony, 5.30pm-11pm Reception. Additional time can be organised, please ask us for details.

Hotels Nearby?

Ovolo Valley Hotel is a brilliant option only two minutes walk from the venue, otherwise The Calile, Alex Perry, Tryp, Alpha or Rydges Hotels are approximately ten minutes. Breakfree Apartments on Brookes Street is good for those on a budget. Otherwise we’re only 5-10 minutes from the city via taxi.
