What is VenueBooking.com.au?

VenueBooking.com.au is Australia’s dedicated marketplace for function venue hire. We help you find and book verified function venues for weddings, corporate events, birthdays, engagement parties, conferences and school formals across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and regional Australia.

Founded in 2020 and based in Sydney, NSW, we started as a small venue directory and have now refocused to do one thing exceptionally well: connect people looking to hire a space with venues that want bookings.

We are not a restaurant guide. We are a function venue booking platform.

What We Do

We make venue hire simple. No more calling 20 venues for prices.

1. Verified Function Venues Only: Every listing is a real space for hire – waterfront venues, rooftop bars, warehouses, gardens, wineries, historic halls, conference centres and private dining rooms. No restaurants that don’t offer private hire.

2. Transparent Pricing and Capacity: Each venue shows seated and standing capacity, hire fee from, per-person packages, what is included, and location with map.

3. Direct Enquiries: Enquire to one venue or three at once. Your details go straight to the venue manager with SMS and email notification. No middleman.
