Modern Wedding Posted: January 5, 2018

The Calyx (pron. kal-iks) is one of Sydney’s most unique venues and a hidden jewel in the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney. 

What type of venue is The Calyx?

An integrated mix of indoor and outdoor areas, The Calyx is the perfect setting for something spectacular. This versatile venue can reinvent itself for every different celebration and will impress and surprise your guests with something beautiful and out of the ordinary venue.

Offering sundrenched areas including an outdoor terrace, perfect for your on-site ceremony or wedding reception under the stars as well as spaces for sit-down ceremonies for up to 160 guests and cocktail events for 400.

This premium venue is truly unusual and is sure to wow your guests. The Calyx can be divided into four separate event spaces including The Foyer, the Function Space, the Exhibition Area and the partially covered, open-air Iris Terrace.

No matter how intimate or large your reception is, all bookings held within The Calyx are exclusive, allowing you to create intimate dining spaces or open up all areas for a dramatic flow through effect for guests.

Elegantly styled food stations are the perfect addition within the exhibition area, allowing guests to enjoy premium hospitality whilst taking in the greenery at their leisure.
