Welcome to The Grounds / A Lush Romantic Oasis
The Grounds of Alexandria is one of Sydney’s most iconic and visually striking Wedding venues, set within a restored industrial complex just 4 km south of the city’s CBD. Originally a 1920s pie factory, the venue has been transformed into a lush, urban oasis that seamlessly blends rustic charm with botanical elegance.The design draws on a mix of industrial architecture, vintage detailing, and rich greenery, making it an incredibly atmospheric location for Weddings. Think exposed brick walls, cobblestone pathways, wrought-iron gates, cascading ivy, floral installations, fountains, and twinkling fairy lights. It feels hidden and romantic, yet remains accessible and convenient due to its inner-city location.
The venue offers several distinct spaces, each with its own aesthetic and scale. The Eveleigh is melds the charm of steam-era elegance with sleek modern design. Housed in the historic locomotive workshops in South Eveleigh, it boasts a grand balcony and staircase for unforgettable entrances, stunning vintage chandeliers, and refined marble and brass accents.
The Linseed House is the largest and grandest - a beautifully restored heritage building with soaring 10-metre ceilings, statement chandeliers and art-deco features. It’s ideal for formal Weddings, seating over 300 guests with plenty of room for dancing and entertainment.
For outdoor or garden-style ceremonies, The Garden is one of the most sought-after spots. Surrounded by greenery, fountains, and natural stone, it creates a whimsical, almost enchanted vibe. The Atrium offers a more intimate indoor-outdoor experience, with glass ceilings and hanging plants, while The Patio and The Tea Room cater to smaller Weddings and receptions, maintaining the venue’s signature charm on a cosier scale.

What sets The Grounds apart is not just the beauty of the setting, but the detail and care in its styling and service. Each space is impeccably decorated, and the in-house events team offers full-service Wedding coordination, including catering, beverages, styling, lighting, AV, and even floristry.
The food is also a major highlight. The Grounds is known for its restaurant-quality menus, bespoke cocktails, and premium wine selections, offering an elevated dining experience that matches the aesthetic. Their team works with couples to tailor every detail, from ceremony layout to menu design, so each wedding feels custom and cohesive.
However, there are some practical considerations. As a high-demand venue, bookings often need to be made well in advance, especially for weekend dates during peak seasons. Costs reflect the venue’s popularity, quality and prime location. Parking is limited, which means guests may need to rely on rideshare or public transport. Also, while many of the garden spaces are semi-covered, weather can still affect outdoor events, so contingency plans are essential.
