Parramatta Town Hall set up for a big event

When you're looking for a venue to make any occasion truly special, Parramatta Town Hall offers an ideal backdrop for life's cherished moments.

Industry insiders and event hosts are singing the praises of Parramatta Town Hall – thanks to a meticulous $30 million restoration and renovation, as well as an expert team dedicated to making every gathering unique.

A canvas for cultural celebrations

Professional and social event organisers are impressed by the inspiring selection of grand and intimate spaces that can be configured and combined for all manner of private events, be it cocktails, elegant lunches or anniversary dinners, or milestone birthday celebrations with live entertainment that utilise multiple spaces.

“We help people envision everything,” explains Priscilla Khouzame of Bayti restaurant and the George Khouzame Group based in Western Sydney. 
 

“Once people see the different styles and set ups, they can picture themselves holding special events in this extraordinary building.”
 

With a reputation for creating exquisite culinary experiences, centered around family, friends and culture, Priscilla and her team recently orchestrated three distinctly different private events in one weekend, all in Parramatta Town Hall.    

An intimate, long-table, baptism celebration lunch in the Ngurra Gunya room, and a 100-guest king-table Baptism lunch were held consecutively in the adjoining Great Hall. Then, after a well-planned reset, a grand celebration with over 200 guests took place that evening, replicating the atmosphere of their renowned Bayti restaurant on a monumental scale.

“When our clients want a Bayti experience for a bigger group or a private gathering, we often suggest creating bespoke events for them at Parramatta Town Hall,” explains Priscilla. 

“The welcoming, neutral interiors with warm timbers create a lovely ambience that can be styled to suit any occasion. Any colour will pop and complement the space beautifully.”

Industry-friendly, flexible facilities that impress 

For event professionals, the venue’s versatility and functionality are just as important as aesthetics, including the Open Catering Policy that enables event specialists to craft bespoke experiences tailored to their clients' cultural preferences and personal wishes.

“The kitchen is well-appointed so we can bring our 40 years of catering expertise to the table... and the Parramatta Town Hall team is also exceptionally accommodating with requests,” adds Priscilla, noting how the team’s extensive industry knowledge and connections streamline the planning process.
