WHAT WE REALLY THINK ABOUT THIS VENUE
Event Weddings has hosted numerous weddings in Shangri-La since 2014. Shangri-La is well known for its prestigious international brand, and when you say "I got married at the Shangri-La", everyone knows what you mean no matter where you are. Situated at The Rocks, this property occupies one of the most valuable pieces of real estate in the world . As a hotel venue, the venue is perfect as a preparation location, with the opportunity to host both ceremony and reception on site. There is also a good range of ceremony garden locations nearby and plenty of key photography landmarks. As a premium five-star hotel, the venue does feature a large main ballroom that can comfortably accommodate up to 500 guests (may be subdivided), plus several other function rooms in varying sizes. However, the most popular room must be the private dining room in the Altitude restaurant on Level 36, with sky high views of the entire CBD and our famous harbour. The only catch is that your guest numbers must not exceed 18. For smaller sized weddings, the Heritage Room also has some views of the harbour bridge and opera house from a higher perspective. We rate the food to be on par with the expectations of a premium grade five star hotel. Allow for a generous budget for this venue, particularly for ballroom events.
OUR TIPS FOR THIS VENUE
* Flexibility on seasons, dates, lunch/dinner can substantially impact on final budget.
* This is a premium locality, it is particularly important to consider full plans before booking and make generous allowances for incidentals, some incidental fees may be substantially higher than expectation
* For larger hotel ballroom events generally: styling, production, staging and effects can be major contributors to budget blowouts, professional wedding planners can assist with pre-event estimations
* There may be some Event Weddings recommended Contract notes and additions for this venue before booking.
* Always allow for a 10-15% buffer for incidentals
