About Linseed House at The Grounds

Linseed House is the largest event space at The Grounds of Alexandria and one of the most opulent indoor wedding venues in Sydney. Once a linseed oil factory, it has been beautifully restored with art deco touches while keeping its rustic industrial charm.

Grand 10-metre ceilings hold four custom vintage crystal chandeliers above intricate parquet floors, and tall arched windows fill the room with natural light. There is a striking art deco bar, opulent curtains, an onsite sound system and rigging points, plus a private bridal suite, an outdoor courtyard with breakout spaces and a secluded area for the ceremony.

The room seats 200 to 380 guests for a banquet or 120 to 240 in cabaret style, holds 250 to 600 for cocktails, and can be set theatre style for up to 400. Multiple entry configurations, climate control and the courtyard breakout spaces mean the night can flow from ceremony to canapés to dinner without guests ever leaving the building. It is available Monday to Sunday for daytime and evening events.

Menus come from The Grounds' own kitchen, built on fresh, locally sourced produce, with roving canapés, shared plates, alternate plates, grazing stations and dessert canapés to choose from. Packages include linen, crockery and glassware, a cake and gift table, a cordless microphone for speeches and a stage for the main table, and the in-house styling team can dress the room from classic white to bold colour.

Weddings are run by The Grounds events team, with their own catering, beverages and in-house styling, a dedicated coordinator and an on-the-day supervisor. It suits couples wanting a big, elegant celebration with ceremony and reception in one place, set within the gardens of one of the city's best known unique wedding venues.
