About us
Waterfront venues for weddings, corporate functions and private celebrations
Bring your wedding, corporate function, private celebration or brand event to the waterfront at the Australian National Maritime Museum. Our collection of indoor and outdoor venues gives you different ways to gather on Darling Harbour, from intimate occasions to whole-precinct experiences for more than two thousand five hundred guests.
Explore the Ben Lexcen Terrace, HarbourWatch North and HarbourWatch South, the Terrace Room and our theatre. Gallery settings include the Lighthouse Gallery, Tasman Light Gallery and City View Room, while Wharf 7 and our historic vessels provide further options. HMAS Vampire and The Endeavour are offered as event venues alongside our land-based spaces. Whole-precinct hire brings a broader setting together rather than representing an additional individual room.
Since March 2026, our events, catering and onsite dining have been delivered in partnership with SRG Hospitality. This combines our museum setting and harbour outlook with an experienced hospitality operation for your occasion. Our Venues team can arrange event services, including room setup and styling, audiovisual support, photography, entertainment and commercial filming.
Choose the setting and format that suits your event, then discuss the venue-specific arrangements with our team. Whether your plans centre on a wedding, a business gathering, a social celebration or a brand experience, our museum offers a connection to Sydney's waterfront and maritime story.

summarizes
Visitors consistently praise the heritage vessels and submarine tours as the heart of this waterfront experience, with knowledgeable, friendly volunteers frequently singled out for bringing maritime history to life. Rotating exhibitions like the Galloway Hoard add depth, while the on-site cafe and harbour views round out a satisfying day out. Families, history buffs and former servicemen alike describe memorable, well-maintained displays and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere on Darling Harbour.

There are also experiences of boarding real ships and submarines, but just seeing the free exhibits was enough. It was a valuable time
