From milestone birthdays to wedding receptions and corporate lunches, Alistair, Danielle and the team are repeatedly singled out for going above and beyond, handling dietary needs and last-minute changes with ease.

Great place to celebrate a birthday milestone, the service, food and venue FANTASTIC
We hired The Royal Exchange for our wedding reception and had a thoroughly fantastic experience. Before the event we were welcome to drop by beforehand and to sample the menu options, discuss table layouts and other details. Alistair and Danielle were very receptive to our requirements and went above and beyond to meet our needs (including creating a special area for children attending reception), which made for a great evening on the day - including some curveballs that the Exchange team handled beautifully. Several of our guests mentioned specifically how great the service and food had been. All in all, selecting The Royal Exchange for our event turned out to be a wonderful choice. Excellent location, dining and service through and through. We would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone needing a venue for their wedding reception, birthday or any special occasion in Sydney CBD. You won't be disappointed! Absolutely 5 star food and service!
We had our wedding reception at the Royal Exchange. I don't normally write reviews, but their impeccable service warranted it. Alistair and Danielle made our night absolutely seamless - delicious canapés, filling and hearty mains, and mouth-watering dessert. Our vegetarian friends were raving about their meals, and their consideration for dietary requirements extended to the canapés! The wine, especially the champagne, was divine. The venue is classic, with the perfect ambiance for chatter and a thumping dance floor! Working with Danielle and Alistair brought our vision to light, in a friction-less, perfect experience. We couldn't have asked for anything more!
We had our function here. From the initial enquiry to the whole of night it was wonderful. Canapes were delicious and the service was top class. Make this a must go place if you have an event.
