Camperdown Commons operates as a private event space, meaning a dedicated booking with the venue's events team is essential for all **wedding** ceremonies and receptions, regardless of guest numbers. Your Simple Ceremonies **celebrant** service is booked separately.
You must contact the Camperdown Commons Events Team directly to secure your chosen **marriage venue** space and date, and to confirm all associated hire fees. Venue hire fees vary depending on the space you choose, the day, the time, and the extent of your booking (e.g., ceremony only, or ceremony and reception).
The spaces at Camperdown Commons are hired for private functions and **weddings**. The venue's spaces, such as The Pavilion, Dining Room, and Courtyard, have varying capacities (e.g., 60-300 people depending on the space and style of event).

Camperdown Commons does not have dedicated on-site parking. Parking is available on surrounding streets, such as Mallett Street and Pidcock Street, but it is often time-limited (typically 2-hour limits) and regularly monitored. We highly recommend advising your guests to consider alternative transport or utilise the Secure Carpark on Grose St (a couple of blocks away) for longer stays to avoid parking stress on your **wedding** day.
The nearest train station is **Newtown Station** (on the T2 Inner West & Leppington Line). From Newtown Station, it is an easy, approximately 10-minute walk along busy streets towards the venue at 31A Mallett Street. It’s a great option for guests travelling from the city or inner-west suburbs.
Numerous bus routes run along Parramatta Road, with the closest stop being near Mallett Street or Missenden Road. Routes like the 412, 413, and 422 are common services that pass through the area. Consult the Transport for NSW website for the best route from your location.
Given the location is close to the city and major transport hubs, catching a taxi or using a ride-share service is a fast and convenient option. Simply enter the address (31A Mallett Street, Camperdown) for a direct drop-off right at your **marriage venue**.
Now it doesn't happen often, but when it does you will need to shelter under trees or bring umbrellas - how romantic. Fortunately, Camperdown Commons offers excellent built-in protection as a private **wedding venue**.
