HostCo was extremely hospitable and made the process so easy. They gave us so many ideas on how to utilise the space and ensure the day ran smoothly!

Laielle & Yahya

The HostCo team did a great job of setting up The Refectory at Sydney Uni for our wedding ceremony. We were very impressed by the room styling and the host’s professionalism on the day. Our guests were very impressed and The Refectory served for some wonderful photos.

Kayla & Loukas

All I can say is wow...The service and the food were excellent and exceeded our expectations. We could not fault one thing. Everyone was talking about the amazing food, view and venue and the staff were amazing. Everything we wanted they attended to it.

Vanessa E

We had our wedding ceremony, afternoon tea and entertainment (the intermission in the Quadrangle) then reception all at the University of Sydney. HostCo helped us with all furniture hire, the massive changeover in the venue space, catered afternoon tea, provided a coffee cart and most of all helped us deliver the most delicious 3-course dinner. The entire team will always have such a special place in our hearts and in our memories from our wedding day. We are so grateful we chose HostCo to be a part of the most important day of our lives!

Julie & Kerry

Thank you to the best wedding coordinator ever - the whole process was so easy because of you and the whole day was beyond our expectations. Amazing support from the entire HostCo team. The food was the buzz of the night, 5 star dishes from Canapes, Entree's Mains and Deserts + the additional handmade chocolates which all our guests loved. Overall the best day ever because of Tran and HostCo!

Gerald D L

I wanted to say the most enormous thank you to the HostCo team. Largely thanks to their input and careful preparations, it was more perfect and delightful than we could ever have envisaged! Nothing was too hard for them every step of the way and they even let me change my mind a few times in the months leading up to the event. As far as I'm aware, every single guest had an amazing time. The food, in particular, made a big impression and most of our 100 guests commented on how good it was!

Sarah V

Excellent staff, delicious food, wonderful location - would recommend the Refectory at USyd for a wedding or other similar function!!

Inez & Sebastian

The team were absolutely brilliant in guiding us through a very beautiful day. They were very professional, accommodating and kind in the preparation for the reception and the running of the day. Nothing seemed too much for them even though we had many last-minute requests that were each met and done with seeming ease. They really made us feel special and added bespoke details and services that were really above and beyond our expectations. 11/10 is an understatement for HostCo!

D Scadden

We had our wedding at The Refectory and could not have asked for a better venue or team. Beautiful, unique venue, amazing food and the best team at HostCo. Special thanks to Tran who really went above and beyond. We are eternally thankful to you and your team for making our day seamless and unforgettable :)

Jo J

I recently had my wedding at The Great Hall at Sydney Uni, with the amazing team at HostCo. The service and food were amazing, and the team went above and beyond to ensure that the night ran smoothly, with no stress, and that my husband, myself and our families were accommodated. Our wedding coordinator was amazing, no request was too hard for her and she made the planning of our big day so easy! Highly recommended!

Marie L

My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with how our wedding all went with HostCo! We knew that guests would always remember a meal at a wedding and HostCo delivered. Our guests (both local and international) raved about the service from the staff and the taste of the food. Our wedding co-ordinator at HostCo was sooo easy to deal with, she made sure we were happy and was open to discussing options and changes. What I thought was going to be hardest to plan was actually the easiest. Thank you so much for what you guys did, you've truly made our special day that much more special!

Anita N

The Refectory looked beautiful and was the perfect venue for the cooler weather. The Refectory and broader USYD grounds provided so many photo opportunities. Thank you, Tran and HostCo for making our day so special and personal :)

Francesca & Jad

We recently had our wedding in the gorgeous open courtyard of The Holme Building. We were blown away by the amazing set-up and the hospitality of literally all the staff. HostCo went above and beyond to make our day the best it could be. Tran is such a solutions-based person and was definitely on top of everything. We cannot thank you enough for everything!!

Neel A

We recently held our daughter's wedding reception with the help of HostCo. The evening event went very smoothly. Coming up to the event staff were helpful and very approachable. On the night we found the catering wonderful and the service was great. In addition, the costs were very reasonable. Our guests provided feedback that the evening as a great success. We would strongly recommend this venue and group for your next function!

Kim P

I had the pleasure of using Hostco as my catering and event coordinator for my wedding! The food and service I can't fault. All of our guests have commented on how amazing the food was. They take so much pride in their food that when one of our guests had left their plate full because they were unwell the waiter asked him if there was something wrong with the food and can they get him something else. I highly recommend them for any event, they are professional, take pride in their work and made my wedding better than I ever imagined!!
