Birthdays, Brand Launches & Celebrations
Yours for the day, styled your way — birthdays to brand activations, and everything in between.
Private Event Venue in Sydney —
About the space:
Different Agency Studios is a premium studio space in Alexandria, already known for hosting content shoots, campaigns and productions — and now open for private event hire.
Your booking is exclusively yours for the time you've hired it — no other events running alongside yours, no shared floor time. We host birthdays, engagements, hens and baby showers with the same set-up as brand launches, product activations and press days. Bring your own vision (and caterer, and DJ, and decorator) — the space is yours to shape.
Events we host:
Personal Celebrations
Birthdays, Engagements, Baby Showers, Hens & Bucks
A private space for the celebrations worth doing properly. Our Studio provides an intimate setting rather than a cavernous function hall — big enough to bring your full guest list together, small enough that it still feels personal and doesn't swallow a smaller gathering.
Bring your own caterer, stylist and playlist, or use our furniture and props to celebrate in style. The space can be set to how you desire. Our bedroom set often makes the perfect area to house food and drinks, or others prefer to keep it as a designated games area, which leaves the rest of the venue as a dance floor. Whether it's a milestone birthday, an engagement party, a hens, or a baby shower, our studio is yours to style exactly how you picture it — and it photographs beautifully, however you set it up.
Corporate & Brand Events
Brand Activations, Product Launches, Team Offsites & Workshops
Few venues can move between such different types of corporate bookings the way this one does. One week it's set up for a product launch, the next it's reconfigured for a team offsite, a workshop, or an internal planning day — the same space, doing something completely different each time.
That range is the real strength here: staff meetings away from the office, client masterclasses, brand activations, and full product launches all run through the studio, just laid out differently depending on the brief.
We’ve designed the studio to be able to shift from a seated environment to a standing activation with ease.
Retail & VIP Experiences
Pop-Up Stores, Retail Activations & VIP Client Previews
A private space for pop-ups, retail activations, VIP previews and media days — set up to feel considered rather than crowded. The intimate scale works in your favour here: guests get real one-on-one time with product, stylists, or your team, without the room ever feeling overrun or turning into a queue.
Bring your own merchandising, styling and signage to shape the space around the collection or campaign you're launching, and use the existing sets as a ready-made backdrop for content on the day. It suits a tightly curated guest list far better than a large retail floor or shared event space ever could.
Seasonal Events
Christmas Parties, EOFY Events & Holiday Functions
Private Christmas parties and EOFY events, in a space that feels like your own rather than a corner of a shared function room. The intimate size means the party stays yours — no competing with other tables, other music, or other groups spilling into your space.
Seated dinners, standing cocktail-style events, or something in between — the layout flexes around your headcount and the mood you're going for. BYO catering and bar, bring your own festive styling, and settle into a room that's just yours for the night.
