“
Sydney
has a shortage of venues, and everything’s been done to death!” lamented Simon Hayward from Rizer, a vibrant and innovative event and production management company, based in
Sydney
.
“So we absolutely love CarriageWorks. It’s a fresh, exciting venue, like no other space in
Sydney
. It oozes that ‘wow’ factor that clients love,” he said.
CarriageWorks is
Sydney
's newest contemporary arts centre, and offers corporate organisations a modern and distinctive venue for events from intimate to giant proportions.
Rizer has used CarriageWorks for a number of events and major productions – from corporate gala dinners, industry awards events, gallery installations, photo shoots, parties and major fashion shows, including Myer’s 2009 Spring Summer Collection launch.
Rizer boasts a long and distinguished client list including financial institutions, industry associations, the fashion and entertainment industry. Rizer has won several awards and industry recognition both in the theatrical and special event arenas nationally and internationally.
“CarriageWorks is a great, big, beautiful open space. You really are only limited by your imagination and your budget.”
Located in Eveleigh, just 4km from the CBD, CarriageWorks was created with a vision to foster the vibrant cultural life for Sydney-siders.
The heritage-listed rail workshops were regenerated as the unique arts space, blending modern architectural elements and functionality with distinctive, nineteenth-century industrial details that were respectfully preserved.
“The juxtaposition of old and new really adds to the aesthetic appeal,” added
Hayward
.
According to
Hayward
, CarriageWorks distinct advantage as a venue was its flexibility and openness to big ideas and new thinking – a rare thing amongst more staid locations.
“The fact we’ve been able to bring innovative, cutting-edge technologies to a beautiful, heritage building is just fantastic. That’s the magic of CarriageWorks,” he said.
Rizer is a young, dynamic events company with access to the latest and most ground-breaking trends and technologies. Due to their expertise and reputation for innovation, Rizer is often approached to showcase new technologies and innovative techniques in staging, lighting, set design and sound.
CarriageWorks is a meeting place for creativity and innovation – so it presented the ideal location for Rizer’s innovative designers and production teams.
As a fully-equipped venue, CarriageWorks offers two large flexible state-of-the-art theatre spaces, a gallery space, exhibition spaces, offices, a bar and café. It is able to accommodate an enormous range of functions and has a team of highly-skilled, professional back-of-house staff who will assist with production and event logistics.
“Our clients are always seeking to differentiate themselves in the market and host memorable events. CarriageWorks provides that touch of ‘kudos’ for brands looking for a fresh, funky venue or an undiscovered gem in the heart of
Sydney
!”
“The sheer size of CarriageWorks makes it is ideal for large scale events such as gala dinners or fashion shows.”
“And yet, in spite of its size, it is incredibly flexible and user-friendly. We’ve found the staff to be really supportive and open to some quite out-there ideas and groundbreaking installations.”
CarriageWorks has been able to carve a distinctive place in
Sydney
’s cultural landscape, and has managed to create a balanced identity for itself as both a contemporary arts space and premiere corporate venue.
