Keep the Party Going: Discover the Southern Highlands’ Only Historic Late-Night Wedding Dungeon
When planning a wedding in the picturesque Southern Highlands, many couples run into the same frustrating hurdle: strict noise curfews and early finish times. Just as the speeches wrap up, the drinks are flowing, and your guests are ready to hit the dancefloor, the lights go on and the music turns off.
At Fitzroy Inn, we believe your big day shouldn't have to end before you're ready.
Nestled beneath our historic 1836 heritage property in Mittagong lies one of the region’s best-kept secrets: The Dungeon.
What Makes The Dungeon the Ultimate Wedding After-Party Space?
Whether you want to keep the celebration going with an intimate group or throw an unforgettable late-night dance party, our historic basement dungeon offers a one-of-a-kind venue experience you won't find anywhere else in the Southern Highlands.
1. Party Later Than Other Southern Highlands Venues
Most regional venues require music to cease early due to local council regulations and acoustic limits. Because our dungeon is located underground, sound is naturally insulated. This allows you to extend your celebration past standard curfew hours without disturbing the peaceful surrounding estate.
2. Built-In Sound Insulation
Worried about older guests or families with children who want to turn in early? The underground setting keeps the bass and music contained downstairs. Guests staying in our heritage boutique accommodation upstairs can enjoy a quiet, restful night, while night owls party below.
3. Historic Atmosphere Meets Vibrant Nightlife
Originally built in the 1830s, the exposed brickwork, historic stone arches, and atmospheric lighting give the Dungeon an incredible speakeasy vibe. It’s a atmospheric backdrop for:
Dancing!
Late-night cocktail bars
Photobooths & lounge zones
An unforgettable, high-energy dancefloor
Flexible Booking: Your Wedding, Your Choice
We believe every couple's wedding vision is unique. That’s why hiring the Dungeon is 100% optional:
Choose to add it: If you're a party-loving couple who wants an after-hours speakeasy experience, you can hire the Dungeon as an add-on to your standard wedding package.
Choose to skip it: If you prefer a relaxed evening that wraps up after dinner and speeches in our main dining spaces, you are under no obligation to hire or pay for the basement space.
How late can the music go?
Because the space is subterranean, we offer extended hours beyond standard venue limits. Speak to our dedicated wedding coordinators during your site tour to discuss custom timings for your reception schedule.The Dungeon is available from 10:00 pm until 12:00 am, unless otherwise agreed in advance.
