South Asian Wedding Reception Venue in Rockdale
Jharna Function Centre is a Nepalese-owned event venue at 6 Frederick St, Rockdale, that hosts weddings with Nepalese and South Asian catering. Our main hall, stage and mandap décor, catering and event coordination mean you can plan the celebration with one team instead of several.
A Rockdale hall made for wedding celebrations
Our main hall is a spacious function hall with an LED dance floor and chandelier lighting. You can see it in our venue photos, including shots of the hall with a red carpet and chandelier lighting, and a function hall with a stage area and dining tables.
Jharna means waterfall in Nepali, and the name reflects the flowing, welcoming feel we try to bring to every event. The centre was founded by the Nepalese community in Rockdale as a place for cultural gatherings.
Tell us how you want the day to run, and we will help you shape the hall, the menu and the timing around it.
Stage and mandap décor
Many South Asian and Nepali weddings centre on a decorated stage or mandap where the ceremony takes place and where the couple is seated for photographs and blessings. Our gallery shows stage and mandap setups we have created, from white floral arches and cream and white florals to traditional sofa seating dressed with garlands.
Our décor and setup service covers floral arrangements, lighting and theme-based styling, so the stage, the entrance and the guest tables can all follow one look. If you have a colour scheme, a family tradition or a reference photo in mind, bring it to the first conversation.

- Table settings, centrepieces and runners

Nepalese and South Asian catering, with vegetarian options
Food is at the heart of any wedding. Our culinary team prepares authentic Nepalese and South Asian cuisine, with multi-cuisine options available, so you can serve the dishes your families expect while still catering to a mixed guest list.
Menus are designed with you around your preferences and dietary requirements, and vegetarian and other dietary accommodations are part of what we offer. Service can range from traditional buffets to plated dinners. Ask us what is possible for your guest list and style of service.
Coordination, sound and entertainment
Our event coordinators help with planning, vendor management and the running of the day itself. Our services also include entertainment support with audio-visual equipment, such as DJ and live music setups, multimedia presentations and dance floor lighting, which suits the speeches, music and dancing that make up a wedding reception.
