Celebrating 55 years of events excellence

For 55 years, Doltone House has been delivering events expertise across multiple Sydney venues, says the company’s chief executive officer, Anna Cesarano.

Established in 1969 by patriarch Biaggio Signorelli, Doltone House has been creating unforgettable moments for more than half a century. During that time, the company has been dedicated to innovation, quality and making unique memories for every guest.

What can clients expect when they host an event at Doltone House?

Clients can expect a lasting impression for all their guests. A partnership with us is a commitment to ensuring your event will leave your guests talking long after the closing speech.

We believe in the power of surprise. We add personal touches that go beyond contracts – it defines our approach and ensures every event moment feels unique and exclusive. Our focus is on making each experience uniquely yours.

Sophistication is at the heart of Doltone House. We bring refined elegance to events of all sizes, from 10 to 1000 guests, and have a reputation for consistently delivering excellence across the event journey.

What unique services does Doltone House offer?

We offer nine unique venues with more than 50 versatile event spaces. Each has a dedicated catering and services team, bespoke menu and immersive and interactional offerings.

Our commitment to First Nations people and their contribution to culinary heritage is reflected in our unique offering at Midden by Mark Olive at Sydney Opera House, which allows us to present authentic Indigenous-inspired dishes across our venues.

We have also established long-term supplier relationships that enable access to fresh premium produce when accessibility may be scarce.

With more than 650 team members and extensive industry expertise, we deliver event solutions within timelines that others may consider unrealistic.

Also, Catering by Doltone brings the Doltone experience to you. Whether it’s a warehouse, marquee or private estate, we have the catering expertise to cater for thousands of guests.

What were the biggest wins for Doltone House in 2024?

Celebrating 55 years of Doltone House and creating benchmarks in hospitality. Doltone House was named NSW Event/Convention Centre Caterer by Restaurant & Catering Australia. We were also honoured to be recognised at a national level as one of the top three event caterers Australia-wide.

In 2024, we also achieved formal endorsement of our Reconciliation Action Plan from Reconciliation Australia.

We are thrilled to celebrate our first year of working with Sydney Town Hall as the exclusive caterer, bringing a wide range of extravagant and monumental events to life on Sydney’s events calendar.

What makes an incredible event?

It starts with the location. Opening that invitation sets a visual interpretation of what to look forward to. An incredible event creates moments that endure long after the last road case bumps out.

We weave these moments into a succinct run sheet – from that lightbulb statement from the keynote to the burst of flavour from caviar on your oyster and a Hugo spritz. An exceptional event features layers of surprise, creating the wow factor that guests will remember long after it ends. An incredible event should pose the question: “How will guests remember this?”

What can we expect from Doltone House in 2025?

Doltone House is on a growth trajectory, with major industry announcements to come. During the past 24 months, we’ve expanded our business to include new pillars beyond events. Exciting developments are underway, spanning retail, tourism and hospitality catering, both in Australia and internationally.
