The latest season of Married At First Sight Australia is truly living up to its reputation for serving up a dishy and dramatic dinner party every week. As we watch the contestants navigate their relationships, the dinner parties stand as a crucial moment for the couples to compare their romantic progress, while the experts observe their every move.

But have you ever wondered where all the bombshells, bitchiness and bromances go down? Well, you're in luck, because we've done the Google mapping for you.

Where are the MAFS dinner parties filmed?

Underneath the glitz and glamour of Married At First Sight Australia's infamous dinner parties lies the unassuming industrial charm of the Sydney suburb of Lilyfield, nestled among the bustle of Annandale, Leichhardt, and Rozelle.

Though it may lack the refined ambience often associated with such events, Lilyfield has established itself as a pilgrimage site for die-hard MAFS fans eager to witness the drama unfold in person. And while the converted warehouse serves as a perfect setting for the love, lust, and betrayal that inevitably ensue, the truth is that, outside of the carefully constructed TV setting, it's simply a warehouse.

From drab to fab

The transition from an ordinary industrial space to a chic venue suitable for both pre-dinner drinks and the dinners themselves is an annual transformation achieved by the MAFS production team, who rent a 1,200 sqm loft for this very purpose. This same space also plays host to the nail-biting commitment ceremonies that occur each Sunday night.

And, if you thought that the MAFS participants enjoyed the luxuries of a fully-equipped film set, think again. These love-struck individuals must navigate the tension-filled moments of each dinner party while sharing just one solitary toilet - a fact that perhaps makes their intense reactions all the more understandable! Maybe they're just really busting to wee!
