The fight erupted outside Conca D'oro, a wedding event and function venue on Belmore Road, Riverwood.
Police said that, about midnight, 25 to 30 people became involved in a brawl on the street, and a passing motorist had his car window smashed in the commotion.
When police arrived, they found a 22-year-old man semi-conscious with injuries to his mouth and nose. The man was treated at the scene before being taken to Bankstown Hospital.
Seven News reported that guests were attending the wedding reception of a couple named as Teisa Fifita and Junior Tupola. No further information about the couple is available.
Hundreds shared the news bulletin covering the events on Facebook, many of them lamenting the violent actions of those involved and expressing their sympathy for the bride and groom.
"Still a beautiful wedding last night even though it ended terribly," one user wrote.
Police said that witnesses on the scene were unco-operative, and are appealing for help from anyone who saw the brawl or who has information about those involved.
