We’ve gathered a few images and floor plans to help you visualise our different layouts to assist with planning your big day. As always, please reach out to us at [email protected] if we can help with any questions!

All food and drink is catered by our amazing in-house team! We do not allow external catering with the exception of wedding cakes, take-home guest favours and gelato carts.

When do we have to bump out?

Any hired furniture, hired table settings, large styling pieces, aerial/floral installations and lighting must be bumped out upon the conclusion of the event.

While it is preferred that all belongings and gifts are collected at the end of the night, overnight storage can be arranged if required for pick up the next business day.

Absolutely, we love all kinds of furry friends! We just ask that you have someone dedicated to looking after your pet so that they are taken care of at all times. Check out our recommended pet assistants!
