A celebration that doesn’t eat into the wedding fund

An engagement party should feel special without blowing the budget you’re saving for the big day. Our room hire and menus are published, so you’ll know roughly what you’re up for before you send a single invitation.

Cocktail style: the engagement party favourite

Most couples go cocktail style with platters — arancini, satay skewers, sliders, prawn skewers and dessert bites — ordered to suit your numbers while guests mingle between the room and the balcony.

Want everyone seated for a proper meal? Choose the buffet from $50 per person, or the sharing menu: ten dishes brought to the table.

Afternoon or evening

Weekend afternoons are perfect for photos on the balcony over the golf course, while an evening party gives you more time to celebrate. Last drinks are at 11pm.

Speeches, photos and the details

There’s a sound system with wireless microphones for speeches and a projector for the embarrassing photos. Bring your own decorations and set up the day before, or ask us to arrange centrepieces and flowers.

Planning the wedding too?

If you love the room, ask us about small weddings — intimate receptions for up to 150 seated guests.

Your questions

How do drinks work?

Drinks are charged on consumption from our full-service bar, so there's no compulsory drinks package. You can run a bar tab or have guests buy their own. House wines are from $9 a glass and $35 a bottle, tap beer from $7 and soft drinks from $4.50. The full drinks list is on our Functions & Prices page.

Can we hold an evening function?

Yes — we host daytime and evening functions. In the evening, last drinks are served at 11pm and guests leave by 11.30pm.

Is there a sound system? Can we have a DJ?

The room has a full sound system with wireless microphones and a projector for presentations and slideshows. We can book a DJ or other entertainment for you at an extra cost, or you can arrange your own — outside suppliers just need to coordinate deliveries, set-up and pack-down with us.

Can we decorate the room?

Yes. You're welcome to bring your own decorations and set up the day before. Signage needs to be self-supporting, as nothing can be fixed to the walls. We can also arrange candles and vases, centrepieces and local flora for you.
