Booked Voodoo Entire venue at Voodoo Bar & Grill

5.0

I recently had the pleasure of booking Alfie's Bar for a special event, and I cannot praise the experience highly enough. From start to finish, everything was impeccable. The staff was incredibly accommodating, ensuring every detail was perfect. The ambiance of Alfie's Bar is unmatched, combining a vibrant, modern vibe with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The selection of drinks was perfect, featuring expertly curated choices provided by the bar staff. The bartenders were not only skilled but also very personable, making the experience all the more enjoyable. A huge shoutout to Tiggy and the team for leading the perfect night. What truly set Alfie's Bar apart was the level of personalised service. Every request was met with enthusiasm and efficiency by Laura, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. If you’re looking for a venue that delivers on every front, Alfie's Bar is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend it for any event or just a great night out. We will certainly be back to book large scale events!

Booked Entire Venue at Frontside Food & Wine

5.0

Management and the whole team were absolutely lovely and helpful! It made the process of planning the baby shower easy. The location and parking was very easy! My guests were very impressed by the fresh canapés and were all so delicious! The vibe was also lovely too and we all appreciated the open space of the venue and how warm and inviting it was. So many of my guests were impressed with the service and they had an amazing time. Would highly highly recommend this venue to anyone. I am so glad we chose frontside food and wine to host our special day. I would definitely rebook for future functions.

Review for The Garden Parlour. On behalf of myself and our extended family, we want to thank you, Rani, Will and everyone for the caring and professional manner in which you handled the Celebrations of Life for our mother Pamela on Saturday 20th in the Garden Parlour. It was an emotional day for us and we are still dealing with her loss, but you and your staff did an exemplary job in working with us through the afternoon. For that we are very grateful and appreciative of how much you and your staff care. We were very happy with the food and flowers that were displayed on each of the tables. Rani and Sasha were so helpful and kept us up to date with everything from start to finish. Thanks again. 🙏🏼🥰

Booked Art Studio at That Paper Joint

5.0

An absolutely wonderful plan with even better owners. I had my 30th here with about 30 people, Byo drinks and food (set up a burger pop up out back) This place is incredible, the venue speaks for itself and photos don't do it justice. Max and Zoe are incredibly hospitable, accommodating and equally creative. They helped set up the space, provided serve wear and ideas on how to make the space perfect and the night incredible. Always open to answer questions and ideas and went above and beyond. I can't rave about them enough! Everybody loved the space!

Booked The Downstairs Lounge at St LuJa

5.0

Thoroughly enjoyed everything about my 30th at St LuJa. The team made it easy and simple to organise and were very accomodating. Great food, great cocktails and the space downstairs feels intimate and homey for a solid 40 people. Even noted my music playing throughout the entire venue when I'd only hired downstairs. Other venues would not do this, and other venues were much stricter on the finish time, while St LuJa's let us hang around in the space til close. Would highly recommend the venue. Great place!

Booked Entire Venue at Glamp Bar

5.0

Dean has been wonderful to work with and I highly recommend. I hired Glamp as a venue for my sons 1st birthday party and the morning of, the worst possible thing happened - a positive Covid test. I called Dean at 9am (event was supposed to be at 12pm that day) and expected to still have to pay for the event as staff and food had all been prepared but to my surprise Dean offered to put my spend towards another event! This made what was a terrible morning a little bit better. Thank you again Dean and the Glamp team for being so understanding and accomodating.

Booked Booths at The George Lounge

5.0

We had our engagement party at the George, the staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Would highly recommend, considering how last minute our booking was, but they still took us in and offered us to a great range of drinks and spaces. Great for your next function or just for a drink.

Booked Boardroom at The Precinct Hotel

Great private room facility for small class training. TV and whiteboard available, booking was easy thanks to RT who was able to answer my questions promptly. Food was delicious and tea and coffee provided for the entire time made the training that much easier.
