Booked The Sundeck Function Space at The Purple Emerald Lounge Bar
4.7

Had such an amazing experience with this venue, from the location to the food and the friendly staff. I had such an amazing time hosting my 21st there, and all my guests only had good things to say. The staff and coordinator were so helpful. Phil did such an amazing job communicating what needed to be done before the event, with so much helpful advice and communication with my decoration company. The staff was very mindful of people with allergies and it was one of the most thoughtful experiences my shellac friend had at a restaurant.

Staff were friendly and helpful to deal with. And I appreciated that the final payment wasn’t due until just before the event.

Booked Entire Venue at Glamp Bar

Can not fault anything! Everything was spectacular & simply AWESOME. Dean was a great coordinator to work with - he was attentive, responsive and clear. Worked through with all my company's restrictive compliance requirements. The food was exceptional - so tasty and delicious. Kudos to the Chef and Polepole! Ben, Amelia and the Bar Service team were just wonderful and awesome - they took such good care of us, even paused their service to avoid making noise while our speeches were going one. Dean recommended we hire Shabba and his team from The African Star Dance team for entertainment and what a hit that was! Shabba and his crew were so energetic, got us to move and dance and mingle - it was a great ice-breakers and left everyone feeling festive. The Glamp Bar deserves 10/10
