The catering, the ability to personalise the space, friendly staff, cheap options compared to other Sydney venues
The personal event co ordinator given wasn't ideal. However my complaint has been taken seriously and I trust it wouldn't happen to another couple.

FAQ

Yes. Basic AV can be accommodated in-house, with an HDMI connection for a laptop, lecterns, data projectors and microphones available in-house.

No, the venue is unable to accommodate late-night club-style activations. The rooftop is more suited to corporate events, private celebrations and curated social functions.
