Gala · 250 guests · November 2025
The venue is wonderful and made our event a million times better. Everyone is still talking about how beautiful it was weeks later! The support from the team was also great and Asia, the events manager, is amazing at supporting and providing everything needed. She made the whole process and set up a lot easier and smooth-going.
The only small thing was that we had a lot of trash after the event and they don't have bins or any assistance to take them out. So you either have to take 10 massive trash bags back home or pay per bag for the trash to be picked up, which wasn't a cost we had previously calculated or counted on.

Wedding Reception · 120 guests · September 2025
We had our wedding reception at the Columbia. From the moment we came to see the venue to the day itself, Asia supported us to make our vision a reality! She is professional, enthusiastic, responsive and creative, guided us with our planning to help us stay on track and communicated with all the vendors to ensure everything and everyone arrived on time and was as expected. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and ideal for around 100-120 guests, with spaces for everyone: those who want to dance, relax or be outdoors on warmer days. We had our reception in the Viceroy & Regency, dinner at the Windsor suite and dancing at the V&R, and definitely recommend hiring both rooms. The staff set up the rooms just as we expected and everything looked beautiful. We knew it was the perfect venue as soon as we saw it and the price point is very reasonable for the rooms, balcony, staff and location! Highly recommended. Thank you so much for a perfect day!
Nothing. It was perfect!!

Christmas Party · 75 guests · December 2024
The venue was so beautiful and Lucy was so helpful to help us get set up, letting me come early for a delivery, liaising with the caterer to finalise details - it was the perfect work Christmas party and had a lot of my colleagues say how well it wen!
