FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can we bring our own decorations to our event?

Yes, you are welcome to bring your own decorations (i.e. flowers, balloons) for your event in our Sydney venue as long as no damage is made to the room (i.e. you cannot stick things on the painted walls). No confetti, flower petals, scatters or balloons with confetti are permitted. Discuss with your functions coordinator for specifics.

What time will we have access to the function space to set up?

We guarantee a minimum set up time of 1.5 hours prior to your function start time. An increased set up time is dependent on the availability of your event room on the day. Please speak to your function coordinator if you require an earlier set up time.

What is the difference between a cash bar, pre-paid bar tab & on consumption bar tab?

A cash bar allows guests to order and pay for their own drinks during the event.

A pre-paid bar tab allows you to nominate a specific amount that you will pay (i.e. $2,000), you can also restrict the beverage selections in any way you like. Once the limit that you have nominated has been met, the bar tab will conclude and guests will need to purchase their own drinks.

A consumption bar tab allows you to run the bar for a certain amount of time (i.e. from 6pm-10pm), and pay for the total bill at the conclusion of your Christmas party in Sydney. You can also restrict the beverage selections in any way you like.

Can I allow my guests cash purchases to make up the minimum spend?

Yes, you can allow your guests to make cash purchases to make up a portion of your minimum spend (for example if you have a cash bar, all purchases made over cash bar will contribute to the minimum spend). If the spend is not met by the conclusion of the event, the difference must be paid.

Am I allowed to bring my own cake, food or beverages for my event?

You are welcome to bring you own cake. If you would like the cake cut and served by the venue it will incur an additional $3pp cakeage fee. Alternately you can cut and serve the cake yourselves free of charge. Under no circumstances are you allowed to bring your own food or beverages to an event as we are a fully licensed birthday party venue in Sydney.

Can I bring my own music to be played during my event?

If your event is being held in the Queen Street Lounge function space, you are welcome to bring your own music to be played for the duration of your event. If your event is being held in any of the other spaces throughout the venue (i.e. the cocktail bar, the nook or the terrace), the music will be provided andcontrolled by the venue.
