Packages can be tailored to suit the occasion and your budget and all include your lighting and audio-visual needs. An event coordinator will be on-site to cater to your every need and ensure your function’s success.
A selection of hot and cold platters offer the likes of stuffed button mushrooms with pine nuts, pesto and sundried tomato. Other options include Bloody Mary prawn, avocado and cherry tomato cups or rare roast beef with horseradish crème fraiche on toasted crostini.
