Function venue in Fremantle
The verdict is in: your event's in good hands
Our functions team was just named joint winner of the Conference and Functions Award at the 2026 AHA & Coca-Cola Hospitality Awards for Excellence. We're pretty proud of that, but we're prouder of the events behind it.
From your first enquiry to the last guest out the door, our team is with you all the way. We'll help you choose the right space, shape your food and drinks, work through the details and plan how the day will run. Then, on the day, we look after it all so you can actually enjoy your own event.
