Catering & Drinks
Your wedding, your menu: banquet feasts, BBQ buffets, roaming food trucks or wood-fired pizzas under the stars – choose any licensed caterer or select from our list of the best local caterers.
Bring your own wines, craft beers and cocktails; simply engage RSA-qualified* bar staff and toast the night away without corkage fees.**
*RSA-certified bar staff are required to serve your BYO drinks from the end of the ceremony until the close of the reception, with drinks self-serve before and after this time. One of our preferred caterers, Rabbit & Co, includes bar staff as part of their packages, with the option to add specialist cocktail staff if you’d like. If you choose another caterer, you’ll need to arrange bar staff separately.
**BYO can save couples $5-10 K compared with standard venue bar packages.
