In the canapé menu, we have some lighter and more robust options depending on the tastes of your guests and your budget. We are very flexible with the food we can offer, particularly if there is anyone with certain dietary requirements, options for younger children, or if you’re working to a certain budget. Our events team can make recommendations or help design a menu that will best suit your guests.

Our venue opens at night for a la carte dinner. You have two options for your event. You can have exclusive use of the entire venue for you and your guests with a minimum spend of $4500 Friday to Sunday or $3000 Monday to Thursday. (Please note; all food and drinks pre ordered AND purchased on the evening by your guests go towards this minimum spend).
Alternatively, you are welcome to reserve some space for your guests, but you will not have exclusive use of the venue.

You are welcome to decorate our space however you like, we only ask for no confetti and that you don’t fix anything to the walls. We have some fantastic vendors that have been used in the past here at Quarterdeck that we can recommend you use though you are welcome to use outside options also.
