HARBOUR ROOM REVIEW (4.6STARS)

Nathan: We held our Wedding at the Harbour Room in March 2019. The Harbour Room is currently operated by Food & Desire. The facility itself, particularly in March was outstanding and we were blessed with a perfect day. In the midst of the Grand Prix, the facility/staff also were able to delay our ceremony to avoid the F18 flyover.

The event itself was approx 110 people, at times on our behalf organised late, but Nicole (event staff) was able to work with our late input information and ensure that the event was organised professionally, extremely well presented and with genuine care. The staff on the night were also absolutely phenomenal. We forgot a couple of their names but one of the waitresses and Dom (waitor) were absolutely incredible. They were extremely accommodating, respectful, always around to supply us with with food/drink (even pre-empted our requests) and were enjoying themselves. It’s a real credit to the front line staff to perform their role with that sort of enthusiasm and enjoyment, particularly in a high pressure environment such as a wedding. The food for both Gluten Free/Vegan options, as well as our regular selections, was nothing short of outstanding. Quantity, flavour and timeliness of serving again was outstanding.
