FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does the venue have parking?

There are 2 hr street parks surrounding the venue.

 

Alternatively, if you would prefer secure parking there is a Wilson private car park around the corner on Bourke Street (details provided in packages).

Is there lift access to Siglo?

Unfortunately we have no lift access. For the elderly and pregnant we can offer to open the doors a little bit earlier so they can take their time getting up the stairs or have a break on the Melbourne Supper Club level before continuing up to Siglo.

Can we book Siglo or Melbourne Supper Club at night?

Siglo can be booked on Sunday and Monday evenings. Tuesday – Saturday, Siglo is only available to host events up until 4pm. The Melbourne Supper Club can be booked each evening. Please refer to our packages for available times and minimum spends.

Can guests go to Siglo/Supper Club after their event?

No, unfortunately it is not possible for guests to go to either venue after their event. The other venues do not accept groups larger than 8 and they don’t take bookings because it is all intimate seated service. Staff can give you recommendations for other nearby bar options to go to after your event if you want to continue the celebrations. Due to both venues being intimate seated service it is not possible to accommodate large groups.

Can we store items at the venue?

Due to limited space available, we are not able to store items in the lead up to events. We can collect and store nametags and seating plans. All equipment/ flowers/ items must be collected and taken offsite following your event.

What are the bump-in times?

Suppliers, deliveries and clients can access the venue 2 hours before but please check with your event manager to ensure this is possible on the day of your event. The venue is not responsible for any items left behind after your event.

For food menu tastings we simply charge the same price as mentioned in the packages per person for the food component.

 

Wine tastings can also be hosted at the same time as the food menu tasting.

How does the pricing for cocktail packages work?

The package prices & timing are just a guideline for guests; this can be adjusted according to your event requirements.

 

Canapés are $7.50 each and based on one piece per person. Tasting dishes are $15.00 per person. Events must cater to all of their guests, they cannot do 50/50 split on canapés or tasting dishes. For example if there was to be an event with 100 guests we cannot serve 50 Trout Blinis and 50 Soft curd croquettes, as some guests will miss out and this does not reflect the level of service we represent.

 

We also follow this rule with Tasting Dishes.
