Grand Ballroom & Private Events

A pillar-free ballroom for 400, six private event rooms and a production team that has staged everything from galas to gaming-industry summits.

Up to 400 guests Gala dinners Full production
Overview

A venue built for the occasion

The Grand Ballroom is the largest pillar-free event space on Broadbeach — 850 m² beneath a sculpted ceiling, divisible into thirds, with a private pre-function terrace facing the ocean. Six smaller rooms handle board meetings, dinners and private gaming events.

Our in-house production team covers staging, lighting, broadcast and AV; the kitchen scales the same fine-dining standard to banquet formats, and casino packages — private tables, learn-to-play croupiers — can be woven into the evening.

Dedicated tables and learn-to-play croupiers inside your event — a signature nobody forgets.

Fine-dining banquets

The same kitchen that runs the chef's counter, scaled — plated service to 400 without compromise.

The Experience

An evening in the Grand Ballroom

Guests arrive across the terrace at dusk — drinks, sea air, the tower lit behind them. Inside, the ballroom's ceiling catches light like cut stone; staging, florals and the long dining table are built to your brief.

The signature move is ours alone: during dessert, a private casino salon opens inside the room — tables, croupiers, chips personalised for the occasion. It turns a dinner into a night.

How it works

Your visit, step by step

Every event runs on the same disciplined arc — brief, tasting, rehearsal, night.

01

The brief

A single event director takes your brief — occasion, numbers, tone — and holds it from first call to final invoice.

02

Menu & floor plan

Menu tasting with the executive chef, floor plan drawn to scale, production and run-sheet agreed.

03

Rehearsal

Full technical rehearsal the day before — staging, lighting, AV, the lot. You walk through an empty room that's already finished.

04

The night

Your event director runs the room; the casino salon, if ordered, opens at the agreed moment. We handle the rest.
