What time can my party finish?
From Sunday through to Thursday you can have the room until 12am. Friday and Saturday nights you can have the room until 2am.
Can I bring a cake?
Yes you can and we will refrigerate your cake until you wish to have it displayed. For parties held in a private area we will also provide a
display table, cake knife upon request. A cake cutting fee applies if you would like our kitchen staff to cut it for you. A $15 flat fee to bring
in your own cake applies for functions with this we can supply up to 80 side plates and forks, cake knife and server with napkins. If you
would like your cake to be cut by our Chef the price is upon application dependant on how many guests and the size of the cake. $10
cakeage per platter (approx per 24 pieces) also applies to any other dessert type you wish to bring to the function.
Eg: Eclairs or Danishes.
Do I need to supply a guest list?
If your function is in our upstairs or MD bar function room you will need to tell us how many guests you expect on the evening and means
that all your friends receive express entry into your party, regardless of the line-up. For functions in other areas of the hotel we cannot
make any guarantees with door lists, so we encourage all guests to be in by 9pm to avoid line ups and door charges.
Will security police the function?
Security are in the hotel from 9pm Fridays and Saturdays, but will not specifically monitor the function or access the function, unless
requested (this will incur an extra charge). 18th birthday parties are required to hire security through the Alma.
How do subsidised drinks work?
This is where you as the organiser indicates your allocated bar commitment (e.g. $1000). Your guests then purchase drinks at an agreed
‘subsidised’ amount (e.g. $2 towards schooners of beer), then the remaining amount will come out of your tab. E.g. Schooner Hahn Super
Dry $5.60 - Guests to pay $2 towards schooner therefore $3.60 comes out of your bar tab.
