Your event manager
Your event manager helps you shape your event, recommends suppliers we trust, and is here on the day to look after your suppliers and set-up.
Your event manager knows many of Adelaide’s florists, photographers, stylists and bands, and can recommend the ones we work with often. You book your own suppliers and styling; we help put together a run sheet so everyone knows when to arrive.
On the day, our team looks after your suppliers and set-up, so you and your family can relax and enjoy it.
Catering, AV, dietaries and timings are all looked after by our team, and we help you build the day around your program. A deposit secures your date, with the final payment before the event.
We have hosted hundreds of conferences, launches and gala dinners in these rooms, and we can often help with short-notice events too.
The food
Ayers House has been a working restaurant since 1973. In that time our kitchen has cooked for royalty, and for Prime Ministers Bob Hawke, Paul Keating and John Howard.
Everything is made in house, fresh, with locally sourced ingredients. Dietary requirements are catered for at no extra charge, and with a choice menu every guest orders their own meal at the table, which makes for a far better experience than an alternate drop.
Ask about your date
Every enquiry goes to one of our event managers, who will check your date and come back to you personally. We would love to hear what you have in mind.
