Ok here are the rates for room rental at the Hamilton Gardens, if you have an alternative that is less costly or less stressful, just let me know OK!

Rotary Lounge (max 90)....$242 (evening) /$384 (all day) inc refundable bond of $100

Chartwell Room (max 150)...$385 (evening) /$568 (all day) inc refundable bond of $200

Circular Court (max of 540)...$576 (evening) /$817 (all day) inc refundable bond of $300

Sole use of kitchen is $40 for a half day (morn/noon/evn) or $120 for full day

My thoughts are turning towards using the Rotary Lounge, it has large panoramic windows looking out to the stone bridge etc..., a small courtyard with doors for getting fresh air, barbequeing? (if its not too cold) lovely long white pillars to decorate around the edge of the room, and it's also the cheapest. I don't think we will be inviting more than 90 people.

The fees also include the cleaning fees for afterwards, we just have to take away what we bought in.

The kitchen has excellent facilities including: Electric stove, Gas cooker, 2 zips (hot water), Commercial dishwasher (yay!), 2 Fridges, Microwave and Foodwarmer. It also has some crockery (plates etc..) but no glassware or cutlery (knives, forks etc...). All rooms come with some long tables, however if more are required they can be hired at $6 each

What ya think?
