Brisbane, not surprisingly, has heaps of really good venues to use for functions. There is starting to be a lot more use of the river, which I love. I had a look at the new and improved State Library yesterday for a client - fantastic! An amphitheatre that has natural light (but you can still see the screen), and a great indoor/outdoor kind of area which would be great for cocktail parties or catering during the day.
The State Library also had a couple of River Decks would would seat maybe 40 people for a very classy & exclusive sit down dinner!
I talked about RiverLife in my last blog - wouldn't I love to do more stuff there.
The Brisbane Powerhouse is also a great space - the new deck (which also overlooks the river) is a beautiful spot for pre-function drinks. The grafitti on the walls makes it a bit grungy, and very cool.
We used the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) at Fed Square in Melbourne for the Fury Launch - That's a great spot too. So central, and lots of interactive things for your guests to do (the Pixar Exhibition was on while we were there - wouldn't my son have loved to see that!).
We're always on the lookout for new and exciting venues - let me know if you know of any we should take a look at!
