Friends clinking glasses over shared plates at a round table
celebrations

Your people, the water,
and a bar that stays open

Birthdays, engagements, anniversaries and the milestones in between.

the party

Everyone you love, in one room

The best part of a party is the moment everyone is finally in the same room. Here that tends to happen around sunset, when the harbour turns pink and someone opens the balcony doors, and the people who have not seen each other in years are standing together with a glass in hand. Behind all of it, the city comes on across the water.

the occasions

From high tea to the last dance

Fortieths and seventieths, engagement parties, anniversaries, baby showers and bridal showers, bar and bat mitzvahs. Some of them want a high tea at noon with the water glittering outside. Some want a dance floor at midnight. We have set the room for both, many times over.

Bring your own styling or let us set it: balloons, florals, a cake table by the glass. The terrace opens in the warm months, the bar is yours, and the music is up to you.

Your coordinator looks after the run sheet, the suppliers and the floor on the night, so the host gets to be a guest.

Silver platter of golden pastry canapés topped with cream and caviar

Grazing tables and late dinners

Canapés that keep coming, a grazing table people hover around all night, or a sit-down dinner with the cake brought out at the right moment. Drinks packages or a bar tab, meals for the kids, and every dietary need handled quietly.

What guests say

We had our engagement party on the 31/05/2025, the venue was stunning, looks over the city which is so beautiful! … The communication is impeccable. Nothing short of above and beyond. To highlight, Emily & Kim were great to communicate with and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting and raving about the food. RJ was so helpful on the night and very welcoming! Thank you so much guys, we had a ball!

Ashena and Liam · engagement party

I absolutely loved hosting my bridal shower at The Promenade and would highly recommend this space (especially the Harbourview Room) for anyone considering to have an event here! … The venue itself is super clean and spacious, and has the most gorgeous view of the marina, which was a massive perk. We also received so many compliments from guests about how delicious the grazing table and canapés were! Thank you to everyone at The Promenade for truly making my bridal shower a day to remember, I am so grateful!
