The Larder & Lounge, Collingwood

Send a date or shortlist of dates, the kind of gathering and an expected headcount. Explain whether the evening centres on seated dining, conversation, speeches or another activity that affects furniture and service.

Request the proposed room arrangement before treating a published capacity as your invitation limit. For an occasion spread across a weekend, the engagement celebration guide helps separate the main event from smaller meals with visiting friends.

The venue describes menus developed with its chefs and event staff, together with bar service. Give the team a dietary list and an approximate running order so it can explain the appropriate food and drink arrangement.

Ask what the agreed service includes, when any final guest count is due, and how changes will be handled. A work group can pair these decisions with its overnight retreat plan while keeping the catered event booking with the venue.

Guests attending the gathering may be staying in different homes, and some may not need accommodation at all. Make an overnight roster before allocating bedrooms; it should not simply reproduce the event guest list.

Share the event address, chalet arrival details and the return transport arrangement in one clear message. The larger-group collection and two-home planning guide help organize the people sleeping at Blue View. Confirm each accommodation reservation separately from the venue contract.
