Venue & Meeting Space Hire at The Parlour

01 /

A space built around your event, not just a room

If you're an event organiser sourcing a venue, a marketing manager planning a product launch or brand activation, or a business owner needing space for a workshop, training day or strategy session, our priority is understanding what you're trying to achieve before recommending a setup.

The Parlour is commonly hired for:

• Workshops and training sessions
• Business presentations and seminars
• Product launches and brand activations
• Strategy sessions and business meetings
• Conferences and community events
• Networking functions requiring dedicated space

Understanding your event before recommending a setup

Every venue hire enquiry starts the same way for us: guest numbers, room duration, and how you'd like the space configured. From there we can recommend the format that will work best — whether that's a workshop layout with arrival coffee and a working lunch, a presentation format with Q&A and networking drinks afterwards, or a product launch flow with a showcase and food and beverage service woven through the event.

Setup and technology

The Parlour can be configured to suit different event styles, and we're happy to talk through table and seating arrangements ahead of time. We provide a speaker and microphone for presentations and speeches; screens are guest-provided, and we can play your event playlist through the room's sound system. If your event has specific technical, timing, or external supplier requirements, let us know when enquiring so we can plan around them.

Hospitality, if you want it

Venue hire doesn't have to mean bringing in outside catering. Because The Parlour sits above two award-winning kitchens — Café Hanoi (Vietnamese) and Ghost Street (Chinese) — food and beverage can be built into your event as simply as a working lunch, arrival coffee, or a full shared-dining service at the end of a workshop or conference day. Dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, coeliac, dairy-free, halal and allergy needs, are accommodated as standard.

Capacity and group sizes

The Parlour suits smaller workshops and training sessions of around 10–20 guests, business presentations and product launches of 20–40 guests, and larger networking functions, community events or brand activations of up to 50 guests. The Britomart location is well suited to CBD-based attendees, with good public transport access and nearby accommodation for visiting guests. Access is via the Café Hanoi entrance on the Mezzanine Level, 27 Galway Street, Britomart, with a lift and wheelchair access from Customs Street.
