THE VENUE

A Warm, Private Space for Family Celebrations

The Workshop is designed to feel warm, welcoming and full of character — perfect for christening celebrations and naming days. Set with long handmade timber tables beneath a crystal chandelier, the room creates an atmosphere that feels special without being formal.

Guests arrive via a private lit laneway in Coorparoo. The space is entirely exclusive to your event. The alfresco terrace is perfect for children and families who need a little more room to move.

THE FOOD

Handmade Italian food for the whole family.

For relaxed celebrations, the cocktail offering covers handcrafted canapés, antipasti boards and grazing tables. For a seated gathering, the shared Italian feasting menu brings everyone together over handmade pasta, wood-fired dishes and generous shared plates. The kitchen caters for dietary requirements and is happy to work with you on the right menu for your group.
CELEBRATION FORMATS

Seated Feast or Relaxed Cocktail Style

Shared feasting table: The long timber table setup with shared Italian feasting menus — brings families together naturally and feels celebratory without being overly formal
Cocktail style: Standing, high bars, roaming canapés — suits larger extended families who want movement through the event
Combined: Cocktail hour with canapés on arrival, then transition to a shared feast — gives the day a natural rhythm

Courtney will help you find the format that suits your family and your guest list.
