This is a gem of a place. Hidden away a little, but you will be bedazzled once you arrive.

We held a staff party at Arcana, which was organised on very short notice. The Arcana team were very fast in replying, helping us book in everything for our event within the same day. The Garden Bar was a beautiful space, with great facilities and plenty of comfortable seating. Our staff have been complimenting the food and drink and loved the addition of the photo booth! Thanks team for a great night.

Hosted our wedding ceremony and reception at Arcana. Andrew was so helpful and organized during the planning and the day went off without a hitch. The food, setup and music setup were fantastic!

I thought this atmosphere and display was beautiful, but the management were rude and they gave me food poisoning.

I had the best experience having my engagement party here. We originally had our event booked during cyclone Alfred and the Arcana team were super accommodating in changing our date and great at communication. On the night, the Arcana team were super hardworking, making sure everyone was having the best time and providing us with amazing food and drink. All of the guests spoke about how good the service and venue was. I would definitely book here again and recommend to others.

Went to the Elevate competition recently hosted here for the first time. It was quite a nice venue for a large-ish competition -- several backstage rooms for prepping, a nice garden bar area, and a nice view of the stage in the main area. The parking was a bit of a pain as there were only about 10 spaces around the building, but that was the only real bad part. Would definitely come back to the venue in the future!

The team at Arcana were incredibly prompt in replying to enquiry requests, supportive and provided information via email, text and phone conversations to discuss details about their venue, catering, drinks packages etc; even cc’ing my bestie into email correspondence to outline catering, contacts for known external providers, such as photo booths for us to have further discussions, which was comforting. Their customer service and flexibility was amazing. Thank you Andrew for your ability to deeply listen, understand, support and guide options and connect with people, caring customer service makes all the difference. 💛
