Our experienced Venues Staff can assist you with many aspects of planning for your wedding to ensure that your day is hassle free and memorable. From small wedding breakfasts to arranging the entire day in the venue – we work with our talented caterers to create the package that best suits your needs. The Civic’s ornate gold and deep maroon Edwardian styled décor offers a wedding venue with a difference.

They have extensive local knowledge and can help you with your conference planning including floor layouts, hospitality, catering, security, technical requirements, entertainment, accommodation and more. The complex has a number of rooms ideally suited for breakout rooms, workshops, morning tea or cocktail functions.

Booking policy
Bookings can be made up to three years in advance. Bookings outside this time are accepted only where there are exceptional circumstances. The right not to accept a booking is reserved. In the interests of maximising the benefits of larger events to the City, the right is also reserved – in consultation with the hirer – to relocate the event to another venue.
Bookings are considered confirmed when a signed contract (prepared by Venues Staff) has been received and a deposit has been paid. For ticketed events, ticket sales will not begin until the signed contract and deposit have been received. If the contract and deposit is not received within 14 days of the contract and invoice being sent out, the booking may be cancelled without further notice.
If a confirmed event is cancelled within 30 days of the event, the deposit payment will not be refunded and an administration charge may apply. In the event of a cancellation, clients will be invoiced for any contracted external goods or services, if arrangements had been made for payment of the same from ticketing proceeds. Once your booking is confirmed you will be contacted by staff to ensure you understand and can meet health and safety conditions. Our friendly staff are on hand to ensure that your event runs smoothly.
