Themed Experiences
Event: Vivid Festival
Venue: The Australian National Maritime Museum
In the first year of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s participation in Vivid and their East of India exhibition, we transformed Yots into a Bollywood-themed bar offering Indian tapas in the evenings. In the following years, we have worked creatively with the venue to continue to capitalise on the volume of foot traffic around Darling Harbour and bring visitors to the Museum ‘after dark’ by incorporating the venue’s exhibition themes into the food offering, with pop-up food outlets, late night cocktail bars, a slider bar to target on-the-go families, extended opening hours, and sponsored rooftop events against the backdrop of the Vivid projections, to name just a few.
Special Events
Non-Traditional Weddings
We have been able to offer several wedding clients of different nationalities a menu design that reflects their tradition and heritage. Where no alcohol is the custom, we can devise special packages to suit.
International Fleet Review
In one of the biggest weekends in ANMM history, we catered for several VIP private events, each one unique in style and menu.
Jacobs Creek Event
This event was the largest private event in Maritime history. We served in excess of 500 guests on the Ben Lexcen Terrace. This was an exceptionally challenging event as all cultures came together to attend ‘Jacobs Creek Longest Table Lunch’.
