An Australian cafe or Australian waterfront cafe is a great place to host a special event.
Coronavirus Restrictions
A cafe is a quaint place to book an event. However, currently with the coronavirus, some venues are in a small area and they will only be able to have customers in their space following the four-square-metre rule. As this may affect the total number of guests you would like to have, it’s best to call the cafe and ask what their availability and restrictions are. Australian limits also indicate that patrons must be seated and served at a table and mingling and standing around is not permitted. The hospitality industry in Australia was one of the hardest hit due to social distancing restrictions.
Birthday Parties
Typically, when life resumes back to normal, and hospitality industry restrictions have been lifted, try hosting a birthday party at an Australian cafe. Cafes usually have an intimate setting, where guests can socialize and mingle in close proximity. Many of the cafes will allow birthday party decorations and may even assist with the decorating.
Anniversary Celebrations
There is nothing more romantic than celebrating a wedding anniversary with guests at a waterfront cafe. Perhaps that is where the couple became engaged, which would make it even more meaningful. Weather permitting, the outdoor seating area would be ideal.
Booking Your Event
Due to the fact that many cafes tend to be smaller than a typical restaurant, you may have to book your event quite a bit in advance. Some cafes may also provide a buffet-style setting for your event or a special menu for your event. A great idea you may want to consider is a revolving appetizer menu. This is where you select a variety of appetizers, and they are served throughout the event. Guests can enjoy a drink and nibble on some great foods while mingling.
