After researching many venues, decided on the Aussie Nash for our engagement party. We were hosting approx. 70 people, this venue met every criteria we had. The function room is upstairs above the pub, it's set up like a nightclub, with its own bar and bar staff, complete music setup (DJ booth and music videos), own toilets (same level) and a private smoking balcony (same level). This venue is perfect if you want a party-like atmosphere but don't want your guests to disappear to another area within the venue, it's fully self-sufficient. There is even amble parking out the back of the venue!

The staff – well, they were fantastic. Met first with Jayden the manager, who was very accommodating and kept in contact with me. He was on leave at the time of our party but we were left in the very capable hands of Ben, the Assistant Manager. He was available for us when we got there at 2pm to set up, and stayed to 9pm when he was confident we would be ok (after speeches and food), he left us with his night manager. There was no cleaning up for us, they do the clean up after the party. They even looked after our presents (locked them in the office) as we headed off into the city to continue the party once the venue closed at 1pm. Popped back the next day to pick up our presents.

The food was great, our DJ loved the music setup and our guests had a fantastic time, even the smokers as they didn't have to go far or leave the venue for a smoke. Downside would be the drink prices, I felt a touch high for a venue in the suburbs. Overall, highly recommend the Aussie Nash, great venue and fantastic staff!! They make hosting a function there so easy!!
