Venue Testimonials
Our 60 pax staff Christmas party was a huge success. Amy and the team were attentive and flexible from my initial venue enquiry to the post-event wrap-up. The venue itself is eclectic and accommodating to whatever you want, with service staff who ensure all guests' needs are catered for. The food is generous and very tasty. This is a great venue!

My partner and I had our wedding party here, and I could not recommend it enough. The venue is incredibly beautiful, with a fascinating history. The owner and staff are all wonderful people and made the day run so smoothly. The food is amazing, the drinks were flowing — it was just a magical day. One part I didn't expect but just loved was late afternoon when they opened the shutters on the clear roof in the upstairs venue - amazing!
Chrissie J
My husband and I got married at Smoked Garage recently, and I cannot recommend this venue enough. Amy and the team helped facilitate the best night of our lives and were so unbelievably helpful throughout this whole process. On the day of the wedding, they were fun, energetic and considerate. If I could get married again, I would have it at Smoked Garage every time! Also, all the guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the venue was! Big winner!
