Our expertise in events is second to none. The best events are those that seem to run effortlessly for guests – but there’s usually a lot of planning and event management going on behind the scenes to make those ‘effortless events’ go off without a hitch.
At The Wharf, your dedicated experience manager will assist you with all planning and event requirements – no matter how “out of the box” they may be. Our management and operations teams are highly experienced professionals, who have the additional support and knowledge base of the entire food and hospitality experience agency. On the day, we ensure your event runs smoothly, and manage any changes if required so you can enjoy your guests and your event. This approach flows through to our operations team, with our wait staff being highly praised by critics and event-goers alike. Let us know if you need anything, so we can take care of the details.
