About Adelaide Pavilion
Adelaide Pavilion is a private function centre set within Veale Gardens, where South Terrace meets Peacock Road. The building opened in 1963 as a restaurant known for its unusual roofline, and it has run purely as an events venue since 2003. There are two function rooms, both with panoramic windows onto the gardens. The Parkview Room covers 263 square metres and seats up to 250 for a banquet or 300 for cocktails, with a parquetry dance floor, adjustable lighting, reverse-cycle air conditioning and partition walls to size it down. The Terrace Room is smaller at 160 square metres but has 6 to 7 metre ceilings and its own alfresco terrace. It seats up to 90 for dinner or takes 150 standing, which suits engagement parties, anniversaries and smaller weddings. The kitchen cooks French and Mediterranean dishes, with banquet menus of two or three courses, canapé packages and a casual street food option. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests are looked after when their needs are listed ahead. Drinks run on timed beverage packages, a bar tab or a cash bar. Every booking has an event coordinator, and the wedding packages bundle five hours of room hire, drinks, AV, linen and on-site parking. Guests can use about 85 complimentary parking bays on site, and the South Terrace tram stop is a short stroll away. Ceiling draping, lighting, backdrops and a stage can be arranged through the office.
