About SALA Events
SALA, which calls itself The Important Room, is a function venue on Henry Street in Payneham run by an events team with 15 years in the business. It hosts weddings, birthdays and corporate events, and can be hired as a bare room or with catering and bar service. The main room seats up to 380 guests at tables or takes 700 standing. Hirers also get a foyer where guests gather on arrival, a bridal room for the wedding party or VIPs, a floral wall for photos and full use of the stage for a DJ or band. Venue hire includes the bar with fridges and a cool room, the commercial kitchen, tables and chairs set in place, cleaning and a caretaker if needed. A projector and screen, a wireless microphone, crockery and linen can be added, and there is parking on site. Hirers can bring their own caterer, or use SALA's in-house kitchen team for cocktail food, shared plates or a seated dinner. Wedding packages bundle canapés, food, a six hour drinks package, cake service and staff into one price per guest. For drinks, hosts can supply and serve their own, supply the stock and use SALA's bar staff, or have SALA provide both drinks and service. A pop-up cocktail bar is another option for the night.

Hire for up to 200 guests is $3,100 on a Friday or Sunday and $3,300 on a Saturday, rising to $3,400 and $3,600 for more than 200 guests. It includes the bar, the commercial kitchen, cleaning, tables and chairs and the bridal room.
Can we use our own caterer?
Yes. If you bring your own caterer, the commercial kitchen is included in the hire at no extra cost. SALA's in-house team can cater instead.
What are the bar options?
You can provide the drinks and run the bar yourself, provide the drinks and have SALA's trained staff pour them, or have SALA supply both drinks and service.
