About The Grand Ballroom
The Grand Ballroom is a reception and function centre on Tapleys Hill Road in Fulham Gardens, owned and run by husband-and-wife chefs Donato and Mimi De Ieso. There is only one function room, so each event has the venue's full attention. The ballroom is dressed with ceiling draping, chandeliers and fairy lights, with a large dance floor and a bridal lounge for wedding parties. It takes events from about 60 guests up to 580, set as a banquet, a cocktail party or a formal seated dinner. Weddings and engagements are a large part of the calendar, but the room also hosts birthdays, with Friday night packages for 21sts. Corporate bookings include meetings, seminars, product launches, trade displays and office parties. Schools use the room for formals, graduations, concerts and performances, with non-alcoholic packages and free use of the projector and PA system. Sound and lighting for parties are part of the set-up. Everything is cooked in-house, from plated menus to grazing tables and food stations, and special dietary needs are catered for. Wedding packages start at $110 per person, with canapés on arrival, an entrée, a choice of two mains, dessert, coffee and a beverage package. Drinks packages cover house wines, sparkling, beer and cider, or a wider list of South Australian wines, and an open bar account needs a minimum spend of $4,500.
