About The Tea Tree
The Tea Tree is a function and event centre on Reservoir Road in Modbury, backing onto the landscaped lawns of Civic Park. It has hosted celebrations in Adelaide's north-east for more than 25 years. There are five spaces to choose from. The Marquee Ballroom takes the most people, from 120 up to 400, with a lobby and flower wall, a private bar, a dance floor and a baby grand piano. The Starlight Room seats 30 to 250 at long or round tables and opens off a marble foyer and glass atrium where guests can mingle over drinks. It can be split for smaller events or joined with the cafe next door. The Studio Room suits 40 to 160 people and has a greenery wall, timber floors and a pressed-metal bar. Paradiso Cafe and Cocktail Bar holds 30 to 80 for cocktails or 50 seated, and the Boca Chica lounge takes 20 to 60 with a small garden. Every room can run a three-course sit-down dinner, a buffet or roaming canapes, and the events team works through dietary needs before the day. Weddings can hold the ceremony on the park lawns and the reception inside. All events finish at midnight because the venue sits in a residential area. There is free parking on site, and guests can book one of 22 suites if they want to stay the night.
