An engagement party brings two families and two friendship groups together, often for the first time. The room needs space to mingle, somewhere for a short speech and a feel that suits both sides.
Rooms around the lake range from Civic cocktail bars to a stone hall in Gundaroo village, so the choice usually starts with the mood you want.
Where couples tend to look, district by district:
If guests will spread across districts, a central room near Civic keeps everyone's trip home short. Browse venues or private dining rooms.
Prices on this page start from $26 per person at a Belconnen pub and run to $85 per person for lakeside fine dining at Parkes. A Dickson pub's rooms start from an $800 minimum spend, and a Civic fire-grill steakhouse with private rooms from a $1,200 minimum spend.
Civic and Braddon have the most cocktail bars and wine bars with private areas, and Dickson has pubs with function rooms.
