About Canberra Deakin Football Club
Canberra Deakin Football Club is a licensed club on Grose Street in Deakin, in Canberra's inner south, and the home of Canberra Croatia FC. Set up by the local Croatian community, it runs Vatreni Bistro, a sports bar and two function rooms that anyone can hire. The Zagreb Room is the main hall, seating up to 300 guests with a generous dance floor and a bridal table across the front. Its neutral furniture and carpet make it easy to style, and AV including a ceiling projector, radio microphones and speakers comes at no extra cost. Upstairs, the Canberra Room is a brighter, smaller space with floor-to-ceiling windows, its own bar and a private bathroom. It seats up to 150 and suits birthdays, christenings, smaller weddings and work events. Catering comes from the club's executive chef. Packages start with a build-your-own buffet from $40 per person, then plated menus of two, three or four courses at $57, $72 and $103 per person, each with white tablecloths and AV. Drinks packages covering beer, wine, soft drinks and spirits run from $45 per person for three hours to $70 per person for seven. Outside food and alcohol are not allowed, apart from celebration cakes. An $800 deposit holds the room once paid within 14 days of booking, and a $3,000 minimum spend applies in the Canberra Room. Civil ceremonies can also be held in either room, with a lectern, table and microphone set up for the celebrant.
