About National Press Club of Australia
The National Press Club of Australia sits on National Circuit in Barton, inside the Parliamentary Triangle. Widely known for its televised addresses, the club also sells its rooms for private functions, from small dinners to large receptions. Its spaces range from intimate private dining rooms to a ballroom. The club caters for weddings of about 20 people at the small end, and seats up to 230 in the ballroom for a full multi-course dinner. Events can be formal and seated or relaxed and standing. The club lists engagement parties, cocktail evenings, private dinners and gala balls among the functions it hosts, along with meetings and conferences. All food comes from the club's own kitchen, which works from a modern Australian menu and serves with silver service. Menus can be adjusted for dietary requirements, and the team plans each event around the chosen room. For weddings, the club sends out detailed all-inclusive packages on request. Its event staff can also recommend florists and decorators, and an event manager looks after each booking from planning through to the day.
