Who to Book for a Reunion

Getting a Toowoomba Reunion Organised

Reunions on the range bring people back from wherever life took them: class reunions, old boarding-school year groups, family gatherings and old teammates. Many guests travel in and stay a night or two, so the event is often a weekend rather than a single evening.

Two very different settings for a reunion here:

  • A country estate. A lakeside estate at Geham, north of the city, offers a function centre, an old barn and a marquee seating up to 300, which suits a big family or year-group reunion over a long afternoon.
  • A city function room. A large Kearneys Spring venue on Ruthven Street charges nothing for the room across five function areas, with canapés starting at $22 per person and room for 150.
  • Out-of-town guests. Book accommodation early and send dates months ahead, especially if the reunion falls in September during the Carnival of Flowers.
  • Transport. A coach between the city and a country venue saves everyone the worry about getting back.

Round out the day with a caterer or event furniture hire for an at-home family reunion, and see venues for other rooms.

The reunion organiser's checklist

  • Build the contact list early through old class lists, social media and word of mouth.
  • Set a date with a deposit deadline so numbers firm up in time for the venue.
  • Name tags with maiden names or old class photos save a lot of awkward pauses.
  • A photo display from the old days gets people talking within minutes.

Making a weekend of it

  • A casual Friday drinks, the main event on Saturday and a breakfast on Sunday suits guests who travel in.
  • A walk through Queens Park or a stop at Picnic Point gives visitors a look at the Garden City.
  • A school or campus tour can be arranged directly with the school for class reunions.

Weather and backup plans

  • Winter nights on the range are cold; ask about heaters and enclosed spaces.
  • A marquee should have sides for wind and storms; check the venue's plan for a wet afternoon.
  • Keep an indoor room on hold for an outdoor reunion if the forecast turns.
