School Formal Venues in Barrack Heights

Choosing the Right School Formal Venue

Barrack Heights formal committees have the Diamond Room at Diamonds Reception Centre on their doorstep. The room seats 200 for dinner and keeps a large dance floor in front of a built-in stage.

What a formal committee gets in the Diamond Room:

Space for a whole year group, with 200 seated and up to 250 when the Sapphire Room is joined on.
A stage for presentations, the principal's speech or a band, with a microphone included in the package.
A DJ, or a DJ and MC to run the night, bookable for the five hours the room is yours.
A plated dinner or a buffet, with hot and cold canapés available for arrivals.
A wrap-around balcony looking over the ocean and Little Lake for photos in formal wear.

Every room is air-conditioned, so a summer formal stays comfortable on the dance floor.

Book the DJ and MC together if the committee would rather not stand at the microphone between courses.
A buffet keeps a big group moving, while a plated meal gives a more formal sit-down feel.
Ask the functions manager how canapés and the main menu fit around arrivals and photos.
Beverage packages are optional extras rather than part of the base package, which suits a school event.
