We hosted a Brunch for Good charity event with 100 guests. Natalie is a true professional and it all ran so smoothly with delicious food. The wait staff were amazing and service gold class. We are so lucky to have such a quality venue locally.

Fundraiser GalaFAQs
The questions we get asked most about hosting fundraiser galas at The Orchard.
What does a gala dinner cost per head?
We tailor every quote to your guest count, menu and date rather than publish set prices. Send an enquiry and you’ll have a personalised quote within one business day.
Can you run a live and silent auction?
Yes. Screens for the tally, auction display tables, and we can recommend auctioneers and bidding platforms.
Is there parking for 200 guests?
Yes, 200+ spots plus overflow and coach drop-off.
Can we do a sponsor wall and branding?
Yes. A media wall at the entrance, screens and printed menus carry sponsor branding.
