We also provide AV equipment, including sound systems and projectors, and Wi-Fi is free. You needn’t worry if you experience technical difficulties because you can call on our onsite tech support services.
Keep your guests well-fed with our gourmet catering options.
Can the event space be customised to suit branding or specific themes?
Yes, we can certainly customise the space to suit your specific needs. The hall’s decor is elegant and neutral, so you can easily put your stamp on the space. You can set the stage, literally, by arranging stage sets (including custom lighting), branding banners, and temporary signage. Branded tents and pavilions are easy to put up outside.
We can easily decorate the hall according to different themes. We even have decor for some of the most common themes available. You can work with our event coordinators to ensure you get exactly the layout you want, in keeping with your chosen decor.
Are there breakout or networking areas available within The Garden Arena?
Yes, there are three functional spaces for breakout and networking areas.
- Arena Hall: Primary event area
- Arena Bar: Refreshments and networking between sessions, during meals, and after the event.
- Cascades Pavillion: Cantilevered deck over koi ponds for breakout sessions and discussion groups.
Event coordinators will ensure a natural flow (for people, themes, and decor) between sessions to encourage networking and relaxation during coffee breaks and when the event is over.
