Thank you for considering The Buddha Belly for your upcoming event.

The Buddha Belly is located in the beautiful surroundings of Palmland Nursery. It provides a unique venue, ideal for hosting weddings or special functions. Our restaurant is made up of a series of Balinese pavilions that inter-connect throughout the Japanese Garden, creating an atmosphere of calm and beauty.

The restaurant has many areas for intimate groups, and larger spaces able to cater for dancing or live musicians. With our private garden and our Asian style dining room, we can tailor-make functions to suit every need and budget, such as special boutique weddings, cocktail parties, birthdays, engagements and vowel renewals.

The following information outlines most aspects of holding a function at The Buddha Belly, and should help in assisting you to make your decision. Should you have any further queries, please call us and we will be happy to help.

Food and Beverages

We can cater for your function in a variety of ways. The Buddha Belly can provide canapes served in the garden, with a set menu or limited a la carte menu, individually served or on platters to the tables.

We have many different dishes to choose from off our current menus, however if you have any specific requirements or a request for something you may have had at our restaurant in the past, then please ask for its possible inclusion. The final menu needs to be confirmed no later than one week prior to your function date.

The Buddha Belly is a fully licensed venue. We have reasonably priced wines and beers and can provide a beverage menu to suit any budget.

Restaurant Capacity and Times

The Buddha Belly has a capacity for 80-100 Guests including children. We cater for functions in the evenings only, available from 6.00pm through to 11.30pm. It is usually not possible to start any earlier as we need time to prepare for your function as our daily trading finishes at 4.00pm.

Flowers and Decorations

The restaurant tables are set in full white linen, or with traditional Indonesian table runners at your request. We provide flowers for decorating the tables in combination with tea light candles. If you have a special request that is in keeping with the theme or style of your wedding we are more than happy to supply flowers that go with this.

In regards to music you have a variety of options. You can keep it simple by using our selection of iPod playlists. Or we can put you in contact with musicians that play regularly at the Buddha Belly, ranging from harpists, to swing bands.
