We celebrated my daughter's engagement in the Courtyard room at the Starlight Centre and would recommend it to everyone. During negotiations they were very flexible, on the night we had great staff and a manager to ensure all went well. There was no last minute shocks or surprises, what we had agreed on happened. We had a great night and the food was terrific!! The only little difference was my daughter had asked for black table clothes and white were supplied. This didn't really matter as the lighting on the night was dim was white turned out to be the better choice. Having access to the courtyard which was lighted was a bonus. It enable smokers to go outside, yet still be part of the celebrations - not like having to leave the building and go outside. Some of us were even dancing in the courtyard! Must say the DJ they recommended was fabulous as well! He was experienced, played great music for our mixed group and was an excellent MC. What was best was he was obviously enjoying himself, not like he was working at all!! They were also able to give some of our family who had to travel long distances accommodation at a reasonable price. This place is a must!!

We purchased my daughter's engagement cake and was very impressed with the cake. It was well decorated and great tasting. They also packed it smartly for easy travelling to venue. Their range of cakes is marvellous, with so much variety and cost is reasonable. The site aso allows for sit in snacks etc with a warm cosy environment and tempting goodies. The cake we purchased was around $300 and was 2 tiered to feed 80 people! Well worth it!!

Friday night found rear passenger window smashed and had to drive interstate on Saturday. After calls to police and insurance and O'Briens I was able to take the car into O'Briens first thing Saturday morning. They responded quickly, replaced the window and I was gone within an hour. They were polite and professional with no delays at all.

Excellent! Great atmosphere and music. The food is very tasty and keeps coming. They have a set menu and each course comes without having to ask for it. Intimate lighting makes for an enjoyable evening. Tables are little too close together.

Approximate cost: $25
