Event planning and onsite support
Every event at The Central is unique. Working with you from the outset, Events Director Diane tailors each occasion to your specific needs and vision. Whether you are planning a corporate conference, a private dinner, a fundraising gala or a wedding, Diane brings the experience and attention to make it considered and memorable.
Your spaces serve as blank canvases. From the flexible Wolfson Hall to the light-filled Atrium, each area can be dressed and configured to suit the occasion. State-of-the-art AV equipment, customisable layouts and the Atrium’s retractable roof give you the means to shape the atmosphere entirely.
A dedicated Registration area provides a composed welcome point for your guests on arrival. We also connect you with a carefully selected network of professional suppliers, including caterers, florists, photographers, furniture hire providers, live bands, DJs, entertainers and production companies.
We are here to support you at whatever level you need.
