I recently had my birthday at Purple Emerald honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Phil and the team were incredible! So friendly, organised and genuinely invested in making the night run smoothly. They made sure everyone had something to eat and drink and were super helpful with setting up my photos for the projector. The venue itself is such a cool space. It ended up being perfect for my vampire‑themed party. Everyone who attended commented on how well it suited the vibe. I’m so grateful for how easy and enjoyable the whole night was. Highly recommend.

Excellent venue, space, staff and communication. Hosted a birthday party here and booked the whole venue. Had about 90ish people, which was the right amount to feel busy but comfortable. It has a fantastic mix of outdoor and indoor spaces and a 4 toilets (1 wheelchair accessible). They have a roof for when it was raining outside. Phil was great to speak with and support on the night. We had projectors going (Phil even fixed a some HEIC files I forgot to convert to Jpeg). Bring a couple of USBs with jpg photos, something to plug your aux cord into, some mates and you've got a great night. Thanks again team!

I recently celebrated my 25th at The Sundeck at the Purple Emerald Lounge Bar and it was absolutely fantastic. From the start, communication was prompt and clear. Phil answered all my questions with ease, and the booking process was seamless. On the night, Phil greeted us immediately and introduced me to the incredible staff, Cass, Brayden, and Georgie, who were friendly and attentive throughout the evening. The catering and drinks were a hit with everyone and there was a lot of variety available. The atmosphere was so welcoming that many of my guests have gone on to message me and mention how much they enjoyed the venue. I cannot recommend The Sundeck highly enough. If you’re looking for the perfect function space, this is it.

What an amazing venue! We recently had our daughter's 21st birthday at the Purple Emerald. I can't thank Phil enough for all of his assistance in making this night memorable! The venue is amazing as is the food. Every attention to detail was provided including gorgeous decorations. Our daughter and all our guests had the best evening. Thank you Phil and team for your fabulousness. We will be back again soon

We had our end-of-year event take place here, and it was a great time. We were given full accesss of the venue, including the Sundeck section out the back. The weather was lovely on the day which I am sure Phil and his team arranged too! Great food, great service and great atmosphere. I will be back either alone or with another group of people ready to party. Thank you Purple Emerald Lounge Bar!
