The WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo is one of the most popular spots on Darling Harbour, and in Sydney. This is hardly a surprise given that it’s a zoo - animals make nigh on any setting that much better. Aside from being a well-loved fixture in Sydney throughout the year with children and children-at-heart alike, WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo also spends much of its time moonlighting as a versatile and high-quality function venue. The spaces available within the zoo for functions are the Kangaroo Walkabout, Koala Rooftop, and the Croc Deck. Each is unique and striking in its own way, complete with native trees, open-air vibes, and of course, animals. Functions - whether cocktail-style or for dinner, private or corporate - are able to book in access to enclosures before celebrations kick-off. WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo and the team at Merlin Entertainments can accommodate cocktail events, sophisticated dinners, corporate presentations, as well as family fun days. The WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo is found on Darling Harbour, right by the Aquarium Ferry Wharf, and a short walk from Pyrmont Bridge. Of course, that also means the WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo is a stroll away from a whole host of Sydney’s most notable spots and sights.

The Kangaroo Walkabout is just that - a space in which kangaroos roam about walkways filled with enraptured and delighted guests. The Kangaroo Walkabout is an open-air, gorgeous function venue (as well as an enclosure for our nation's favourite animal). Native trees abound, as kangaroos bound on red earth. There's plenty of room in the Kangaroo Walkabout, making it great for larger events, and children's birthdays.

We have been working with Bespoke for several years now and we can honestly say they are the best caterer we have ever worked with. Amazing food, super accomodating and always super friendly. Bespoke are clearly passionate about food and great service. Keep up the great work.

Bespoke catered a 15 person wedding reception for my wife and I. Out of the caterers we shortlisted, they were by far the most professional to deal with and had the widest offering. We were spoilt for choice with their menu, and were lucky enough to be provided with some of their recommendations. We taste tested these and knew right away we'd found the perfect caterers. Fast forward to the day, they showed up, knew exactly how to navigate the foreign kitchen, worked autonomously and provided the most amazing lunch to our pre-discussed schedule. Our guests haven't stopped talking about their food experience since. We're already trying to find excuses to host another event and cannot wait to work with Bespoke Catering again in the near future!!

I had Bespoke Catering come to my home for a special part of my 50th birthday celebrations. I cannot speak highly enough of Fabio and his team. The professionalism, cuisine, friendliness and service was 6 star and I’m so thrilled - they made my night perfect and I highly recommend them for any event. Delicious food, amazing service. Thanks Fabio, Dion, Axel and Rosie for a fabulous evening 😊

I hosted a lunch for 10 ladies at my home for my birthday. Fabio and his team set up, prepared and served delicious food and attended to topping up drinks. Their work was carried out efficiently and seamlessly, my kitchen was left clean too! I am very grateful to the team for helping make my birthday celebration so special. I have no hesitation in recommending them. Thank you again 🤗
