Testimonials

Hi guys,

Just wanted to say an enormous THANK YOU for all you did for us leading up to and holding our engagement party. We absolutely loved the venue and our guests couldn't say enough about how nice it was. The food was also amazing, in particular the lamb kebabs and the calamari. Of all the comments we received back from our friends, they all menioned the quality of food and beautiful atmosphere of the rooftop bar. Even when it came to setting up the venue, everybody was so friendly and happy to have us there moving tables around and hanging balloons and decorations.

We would also like to thank the team who helped us on the night. The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly which made our night so much more enjoyable. We would not hesitate recommending the Aurora Hotel to any of our friends or anyone wanting to hold a function there. The next time we have an event we will undoubtably choose to hold it with you again.

Can't thank you enough!

The Account & Event Management team at Ticketek would like to thank you and the staff on hand at our Client Christmas Party for helping us to put on a successful event.Several of our guests remarked at the convenience of the venue location and the incredible atmosphere of the roof top function area. The staff were incredibly accommodating with all our requests and credit goes to your duty manager on the evening, Lance who visited us frequently to make sure our needs were met. Our guests were also very impressed with the food prepared for the evening and the amount that was made available. Thank you once again for all your assistance! Book us in for next year!

On behalf of the guys from Contiki and myself, I would just like to offer my thanks for your help (and patience!) in organising our event last week. The guys from STA all commented that the event was a huge success and are looking forward to the next one so as to be able to return! Venue and food were first class, and the night went as smoothly as we could have hoped thanks to you and the brilliant staff working on the night. We are looking forward to returning to the Aurora for our next function soon.
Cheers,

Brendon and I would like to thank you for having us yesterday for our engagement party on the roof top. What an amazing venue! Your staff were ever so friendly and courteous and willing to help us out with anything we needed. It ticked all the boxes and really made our engagement party that extra special occasion. We had people coming up to us all day saying how much they loved the venue and the party. I will be reccomending your place to anybody i speak too from now on! Thank you :)
