An engagement party can help set the mood for the ultimate celebration of love and the union of two people. It can be an opportunity for two families to come together for the first time, get to know each other, and reflect on the bonds they will share for years. For others, it’s bringing together close friends and immediate family, now joined by two people and sharing their excitement for the wedding.
And still, for others, it may be an opportunity to celebrate before taking off on an intimate island wedding—or even eloping on the other side of the globe! The reason for an engagement party may be unique. Still, the motivation to celebrate remains constant: it’s a profoundly personal way to bring together two families and loved friends of the bride and groom-to-be before they’re officially married.
It can be stressful and daunting if you’re new to arranging parties. With the experienced team of event planners, restaurant staff, and chefs at The Playford Hotel, your engagement celebration can be a personal expression of your commitment that runs seamlessly, allowing you to relax and enjoy the company of your guests and the complete experience.
No matter your reason for holding an engagement party or the number of guests you’re looking to accommodate, The Playford Hotel can help with intimate brunches through to elaborate dinners complete with staging and audio-visual equipment.
Personalizing Your Celebration
For a smaller, more intimate celebration, The Playford Restaurant offers innovative, world-class cuisine in the comfort of Adelaide’s best luxury hotel. We source the finest South Australian ingredients to produce modern Australian cuisine perfectly balanced with an award-winning wine list.
Alternatively, if your guest list is more extensive, we can also have a private function room. We specialise in tailoring packages to suit your celebration, from a stand-up cocktail-style event to a champagne breakfast or a formal sit-down lunch or dinner.
Our friendly and experienced team can organise the complete event or as little as you like, making it as easy as possible to enjoy your time celebrating with the most important people in your life.
Relax and Stay Overnight
Stay one night, or stay the whole weekend! We have a range of room types and packages available to suit your every need.
Our Playford guestrooms offer a choice of one king or two queen beds (subject to availability), or our Studio Spa Suites have that extra luxury, featuring a separate living room and bedroom area, kitchenette facilities, and a corner spa.
For the premium option, The Playford Hotel also offers exclusive New York-style Loft Suites. A split-level layout provides a loft bedroom with living space and a spa bathroom on the lower floor. Both the Studio Spa Suites and Loft Suites also have the option to upgrade to North Terrace-facing views, overlooking the picturesque tree-lined streetscape below.
For groups of 10 or more, we can offer discounted accommodation rates; contact us for more details.
