READY TO WELCOME YOU
MOAMA RSL’S NEW FUNCTION ROOM IS WAITING PATIENTLY TO HOST WEDDING CELEBRATIONS.
“COVID has certainly affected weddings and functions as a whole,” Moama RSL functions manager Sharon Freer said.
The Poppies on Merool function room was opened last year, and while it has hosted a number of corporate events, the new space has yet to welcome newlyweds and their loved ones.
“It’s just a beautiful new space with a gorgeous bar,” Sharon said.
The room can host 200 guests for a sit-down reception or up to 320 people for a relaxed cocktail function. The main feature of the function room is the long stone bar that runs across on side of the room. Along with the dance floor and stage, Poppies on Merool has the perfect foundations for a wonderful night.
“When you walk into the Poppies space, it’s so bright and airy,” Sharon said.
“You can do anything with it, really, you can make it your own.”
With a combination of the club’s wedding decorations for hire and the couple’s own supplies, Poppies on Merool can be transformed to suit any aesthetic. Add a few wine barrels and native flowers to create a rustic, country atmosphere; or, classic lilies or roses complementing delicate draping fabric and fairy lights can create a beautiful white wedding in the space.
The club’s wedding packages and catering options are also tailored to suit the bride and groom. Food-wise, formal three-course meals, casual canapés and grazing platters are among the options.
“If there’s something specific our guests want, our chefs are amazing so they can cater to anything that anyone needs,” Sharon said.
According to Sharon, Moama RSL’s ability to cater to all requests sets it apart from other venues. The team members pride themselves on their service experience with large functions, and their flexibility when it comes to hosting weddings.
“We’re happy to work with what the bride and groom want specifically,” she said.
“It’s their day; what they need and what they require is the most important thing.”
Moama RSL’s flexibility also extends to bookings, especially during the uncertainty of COVID-19 restrictions and lockdowns. If circumstances change, the RSL offers full refunds or can reschedule to a new date.
Sharon sympathises with those couples struggling to find a date.
“We’ve had to move our wedding, so I totally understand what it’s like to be in this situation,” she said.
