CASABELLA offers flexibility around event timings, with no fixed daytime or evening hire periods. Whether you're planning an early breakfast, full-day workshop, long lunch, or evening celebration, your hire times can be tailored around your event.
Bump-in and bump-out access is arranged in advance and tailored to the requirements of your event. Your caterers, stylists, and suppliers are welcome to access the venue during the agreed period. All externally supplied items, decorations, and equipment need to be removed following the event unless otherwise arranged.
-
CASABELLA is a dry-hire venue, giving you the freedom to create your event your way. You'll need to arrange your own catering, beverages, event staff, styling, and any additional furniture, entertainment, or equipment you require.
You're welcome to work with any caterer you choose, and our fully equipped kitchen facilities make the space well suited to chef-led dinners and demonstrations. CASABELLA is a non-licensed venue and BYO beverages are welcome. Please note alcohol cannot be sold directly from the venue - any licensing or host responsibility requirements remain the responsibility of the hirer.
There are no compulsory suppliers or fixed packages, but we're happy to make recommendations if you need them.
-
Absolutely. You're welcome to bring in additional furniture, florals, signage, and styling to make the space your own. Some existing furniture can be moved depending on your event's requirements, and artwork can be removed upon request.
Any installations or items that need to be fixed to the building should be approved with us beforehand to ensure the existing finishes are protected. If you're planning a larger installation or significant change to the space, let us know in advance so we can work through what's possible.

CASABELLA has been designed to accommodate a wide range of occasions, including private dinners, weddings and wedding-related occasions (engagement parties, rehearsal dinners, post-ceremony celebrations), corporate events, product launches, brand activations, workshops, celebrations, photoshoots, content creation, and chef-led events.
DJs and live music are welcome - as CASABELLA is located in Parnell, noise restrictions and event finishing times apply and will be confirmed as part of your booking. Multi-day hire is also available for events, activations, installations, and productions requiring additional time, quoted individually based on your needs.
If you have something a little different in mind, get in touch - the space is intentionally adaptable.
-
There is on-street parking available throughout the surrounding Parnell area. CASABELLA does not have dedicated guest parking, so for larger events we recommend guests allow additional time or use taxi and rideshare services.
Supplier access and delivery times are arranged with you before the event. For larger deliveries, installations, or a more involved setup, we can coordinate access requirements with your suppliers ahead of time.
-
Yes, of course. We're happy to arrange a private viewing so you can experience the space and discuss how it could work for your event. Viewings are by appointment only - please fill out our contact form here, and we’ll be in touch.

A 50% deposit is required to confirm your booking, with the remaining balance due 7 days before your event.
Bookings are fully refundable if cancelled more than 7 days before the event date. Cancellations made within 7 days of the event are non-refundable.
