What gaming and entertainment options are included for wedding guests?

All guests have access to TOCA's 5 football-based games in private boxes, plus arcade machines, foosball tables, air hockey, and karaoke booths. No football skills are required as the games are designed for fun rather than expertise. A boot room is available for guests to change shoes before playing.

What food and beverage options are available for wedding celebrations?

Food is served on sharing platters featuring international cuisine including American Diner, Latin American, and Asian options, from sliders to BAO buns. Drinks include welcome options like champagne, wines, beers, and cocktails, with the choice of open bar service or restricted options. All catering is created as a bespoke pre-order based on your food and drink spend allocation.

What additional services and equipment are included with the venue hire?

The Corner Bar includes TOCA Techsperts for AV and digital branding support, photo booths with branding opportunities, free-standing projector and screen, microphones and clickers for presentations, and private washrooms. Cloakroom and boot hire are available on request, along with a designated event manager.

Can the game boxes be used for purposes other than gaming during wedding events?

Yes, the 8 game boxes in the Corner Bar can be repurposed as breakout spaces, areas for branding displays, smaller meeting spaces for wedding planning discussions, or screening areas. This flexibility allows couples to customize the space layout for different parts of their celebration.

What happens if our wedding party doesn't meet the minimum spend requirement?

You are still required to pay the full minimum spend amount even if your actual consumption is lower. However, if the minimum spend doesn't suit your budget, you can discuss your exact budget with the events team to explore alternative options or different dates that may have lower minimum requirements.
