It's no secret, we are big fans of BYO drinks and alcohol. With drinks being one of the most important factors of any celebration, it’s great when you are offered the freedom to select your own menu, create your own bar experience - and of course save some big bucks in the process.

If you need convincing of how great BYO catering drinks can be and the benefits it offers, check out 'Why We Love & Recommend BYO' on our blog. 

Finding the perfect Brisbane function space for hire that is also BYO can mean countless hours on Google and many dead-ends. Being a mobile BYO bar service, our events take us all over the city and beyond to some hidden gems to places you would never think about converting into a beautiful celebration. Brisbane BYO function venues are available for weddings, corporate events and parties - you just need to know where to find them.
