The Pre-Function Area at Yarra Valley Lodge sits immediately outside the Marmion Ballroom and is designed to support the flow of a larger conference or celebration. Its approximately 105 square metres can be used for event registration, morning tea, networking, pre-dinner drinks or a small trade display of up to four booths. Natural light, a pillar-free layout and access to the Conservatory Terrace make it flexible across the day. A pop-up private bar may be available. The operator lists capacity for up to 150 guests, depending on setup.
