Visit to The Decks Seafood

About 8pm, upon the arrival of my dear sister from Malaysia to Brisbane on her way to Melbourne for her hairdressing course, combining with a desire to check out a potential wedding reception venue, we headed to the Decks Seafood in Southbank. We were seated by a waitress whom we requested her to meet us with the Manager of the restaurant. We were greeted personally by the Manager who then shared with us a lot of information and ideas about organising a wedding reception at their place. He also shared about his own wedding which was at their backyard with the intimate friends and family. We love his honesty in prompting us to organise one that is within our own budget but not being pushed to invite more or less. He is very good in his business negotiating skills and never gave us an exact amount for the total costs we will be paying but an approximate amount according to the number and the kind of food we order. In one sense is good that he is willing to work with our budget but in another hand it even increased our blurriness and turned us away because we are not given a definite answer.

Frankly the atmosphere was good with nice in-house soft music, nature breeze from the deck through to the inside, a big TV at the corner (maybe can display a short love story clip), big dance floor in the middle, enough seats for more than 100 people. It does not suit us because we are only going to have 80 people and that to be offered a sole use of the restaurant for a Saturday night they are charging a Hire Fee of $2000, on the proviso that the wedding party is between 80 - 100 on the night.
