INITIAL EVENT SET UP INFORMATION
NOTES
We open our doors 15 mins prior to guest arrival for early comers. Our standard evening event time is 7pm - 12.30am but we can accomodate different times.
Our booking fee covers events up to 5.5 hours, however you can extend your event for $300 per hour to cover additional staff resourcing.
We are licensed from 8am to 4am
Minimum guest numbers:
-
VYC 50 Sun - Thu
-
VYC 60 Fri and Sat
-
Black Door 30
-
If you have less than the guest number we charge a $70 venue fee per absent guest. Eg if you have 28 guests in the Black Door there would be an extra venue hire charge of $140.
Tell us a little bit about your event. Is there something special happening, is there a theme, are there special guests, or anything we should be aware of?
The key contact is the person we will talk to if there are any issues or questions from staff and to discuss the bar TAB (if there is one).

GRAND TOTAL FOOD SPEND
Food Spend
Enter late night food order if required. Pizza, arancini, fries or fish & chips are popular for this. You are also free to order from our bar menu at any time during your event.
Designed to save time and the stress of selecting canapes our pre-designed food packages do the hard work and are made up of our most popular canapes.
5. Dietary Requirements
Let us know if your guests have any dietary requirements or allergies. It is great to also know their names (if known) so that we can look out for them
beverage selection & set up
Bar Set Up
Drink Selection
Specific Wines, Spirits or Cocktails
Please let us know if you have specific wines, spirits or cocktails you would like included on the TAB.
Beyond our Drinks Menu
As a dedicated private events venue we do not have an extensive wine list, therefore we have created a 'Big Menu' where you can pre-order from and add to your custom menu. This includes more expensive wines, champagne options including Magnums, as well as some other fun options like a Champagne Tower.
Bar TAB limit
Please let us know whether you need a bar TAB set up and what you would like to set the limit at. Please also let us know if you require a second TAB for family or named friends.
Drinks on Arrival
Did you want to order any drinks on arrival (these are lined up on the bar)? Let us know what you would like and the quantity of each.
Drinks Packages
We have 3 drinks packages that can be purchased over either 2, 4 or 5.5 hours
Since Covid we do not accept 'cash', however we can set up a till if required (please drop us an email if you need a cash till)
Please advise if you have specific wines, cocktails or spirits you would like included on the TAB. We create a custom menu so you guests will know what is included.
Any items ordered from the Big Menu will be pre-invoiced approx. 14 days prior to your event along with your other fixed cost such as food and security. We recommend under ordering from this menu, as guests will drink a variety of drinks, alongside specific orders. They also probably wont appreciate more expensive wines later in the evening after a few drinks.
Our team will let you know when the TAB is approaching the limit, and you will have the option to increase the limit or open the bar to guest purchases. If you need help estimating a bar TAB check out our handy Bar TAB calculator below, and let us know if you need any help
Drinks on arrival are pre-invoiced before your event and seperate from the bar TAB. The most popular drinks on arrival are Prosecco and our $16 mini cocktails.
Our drinks packages are made up from the most common selections. They are for a set number of hours or the maximum units (which ever is reached first). Full details in the brochure below.
You have the choice to include or exclude drinks on arrival in the package.
formalities
Do yo have any formalities (speeches or presentations)? Let us know what you are planning and what time you would like formalities?
CAKE
If you would like to order a celebration cake from us please let us know which cake, flavour and colour you would like. See our cake menu for full details.
If you have speeches we recommend having them 1 - 1.5 hours after guest arrival, to allow for late comers, but early enough for your guests full attention. We do not serve ice drinks over formalities to minimise disruption.
We are happy for you to arrange a cake from another caker, but charge a $50 BYO fee.
DECORATIONS, music & entertainment
Do you have any decorations booked or would you like to book any decorations through us? Please see attached our decorations brochure.
If you have decorations booked directly and require our team to meet suppliers for set up and pack out we charge a $60 fee to cover their extra time onsite.
AV REQUIREMENTS
You can connect to our TV screens via HDMI cable
MUSIC
Spotify playlists are emailed to barcrew@vyc.co.nz. We recommend two playlists. One for arrival and wind down, the other for banging dance tunes.
VYC DJs can connect to our house system via XLR cables. Black Door DJs connect via RCA cables
DJ / Band Information
Let us know DJ/Band set times (typically 3 or 4 hour sets)
