Green House hosts cocktail receptions for up to 120 guests and seated dinners for 40. The space stands in the gardens beneath the cliff face at Howard Smith Wharves, the riverside dining and events precinct at 5 Boundary Street in Brisbane, and is booked for company drinks, client dinners, birthdays and wedding receptions.
Seminars and company events
Howard Smith Wharves lists Green House among its spaces for corporate events, award dinners, incentive evenings and end-of-year parties. The room suits a client dinner, a team celebration or drinks after a meeting held elsewhere in the precinct. Wi-Fi, a private bar, air conditioning and AV options are provided. Background music runs through the house speaker system, and microphones or extra audiovisual equipment come from Scene Change, the precinct's exclusive AV supplier. For larger groups, the same events team manages bigger rooms on the site, such as the Rivershed and Felons Barrel Hall.
Weddings and receptions
Green House is one of three dedicated spaces the precinct offers for wedding receptions, alongside the Rivershed and Bougainvillea House. It fits a small wedding dinner or an evening cocktail party. Couples may bring their own cake, stylists and decorations, though the venue does not provide theming.
Rooms and capacities
The indoor room is temperature controlled and opens onto a large covered terrace furnished with lounge and café tables. Capacity is 40 seated or 120 standing. The space is wheelchair accessible and protected from the weather; toilets are outside the pavilion and shared with the precinct. The room is private, but public paths pass nearby, so signage marks the event. Access starts one hour before the booking and ends 30 minutes after it. The licence runs to midnight; outdoor amplified music stops at 10 pm, and live music is limited to a solo act, a duo or a DJ, without drums.
Accommodation
Crystalbrook Vincent, a 166-room hotel built into the same cliff face, stands within Howard Smith Wharves, which makes it easy to house speakers or wedding guests a short walk from the party.
Catering
All food and drinks come from Howard Smith Wharves, and outside catering is not allowed. Menus can be feasting, plated or cocktail style and draw on local produce. Dietary needs are handled when sent seven days ahead. Drinks can be served as packages, on a bar tab or as a cash bar, and arrival cocktails can be pre-ordered. Furniture, linen, tableware, setup and event staff are part of the booking.
Getting there
Howard Smith Wharves is on the riverfront at 5 Boundary Street, Brisbane City, with a car park on site and a pontoon on the river. Security can be added if the event's risk assessment calls for it.
