Celebration of Life at the Ommaroo

At the Ommaroo, we understand that a celebration of life is a deeply personal moment, a time to gather, remember and honour someone special, surrounded by the people who loved them.

Our compassionate team is here to make planning a celebration of life as straightforward as possible, offering a peaceful setting, thoughtful hospitality and flexibility to suit your wishes.
 
A space to gather, remember and reflect

Whether you are planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, the Ommaroo offers a range of welcoming spaces:

Larger celebrations for up to 125 can be held in Grantley’s, with options including a finger buffet, afternoon tea, canapés or a tailored menu to suit your preferences. Situated on the lower ground floor, Grantley’s incorporates a fully stocked bar, private entrance, enclosed outdoor seating area, disabled access, cloakroom and toilets.

If you are looking to host a larger number of guests, our restaurant, Palmer’s, can be available between October and April. Please contact us for details. Our marquee is also available during the summer months.

If you have something specific in mind, family traditions, favourite foods, or a particular way you’d like to honour your loved one, we are always happy to discuss bespoke arrangements.
