Putting a party together shouldn’t feel like a full-time job.
If you’re organising a 40th, engagement, family catch-up, work function, or club night, the Courthouse Hotel Smythesdale is set up to make it all feel simple — so you can actually enjoy the event, not just plan it.
A Space That Fits Your Crowd
Every event is different, so your space should be too.
We’ve got flexible indoor areas and outdoor options that can work for all kinds of gatherings — from relaxed drinks with mates to more formal celebrations.
Need room for a speech? Want a space that feels a bit more private? Thinking of sectioning off an area just for your group?
We’ll work with you to shape the layout and setup around what you’ve got in mind.
Food Your Guests Will Actually Talk About
Forget basic frozen party food.
Our kitchen team can put together grazing-style spreads, share plates, or customised menus to suit your event and your guests.
Have dietary requirements, kids attending, or a themed night in mind? Just let us know — we’re more than happy to adapt.
It’s real food, made fresh, designed to keep people happy, full, and lingering a little longer.
Drinks Sorted, Your Way
Want the bar open all night? Prefer a set tab so you stay in control? Keen on a simple drinks package so guests don’t have to think about it?
We can help with:
- Drinks tabs tailored to your budget
- Simple package options
- A mix of local wines, tap beers, spirits, and classic favourites
Tell us how you’d like it to run, and we’ll help keep things easy, flexible, and clear.
You Enjoy the Night — We’ll Handle the Rest
Hosting at home means shopping, cooking, setting up, cleaning, and hoping nothing gets broken.
Hosting at The Courthouse means you can turn up, celebrate, and head home without worrying about:
- Cleaning up
- Setting tables or moving furniture
- Coordinating food and drink timings
We can even help with music, timing, and seating ideas if you’re not sure where to start. Our goal is to make event planning feel straightforward, not stressful.
Let’s Start Planning
Whether it’s your birthday, someone else’s big moment, a club function, or “just because”, we’d love to host you.
