What our clients say

I recently hosted an event with Showtime Events, and they were absolutely amazing! The team was professional, accommodating, and made everything run seamlessly from start to finish. The venue itself was stunning and created the perfect atmosphere. I couldn’t be happier with how it all came together. I’d definitely host another event there in a heartbeat—highly recommend!

Lucas

I wanted to say a big thank you for all of your assistance leading up to our dinner last week and for the great service on the night. We were thrilled to see such a fantastic turnout of staff attending the dinner and we had lots of great feedback about the food. Thank you once again for your support and for making the event memorable.

Anna

Just wanted to say thank you again for all of your help leading up to our event! Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve received a lot of positive feedback through our feedback form. Our attendees loved the venue and the food, and were very happy with Ei8ht Entertainment. All the best for the future! I’m sure the club will be keen to host a similar event next year.

Jasmine

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to hosting the Monash Gala on Friday. The event was wonderful and everyone had an amazing time! I hope there is an opportunity for Monash to work with Showtime again and I mean it when I say working with you all has been nothing short of amazing. I could not have asked for a better or friendlier team and I hope you know it is much appreciated.

Isabella

Our International Women’s Day event for over 140 people was a huge hit with our organisation, with many people commenting on the venue and we were able to work with Showtime to find a package that worked for us and our budget!

Alicia

We wanted to express our sincere gratitude for all your efforts and support for our event last week. The feedback on the venue, food, and service has been outstanding, and our guests had an incredible time at the International Women’s Day event. A day like that requires extensive planning and commitment, and your support in meeting tight deadlines was truly amazing. Thank you to you and the team for helping us deliver an incredible and inspiring event.

Lisa

Dealing with every single step of the booking process was made so easy with the help of the lovely staff . I barely had to lift a finger and it was all organised! No request was too much or too hard and always done with a smile. The food was delicious and fresh and plenty of it. I can’t rate my experience any higher! 11/10.
