The new Broadbean: More than a new look

After decades of serving Canberra’s corporate, cultural and social communities, Broadbean is entering a new chapter. One shaped by refined design, renewed energy, and a commitment to creating seamless events that feel both effortless and unforgettable. Whether you’re planning a conference, a celebration, or a gathering with distinct purpose, our role remains the same: to make your life easier and your event exceptional.

Broadbean’s new brand reflects what our clients already know us for — attentive service, thoughtful food, and the kind of behind-the-scenes orchestration that helps every moment land exactly as intended.

We’re not here to steal the show. We’re here to serve it.

This refreshed look and feel brings clarity to our offering and celebrates the three pillars that define what we do best:

• Events — Seamless coordination from first brief to final farewell.
• Catering — Food that complements the moment without overpowering it.
• Venue — World-class spaces at the National Museum of Australia.

From the venue to the menu, you can leave the logistics to us.

Your time is precious and so is the vision you bring to every event. Our new website is built to meet you where you are, with:

• Clear information on every function space
• Guidance on event types and capacity
• Easier ways to connect with us
• A way for us to share inspiration featuring real events
• A considered introduction to our team and approach

If you’re new to Broadbean, think of it as your starting point and a simple, intuitive way to explore ideas, shortlist options, and understand exactly how we can help bring your event to life.

Whether you’re hosting a board meeting or a gala dinner, great events are never just about logistics. They’re about atmosphere, attention, timing, service. A hundred subtle elements working together in quiet harmony.

Our team handles the details you don’t have capacity to think about, and the ones you shouldn’t have to. Allow us to help with coordinating suppliers, fine-tuning layouts, refining service flow, and creating a dining experience that feels elevated without ever feeling overdone.

We’ve always believed food should feel purposeful. Fresh produce. Seasonal menus. Dishes that celebrate local flavour without overshadowing the reason you’ve gathered. Whether you’re planning boardroom bites, wedding dining, or seminar sustenance, we’ll craft a menu that balances creativity with comfort, quality with familiarity, and flavour with flow. Our chefs know that food rarely steals the show, but we can’t promise it won’t become a talking point.

Whether you’re a long-standing client or discovering Broadbean for the first time, we’re excited to welcome you into this next chapter.
