Private functions
Bring colleagues, friends or family together around seasonal contemporary Australian dining, curated drinks and a hosted card occasion shaped for your group. Every poker moment is tactile, face-to-face and screen-free: it takes place inside Marblean Dwillow with dealer guidance and non-monetary tournament chips.
Offline social pokerA tailored enquiry is the best place to begin; we will use your brief to discuss a fitting in-venue occasion.
A considered occasion
A private function can begin with a simple occasion and become a coherent evening of food, conversation and hosted cards. Share the character of your group, and we can begin the planning conversation from there.
Dining is the social anchor. Guests can arrive around contemporary Australian food, conversation and attentive table-side hospitality before cards begin, or let dining and play sit alongside one another. Multi-course or banquet-style choices are part of the planning conversation, allowing the table to feel considered rather than pre-set.
Your host can shape the relationship between dining, drinks and dealer-led play. Personal dealers or private card hosts keep the table welcoming for newcomers and engaging for experienced guests, using non-monetary tournament chips throughout the in-person game.
Approximate guest numbers, poker experience, menu preference and event timing give our team a useful starting point. These practical details help us recommend an arrangement that suits your occasion without asking you to have every decision settled before you enquire.
Corporate occasions
Collaborative team-building card tournaments give colleagues a shared table, easy conversation and a friendly structure for an evening together. Dealer-hosted poker takes place only at the venue as social entertainment, so the focus remains on face-to-face connection, not screens, wagering or competitive financial outcomes. Every table uses non-monetary tournament chips.
Personal dealers help keep a corporate card tournament orderly, conversational and welcoming. Clear table-side guidance lets hosts stay with their guests while the dealer-host supports the flow of play for mixed experience levels.
Tailored banquet menus can sit alongside the card experience, giving organisers one coherent hospitality plan. Tell us the preferred menu direction in your enquiry and we can use it to begin the dining discussion.
Private VIP poker suites
Private VIP poker suites are light-filled settings for a personal group occasion, where dining, conversation and face-to-face hosting can unfold at an unhurried pace. The room can be arranged around 1 or 2 dedicated poker tables while keeping the gathering grounded in hospitality.
The option of 1 or 2 dedicated poker tables helps hosts consider the scale and rhythm of their group. It keeps the card moment contained within the private occasion, with non-monetary tournament chips handled at the table.
Sommelier pairings can be discussed as an optional hospitality consideration alongside the dining plan, helping food and curated drinks move at a thoughtful pace through the evening.
Private card hosts give the gathering a welcoming point of guidance at the table. Hosted poker remains in person and venue-based, allowing guests to settle into a clear, social shared experience.
The private format keeps dining and cards in the same considered brief, so hosts can describe the feeling they want for the occasion before selecting finer details.
Hosted card packages
Silver, Gold and Masterclass offer a clear vocabulary for beginning the conversation. Each combines multi-course dining with fully hosted poker games, then leaves room for your group’s preferred pace and event brief.
A considered opening for a shared dinner and hosted cards.
Silver suits groups seeking multi-course dining paired with a fully hosted poker game. It is a polished conversation starter for a tailored brief: tell us about your guests, menu preference and timing, and we can discuss how the evening may take shape.

Gold frames a more layered hosted occasion in which multi-course dining and a fully hosted poker game take equal billing. It gives organisers a useful starting point when preferred pacing matters, without asking them to decide every element before the enquiry.
Enquire about GoldA more guided conversation for a considered card experience.
Masterclass combines multi-course dining with fully hosted poker games for groups seeking a more considered card experience. The tone remains social and inclusive for mixed experience levels, with dealer-hosted, face-to-face play using non-monetary tournament chips.
Enquire about MasterclassPackage selection is a starting point, not a final arrangement. Guest count, poker experience, preferred menu and event timing help the team make a fitting recommendation.
Start your event enquiryDining and drinks
Food remains central to the occasion. Marblean Dwillow’s contemporary Australian dining identity can guide the event conversation, whether guests are gathering around multi-course dining as part of a card package or making dinner the main social anchor. A preferred menu direction is enough to begin; it lets the team understand the character you are considering without turning the enquiry into a definitive selection.
Curated drinks can support a well-paced hosted evening, giving guests a natural way to settle in, dine and continue conversation around the table. VIP suite enquiries may also discuss sommelier pairings alongside the food plan, where that feels right for the brief.
The evening
Guests arrive to a prepared dining setting, reconnecting over food and drinks before the card element begins. The pace remains flexible, allowing conversation and attentive hospitality to set the tone for the group.
The hosted poker moment is dealer-led, tactile and social, with non-monetary tournament-chip stacks handled at the table. There is no online poker, remote wagering or digital gambling software: play takes place only in the venue, around real guests and a hosted card table.
As the occasion winds down, guests have time to reflect, continue the conversation and leave with a shared in-person experience. The ending stays open enough to suit both corporate groups and personal celebrations.
Practical clarity
Approximate information is useful at this stage. Having a few details ready lets the enquiry focus on the shape of the occasion rather than on follow-up basics.
Hosts can brief guests with confidence: card-table access is for adults with valid Australian photo ID. Poker is strictly in person and offline inside the venue, using non-monetary tournament chips. There is no online poker, remote wagering, real-money gaming or digital gambling software.
