If you’re yet to get a glimpse of the incredible new-look JW Marriott, then, friends – consider this a sign. The Surfers Paradise locale is rolling out the red carpet for a day of fashion, food and fun with two different Melbourne Cup soirees. The spectacular Grand Ballroom is set to host to one of the city’s most elegant (and largest) Melbourne Cup luncheons. The lavish affair will feature a delectable three-course spring lunch accompanied by a three-hour luxury beverage package plus a glass of sparkling on arrival. Party-starters Midnight Finesse will set the scene with live tunes into the afternoon. Fashions on the field is proudly sponsored by Harbour Town Premium Outlets and will showcase the glamour of the day, plus you can try your luck in the sweepstakes by the Gold Coast Hospital Foundation. There will be live coverage from Flemington and one lucky guest will win a Jaguar to cruise around in for the weekend! Tickets are $169 per person – head here to grab yours.
Meanwhile, the tranquil surrounds of the Tamborine Gallery will host a glamorous garden party complete with the resort’s traditional JW High Tea, featuring a mix of savoury and sweet delights sourced from the Gold Coast Hinterland alongside bottomless Moet Chandon (yes, you read that correctly). Dine on oceanic flavours such as Pacific Oysters and drool-inducing Moreton Bay bug rolls with black caviar, alongside other treats created by the expert pastry team. Throughout the afternoon there will be live entertainment, a fashion parade, sweepstakes by the Gold Coast Hospital Foundation, prizes for best dressed, live coverage from Flemington, raffle tickets and giveaways. Guests will also have exclusive access to the Spring after-party at Chapter & Verse Bar and Lounge from 3:30 pm. Tickets are $229 per person – head here to grab yours.
