Planning a Party

On Premise Events in the Gracious Mongoose Junction Courtyard

We can keep it simple for a casual gathering of friends or family with simple casual fare and an open bar, or we provide higher levels of service as required. From tiki torches, fire dancers and mocko jumbies, to themed food and beverage stations, jazz or reggae bands, we have the experience to custom design your event, all in the beautiful courtyards of Mongoose Junction.
