Offering a new spin to catering in Canberra are Kambri’s catering duo of Sammy and Bella, sisters who first rose to fame as the winners of ‘My Kitchen Rules’ in 2011.

They’ve since gone on to appear as guests and resident chefs on dozens of TV shows, as well as opening restaurants, plus writing, photographing and blogging about food.

Bella explains their enthusiasm for their newest venture.

“It’s an incredible honour to be working with one of Canberra’s best state-of-the-art venues, and we look forward to sharing our menu that incorporates handmade, sustainable Australian native produce with delicious flavours.”

Another company whose services will be available for hire is Black and White Waiters. The company’s director, Alejandro Jara, will ensure his staff set the benchmark for superior service that others will seek to emulate.

“At Black and White Waiters, we focus on providing memorable experiences for all our guests; going above and beyond what they expect with friendly, professional and seamless service that perfectly represents our clients, is responsive to their needs and ultimately helps them put on a flawless event.”

In addition to the Culture and Events buildings, the impressive six-floor Marie Raey Teaching Centre building offers a multitude of rooms and cutting-edge technology for programming opportunities outside of University teaching hours.

This includes the top level ‘Superfloor’ with high ceilings, uninterrupted views across Canberra, an outdoor balcony, and a flexible collaborative environment holding up to 300 people.

Kambri’s cultural areas and programs will be innovative, inclusive, and inspiring, with an ongoing calendar of events including concerts, comedy shows, sporting action, and art exhibitions, as well as the diverse range of cafes, restaurants and bars.

Whether it’s a major international conference, small-scale meeting, gala dinner, popular concert, open-air festival, seminar series, pop-up market or an awards night, the many inviting indoor and outdoor spaces of Kambri provide options that are modern, attractive, and adaptable.
