§ KUDARA HALL
A single 24-metre span with a built-in stage, in-house production and three kitchens behind it. Plenary conference by day, gala dinner by night, on one contract and one site.
§ THE SPACE, SET
The floor is column-free, so the seating plan is a choice, not a compromise — including sectioning the hall for syndicate breakouts beside the plenary. Indicative maximums per layout — your exact figure is confirmed on the proposal.

Capacities are indicative maximums for planning and move with staging, dance floors, translation booths and camera positions. Your exact figure is confirmed on the written proposal.
§ STAGE & PRODUCTION
Stage, screens, line-array sound, lighting rig, streaming and a duty technician are built in — there is no third-party AV company to brief, schedule or mark up.
All of the above is in-house — no third-party AV company to brief or mark up. Specialist additions (extra LED, broadcast crew, a show caller) are brought in on request and quoted on the proposal.
§ CATERING
Asian, European and African menus from the hotel's own restaurants — tastings on site, dietaries handled, served to 300+ without the room going cold. Rates are per delegate and indicative.
The breaks and the lunch bundled, so the catering is one line on the budget.
Arrival coffee, tea and a light bite
Mid-morning and afternoon breaks with something baked
Hot fork buffet or plated working lunch in a restaurant
Still and sparkling water on the tables all day
Rotates across the Asian, European and African kitchens

Service paced to your programme, not ours
All three kitchens, plus specialist hires when a dish needs them
Per-delegate rates are indicative placeholders for planning. Final menus, minimum numbers, service style and dietary loading are confirmed on your written proposal after a tasting.
§ HOW IT WORKS
One planner owns your event end to end — you are not handed between departments once the contract is signed.
Dates, rough numbers, the shape of the day and any spaces you already have in mind. Two minutes on the form, or a message to the events desk.
A named planner picks it up
Availability, the rooms that fit, a set-up plan and an indicative cost — day-delegate, residential or bespoke — usually back the same working day.
One document, one number to react to
A site visit with your planner and, if you want them, the chef and the AV lead. We hold the date provisionally while you decide.
A provisional hold on your date
Sign, pay the deposit, and the same planner runs the event on the day — briefing the kitchen, the floor and the technicians, and handling the breakdown.
One point of contact, brief to breakdown
§ DELEGATE PACKAGES
Day-delegate, 24-hour residential, board-dinner and wedding packages — bundled so you are not costing the room, the screen and the coffee line by line. Rates are indicative and confirmed on proposal.

§ WHY EMIN PASHA
The reasons a second event is booked before the first one has been broken down.
Venue, catering, rooms, parking and the after-party on a single contract. Nothing is sub-contracted, so nothing falls between two suppliers.
Asian, European and African menus from the hotel's own restaurants — tastings on site, dietary requirements handled, no caterer's mark-up on top.
The person who quotes your event runs it on the day. You are never handed to an 'operations team' after signing.
The Equatorial Gardens — lawned, private, and the best outdoor picture spot in Kampala — ten minutes from the CBD, not an hour down a marram road.
Delegate blocks, a bridal suite and late checkout on the same estate — speakers and the top table are not driving across town at midnight.
Gated parking, a separate event entrance and a green room off the hall — for a minister, a keynote or a nervous bride.
§ REQUEST A PROPOSAL
The more you share, the more useful our first reply is — dates, numbers, the spaces you have in mind. A planner responds personally with availability and an indicative cost. Nothing here is binding.

reservations@eminpasha.com§ GOOD TO KNOW
Provisional holds, deposits, catering, AV, parking and accommodation blocks — the questions the events desk fields most.
They are indicative maximums so you can shortlist rooms. Your real number depends on staging, a dance floor, AV positions and catering style, so the exact figure for your layout is confirmed on the proposal and at the site visit.
Yes — and it is a feature, not a restriction. All food and drink come from the hotel's own restaurants, so there is no external caterer's mark-up, tastings happen on site, and dietary requirements are handled by the kitchen that will cook on the day.
Kudara Hall has an in-house stage set, screens, projection and a sound system, and a technician is on site for the event. Specialist rigs — LED walls, multi-camera, simultaneous interpretation — are brought in through our partners and quoted in the proposal.
A signed contract and a deposit confirm the booking, with the balance due before the event. Bookings over ten rooms follow our group terms — written confirmation within 14 days, rooming lists 7 days out, and a 50% deposit. The exact schedule is on your contract.
Yes. We hold a room block against your event — delegate rates for a conference, a guest block and bridal suite for a wedding — on the same estate, so nobody is travelling across Kampala late at night. Unused rooms are released back on an agreed date.
§ THE LAST STEP
Send the brief and a planner comes back the same working day with what is available and what it costs. Prefer to talk it through first? All three lines reach a person.
