When you’re looking at venues for hire in Melbourne, budget plays a key role. Just like every other component, costs vary dramatically depending on the unique requirements of your event. For example, pricing for an end-of-year party may differ from a wedding or private function based on layout, duration and exclusivity.

Our venue hire costs are determined by the individual requirements of your event and the specific areas booked on an exclusive-hire basis, with packages available to cover half-day, full-day or bespoke hire periods. For pricing guides specific to your needs, submit an enquiry form on our website.

Whether you’re planning a wedding, market or music event, we can tailor the layout to suit your guest count and format.
