Melbourne is the capital of Victoria and a bustling city with many venues for hire to suit a whole range of budgets. Located in the downtown centre of the city is the Central Business District (CBD) a district bounded by Spring Street, Flinders Street and Spencer Street. The CBD is filled with meeting rooms, bars, clubs, cafes and hotels, all ready to be hire for your birthday, reception or office bash. Check out the area’s many and easily accessible venues for private events, including corporate meeting rooms on Collins St, stylish cocktail bars not far from Flinders Street Railways Station, and large conference centres near Exhibition Street. One of the most versatile venues in the CBD, the Melbourne Town Hall is worth a look, it offers room hire for groups from 10 to 2,000. If you are looking for an outdoor venue, consider The Royal Botanical Gardens on Birdwood Ave, this gorgeous locale offers several locations in the gardens that are available for hire. If a waterfront view is your desire, you can keep going across Lonsdale Street until you hit the Docklands, and you will find a wide range of harbourside function venues there.

If you are looking for a more celebratory venue, minimum spend can range from $500 to $2000 per session. Per person package fees can start around $20, and go up to $85.

The staff were so so friendly and the event organiser so very helpful. They really do go above and beyond. The venue is well located. Easy to find, nice decor. Great space. Good value with having a minimum spend, instead of a hire fee. We really enjoyed our night.
