Halls for Hire in Melbourne

• Most halls in Melbourne are priced with a hire fee, which means you’re paying for using the space only. The usual rates range between $200 and $1000 per session, depending on the size and the location of the hall.
• You might also stumble upon minimum spend venues. This means you’re not paying a single dollar for hall hire, you just need to spend a certain amount on food and/or drinks instead. Minimum spend rates in Melbourne usually start at $1000 and go up to several thousand – these prices also differ depending on the size of the function!
• Last but foremost, some function spaces in Melbourne offer special event package deals – these usually include set food and drink menus, while the prices range between $30 and $150 per head.
