What is the best time of day to hold an event at a rooftop restaurant in Melbourne?

Scheduling your event to take advantage of the best time of day often depends on the type of event and the ambience you want to create. 

 

• Sunset - Hosting an event during sunset offers stunning views of Melbourne's skyline as the sun dips below the horizon. The changing colours of the sky create a romantic and memorable atmosphere for events such as cocktail parties, engagements, or intimate dinners.
• Evening/Night - The skyline transforms into a glittering panorama as the city lights come on. Evening events can benefit from the city's vibrant energy after dark, with live music performances, DJ sets, or simply drinks under the stars. 
• Brunch/Lunch - During the day, guests can enjoy panoramic city views while indulging in delicious food and refreshing drinks. 

 

We also recommend taking the weather forecast into account when planning your event. During summer months, even early evenings can be quite warm. Consider offering shaded areas or fans if your event is later. Conversely, during winter, provide heaters or ensure the rooftop space is adequately heated for comfort in the evenings.

How far in advance should I book a rooftop restaurant in Melbourne for my event?

As a general guideline, booking at least 8 weeks to 6 months in advance is recommended to secure your preferred date and ensure that the venue can accommodate your event requirements. For larger events or during particularly busy periods, such as major festivals or events in the city, it may be prudent to book even further in advance, possibly up to a year ahead.
