Booked Cellar Bar at The Grace Darling Hotel
5.0
We held a very short wedding ceremony of 30 people on the deck space. The ceremony started at 6:30 so we were able to enjoy the evening sun. One of our highlights was hearing the cheers and hooting of random bar patrons once we said our “I do’s”. We then shared an absolutely delicious 3 course meal in the cellar room. And for $2 a head, they provided a cake cut service. The Grace darling staff were super polite and punctual. Our family and friends are still raving about it. So much so that my two young friends want the same for their wedding day. I cannot forget to mention Nickers for tending to every last minute need of mine, taking the pressure off me so I could enjoy my day stress free. 100/10 recommend and if we could give a hundred stars we would. Thank you times a million 😭

Booked Whole Brewery at Inner North Brewing Company
5.0
Inner North was the perfect venue for our wedding - we wanted a relaxed, fun atmosphere, and it turned out exactly how we were hoping it would. All the staff on the night were brilliant, and Liz was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. We had a nice warm day and the space was amazing (both indoors/outdoors), as were the many beautiful beers - all of our guests were very impressed. Would highly recommend, and thank you all again!

Booked The Hall at The Hall at Welcome to Brunswick

We have the best experience with Alex, Amy and their team. Less than 2 mons to prep our wedding became possible because of Amy’s assistance in all our queries and needs. And the food is fantastic! We could not ask for more and would love to celebrate with them again

Booked Albert Room 2 at View Melbourne
5.0
We had moved from the Albert Room to The Boulevard Room 1 due to my guests increasing in number for my wedding reception. Shavaughn Galloway, the venue manager, immediately assisted me in sorting out my venue and she has been very patient in listening to what we wanted and entertained our specific dietary requirements. My guests and I enjoyed the food! They were raving about the striploin (which was highly talked about) and the dark chocolate ganache. My fiance, now husband and guests had a good time. Special thanks to Shavaughn and her team again for going above and beyond to assist us with our wedding reception. I highly recommend the place for any special events you may have and if you wish to have a larger number of guests, I'm pretty sure they can accomodate your needs and open the rests of the boulevard rooms. In addition, the view at night at the balcony was superb. We had a mini photoshoot outside with the lovely city lights. Overall I am happy and satisfied with the service and would highly recommend the view melbourne for any special or corporate events you may have.

Great food. Staff were so helpful and lovely throughout the whole planning process and on the night. Great space, it has a very neutral ambience so we were able to decorate it to look more "wedding" and it was beautiful. Food was awesome, all my guests loved the food.
