Blank canvas venues give you plenty of freedom when it comes to arranging the space, and some of them will also be flexible in other aspects, such as catering. For example, Warehouse Space at Bighouse Arts in Coburg North and ON3 Studio in Brunswick East both offer BYO venue hire, which means you are free to bring your own food and alcohol to the event. Not only does it give you more freedom, but it can also be a good way to save some cash if you’re on a budget! Hop on Tagvenue and use our filters to easily find Melbourne venues that offer this option.
Super friendly staff, delicious cocktails, beautiful decor and we were able to play our own music (Sundeck).
Amazing venue all my guest loved it. the atmosphere was such a vibe. Phil and all the staff were so friendly and very helpful. Definitely recommend this place for hosting a birthday party in a private function area.
The venue was perfect for my little 21st birthday! I had the best time and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The communication leading up to the event was also superb, I really appreciated Leela for all her help in planning my event. Thank you for having me, I had an amazing time!
Alex and his team were very welcoming and accomodating. We had to make last minute requests that were outside of the scope due to some changes from our side, however they didnt make us feel like a nuisance and were very helpful. Venue was very chilled, we enjoyed the use of the BBQ and deck which was very handy. Thank you Mooee Ponds Bowling Club. We'll be back again.
The location was in central CBD. Very convenient to get to and parking was nearby. The venue itself was spacious as well as the lovely outdoor area it opens up to. For the location and the venue itself, the price is very affordable! All the guests loved it and have said they will consider hiring it for their own events in the future. The booking was managed by Piper, who was very kind and gave us a very informative induction before the event.
Beautiful space, and the way the space is carried out with the seating arrangement. A perfect venue for team meeting, network building and meetups. Host is reliable in answering questions, very friendly and nice. We had an enjoyable time there!
