Garden party venues can be found all across Melbourne, from St Kilda to Brunswick and Clifton to Southbank. You will find many options with a gorgeous riverside view of the Yarra, as well as other waterside options near the beachfront in St Kilda. When looking for a venue to suit your event, make sure and check for any opportunity for indoor cover in case of rain as Melbourne weather can be fickle.
In Melbourne, you should book an outdoor party venue at least 3 months in advance. Why? Because you want to give yourself plenty of time to plan, prepare, and organise the event from scratch! You don't want to be short on time or rush through the process and run the risk of not enjoying the process. Remember, the more time you have leading up to your event, the more likely it is that everything will go smoothly. You'll also have a better chance of getting an early bird price if you book early enough.
