The CBD is an excellent location for hosting a large wedding. Look particularly in the areas between Flagstaff Gardens and the East End for many of the city’s larger venues. Looking beyond the centre, check out venues along the Yarra in Southbank which also offer the benefit of a riverside view. Large venues can even be found in the areas around South Melbourne, South Yarra and East Richmond. All of these districts are easily accessible and offer a convenient and central location for large events.

Most couples secure their first-choice venue at least one year in advance. However, in case of large weddings, you may even want to start your venue-hunt one and half years in advance so that you have enough time to find spaces that will accommodate your number of guests, as well as give you the opportunity to compare their offers, schedule viewings and pick the best one.
