For over 135 years, Melbourne Town Hall has been at the physical and emotional heart of events that have celebrated the past and shaped the future of the city and state. Within the Town Hall Federation was debated, Nellie Melba debuted and the Beatles greeted adoring fans from the iconic balcony overlooking Swanston Street (today a much loved site for wedding ceremonies and cocktail parties).
Melbourne Town Hall offers a unique showcase destination for so many aspects of the city’s cultural, social and civic life. On any day, the venue will host theatrical performances, weddings, receptions, exhibitions, corporate launches, school concerts, conferences and cocktail parties.
The balcony of the Portico Room is the ultimate location for sensational cocktail parties and strikingly beautiful wedding ceremonies. Perched over Swanston Walk, the marble floor and ornate stonework combine to produce a remarkable space, from which guests view the Arts Centre spire framed between Flinders Street Station and St Paul’s Cathedral. This room can accommodate up to 120 guests. Rich with historical associations, this is one of Melbourne’s signature locations.
