Grand Ballroom at Melrose Events

The Grand Ballroom at Melrose Events is a premier event space that delivers drama, sophistication, and scale. With its soaring ceilings, glamorous interior design, and dynamic event capabilities, the ballroom is the perfect choice for large weddings, major fundraisers, corporate awards nights, and luxurious private events.

The newly transformed Hudson Room at Melrose Events offers an exquisite balance of grandeur and intimacy, perfect for weddings, corporate functions, receptions, and private celebrations. Located just six kilometres from Melbourne Airport with easy access via the Tullamarine Freeway, the venue is ideal for both local and interstate guests.

Seamlessly elegant in design, the Hudson Room features classic wainscoting throughout the space, an immaculate chandelier that is unique beyond words, and a marbled bar that embodies a bold sense of maximalist luxury. Guests are welcomed by the finest carpet, designed exclusively by the directors, complemented by a marble-inspired dance floor that sets the stage for unforgettable celebrations. The architecture also boasts a massive private bridal suite, a private entrance with grand statement doors, and a spectacular fireplace, all combining to create a venue that is both breathtaking and timeless.

The Magnolia Room at Melrose Events is a beautifully designed, intimate venue perfect for smaller weddings, engagement parties, communions, baptisms, milestone birthdays, and corporate functions. With contemporary finishes, warm chandelier lighting, and a stylish interior, it delivers a boutique event experience that feels both exclusive and welcoming.

The Grand Ballroom Mezzanine sits above the main ballroom at Melrose Events, a refined space with a view over the room below. Completely refurbished alongside the rest of the venue, it suits events that want scale nearby without needing the full ballroom footprint.

It works as a standalone space for cocktail functions, VIP areas, product launches and smaller social celebrations, and just as well as a breakout or VIP overflow running alongside a larger event downstairs. It suits smaller groups and breakout spaces best, generally between 30 and 60 people.

New finishes, updated lighting and flexible AV setups carry through from the main refurbishment, so the space can shift from a seated dinner to a standing cocktail event without missing a beat. The Mezzanine also has its own private bar, so drinks service runs independently of the main ballroom below.

180 free onsite car spaces, no music curfew and a licence to 1am apply across the venue, including the Mezzanine. A dedicated events team and in house culinary team handle the detail, so you can focus on the day itself.
