Galleries for hire in Melbourne

If you're looking for a blank canvas space to turn your next event into an experience, then Melbourne has the perfect gallery locations. From modern galleries that are scattered across this city, there is no shortage of options when it comes to finding spaces with history and character!

What type of events can you host at Melbourne galleries?

Galleries are great for corporate events, exhibitions, conferences and workshops. They're ideal for events such as product launches, fashion shows or photo shoots due to their versatility.

How much does a Melbourne gallery cost to hire?

The cost of a gallery space in Melbourne varies depending on the location, size and amenities. For example, you'll find smaller galleries that are perfect for private functions at 375 per day or large event spaces with catering facilities available at 3000 per day - it all depends on what your needs are! A good rule of thumb is around 60-100 per person.

Do galleries offer catering for events?

Most Melbourne galleries offer catering services for your event, with some offering breakfast and lunches as well as evening cocktails. If the venue doesn't offer catering, ask if they allow external catering.

What steps are involved in booking an event space in Melbourne?

Considering booking a gallery for your event but not quite sure that the next steps are? VenueNow is here to help you. We make it easy for you to find, compare and book the best venue for your needs. Submit your event brief here and the VenueNow will get in touch within a few hours with a personalised list of the best venues that fit your brief. Once you've compared the recommendations, simply let the VenueNow team know which venues you are interested in. They'll then get in contact with the venues and get a quote with the best pricing as soon as possible. Once you're happy with a quote, the VenueNow will make an introduction to the venue and they'll handle things from there!

Once VenueNow has made an introduction to the venue, you will need to speak with the venue manager about your needs and requirements, and they'll be able to provide you with a final quote. Then once you have decided on dates, times and costs it's time to talk catering! Venues are usually happy to work alongside the caterers but don't forget that some venues in Melbourne do provide their own food so make sure this isn't an issue when booking.

If you'd like to progress, venues often have a deposit that you're required to pay up front, typically ranging from 10-50% of the event value. Depending on the venue and your event requirements, you'll then need to pay the remaining balance close to the event date or shortly after.

How many quotes from venues should I compare?

We recommend getting quotes from at least three different venues to compare their packages and offerings. Venues will tend to break down a quote into venue hire, food and beverage packages, and audio/visual equipment services.
