What makes Canvas house the ideal venue for your next wedding or private event?
In the heart of South Melbourne lies one of Melbourne's most exciting event spaces, Canvas House. It has almost all of the coveted features of a conventional warehouse: high ceilings, exposed trusses, beautiful polished concrete floor and exposed brick walls.
At Canvas House, you can take advantage of the natural light flowing in from the large windows and doors as well as create an intimate atmosphere with custom lighting design. This large warehouse space has a high capacity yet is also perfect for more intimate events.
Canvas House creates a sense of warmth and homeliness. We want you to feel at home at Canvas House which is why you can bring in your own suppliers and caterers who can have full use of all of the equipment that we have on-site. You may opt to hire a particular caterer or maybe you are thinking about food trucks, or something a little different to the norm. The doors from the courtyard fold back neatly so it is easy to drive in vehicles from the rear laneway.
At Canvas House, anything's possible when it comes to planning your event. Whether it’s a private gathering, corporate event or wedding, the team is on hand to make your dream come true.
