My husband and I had our wedding here a year ago, the night was magical with a few minor hiccups - coffee and tea weren't served, and some guests found that their meals weren't right but all in all everyone had a great time. The organisation of the team was wonderful, we had the luxury of dealing with Rachel and then moving onto Claire, when she moved on, and there was not much we had to worry about. The venue was amazing and we are so grateful to have such a wonderful day. Thanks team SEG, you guys were a breeze to deal with and thank you for the amazing venue.

Been to weddings here twice, during the night the place looks spectacular but during the day you can see the ceiling fittings coming through with the daylight and it looks like a backyard shed, if the premises was fully blacked out from the sun it would create a nicer ambience, it doesn't quite have that same allure as when it is set up for night functions. Catering was great though, better than most reception centers.

Event after event, this venue is impressive. I particularly love it during conferences where guests are free to wander around the riverfront space. Great staff and service. One of the very best large event venues in Melbourne!

Have been here a few times now for work functions and enjoy my experience each time. Great to have the undercover outdoor area to catch up and certainly capture some moments out on the edge of the Yarra River as well with the beautiful Melbourne skyline backdrop. Staff consistently generally aren't engaging or positive which can take the gloss off a little.

These people are amazing, They saved us and saved our wedding on 3 weeks notice!!!! We found ourselves without a venue after the previous one threatened to cancel our event if we didn't pay them another $6000 outside our contract (Rock Art Events). Alice worked until past 9:30 pm and found us three venues to view the next day. The amount of time and effort they went to was incredible and we will be sending anyone that will listen to them for future events. We cant thank you enough Alice, Charlotte and Showtime!
