Our wedding at State Library Victoria, hosted by Showtime Event Group, was truly the best day of our lives. I never fully believed it when people said their wedding day is the best day of their lives, but I’m so glad to say I was wrong. It was perfect from start to finish, and we owe so much of that to Chloe, Yas, Pierce, and the entire Showtime team. Chloe, our Senior Wedding Producer, did a phenomenal job. She was attentive to our needs throughout the entire day, even anticipating what we might want before we realised it ourselves. Her communication was exceptional, both in the lead-up and on the day. Everything was clear, and she guided us step by step, making sure we knew what needed to be done to ensure everything ran seamlessly. The venue was breathtaking and looked like an absolute dream. Every detail was taken care of, and the atmosphere was beyond magical. The food was sensational, leaving our guests raving about every dish. Nothing went wrong, and everything was faultless! Working with Chloe was a breeze, even when I sent anxious emails or made frantic phone calls about misplaced signage. She handled everything with such professionalism and calm, which in turn helped me feel relaxed. I was genuinely a happy, calm bride, and that made the day even more special. Showtime Event Group, thank you for giving us a wedding day that was better than we could have ever imagined. Your expertise and dedication made everything perfect, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

I wish I could tell past me to never engage with Showtime Events. Our wedding was a nightmare from the moment we signed the contract. Communication was appalling, our planner ghosting us for 6-8 weeks at a time, ignored urgent emails, and left us scrambling to plan our Melbourne wedding from interstate. It took three months of constant chasing to lock in a tasting date, which ended up being a month before the wedding. The tasting itself was disappointing to say the least. The food was inedible, wilted, rotting salad, and dishes we couldn’t even finish. Despite initially trying to charge us for this “complimentary” disaster, they only comped it after we escalated. We were honestly embarrassed at the thought of serving this to our dearest family and friends. To top it off, they tried to sneak an extra $7,000 charge into our invoice. After multiple confrontations over the course of a week, they quietly removed it, proving just how dishonest this conduct was. A month out from the wedding, we felt stuck and dreadful for this contract we couldn’t get out of. And a wedding we weren’t confident in having. I honestly felt so embarrassed and woke up every day dreading this fast approaching wedding. By the time we were handed our third planner (who was decent, but too late to fix the damage) we were less than a month out from the wedding. Showtime treated our wedding like a sales quota—impersonal, careless, and exploitative. The venue is beautiful, but it's not worth the stress, deception, and heartbreak. I wouldn’t wish this experience on any bride. (Some extra feedback from a couple of our guests on the night was that they experienced unfriendly service from the staff, and some were even straight up rude).

Rebecca is a gem! She was our wedding producer and ultimately made our wedding vision come to life. It felt like nothing was too difficult for Bec and she showed us patience and support throughout the entire process. From the larger scaled details such as the seating plan, to the finer details, such as making sure the ribbons on our menus were looking cute, Bec made sure everything was perfect. Showtime Events were a pleasure to deal with and they definitely know how to put on an event. Thank you so much for giving us the wedding of our dreams. Liv & Mitch.

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.

The experience I had with Showtime Events has been disappointing. Upon initial enquiry, they reached out to arrange a time to call which they never got back to me after numerous emails and phone calls. It was only after a while I was told my emails never came through because it all “went to junk”. This doesn’t make sense considered we’ve already had previous correspondence from my email and it doesnt explain the ignored phone calls (to both the landline and mobile of who I was dealing with). Ultimately I didn’t end up going with Showtime who also ghosted me with no response back after I emailed them to cancel the viewing which only affirms my decision in not going with this company. The lack of communication and service for a big investment is highly disappointing and doesn’t instill any confidence in booking anything with them at all.
