As a wedding photographer, this is a Melbourne inner city gem for a wedding venue! I love the industrial feel of the venue, with it's high ceilings and exposed brick makes a great blank canvas for every couple to put their unique touch to their wedding. Can't wait to photograph at The Wool Mill again!

No words to explain how amazing our experience with the team at Wool Mill was for our wedding - from the Goodsmiths to Anatomy of Flowers and all of their suppliers, the way they made our planning an absolute breeze was second to none. They outdid themselves on the event planning, styling and food/drinks - could not recommend them enough! Thank you so much to Jasmine, Maddi, Shae, Dave and Silvia!! XXX

We had our wedding on 10 November 2023, and it looked absolutely gorgeous! We fell in love with the venue due to its blank canvas style, where anything from minimalistic to over the top style decor would have suited it. On the night we had so many comments on how stunning the venue is and that more people need to know about it (including from our cake maker who sees allllllll of the venues across Victoria). There are also nearby places where there is a nature element for those who would like to feature a contrast to the industrial look of the venue. You get the best of both worlds! I love that it’s very typical Melbourne hole-in-the-wall being down a lovely laneway, and the festoon lights are beautiful! The best part of the venue is the ‘secret’ speakeasy bar, which is also very Melbourne-esque. Everyone absolutely loved it! The staff were amazing, everything ran smoothly and I am so glad we had our wedding here, what a gorgeous venue!

We had our wedding here in late June 2024. We cannot fault the venue at all. After many inspections at others, as soon as we walked into the dining hall, we knew our vision would come to life at the Wool Mill. Everything we wanted, came to be. The planning team was phenomenal and in turn helped to execute the space into a fantastic venue for a party. The speakeasy bar was a brilliant touch, and provided a space for our guests to mingle. Location was solid and the bridal suite was a good get for us too, simply to take stock of the day! Highly reccommend!

We had a winter wedding at The Wool Mill and it was perfect!!! We had 150 guests for our ceremony and a sit down dinner provided by Refresh Hospitality (which was delicious). As it was in July, it was a cold and rainy day but that did not matter as everything in the Wool Mill was indoors. The heating was on and the venue stayed warm all night. We even took refuge there before the ceremony for photos indoors as it was raining. We had an on the day coordinator, Jemma who was an absolute star. She kept us running to schedule and kept us calm when we were getting overwhelmed in the excitement of the day. All the finest details were covered and all the styling items and extra drinks we brought were sent home with us. We are so grateful on how easy and stress free the day was. Also the Wool Mill provides security in their package so we had a security guard on the night and our wishing well was locked up after the ceremony for extra safety. The venue itself was clean, neat and spacious to comfortably fit all our guests. We had an epic dance floor too that was raging all night. We highly recommend this venue and the Nudo team as a wedding or event space. They had so many resources for us to choose from to dress up the venue and put on a great even such as a celebrant and florist. They were also happy for us to bring our own vendors of choice on board for the day such as our DJ and photographer. If you book the Wool Mill and the Nudo team you are guaranteed an easy, smooth and fabulous event!
