We just had our wedding here on June 2nd 2025 and I could not be more thankful to the whole team at Metropolis for making our dream wedding a reality. Our wedding planner, Natasha, assisted us through the whole planning journey and was so helpful and kind. We were also so thankful to Benny, who was our night of helper in making everything run smoothly. Highly recommend this amazing, exclusive, beautiful venue! Thank you again Metropolis Events!!
What a hidden gem... I had never heard of this place before but behind this interesting entrance spans a grand events venue with rich decor, beautiful views and space that makes you feel special even as a guest. My favourite part was the big beautiful windows with luxurious sheers that draped down overlooking the river. Weird thing to mention but important is the restrooms were clean and very relaxing. There was a long nice bar and the service staff throughout the whole event was amazing and attentive. Overall awesome event and great venue.
We are so happy to have gone with Metropolis - it was so beautifully set up, the team made the night go well despite us not having a lot planned. The team at Metropolis made wedding planning seamless for us, so thank you Metropolis!
We recently hosted end of year Christmas party at Metropolis and the venue was beautiful! The highlight of the venue the large balcony that overlooks the Yarra River and the Melbourne CBD skyline, the view was lovely on the sunny day that our event was on. Thank you to Yvonne and Angela who made the event planning process seamless. Thanks also to the on the day event staff who were very attentive.
Where do I even begin to express the sheer gratitude and awe we feel after our unforgettable wedding experience at Metropolis? From the moment we began planning our special day, and throughout the entire process, Yvonne, Lin, and the entire team at Metropolis, alongside Toff & Technical Events, demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and genuine care that went above and beyond our expectations. We were truly blown away by the level of service and hospitality provided by the entire Metropolis staff on the day of our wedding. Each team member played a crucial role in ensuring that every moment was executed flawlessly, allowing us to savour every precious second of our celebration. From fluffing my dress just before our grand entrance, to carrying me up the stairs because I was too exhausted at the end of the night in my Lehenga, and even helping our family find their way to the loading docks and assisting them in loading the cars at the end of the night—the team was an absolute dream! The attention to detail, seamless coordination, and genuine warmth from the team made our wedding day an absolute dream come true. Our guests are still raving about the impeccable service, the incredible food, and the overall enchanting ambiance that Metropolis effortlessly provided. Yvonne, Lin, and the entire team genuinely cared about making our day special and memorable. For that, our hearts are full of gratitude for the magical memories they helped us create with our family and friends. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making our wedding day an experience that will forever be etched in our minds. You guys are incredible and Prad & I appreciate everything you did for us!!
