What our clients say about Melbourne Town Hall

It was such a pleasure to be back in Melbourne Town Hall and working with an Event Manager who understood our needs, was flexible with our constantly changing requirements, and went out of their way to ensure they helped us deliver the best event possible. The effort and enthusiasm that the MTH staff bought to making the APRA awards a memorable event was outstanding. Plus, the space itself is stunning. 10/10!
