What our clients say about Cargo Hall

Cargo Hall was an incredible venue. The showtime staff were incredibly supportive of us throughout our whole journey. From venue and package selection through to perfect execution of our dream wedding. We had a blast and would highly recommend Showtime for your event or wedding!

Felicity & Kol

Awesome venue, location, service, everything. Our Wedding Producer created a seamless night listening to everything we wanted from lighting to additional features. Service and food were excellent too.

Sonia C.

They were phenomenal! They went above and beyond for me and nothing was ever an issue and they were so patient with me as well. People who never RSVP’d arrived and they just immediately catered for them and told me to worry about it.

Couldn’t be happier with Cargo Hall. If you’re looking for a space that’s easy to make your own and a team that’s all about trying to make your day exactly what you want it – then book Cargo Hall. We feel incredibly lucky to have booked a venue that was exactly what we were looking for. Everything in the lead up was perfect (big thanks to Rachel) and the day itself went off without a hitch thanks to the team.

Steph

Dana and the Showtime team were fantastic, personable and relaxed. Dana was especially amazing when it came to calming our nerves or dispelling our stresses on the lead up to the day. Everything ran like clockwork and we felt very well looked after. Organizing our wedding from interstate could have been stressful but the Showtime team did an incredible job putting the day together seamlessly, our party was excellent and we had so much fun! Can’t recommend Showtime and Cargo hall enough.
