What our clients say about Melbourne Town Hall

We are so happy we decided on the Supper Room to tie the knot and everything looked so beautiful and just how we wanted our ceremony. Thank you for organising everything so perfectly for us! Tilly’s confidence and kindness from start to finish definitely eased our minds in knowing we were in good hands as soon as we arrived at the Town Hall. It helped ease the nerves a lot!

Alexandra & Joshua

Hosting our wedding at Melbourne Town Hall was a dream. As detail-oriented planners, we appreciated Rebecca’s patience and responsiveness, even as we fine-tuned multiple versions of our run sheet and MC scripts. Her ability to bring structure and calm to the process was invaluable. On the big day, everything flowed beautifully. Eduardo and his team ensured a seamless event, Katie brought a warm, attentive presence, and the security team was professional and accommodating.

Brooke & Harrison

It was a dream to have our wedding ceremony at Portico Balcony. The team members at Showtime Event Group were professional, dedicated and had an extremely good eye for detail. They were able to bring our vision to life, and we’re incredibly thankful for all their support and guidance throughout the planning process.
