Cargo Hall

Description

Nestled amongst high-end restaurants and cafes, world-famous tourist attractions, and showstopping events venues is Cargo Hall. A former docking shed, this spacious warehouse has been given the modern Melbourne treatment and now hosts events of distinction. Designed to entertain, Cargo Hall has sound and lighting rigs in the soaring ceilings, so if you’re planning for live entertainment at your reception, then you’ve found the perfect place.

A venue that combines waterfront and city views is always a winner, and Cargo Hall offers both from its glass-fronted atrium. Located right on the Yarra River, you can watch the world go by on the gorgeous Promenade as your wedding kicks into gear behind you. The Hall is a flexible space that couples can use for both ceremonies and receptions. Many couples choose to stand an arbour against the wall beside the entrance, creating a long aisle from the private bridal suite at the rear of the room.

Featuring dark timber floorboards, large windows with black frames, and plenty of natural light, Cargo Hall combines rustic elements with modern aesthetics. Draped curtains, soft lighting, and floral arrangements infuse a bit of romance into the space. Hang them from the ceiling to evoke a sense of fairytale wonder.

Whilst you’re off snapping photos by the water, the Cargo Hall event space snap into action to transform the space for your reception. They can get started by serving some post-ceremony drinks and snacks to your guests.
