OVERVIEW

The State Library Victoria is a uniquely Melbournian venue that is sure to make your wedding one which guests will not soon forget. A perfect space for all couples, from the bibliophile couple to those wanting to celebrate in elegance and style, there is a sense of magic that emanates from the walls at the State Library Victoria, with an old-world glamour which is hard to find in event spaces today.

“We always said we wanted a unique city venue- well the Ian Potter Queens Hall at the State Library Victoria certainly had it all! Our vintage glamour wedding style matched perfectly with the stately room, that managed to handle a full night club vibe at the end of the night! Just stunning. We were so grateful to be able to gift our guests the experience of this gorgeous venue, ‘after dark’.” Jessica S

There are many distinct features unique to the Library, such as long elegant halls, grand marble staircases, Corinthian columns, galleries and reading rooms, just to name a few. Whether you are looking for a ceremony location, reception location, or both, the venue can cater to both, the State Library Victoria can cater to the needs of your big day. 

Over the last decade, the State Library Victoria has been brought back to life with $88.1 million worth of redevelopments, which has exposed some of the never before seen rooms back to their original grandeur. These restorations haven’t infringed on the historical atmosphere; instead, they have created a seamless combination of new and old. There are now eleven new function spaces within the State Library that can host your dream wedding.

Showtime Event Group elite team of wedding planning specialists will be able to walk you through the range of wedding packages or help create you tailor a package that suits your needs and budget. Showtime Event Group doesn’t believe in cookie-cutter weddings, so your wedding will be treated as the unique event it’s meant to be.

Showtime Events, handled our wedding reception with a bang! We chose to have our reception in the Conversation quarter, and it truly showed representation of our relationship. Our event producers, Chloe and Dana were the best! they made sure that our day would be free of stress and filled with love! Their menu has received compliments from our guests! and was noted to be the best wedding menu they have tasted. Thank you Showtime events!

Had our wedding at the state library and it was the most beautiful event, a small gathering of family and friends join in on our celebration and all had a fabulous time. Staff and caterers where amazing and everything was set up so beautifully. If you love books and history and enjoy the intimate environment and state library is a wonderful choice for all events. My husband and I are so happy we could share our special day there. Thank you.
