July 2024

The Brisbane Powerhouse is a great venue, multiple spots for ceremony, and a great top private area for the reception. So many great photo locations, and an al round lovely industrial chic look and feel. The staff were fantastic the event manager was amazing and really helped make our day special. Most suprisingly is the powerhouse is very well priced compared to a lot of venues.

We recently held an event at the Brisbane Powerhouse and could not recommend the venue highly enough. The catering provider had lots of options and the food was absolutely delicious! From initial enquiry through to the night of the event, Katelyn was absolutely wonderful. Her thoughtfulness and professionalism was much appreciated and she made the entire process incredibly easy and stress free.

Katelyn was amazing in helping us through the process of planning an event. The space was perfect for us. The catering staff were exceptional but the glue to making our wedding a success was katelyn. So organised , so calm and nothing was impossible.

We had the most incredible wedding at the Brisbane powerhouse. It was seamless from start to finish, mostly due to how wonderful Anna our event coordinator was, as well as the stunning location. Food was delicious, venue was perfect, and our guests said it was one of the most fun weddings they'd been to. Another bonus is how affordable the venue is for the location and quality in comparison to similar venues. Highly recommend!!

Matt my husband and I had our wedding at the powerhouse in September 2023 and it was more than we could have hoped for. The venue itself is stunning with a unique mix of modern and old-fashioned elegance. We had the use of a top floor deck space for the ceremony with a room and deck space for the reception. This allowed us to use the parklands for photographs in between the two. Katelyn and the team organised everything and anticipated our needs . They had links to a brilliant range of suppliers and the catering was seamless; we opted for a grazing plate and then hot and cold canapés and beverages. We had a local florist adding beautiful red and pink flowers to the space decorated with fairy lights. All sound equipment was provided and I cannot recommend them highly enough!!
