OVERVIEW

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. Cargo Hall falls under the Showtime Event Group banner and reaps all the benefits of this award-winning organisation. Renowned across Australia and internationally for putting on lavish events and parties, Showtime Event Group has the best caterers, planners, and stylists in the game.

 

When it comes to choosing your wedding day menu, you’re seriously spoiled for choice. Offering roving hot and cold canapes, shared feasts, and plated multi-course banquets, you’ll easily find a dining style that suits the tone of your wedding. Even more exciting is the range of cuisines their talented culinary team whips up; choose from modern European and Australian dishes, Asian and Indian courses, and even a mouthwatering plant-based menu.

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.

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. The food was delicious, as we've heard from guests, and everything else was exactly what we had expected. Lived up to our expectations and then some!

The most incredible venue anyone could ever want!!! The package came with a wedding planner to help us. Her name was Abi and she was incredible. So organised and prompted us if we forgot anything at all and we met up numerous times to talk about ideas and planning. There was nothing too challenging for her. I would have been lost without Abi!!!!! The staff on the day were amazing, patient, lovely and professional. They even made an effort to chat to our guests which was so nice! The food was fantastic. They made the venue look even better than what we ever imagined. I wish I could do it all over again and everything went exactly to plan. I cannot thank Cargo Hall and the crew enough for their help!!
