Showtime Events Centre

OVERVIEW

Showtime Events Centre is a highly sought after wedding venue located in the heart of South Wharf with Yarra River frontage. A consecutive winner of the Best Reception Venue in Australia in 2018 and 2019, Showtime Events Centre is the ultimate blank canvas venue for couples who want to personalise the whole experience. A restored warehouse with the perfect balance of industrial-chic and grandeur, you can implement your unique style and aesthetic into the space.

“The best wedding venue not only in terms of location and style, but also an amazingly organised and experienced team. The food and drinks were amazing, with a large variety to choose from. The backdrop of the Yarra also allowed us to take some amazing dusk photos.” Olivia J

The visual aspects of Showtime Events Centre display a seamless combination of industrial charm and high-end furnishings. High ceilings, exposed beams and lighting rigs, and the stripped-back industrial aesthetic is complemented by the show-stopping chandelier, versatile laser-cut LED wall panels, and elite events capabilities. Another popular feature that couples love is the original timber floorboards which reflect the long-standing relationship Showtime Events has with the people of Melbourne.

With the combination of the experienced and passionate event managers, the award-winning culinary team, and the 5-star service that Showtime staff are renowned for, this venue certainly lives up to the Showtime reputation by delivering a truly unforgettable experience from beginning to end.

Incredible venue! We went Cargo Hall at South Wharf, and the place is stunning! High ceilings, dark hardwood floors and fairy lights made it beautiful! The team were absolutely lovely! They were really accomodating to our vision of how we wanted our wedding to look like! Would highly recommend Cargo Hall.

Showtime is the perfect versatile venue, for a non-traditional, unique wedding! A modern and contemporary blank space you can completely make your own with styling and decor. With multiple inclusive packages, and flexibility to have what you want, and a great team behind them. Our package included; food, drinks, centrepieces, table settings and more. Just by booking with them, a whole chunk of reception planning was done in one go. Our Wedding Producer, Karinda went above and beyond for us, and answered every silly question and multiple emails about everything and anything we inquired about. Nothing was too much! It made planning a whole lot easier, from the day we locked them in. We had both our Ceremony and Reception, and they transitioned between the two seamlessly. The whole day came together wonderfully. It is a convenient city location and self-contained for its busy wharf area. Our guests haven’t stopped telling us how much they enjoyed our wedding! Thank-you Showtime Team!

Showtime Events Centre was fantastic. The venue was beautiful, dream-like with the icicle lights, great central location on South Wharf, great canape space, interesting/non-boring bar and bathroom design. The staff were great. We had plenty of prompt communication prior to the event for all our random questions and requests. They were always accommodating as we needed a few extra visits to measure things and visualise our venue. On the day, our wedding ran smoothly thanks to the staff on the day.

Do we seat couples opposite or next to each other on a long table?

It's a garden setting. We want to allow better mingling

Showtime Events Centre

Good afternoon,

When booking your dream day with Showtime Event Group, you have a dedicated Wedding Producer looking after you and supporting you with your planning. They will create your floor plan and support you with a template for the seating arrangements. On long tables, it's nice to have couples sitting next to each other so they can look opposite the table and mingle with other couples.

Kind regards,
